We are satisfied new Pulte home owners

This place is amazing and can’t believe I live here. The process was easy and everyone was friendly and helpful for closing. The units are very beautiful. Although there were somethings that were frustrating were the units were made were you had to do some work, like carpets in the bedroom or all units made for handicap. Also somethings they fail to mention and yiu find out later. Overall, I love living here, it’s quiet, plenty to do and walk,

Several options were not available. Did not insulate all garage walls. landscaping was quick and dirty, no care or tight placement of sod. Exterior walls were 2 x 4 construction, not 2x6. Windows were single hung not double hung, not an option. paint seems cheap, comes off with painter tape.

Overall, the purchase of the home was easy. We had to go through the bidding process for our lot and would prefer a set price instead. Sales consultants and design studio personnel do not always tell you every option available, but are pleasant to work with. Document everything with an email. Our construction manager was very responsive and available all the time for questions and issues. At pre-closing, we found many issues that were not corrected before closing. Fortunately, we were assured all problems will be fixed and now have appointments with vendors to take care of my three typed pages of problems. ... More

When we selected our house, everything had been selected/upgraded by the builder, color of cabinets, flooring, appliances etc. The price of the upgrades were high for what we got. We are still waiting to have some issues resolved.

Our field manager was excellent. More informative information from the sales office would have been appreciated since we were out of state buyers. More frequent updates would have helped us understand the numerous closing date delays.

We contracted to buy our home during the height of the market and the pandemic. Prices were rising so quickly so we had to act fast and chose not to buy certain upgrades so as not to price ourselves out of the market. We let the increased prices drive our decisions and didn’t get the lot or home we really wanted. I hope the house is built soundly and that we won’t have any problems down the road. Only time will tell in that regard. For the most part everything is good. Thank you.

Loving the community ane the neighbors

However, after moving in, one quickly realizes that Pulte does not give the same level of craftmanship to the buyers' homes. The foundation, structure, and layout of their homes is wonderful. But, they are lacking with the finishing touches. The paint is awful; you can see white through it in many areas. If you try to wipe off a mark, you instantly expose the sheetrock. Additionally, the paint job (along with the grout and caulk) is sloppy. There are drips, runs, and missed areas throughout the home. It's just regretful that more effort wasn't given to the aesthetics of the home. A second coat of paint, neatly applied, would go along way in making buyers happy. There are additional things incorrect in my home, such as: receptacles that are upside-down and not working, missing grout and a door sweep, and uneven pavers. Again, it's the small details that would have made moving in to a brand new home much more pleasant. Afterall, who wants to move into a brand new home and have to request a dozen items to be repaired. With all that being said, I love my community and home. I just wish I could have moved right in and started enjoying the amenities, rather than correcting errors. ... More

My home was not cleaned upon my arrival. Multiple repairs not done. The response from Elaine in sales was wonderful. She facilitated help from construction manager Ron who responded right away and had Steve meet with me to help. Ron and Steve are also great and really helped me. I am meeting with the warranty team, as my backsplash needs to be replaced due to numerous incorrectly installed glass tiles. There are several other installation issues that Ron is helping me to correct

We understood that because of all the supply issues taking place our home building experience would be a struggle. Our building manager, Jesse, did a great job of handling everything and issues that developed. Jen, our sales manager, was a true gem that helped us when we had real issues. Our biggest problem was when upper management informed us 2 days prior to our "non negotiable" walk thru and closing dates that they would be delayed. Jen and Jesse jumped in to help us get in our home on the date promised.

Ryan and John both did a great job on top of things. Material and labor issues caused some delays.Still waiting on modern garage doors over a month after closing.

The home is very comfortable

Downsizing after 35 years in your home is a complicated process but the sales and construction field staff made our move to a Del Webb community a positive experience. Thank you Siobhan, Josh & Zach

We received our home in great condition

It was five days short of a year from buying the house to closing on the house. Supply problems worker shortages and other factors all contributed to the problem. Pulte did a good job considering all these externalities and it would be hard to have expected a perfect experience. We’re glad to be in our new house and look forward to living here a long time.

Overall, our process was very satisfactory. Materials and fit and finish were very good. We have built 6 homes and this experience rated high on the list. Be sure to make sure you cover all deficiencies prior to closing. After closing little things are fixed. We have a major situation and it proving to be harder to remedy.

In this day of home buying/building and supply issues, Zac was the one we turned to for updates, questions and soothing. The experience was probably the best it could be given the situation in the world today. The only reason I couldn't rate a 5 is due to the build time and a few communication issues during construction.

It was a bumpy road during construction. Project manager unresponsive to issues found in house during construction. Warranty group now fixing those items after we moved in. Felt not heard during construction and it’s quite inconvenient with a husband at home on Hospice from Alzheimer’s. I’m really not happy living in a construction zone with items raised during construction now being corrected. It’s very disruptive and difficult because of my husband’s illness.

overall, I received lots of communication about the house building process. my questions were always answered till understood what I was asking. It may be just the climate of building houses nowadays with everything very rushed. I wasn't happy with the painters or paint that was used, and the concrete work could have been a little neater.

I would stay in close contact with builder and the process. So there are no surprises .

Overall, we were happy with our buying experience and are happy with our home. The quality is better than some other homes we have seen built in the area. Communication from the builder could have been better. For example, if you want to get your mortgage from someone other than Pulte, make sure to ask what information they need and when. We felt like we were forced into a mortgage with Pulte Mortgage, although the rate was very good. Pulte Mortgage is difficult to work with. When it was time for our appointment for upgrades and choosing color schemes, we were only given partial information ahead of time so we felt pressured to make quick decisions on those things we had no information on and would have chosen differently if we had the needed information beforehand. Upgrades are more expensive than they should have been, in my opinion. Also, we payed for dedicated 20 amp outlets in the garage. 20 amp lines and breakers were put in, but we only got 15 amp sockets. We were told they can’t or won’t fix that. Our home came with a wet bar option. We wanted the cabinets, but no sink and were told that wasn’t possible; yet the neighbors were allowed to eliminate the sink and get the cabinets in their home. Why the difference? So a buyer needs to work hard to make sure they get what they really want. The landscaping and sod leave a lot to be desired. I would recommend having an outside inspector inspect the home before purchase and at 11 months. Pulte is more likely to fix the things in the inspection report and the inspector will often find things the buyer misses. Having said all that, I do not have any overall regrets about purchasing this home. ... More

The way they hurried to finish the home at the cost of quality and finish was disappointing. There are days worth of work yet to be done to fix the problems with the home. The attention to detail is not what it should be and is definitely not what I expected out of a Pulte Home.

They are vertical integrated which can be a bonus depending on the team

Need to visit often to keep the project moving
