Builder got way behind initially ad then fired field manager. Hired new manager and everything seemed to be rushed to meet their timeline. They closed us without proper appliances (that we are still waiting o to be replaced.) Roof was not installed incorrectly and we had a roof leak the first night we spent in the home. They would not give us any official documentation of the repairs for our records. We have electrical issues (still), loose wiring in service panel and breakers popping. We still have water retention problems in the yard that need attention. Other than that, everything's great. (sarcastic). ... More

We have lived in our new home for a month and one half and a number of issues remain. Although some are scheduled to be mitigated today by your customer service representative who is excellent, others are unresolved although multiple requests to correct have been submitted. Our front garden is an embarrassment with the only response being it meets design elements. Some plants look like blades of grass peeking out of the mulch snd others look totally dead. Although we were visited by a group of representatives of Pulte and your landscaper (after numerous postponements) we were given the “company line” with no corrections to date although we were promised that some inferior plants would be replaced. Our fireplace has not worked yet and one of the controls in our shower is an incorrect color. This had been reported to the contractors who did the installations but wd have not heard from them. There are no communications between Pulte and the management company and we do not get communications regarding issues important to the development and its occupants. It took over a month for us to be registered in the management data base and some documents we were to be given at closing have still not been received by us. Delays in the opening of the clubhouse are understandable but the residents are not being informed regarding (as I have heard from my neighbors who are longer term residents) potential opening dates have been moved back with no one being notified. Our refrigerator has not been delivered and, although we were given an original delay of about six weeks,, we are at that point now and have no updates. A primary ingredient to all of this is ongoing timely and accurate communications but no one seems to either know or have interest in providing this. The overall attitude appears to be that the residents (YOUR CUSTOMERS) are totally unimportant. I would love to have a conversation with your representative as my sentiment is to explore ways to address snd correct resident complaints snd to contribute to building a COMMUNITY we will all enjoy snd be proud of. ...

The sales team was great. Really sold me on the community and I loved the Mystique layout. After I bought the perfect lot on the lake it all went downhill. My field manager never kept me updated, there was issues getting water approved for the development phase, supply and labor shortages, we still don’t have cell phone reception outside of the house, my internet router had to be replaced and the breaker switch in my office was replaced and still keeps tripping. There’s drainage issues on one side of the yard and the runoff has washed away large areas of my lot. The workmanship quality was far less than I expected and the lack of communication very frustrating. ... More

Everyone was so great to work with and the quality of the work was super. I love my house!!

Process for responding to issues is slow.

They understood my issues and did everything they could to accommodate me

The builder did a great job getting our house built in these trying times.

We had a great experience with pulse home builders but the Pilates mortgage experience was horrible. After we had provided all paperwork several times we never got the ok to close till the day before

Overall it was a good experience for me

We would highly ask for Elaine if you're interested in this community. She is absolutely fantastic. Communication was great and she even sent us pictures of the build progress since we live out of state. Elaine is 5 stars!!! Everything about the community is top notch. The home designs are very good and there's plenty of options to get exactly what you want. So all that is 5 stars. It took awhile to complete the home from purchase to getting our keys, but due to covid, with materials and labor issues, we understood and it didn't bother us so beware it could take 8-10 months from start to finish. So the reason for our 3 star overall rating, is the lack of getting our walk through items fixed. In talking to our neighbors it's a common thing. Most of our walk through punch list were due to drywall, paint and overall cleanliness issues. We did a pre-walk and created the punch list with our super. We got our keys 4 days later and virtually nothing was done. You would think Pulte would have these trades scheduled after the pre-walk to address the issues as I'm sure they are the most common ones. Our master walk in shower glass wasn't installed until the following week. We still don't have our dishwasher, they did put in a temporary one, but it's terrible. We have heard nothing from Pulte at all. The work crews next door damaged our stucco on two of our patio posts and they still aren't repaired. We had to send in our own punch list to the super, he said they'll work on it. We haven't heard back. So it's very frustrating with the lack of communication and lack of repairs being addressed and scheduled. We would recommend buying in this community, but you have to have a lot o fpatience. ...

Allow brick or stone facades to houses (as formerly done).. Allow wash tubs in garages (as was done up until recently). Allow pocket doors as an option. Allow pantry doors to open “out.” Note: we paid a carpenter to change ours. One of our better decisions was to use Pultes mortgage, insurance, and legal firms. The coordination between them was seamless and perfect. Made our job much easier.

Stay on top of you builder. They are under a lot of pressure taking care of so many homes. If you stay on top of them you can get better attention to your needs. Over all good builder.

The quality of workmanship is far from satisfactory. The house was not cleaned properly prior to owner possession. Numerous issues with the finish work requiring constant contact with the Field Quaility Manager, as well as the Customer Care Office. Appointments scheduled and the Trades do not show up or call, with total disregard for the home owners time waiting around all day for a no show. Buying a new EXPENSIVE Home should be a pleasant experience. I wish I could say that about the purchase of this home.

Sales reps and initial customer service were great. Recent follow up by customer service not so good.

Everything needs to be verified . There was some issues that had to be addressed and are not satisfied as of this date.

This was our first-time building. As we raised our concerns, our field manager pretty much consistently dismissed us and didn't address the issues. The landscaping was unacceptable for many reasons-didn't matter that we weren't satisfied. To be fair the Warranty department is great, responsive in a timely manner, and motivated to correct the issues.

Have been pleased. Zach is the best. The workers in landscaping and home building construction have been awesome & work hard.

buliders were ok at 1st they stayed in communication , but not towards the ending phase

It wasn’t a good experience! With the title company!

There were numerous items to be handled at settlement . We did not move in until 6 weeks after settlement. Numerous no shows from vendors. I assure you if you do not settle they will be handled immediately . We are finally getting some progress .

Marshall was great to work with—lots of attention to detail throughout the process and follow-up after completion. A+!!

Overall construction is very good but "standard options" should be much better at this price point. Quick examples; you shouldn't have to pay extra to get interior window trim and 5" baseboards; carpet padding should be much better; and garage doors should be insulated instead of single layer sheet metal. We tried to keep upgrades to a minimum because the many of the prices are just ridiculous, but it still took more than $100K to turn the standard house they offer into a house we wanted but could still afford. We did our "final walkthrough" the morning of closing because they were still trying to finish projects which should have been completed the week before. We should have just delayed the closing because getting final fixes to the issues we found during and before that walkthrough has taken more than six weeks. ... More

I love my new home! There have been some issues, but the builder has been responsive. Communication during the building process was not great. The closing date kept getting pushed out which caused some difficulties for me. Closing was completed smoothly on site which was great.

Extremely long ordeal. Poor quality of products and installation of products. Warning: do not sign off until All items are complete. Side garage door should be standard, not an upgrade. No vanity lights above mirror in master bath. Just lights on 10ft ceiling. Vanity lights an upgrade too?

Very pleased with Pulte. No horror stories at all.
