John Wieland Homes Reviews

Home has a lot of new features and very good efficiency rating. Drywall finish and paint was not up to par with the rest of the home features.

Representation on the build side was exceptional. Preston was second to none during the process up to and through the Celebration Walk. On sales side, representation was also exceptional. Product knowledge could be improved, but overall great. While we bought this house 75% in...because the previous deal fell through...there were no changes allowed. I think it would be advantageous to allow some level of change if features were not finished. Paint, add a doot to the garage for exit to the back yard...set some guidelines though as in understand materials were already purchased.

Nice house' delivered ontime.

Good home for the price.

Pulte Homes seems to focus on speed of the build at the expense of attention to detail. We've been in our home less than a month and I have spent over 7 days at home at various points waiting on "warranty trades to repair/adjust multiple items. The is a reasonable expectation for a punch list and i understand things needing adjustments but there have been multiple repairs and replacements. Hopefully, any major issue will show itself in year 1 when it's easier to get warranty work done. On the other hand Kerry, the field manager, has responded to issues immediately and has scheduled repairs with the urgency. He has a tough job under Pulte's Speed Building model. ... More

PRO: The homes are beautiful, luxurious, and well designed. CON: They are built quickly, so there may be minor workmanship issues.

Our builder made the biggest difference in our process. Brent was amazing!

I will know better at the 1 year mark. Fixes are still in progress.

Overall the process was easy and people were extremly helpful. However, we were disappointed with limited amount of materials/colors/options offerred overall. In addition, when construction was completed, so of the location of the elements incorporated in the house could have been better placed.

The sales agent David is great. The turnover rate for the builders are terrible. We had three different builders by the time we closed. This lead to a lot of issues and barriers for closing, specifically things not getting ordered, projects not being scheduled in a timely fashion, and no one checking to see if projects were done to a certain standard ultimately leading to a six minute delay for closing and me missing out on great interest rates. Having paid >$600k for a home, I wasn’t expecting this. Nonetheless if the communication and Quality Control improves, the buying experiences would be awesome. ... More

Love the overall design and layout of the model. Frequent changes to personnel was a problem even when the personnel were good.

Overall Ok. Design center was awful and created most of our issues.

Patrick was an asset and still offers us great advice, great service and really good resources to use in getting our home to perfection

The neighborhood, its proximity to the surrounding community, and our neighbors are wonderful! The structural integrity of our home is solid (especially given the stringent inspections conducted by the City of Alpharetta). If you buy here, you will live in a solidly built home in a great location! With that said, the finishing touches leave A LOT to be desired. It's like Pulte ran an impressive marathon for the first 25.7 miles and then meandered for the final half-mile. • The painting crew did an extremely poor and incomplete job. We've had them come out multiple times to do the job properly, and we're still needing to have them come out again. Their workmanship is the not the standard you'd expect from a John Weiland Home. • The staining crew for the stairs throughout the house also had poor workmanship, and like the painters, we're having them come back out to re-do all the stairs. • The cleaning crew honestly did not have workmanship from all appearances. We closed on the purchase of our home as we needed to move; however, we did provide this feedback in our survey to Pulte afterward, along with providing it here, in the hopes that for future builds in our neighborhood, Pulte finishes the race strong with the finishing touches that you'd expect when buying a John Weiland home at this price point. On the positive side, Pulte is stepping up in response to the issues and resolving them, which is a good and right thing to do. We're appreciative of that. Our view though is simply do the job properly the first time to avoid the extra time, cost, headache, and the feeling that corners are being cut at the finishing stages. Would we buy here again? Yes, absolutely. We know we have a solidly built home in a great location with friendly neighbors. We're very happy to be here, and we look forward to more neighbors joining us. When you do though, be very attentive to the finishing touches and the workmanship that goes into them. ... More

Have reported several issues more than once that have not been resolved

I have now resided in the home for 3 weeks and a lot of little occurrences have appeared. Leaks, cracks, drainage issue, an electrical outlet doesn't work, a light fixture stopped working, a minor gas leak, and some dings on the shower panel. However, outside all of that the house is nice.

Love the area, very convenient and the community is friendly, laid out open spaced and lots of room for roaming around. My house was bought as a new build so I did not design the interior but the Pulte designers did a fantastic job with the fittings, it is everything that I was looking for. The final workmanship lacked some attention to detail and it could of being finished off a bit better with a watchful eye, I don't believe a customer care inspection was done before closing because it was a rush job and it is now evident. The house itself is wonderful, awesome layout and mostly top class finishings. Most major issues I had at inspection have being resolved but there is still a few weeks work to be done that needs to be refinished and replacements to be done. Lack of attention in the final stages is probably the biggest flaw but altogether its a wonderful house and area. ... More

Good overall experience. Quality of craftsmanship is not there for the dollar value we paid.

It took more than a year to get home and a lot of compromises we had to make.

We very much love our home and the features we were able to select but there were some questionable issues at the pre-dry wall inspection that were blown off by our construction manager. Gaps in framing where air could get through and large holes in the wood paneling they refused to address. There were also many issues with overall craftsmanship of finished items and they were only half fixed by the time we moved in. Examples of issues are mismatch cabinet paint, paint touch ups never done/done poorly, holes in the wall that were only halfway fixed so you can still see the indentions, cabinet doors not lined up (we fixed them ourself) terrible draining in the yard with dead puddled grass (they are still saying they will fix this). There are also paint spots on the wood floor where they just did not clean it well. Our garage door didnt even have the weather stripping around it. I will say that our customer care manager has been excellent for all the things I have brought up. I just feel like there were a lot of sloppy fixes before we moved in that would make me probably not go with this home builder in the future. ... More

Issue with flooring, still the issue is open and notified field manager Michael. Field manager said, he logged a warranty request but no response its been 4 weeks and issue is open with the more glue on wood floors.

New construction looks great but after a month. we are starting to discover issues with construction on the small stuff to date they have responded but as we are doing work we have noticed issues with blinds installed 40% are not straight or broken also in checking the windows 2 have broken locks and will need to be reset or replaced. Will add to the list of items to be repaired

Very good home builder. Pay attention to details.

Great community environment to retire. Knowledgeable staff that helped us gain a delightful home buying experience. Construction has been on target with great opportunities for improvement in the quality of construction and materials used. For the value of the property and the house, some of the materials and fixtures should have been of higher quality. Minor issues with paint chips, lighting fixtures, faucet and ceiling fans start to show soon after we moved in.
