Pulte Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

House have lots of defects which have not been taken care of and we are still pursuing to get it corrected.

Once in home we began to see many quality issues that we didn’t notice during our final walk through. Pulte service is responsive to tickets, but if they had better subcontractors there wouldn’t be so many tickets.

Our home is beautiful but we would never buy a new home from Pulte again. The process was a year and half long. Lots of changes were made over that time frame. Quality of the build is moderate, definitely not what we expected. Joey our construction manager did his best to make sure things were done however he only had so much pull. The worst experience would be the design center. Making you pick out every detail of a 4000sq ft house on a 4 hour period is ridiculous. The designer was not helpful and pushed us through things way to fast. Details were left out on important things and now we are stuck. ... More

We rated this based on our experience with all aspects of Pulte and their subcontractors. If this survey pertains specifically to our construction manager, Joey, then the rating is high. If this survey pertains to vendor like SST, then the rating is 1-2.

Surround sound ceiling speakers were poorly installed. Front left speaker is out alignment. Also the grills are not flushed against the ceiling (6 to 8" towards the wall while others are 2 feet off the wall) Have not completed moved in yet so there may be other issues at some point

All in all this experience I was looking forward to share from start to finish with my family. It was great and although very stressful at times I do have to say that this is a quality home. However my finally walk through we outlined a few things of which never got closure too yet and hope that they do. For instance the cabinets, contractor tried to fix a door hinge with a sliver of wood and it is causing more damage, same contractor and fridge still doesn’t fit due to adjacent wall not plumb, I advised no more bandaids. No shower curtain rod for one bathroom. Fridge cabinet area off cannot fit fridge in. Bathroom area missing shower curtain Rod in one Kitchen cabinet hinge that was loose never fixed and has now come off, we cannot open in the event that it will cause further harm. Light switch in owners closet was marked for repair, have to press it hard for it to turn on. Bathroom door closer to road is still not closing right as it is rubbing Halo paint in bedrooms The outside wave trim in one long section is different than the entire home. As you can see, many items and we get that our construction mgr is busy. ... More

Home is wonderful there are a few things that could have been done better but overrall it’s great

Overall, everything has been a great experience but will say once they give you the keys you are going to wait a long time to get pending issues resolved.

Great over all experience so far. Some communication issues with things that need to be fixed but decent over all.

Most everything was great. But unfortunately, as we expected, as soon as we closed and were given the keys, most all of the items that our building supervisor promised would be fixed within a few days (i.e. cabinetry x4, carpet), were never fixed and we never heard from the building supervisor again. As a result, we're forced to go through the Pulte warranty department which takes weeks and months to have anything addressed.

Overall Construction is great .

Shannon our home counselor was wonderful. Field manager, Lloyd, did not respond to multiple requests to repairs items we discovered after moving in.

People, workmenship, communication is good. Quality wise; material like paint, finishing can be improved. Design center collections are very expennsive.

The sales experience was great. Initially, we enjoyed meeting with our design consultant but since we have moved in we realized she should have provided us more information. Specifically regarding our flooring options and choices since this was by far our biggest ticketed item . Our construction manager provided amazing communication throughout the entire process but once we did the walk thru and received our keys … all her cared about that we would give him a great survey score. We have things that day and a few days after and his communication was far less timely and didn’t seem too interested in helping. ... More

A number of small architectural design issues such as light switch locations, the non-use of 'dead space' in the Primary Bathroom, etc., add up to create some permanent disappointment. The lack of ability to address these issues during the construction process was highly frustrating. Perhaps the architectural design department should be staffed with people equipped with better real-world experience. The response time for repairing a major electrical issue was extremely disappointing and the discovery of the solution creates a high level of skepticism regarding similar lingering issues that have yet to surface. ...

Project manager has been responsive to all concerns at this time. Bryson has been good to work with. Continuously finding more and more issues/concerns (e.g. shower stoop drains to bathroom floor, stair rail spindles are already splitting). My concern is what will I continue to find.

For the most part, everything went well. The back and forth with finishing dates was stressful. And then when we finally closed there are many things in our home that were done sloppy and need to be fixed.

The home turned out pretty good. There are still issues that I am waiting for a response from Pulte to take care of.

The house was good overall. Hardware are not that great since they are install by third party. Door handles are super loose, cabinet paint has some flaws where part of the cabinet didn't have paint. Also kitchen island was installed out of line where it is not perpendicular with the house or the tile. Some of the soft close function feel off when some door has good resistance to closing force when other doesn't have any.

Still things we are wait To get fix

My overall experience with Pulte has been fair not great. I'll start with the positives then go into the negatives. The staff at Pulte Mortgage do a great job of staying on top of the home buying process. I've been in my new home a little over two months and it's starting to feel like home after living in hotels and an apartment for almost a year. They build a solid house but the overall workmanship toward the end was a rush job to get the house closed. John, my construction manager is the contact person for the company and he does an excellent job of trying to make the customer happy but he is only one person. The thing that leaves the biggest pit in my stomach is the kitchen upgrade. Right before closing; in fact days before closing I found out I would have mismatched appliances. Most women, the kitchen is their space. Although, I'm no Martha Stewart as far as cooking however I paid for an updated kitchen. This is a supply chain issue, however Pulte knew for months about this issue and didn't inform me. Having mismatched appliances in a kitchen may be cool for some else but not my style. It is equivalent to having different tires on a Lexus. You have tires but some thing doesn't look or feel the same. I would have been willing to purchase my own oven and microwave to have matching appliances. Just a thought for future purchasers. ... More

Last time I gave detail feedback, do you care?

The overall buying experience was good, where it falls short is on quality. So many little issues had to be reported after build Completion. Some of them taken care promptly but some not good response. I would expect the build quality and material to be of better quality. As a homeowner it is a hassle to be responsible to find these issues later and report then to get addressed.

Closing was stressful. Underwriter was still asking for documents the day before scheduled close. Lots of issues on the initial inspection that weren’t addressed. Still lots of issues to take care of on the 30 day inspection. Not great quality of workmanship. Lots of paint splatter from walls to ceiling

Overall, Pulte was fine. We are one of the first homes on our street, and the contractors and trades working on the other houses do not respect our property line, and play their radio (music) way too loud!
