Pulte Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Be prepared for the fact that your home will be nowhere near done when they say it will be. Be sure the house is complete before funding or you will have a fight to get it fixed.

My wife and I purchased 3 home from Pulte. The first was very well done so we bought two more. With each new purchase the quality, concern, customer service and follow up repairs increasing got worse. We are very disappointed!

I had a horrible experience with both Victoria in the sales office as well as Monica at Pulte mortgage. Victoria was rude and unhelpful and frequently used terms like “breach of contract” as a bully tactic. Monica at Pulte mortgage was often confused and had conflicting information, often calling me when she was trying to call another customer. Even at closing, she incorrectly told me my closing was on hold even though it had been given the clear to close because she had the wrong information. The house is beautiful but the experience with purchasing it was awful and I would not recommend it to anyone. ... More

They deleted my original review because I used a fitting expletive to accurately describe this company, and I’m not going to retype it. The short version is that dishonest, scumbag practice pervaded the entire experience of purchasing from Pulte, and there are plenty of better builders to get a house from. Pulte’s people will outright lie to your face about costs and fees, so you’re blinded sided with thousands of dollars in surprise fees two days before the close date, when you can’t back out without losing the earnest payment. This company simply cannot be trusted.

My salesman Josh and construction manager were very helpful. My loan rep Justice was a poor communicator and hard to contact. After closing on property my warranty person Brock Has been slow or unable to resolve issues. Luckily I took pictures of defects the day I received my keys. Pulte in the past has been a builder I’m proud to recommend. Also Pulte was working with Shasta pool so construction would go smooth but that failed also

I wouldn't recommend Pulte unless you have an attorney on retainer that can essentially hold your hand through the entire process. From sales to walk through, to follow up issues post sale they were terrible. The folks who helped sign were great including Teri who set herself apart from the rest of the company.

The attention to detail and workmanship left a lot to be desired for the price. I also have to constantly hound our field manager to get things fixed. And almost 2 months later I still have items from the pre-closing walkthrough that weren’t completed. They flooded the house while testing the water a few days before closing. If I could do it over again I probably wouldn’t buy with Pulte.

Our construction manager Mike wasn’t very communicative throughout the process on giving us updates to the build. We drove by the lot daily to check up on progress ourselves. Many items on our final walk through were left unfinished, there’s a stain on the new carpet in one of the bedrooms that has been there since before closing. Our windows don’t latch properly and I still have not heard back from Mike when the tradesmen is scheduled to come by. This is a safety issue, overall not very satisfied with the customer service. I’ve heard from other homeowners in the community that they had a 30 day walk through. We’re past 30 days and we haven’t received any correspondence regarding said walk through. All I really want is a finished home that’s on par with the model homes standard ... More

The only place that felt they were helpful was in Title!

Govany is the worst super you could get. unresponsive, no accountability and constantly blaming others for his short comings. We have to replace the our entire floor, garage floor, repair cabinets, countertops, windows, carpet, and shower glass still 2 moths after closing. all items we brought up well in advance of closing and initial walkthrough. Dont walk . . . RUN! away from pulte. Others in our community are having the same issues.

When I mentioned the issues to the field manager Cameron before closing, nothing was fixed, and it was clear that there was no effort to help

Our experience with this builder was deeply disappointing and far from what you’d expect when investing over $1 million in a new home. From construction quality to customer service and even the finance department, the process was riddled with issues and unmet expectations. The quality of workmanship and materials used was well below standard. There were multiple unfinished and sloppy details throughout the home: stair railings weren’t properly sanded or painted, several windows were installed with deep scratches, and the trim and baseboards had poorly done paint jobs—many areas chipped within weeks. These aren’t small details; they speak to a lack of care and quality control. When mistakes happened during construction, the builder routinely chose the cheapest, least effective fix rather than doing things right. For example, a large hole was put in the bottom corner of our bathroom door, and instead of replacing it, they patched it—on a brand new home. At this price point, that’s unacceptable. The lack of trustworthiness among certain trades and the absence of accountability only added to our frustration. To make matters worse, the finance department was completely unorganized. Just one day before our scheduled closing, we were told not to come because they were missing critical documents—something they should have known well in advance. This pushed our closing back over two weeks, forcing us to live out of boxes with two small children and no clear answers. Despite repeated calls and emails for updates, we were met with silence. No communication, no ownership, just stress. All in all, this was not the homebuying experience we expected or deserved. For the price we paid, we anticipated quality materials, professional service, and a builder that stands behind their work. Unfortunately, we received none of those things. ... More

Practically every wall in the home is crooked and/or out of plumb, the tile floor we paid nearly $30k to “upgrade” is laid so poorly that it has to be completely torn out and redone, the framing is so out of square in the garage that the garage door hangs off the slab by inches, windows damaged, paint drips and overspray everywhere, garage insulation and office sound deadening options we paid nearly $10k extra for simply weren’t installed, the cabinets are damaged and misaligned, windows are damaged, door trim is beat up and damaged, lights installed a foot off-center in the bathroom, the list goes on and on and on. Not to mention the sales staff giving us completely wrong information regarding the location of utilities that cost us several thousand dollars in wasted options. The lot we paid a $200k premium for has the water meter stuck in the side yard where the utility gate is that was never disclosed, wasting a good portion of the usability of the lot. An absolute trash builder that everyone should run away from. Oh, not to mention you can’t even get your survey right. We’re in Estate not “Skylin” (aka Skyline). ... More

i would prefer Taylor morrison or Aston woods. would not buy pulte homes in future anymore.

I would not recommend Pulte or Pulte Finance. Everyone was on vacation and they didn’t close the deal on time like promised. They were too busy on vacation and they wasted a lot of my time.

TO Make the biggest mistake of your life. BUY a Pulte home.

1) The quality of the work is really worst The garage floor is full of cracks while handing over The back yard is having only uneven stones which renders the backyard to unusable until we spend more money on it. The counter top was provided without polishing The quality of the carpet work was worst and there are of places where the carpet is not even covered over the concrete floor There are cracks on the floor in front of the garage and the construction manager is simply ignoring them when raised to fix it.

If you don’t mind being just another number Instead of a human being use Pulte. They could care less. Loan processing is a joke. They could care less about you as a person in one of the biggest purchases in life they take all the joy out of it. Literally got to the point I didn’t care if I got a “Pulte” home or not. Worst experience I e ever had buying a home.

Did not get a good experience

No any good park only one park near to my house builder didn’t spend any good amount on park I do not like at all I miss Taylor Morrison community home I moved from no view nothing if you wanna live under roof then it’s fine that’s all I can say sorry for this review

Pulte homebuilder made my life miserable during this transaction, put me and my wife through the WORSE experience EVER even having her in tears. Consumers need know their options, and are educated in Pulte's business and their tactics. Get an inspection during the home build process and final walkthrough! Pulte Home builder colludes with Pulte Mortgage to approve buyers not on whether you are qualified or not, but based strictly off a financial gain or loss. I am a very qualified buyer, my file confirms this point how they operate. Reminder, it's a non refundable earnest money deposit! Do your research and always have back up lender in place during the transaction so you don't lose your house, earnest money or incentives they will not honor to their benefit. DO NOT recommend doing business with them! ... More

Within 60 days of moving in we had a kitchen cabinet fall apart. Opened a claim to have it repaired. Here we are 60 days later and no one has been out to fix the cabinet. Only emails and no show for the schedule repairs to be done. Dont purchase from PULTE HOMES.

If i knew i could help you improve i would spend the time. You have several issues and i am not 100% satisfied. You seem to promote your way to get a good review with simple one way form not allowing negatives. Your process is fast tracked poor quality allowing sub contractors to cut corners. Minimal supervision. No quality standards as the sub sets that in the field. Poor to no reprrsentation by city inspectors helps you get away with even more issues.just checks the box and doesnt get out of truck. You are likley held hostage by your subs ..only as good as your subs. Your products need updating. Areas needing attention.: Ac noises and wrong application Landscape poor..been using same co too long Price gouging, you can make a.profit but why take advantage. Exterior sidewalks and driveway damages not repaired or cleaned. Not finish trim in walk in closets. Need comfort height toilets. Come on..the tub surrounds are embarrissing. You build in az ..excessive hard water 32 grains or more hardness. You need to provide water softeners as a house feature not an add. This to me is as important as a post tension slab basic. Using cheapest Sherwin williams flat paint. Baseboards too small scale . Floorin height takes away 1/3 of base height. Use 4 in Base height minimum. Exterior paint is 1 coat flat. In az climate . Framing at soffits and tie in with stucco leave huge gaps for pests. Yoi loose the tight house at the soffit transition. No one checks the tile installers . Hollow tiles. Improper thinset Just a blow n go fast install skipping quality. Wall insulation is poor for sound deadening. Cheapest cellulous fill. Attick insulatio. Should be 12 inch and its only 4-5. Superintendent has no support to make changes. I purchased a spec home and this is what i saw Pulte could be a leader but takes the cheap easy way cookie cutter dont ask questions or make changes approach. Make the margins skip the quality business model.. Wes and john did good job. ... More

This entire experience has been horrible and I wish I never purchased my home from Pulte. Not only was there delay after delay, The sales person was disappointing, I went through three construction managers and I am fighting to get items fixed. I’m passed from person to person, don’t get correct information, trades don’t show, the wrong trades come, and documentation is not submitted correctly. I do have a very complicated schedule as I travel and the one positive has been that if I had to travel and trades were scheduled, they did reschedule quickly. Pulte Mortgage was great during the process. ... More

I can't stress enough, do not buy from pulte!! Even if you have given them a deposit, let them keep it and run!!! You can never say I didn't warn you! All the bad reviews are 100 percent true!
