Pulte Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

trying to get things fixed is a major problem no one really care except nick. i would like a big boss to call me. have left messages at corp no one has called baxk.

We have been in the house for over a month now. We had a list of issues from our walk through that weren’t fix before we moved in and additional issues we have found since moving in. There were covers left off of electrical outlets, broken freezer shelf, leaking shower in the master, and vent hood in the kitchen that was installed wrong. These are big issues , not just paint touch ups and we still have had no word on when any of it will be fixed. It appears your goal is to wait long enough for people to forget about things or end up doing the repairs themselves. It’s very disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend pulte to anyone. ... More

The one year process was very long due but I understood due to inflation. However we got our keys and the foremen guys Tracey and the trainer were pushing us to sign that they took care of things that weren't complete. Tracey brought me the wrong keys to my home, I did not feel comfortable I was scared ppl still had access to my home. I move in and since walk through I felt it was extremely hot downstairs but Tracey and the trainer said "oh it's fine blah blah blah" and turned out the day we move in I noticed the air was definitely not working downstairs. How do "experienced men" not know if an a/c is working on not when I know nothing about construction and know when something is obviously not working. They made me sign the documents with lots of half butt things done. Broken cabinets, disgusting tiles, broken vent fan in the bathroom, cracked ceiling, all my doors are all ruined due to these careless workers painting the doors and closing them now the paint is falling off and it made my doors look all ugly. It is embarrassing to show my home to friends and family with a bad job done. Now let's talk about the person we have to go to about reporting things, she is calling me crazy and making me feel like I am crazy when we waited a whole year for this home and above all We paid thousands of dollars for a home that is supposed to be"new". ...

After my family and I moved into our home, we noticed a long list of issues including a huge leak on the left side of our house that still has not be repaired. We have sent emails and called our project manager as requested and have not have the issues resolved.

Pulte offered an amazing home design that was extremely functional for our family. Throughout the process we were told how Pulte goes above and beyond industry standards to ensure a high quality home is delivered. However, that was not the case. The building process with Pulte was awful. While our Field Manager was great, the quality of workmanship across was sub-par. We moved into our home with a long list of repairs still outstanding. As we move forward after the 1 month follow up, we find ourselves finding more things that need to reworked then before. Pulte is more set on getting these homes off their books then an delivering quality homes to their customers. I was apprehensive to build with Pulte to begin with, and I can say I will never consider building with them again. ... More

Seems like you need to upgrade everything or you get cheap materials. All can lights in house flicker. Electrician saud it is the lowest quality bulbs. Nothing they can do. Just one example. They red tape stuff during walk thru but, seems later just remove tape and say it got fixed.

If you buy a home from pulte make sure you get the ALL the punch list items on the list. The project manager said yes to numerous things as we walked through and blue taped and said he would take care of it... but only did the items we wrote down. When I got the key to the house here was still about 10 blue taped tags on the wall and items. He must of barely walked through the house. He would make a great used care salesman. Now those damaged item Pulte will not address because it was not on the walk through list. I sent 42 item list with photos within 3 weeks after moving in and now I have to replace these items on a brand new house.. But I guess that's all you get when you spend 3/4 of a million dollars these day. Pulte is a number game and the customer is only a number. The contractors they use are total pigs. I watched the house go from ground level up and the amount of trash they leave laying around shows the level of workmanship your getting. ... More

Things that were talked about at walk through have not been fixed. Field Manager is unresponsive or promises that someone will be out to fix it but never comes. I have contacted the national office who told me the local office needed to take care of it and I was just circled back to the same Field Manager. Terrible, no non-existent customer care.

Jon the builder told us if we have any issues to call him directly. Everytime we get a survey we miraculously hear from him. We had a variety of issues the first 3 days and not only did he not return our phone calls but he referred us to the customer service line and they told us he needs to fix the plumbing and contact him. My wife is 7 months pregnant and imagine our surprise when we couldn't shower or use the bathroom because the plumbing wasn't working and there wasn't any hot water. He had explicitly told us to contact him directly and we were ignored. We had previously purchased a brand new KB home and never had any of these issues for the 3 years we lived there. Makes us think not only was this house not built correctly, but it also wasn't inspected properly. We keep hearing the covid-19 excuse but what does that have to do with a properly built home. I would never ever recommend Pulte to anyone. ... More

So many times people in & out to repair your house. Many problems in your house: from water to electric, to the walls (bend), bathrooms leak!! Water outside and talking with presentative who do not responds .. just by pass your requests.

Things are great until you get the keys, then you start finding issues which will take them forever to resolve. Maake sure to resolve all issues BEFORE you take possession. You have been warned.

We were told 8-10 months build time. It took 12 months. The workmanship on the house is subpar! We have sent emails to Pulte warranty department for two separate water leak issues days ago, and we have yet to hear back from them. We would not buy another Pulte home!

Poor sub standard quality of work. Very poor service. Pulte lost its credibility by charging massively for a piece of cardboard house. There are nails comming from all over the carpet area. Walls are so week that a 3 year old can break it. Try to drill a nail on the wall it keeps going In and drops inside. Ceiling lights are not alligned all the lights looks like it's an abstract art. And even after raising the concern no response. PULTE IS NOT TRUST WORTHY AND NOT APPROACHABLE. AND CHARGES YOU TRIPLE FOR POOR QUALITY HOMES.

This process of this new house build took way too long! Twice the time! No communication from the sells representative after we signed on the dotted line, wasn’t honest or straightforward with timelines or delays we heard nothing.

This was our first new build. We were thrilled with what Pulte offered and promised. Throughout the building process we experienced a lot of headaches which were caused by lack of communication and under delivered expectations. Maybe it was the lack of supply and/or skill labor, but the communication definitely could have been better to eliminate misunderstandings. As home buyers we trust the professionals’ input and communication to help us understand what’s next. Through this experience we felt confused and desperate to figure it out. It’s unfortunate that we had this experience because Pulte was highly recommended to us. We definitely had too many negatives. Overall, we can not recommend anyone to go through the same process as we did. ... More

The mortgage loan processing was a nightmare! I will highly recommend people think twice before using the Pulte Mortgage Loan financing.

The preaproval was amazingly fast. It made me feel confident that when the time would come to finalize, it would be equally fast. It was not. I couldn't believe the amount of hoops I had to jump though to get this home. I wish I had been warned to spray pesticides to kill off all the bugs that made my home theirs throughout the build process. We had to forego the radiant barrier with no replacement option. Pulte homes was supposed to be energy efficient and now summers will feel a bit more uncomfortable. The tile job quality of the 9k shower isn't up to par. It's uneven. The recessed lighting in kitchen is patchy work and not symmetrical. Tile grout was splattered at the base of the kitchen cabinets. Tub/shower was cracked making it unusable. There are a couple other things I could nitpick at, but I'll leave it at this. ... More

Site manager didn’t provide any photos of the house during the build process. Was “extra” helpful when we signed for the house because of a survey. Gave him a bad survey, so he quit taking our calls, emails, and text messages. If it wasn’t for the site manager, I would rate Pulte much, much higher!

Worst home buying experience. The quality of workmanship was terrible. When issues were brought to their attention, they tried to fix them, but ultimately it just made them worse. They only care about building the home quickly and don’t really care about the finishes and it looking nice. Once we closed, dealing with service requests is a joke too. Everyone seems to just pass the buck and are really not interested in helping the home buyer. Very disappointed and frustrated buyers.

Too many delays. Bad trades and poor workmanship. Too unresponsive and slow in getting issues fixed after move in that should have been taken care of BEFORE move in.

Once they built the house, they dont even care to fix the issues reported during walk-in. They say they will fix it but they never do. Ask them to fix all issues before paying anything to them.

I have an issue with your responsiveness to issues. We have put multiple requests online to have someone come look at our garage door opener and not heard back. Nobody has called or returned emails. It’s poor form on your end and really is frustrating on a brand new home that we can’t even get a hold of someone.

A 2mil house should not have as many issues when going through the walk through. Everything from the walls, inside and outside of the house, requiring patch work, poor installation of cabinets, spotty paint job, dirty walls and carpets, etc.

Do not think that they care about you, because they don’t. From the beginning rude salesmen, craftsmen ship is shoddy. The only person that did a good job was a guy name Wes and his Boss. Buying a Pulte home wasn’t fun, and I already have my home up for sale.

Dealing with Pulte was one of the worst experiences of my life. We were so excited to get to build our "dream home" and pick everything from ground up. The beginning was fun and easy to deal with. As time went on that's where the undercutting began and Pulte essentially made any and all decisions based on their profitability. The only positive experience we had was with Art our construction manager who was amazing to deal with. He kept us in the loop at all times and was extremely easy to reach and deal with. We had issues from appliances on back order to our appraisal not being what the cost of the house was. When trying to deal with Pulte with any of these issues, the manager Andrea had clearly dealt with it before and had absolutely no empathy for people who were building their dream home and what they were going through when running into these issues. Her statement that really got me was that our upgrades were excessive. We didn't even upgrade the counters or floors with them due to the cost, also the base price of the house supposedly went up $60k in the purchase agreement to build time time frame so exactly how was it excessive especially when we had that extra "cushion." We originally had chosen Pulte because they had a reputation of being high quality. Art made sure that our home was given to us in immaculate condition and everything little thing we noticed, he had already noticed and was addressing prior to meeting with us. The appliances being on back order was obviously out of Pultes control but the options they gave homeowners prior to us were actually comparable replacements, ours was an absolute joke, there is no way anyone would consider that comparable and again there was no flexibility. We were told if we didn't sign the change order, the countertop microwave would still be installed in the hole of the cabinet regardless and we would lose the $125 credit we would receive. Despite everything we went through we are truly happy with our home and we have yet to have any issues regarding workmanship. ... More
