Pulte Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Had much difficulty getting any response from people. The workmanship was sub par, and from the mouth of the construction supervisor "Pulte will only do a much as the minimum required". I was not impressed.

They do not respond to issues with the home . A lot of promises not kept. Communication is poor. I would advise to look for another home builder.

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

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.

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

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 quality of our new home is sub-par. After moving in we noticed that 2 walls in the middle of our home aren't even close to straight. They're slated to be repaired but being that were occupying the home now it will be a big inconvenience. Our A/C unit wasn't wired correctly and shorted out leaving us without air while 100+ outside and by the time it was repaired it was almost 90 in our home. Considering we just lost our home in a fire the potential to have another fire was concerning. When we moved in we discovered that the water valves in both bathrooms were installed backwards and we didn't have hot water for 3 days. There seem to be little attention to detail. The home wasn't even cleaned when we took possession. There was even nails and debris left in our backyard. We would not purchase another Pulte home. ... 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

Our experience with Pulte was awful if we would’ve known how bad of an experience we were going to have we would’ve definitely gone with a different builder. When we received the keys the house still needed many repairs most of which were addressed in the walkthrough and were told they would be fixed prior to closing. It has been a month since we moved in and we still haven’t been able to get anyone to come work on the repairs. It was definitely not move in ready.

Pulte wont help you in what ever situation you are. All they need is to complete with in the dead line unnecessary of what situation the homeowner is in. They make mistakes and you have to pay for it . In my case in they screwed up with the AC and they want me to pay for it.

We tried to bail out at closing but was talked into it by the Pulte MORG people They were great. Jenny has been 0 helpful we are on our third iteration of drying to get our walls even remotely able to live in. She has zero followup and we are made to fill like we are just a pain. She has asked us not to fill this out this questionnaire because she is bonused on this but after on 1 month inspection and her not following up to see our thought on the two days of labor. Hightlights After we had problems with closing we were told that Will was going to reach out to us and be involved. I got one quick visit nothing else. Jenny will come out as long as it is on her time! She gave us very little instruction on the house. She never ordered the Bar Fridge door not the Microwave door after agreeing to they were flawed. We have had to take off 3 days for work to be done and that work has a ton of flaws. We have asked for paint and still have only received the exterior. I could go on and on! We have felt insignificant at the very least and more excuses the Doan's has pills. We fill we will have 100% repercussions for this bad survey. With that being said I am not sure if that can be worse that we actually have had done to us. Social Media is where we go from here! ... More

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.

Very disappointed. Apparently, there are no true craftsmen working for Pulte only the cheapest laborers. There are too many issues to mention them all. The finish on the walls looks terrible. There are runs, clumps, and drips everywhere. There were several places that were marked for repair by our construction manager that the workers ignored. The bathtub and shower were left outside for months and filled with garbage and bags of grout. The shower and tub are scratched, scuffed, and stained. There was a globe on one of the bathroom light fixtures that was very obviously broken. I can only assume that they thought the lightbulb wouldn't need changed until our year warranty was up because there is no way they didn't know it was broken when it was hung. One of the kitchen cabinet doors was broken, all were very cheap looking. Several of the closet doors do not open properly. I could go on and on. The neighborhood is the only thing that makes buying this home worthwhile. We spent our life saving on this home and don't feel it is worth even a third of what we paid. We had to repaint the entire interior and change out the bathroom fixtures. Everything just looked cheap and junky. Also, HATE the fact that we had to have the giant 1970's mirrors in the bathrooms. They make the home look very dated. I asked that we not have the mirrors in the bathroom but was told that was not an option. The mirrors are glued to the walls and the walls behind them are not finished so we can't even remove them ourselves without paying a ton more money to have the wall fixed. I cannot even express just how disappointed we are and how much money we have had to spend, on top of the extremely high price we paid for the home, just to make the house livable. Would not recommend. ... More

Myself went through three different site managers in a nine month. Period there was no accountability of the work being done on my house. There was no quality control. There is still being worked on my house. Two months after I had moved in and constantly trades not showing up, who are scheduled to show up.

I find my self very saddened to even have to write this, however this build is one of three for my family and by far the worse experience I’ve had with Pulte Builders. First it 14 months to build and close but that’s a story for a later date that I’m willing to share when or if asked. Now that we’ve been in the home for two months which we can’t use the bathtub, the window blinds don’t operate properly, closet doors slam when used, the floors won’t come clean no matter what, they continue to look very strange. A eight foot office door will not latch. The list continues. My main concern is the employee at the warranty center are very rude and work against us the homeowner. In the past I had no problem giving Pulte very high marks as a builder however that has changed. I just don’t understand how or why the service after the sale has failed. At this very difficult time I wrap my head around what’s happened to a company like Pulte. ... More

There are so many issues with the home. Finishing is bad. Paint issue in so many places. Field manager rushed us to give him good rating at first but now we regret it. Cracked walls, cracks and damages in the floor and in so many places. It feels like Pulte just want to sell their home and don't care about the home quality. We are having very bad experience. We should have gone with lennar or taylor Morrison. Would not recommend pulty to anyone.

The house looks great but the built quality was really disappointing. It’s been almost three months and every week something is discovered broken, damage or not done properly. Whenever I get work crew scheduled they don’t bring the right tools because they weren’t told of the issues correctly which leads to several rescheduling. Carpets constantly comes apart all over the house, certain light fixtures don’t work at all. I can go on and on about issues I have been having after purchasing this new build. I feel like my experience defeats the purpose of buying a new house and this is not my first brand new home purchase but my first bad experience. ... More

DO NOT close on house until ALL issues are taken care of, Once you are in, good luck getting anything fixed. The appointments that are made, NO body shows up. I guess we'll see pretty soon how the " Warranty" side picks up after 30 days. Their Web site where you go to put problems wouldn't take our pictures.Buyer beware

While out site super is working to fix issues it has been an extremely slow, painful, and stressful process. It took 3 visits for our home to even get the correct attic insulation level. Tile work was absolutely terrible throughout and we requested a new crew from the get go but now a third visit is scheduled finally with a new crew to completely rip out and replace the entire wet bar backsplash. Our floors are one giant tripping hazard, and we requested this to be addressed at each stage, now we have had 3 areas “fixed” but now Pulte is paying for an ANSI “expert consultant” to come out and give a plan for addressing flooring issue. It would have cost everyone, but especially Pulte, less money, stress and man hours to just do the right thing and replace the floors from the beginning. It took 3 weeks to install our floors and due to our front door being knocked off of its hinges during that time trades came and went and whoever else walked on incomplete flooring, and more than likely shifted tiles that were not entirely set yet. At no time was our front door fixed or replaced, so for 2 months of during the final phases our home it sat exposed to the elements and whoever decided to walk through. We still don’t have half of our closing walk through items complete. Even simple items like pushing recessed light back in to the ceiling so it’s not hanging down and out of the ceiling. Overall there was a serious lack of oversight on our home and that sentiment is shared and echoed throughout our entire small neighborhood. We understand COVID has put a strain on the industry, but that doesn’t release Pulte from their responsibilities. Pulte and their reps are the end of the line for all items and does have recourse options available to ensure quality work that covers more than the absolute bare minimum. I also understand that our home price was raised to meet market value, but that should also mean that the quality of work should rise to meet that price point as well, we have had much lower price point homes with far more attention to detail and extremely higher quality control even at times of a shaken market. With our current experience I would never recommend Pulte to a family member or friend and as this will not be our last home, I am very hesitant to ever consider another Pulte neighborhood in the future. ...

Whatever you do, get a home inspection.

Am absolutely ashamed of the workmanship and quality control over my community by Jenny. The house had an abundance of issues at my final walk through that she said would be fixed by the time we closed. When closing came around they had still not been done, so I have her another week to have them done by the time we moved it and it still had not. I am incredibly disappointed with PULTE. I had paint stains all over my garage and they had told me there was nothing they could do about it, I am still finding paint all over my tile. The quality control is absolutely terrible and and our field manager the rudest. After reaching out to Pulte multiple times and attempting to reach corporate I finally got someone who was competent. We have finally got our original walk through stuff finished but now I lost my 30 day walk through and now have to deal with customer care from this point forward. ... More

We were so excited to move into our new home, but all we’ve been doing is filling out work orders to have everything fixed. We are very disappointed.

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.
