Pulte Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

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

Cheap material the warranty comes with the home is a joke no body cares after the closing contact the manger warranty and the agent department no body responds when they answer the phone they know what is going on they put the owner on hold I have an issue with the upstairs bedroom above the garage due to wrong installation the temperature is very low and the floor is vibrating when I open the garage door I have been saying and calling about that nobody cares neither response to my emails

Worst home buying experience ever.

The build quality is awful and the customer service is even worse.

The entire process with pulte was a really bad experience. From the day we walked in to the sales office to now living in the house for a month has been frustrating, stressful, annoying and regretful. I feel like I both have so much to say and nothing to say at the same time because it has absolutely drained my of my energy. Our sales associate was not nice or pleasant to deal with, ever. Pulte dropped the ball on starting construction of the home that delayed me over a month in closing (although addressed by some director in the sales department and concluded with buying down my rate- much appreciated) and continued to deflect blame for it almost all the entire year of construction. The trades did shoddy work. But perhaps the most frustrating now that were living in and own the problem that we paid an extra 15k for is the flooring. The design center consultant was clearly lacking an understanding of what she was promoting to us which in turn led to us now having an extremely fragile hardwod floor that is constantly chipping and scratching and has led to more fights in our family than anything weve ever dealt with. It seems we cant even walk on this floor without a chunk of the edge chipping off or a new scratch being found when we mop. I'm on my hands and knees trying to repair these so they dont create more problems or bigger breakage. Weve relegated the child to only playing with things in room with carpet and the dog now wears shoes every day that he tries to chew off every chance he gets. Both of these concerns were mentioned at design center and we were assured repeatedly that we were buying "an engineered hardwood- much more durable than standard hardwood that will hold up to a child and animals". That is proving to be the furthest thing from the truth. We were told we had to hurry and pick our upgrades so the order of materials could be made in a timely manner since lead times were so long. The day the floor was suppose to be installed I received a call that they didnt have the floor we picked and she wasnt sure how the ball got dropped but asked if we could do the same flooring but in different size planks. So I'm curious what the rush was in picking my floor instead of allowing me to do my due diligence in consulting with flooring experts before being assured this floor was durable and rushed in to picking options we severely regret now. I'm missing a chunk of stucco on the outside of my home where the fence return meets the house and i was told it's not a problem because stucco is just cosmetic. That's not true. It absolutely serves a bigger purpose. As if the styrofoam underneath will not ever degrade from the outside elements? Yeah right. The painters did such a shoddy job I asked them to not even come back and decided I will paint the trim myself. I look around the house and cant even believe how much money I spent on this house for what I got. I've spent the most money I've ever spent in my life on this house and i live in constant regret that I sold my last home to purchase this thing. I fantasize all the time about how driving 2 hours 1 way to work every day wouldve been worth it if I didn't have to deal with this headache of a house. ... More

This has been the most frustrating home buying experience ever. The mortgage people were not responsive and the day before we were to close we didn't know if we even had a mortgage. On the day we were supposed to get our keys we were told we weren't going to be able to move in because the gas wasn't installed. We still have many issues that need to be resolved. Too many to mention here. I've emailed the warranty company 2 weeks ago and still haven't received a response.

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.

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.

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!

We were forced to close before the property had all the final touches competed and it has been a mess trying to get the builder to hold their contractors accountable for the terrible work. The house still has not been completed.

Pulte homes is overpriced for the quality of materials they produce. From the faucets to the flooring it’s all very cheap. Downstairs was mixed with carpet and tile for the standard build they ran tile @ the front door (foyer)and then just laid one piece of carpet in front of the stairs and went back to tile for the kitchen and dining area and back to carpet again for the “living room” which isn’t a living room it looked horrible. The faucets are so cheap it’s unbelievable. The cabinets are super cheap. For the amount of money they ask they could @ least provide the buyers with better quality materials even @ the standard build level. Oh and when you go to the design center for “upgrades” if you take them up on their “upgrade offer”once you leave you’ll realize you could’ve bought a new house or a new car. The design center is a joke!!! The entire build is very cheap for the money they’re asking for their homes. They include a stove, microwave, & dishwasher after all the money you spend you mean to tell me you can’t include a refrigerator too? Everything is really cheap baseboards, cabinets, paint job, flooring, windows. The structure of the build overall is not strategically efficient. The master room is so tiny you’ll think it’s for a kid. The other bedrooms are basically closets. It’s a total rip off building with Pulte. Words can’t quite explain my dissatisfaction all I can say is look elsewhere for a better quality builder. The homes are not worth nearly a half a million trust me. Run the other way and at least see what you can find. Don’t stop here. AGAIN the way they structure the home is basically apartment style. There is NO real living room it’s so heartbreaking. The quality and the structure of the build layout is jaw dropping when you do your final walk through. Their prices are way too high for the quality and amount of space they provide for a full functioning family. Pulte chooses quantity over quality. I’m leaving something out but if you don’t take anything from this review take this note this. Your dollars will not stretch well building with Pulte. They purchase the cheapest materials as far as faucets, cabinets, baseboards EVERYTHING the sinks toilets they’re all HORRIBLE. I understand they’re in the business to make money but this is total greed. I also understand their design center sales pitch but my God even at the standard build level don’t provide the bare minimum quality materials it’s not fair to the buyer whose not “wealthy” people just want to buy a nice home for a half of a million in hopes to stay forever but honestly you can’t stay forever because your family will out grow the living space. There is no living room period and the bedrooms are for newborn babies. Pulte should be ashame for their asking price and then for the quality of work after their sky high asking price. They’re not quality builders please note that. You’ll be disappointed I guarantee. I’m very disappointed. I built nearly a half a million dollar home and my home feels like a cheap apartment. They’re no good with quality, structure layout, or size! Signed A Unsatisfied Customer ... More

By far the worst experience I’ve had with Pulte buying a brand new home, They over promised and under delivered on completion date, they can’t be trusted make sure to read the contract over and over again, they can change your material options after you signed the contract and there will be nothing you can do about it! They also don’t communicate with you so your always finding yourself reaching out to them.

We closed on our home at the end of June after almost 14 months of waiting. During our walk through several days prior to closing, all items that we could readily see that needed repair were noted and "blue taped". On the day of closing, we were given our keys and told that all of the items that had been listed were either done, or would be done as soon as possible. Those items noted at walk through, but not done were damaged kitchen cabinets, including doors that were on order because they had a whole in the front of them, chipped cultured marble bathroom countertop, an outdoor light fixture not attached to the house and a cracked driveway. When we contacted Pulte Customer Care, we were told to submit a list of problems via email. We received a standard "auto" reply that they were busy and our issues would be addressed as soon as possible. We received no communication from Pulte Customer Care, so after 30 more days, we contacted them and were told that Pulte no longer did repairs at 30 days, it was now a 1 year wait. So much for Pulte "Customer Care". ... More

Terrible experience from beginning to end. “FIELD MANAGER II” made use sign off that the home was done and was still missing many items pointed out and said he’d be back to finish them later pending a positive online review and once given the review we never heard from him again nor will he respond to phone calls or texts. We literally paid for things that are not installed and the items that were installed were done poorly. Missing grout, paint, doors won’t open or close properly. The outside paint is terrible and doesn’t even cover some of the chicken wire. We can’t get help from anyone and our sales rep was also worthless ... More

I was very disappointed with the way the house was turned over to me after closing dozens of things were not repaired or fixed and the house was in disarray unacceptable for a higher and builder.

This is my third Pulte Home and I the first I was able to choose my options and upgrades on so I thought it would be fun and exciting. Out first Pulte was a quality build and one previous buyers didn’t qualify for so we got a great bargain. The second was a no frills spec home and had a few issues, but Pulte took care of them. This home, the last Pulte I will ever buy, was a nightmare. The quality of materials and workmanship Is horrible and most issues were concealed by each next phase of construction rather than corrected. The trades never cleaned up, leaving rotting food and wrappers and even beer bottles on site daily. Pulte management admits to being held hostage by the trades and said if they complain about the work, the crews just won’t show up. The home was delivered 4 months late and filthy. After 2 days of cleaning, we replaced broken trim, fixed the texture and caulking issues and repainted with quality paint then moved in 13 months after signing our purchase agreement. The only pleasant part of buying this home was the Design Center. Gina was very knowledgeable and helpful and the options were plentiful. ... More

Construction managers are in trustworthy and the warranty department denies everything. No help. We have a half a million in an investment and was sold a Home that was incomplete with no working heater. Granite cracks and damaged shower and cabinets in the kitchen. We need someone who cares to make this right.

Inappropriate content because it's the truth this overall experience with our new Pulte house being built sucked if that's inappropriate content and take it as you will like I said you got your money that's why we won't expect a email in responseWhy don't you blame it on Covid like everybody else that's what everybody seems like they're doing with the crap that happened with this pulte house

There is no supervision on the job site and the superintendent lies to you and says no its ok that is the way Pulte does there work! Then when the blue tape walk though comes around simple things like doors closing correctly don't then you wait 14 days for someone to come and fix them. the bath tub is so scratched up the worker said he cant do any more> Iam waiting another 14 days for someone to tell me the something I cant take out the scratches

Electrical, plumbing, and flooring issues were supposed to be fixed prior to closing on our home. We were assured everything was completed and ready for us to move in. We are having major electrical problems and plumbing issues since we moved in and they have not been addressed yet. We also have structural issues that have not been addressed. Garage company has yet to fix our garage doors. We closed in the beginning of January and as of March 3rd, nothing has been fixed. We have tried to reach out to our Field Manager and no response. The windows do not open and shut correctly. The home buying process was horrible and Pulte deceived us from the design center and mortgage company. ... More

We purchased our home in April which was supposed to be ready November-January. We we informed in July we would close in September. We did our walk through and noticed several things which we noted and were supposed to be fixed before closing. . We closed and moved in a week later. The house was left a mess. (we were told construction clean) Cabinets were chipped and covered with paint, the workers left chicken bones, nails, bottles and so much debris in our yard and front of house. We have already had a nail in our tire. Our floors which we upgraded were covered with grout which is not even the right color throughout the house and is stained, our windows were covered with dust as well as our screens. Our garage door was damaged, (reported this in August to Pulte), paint was all over tiles, sprayed over insulation that fell onto the baseboard and stuck, and multiple drip stains all over walls, a/c not working properly, thermostats not properly calibrated, (a/c company out 3 times., our lights flicker all the time, rugs have stains, glue and holes in them. We have multiple cracks in the outside of the house and a few areas of the outside with chunks missing off the house. We have had 2 days of different companies out to fix things and they just do the minimum. We paid for a new home and many things in the home like cabinets have been touched up. We have damaged cabinets, damaged floors (tile and carpet) and damaged walls and paint. We have talked to our sales rep, construction supervisor and manager and they just say oh yes I understand. I don't think so because we did not get a new home, we got a rushed botched home with many damaged things and nobody cares, everyone we talk to passes it on to someone new. We are treated awful because we want our home fixed. ... More
