Pulte Homes Reviews in Tucson, AZ

Overall the home buyers process has been great. Pulte team has been great but the subcontractors have been horrible with responding and fixing issues especially the electrical team. I’ve been experiencing electrical problems since moving into my house and they still haven’t resolved the issues. Closed February 13th and it’s currently April 16th. Two months of not being able to fully enjoy our home.

Have a home inspector take a look and forward recommendations to the building superintendent. Compliments to Travis who has complied with all needed repairs. Substandard kitchen cabinets for homes in the $500K price range.

We did not receive the workmanship or quality we were promised and paid for. I am concerned that my home is not worth what we paid. This builder is non-responsive and everyone points to someone else as the reason they do not have time to finish things at my house and for the poor workmanship. We're still waiting for things we paid for but haven't received. We've received countless excuses and ignored completely when we've asked for a timeframe for things to be completed. They made us so many promises to get back to us but nothing has been done yet. I would not recommend this builder based on on the lack of customer service to get things completed, the quality of what we received and the fact that we have not received things we paid for. ...

Small imperfections here and there but over great quality.

I'd have liked to give 5 stars instead of 4 stars, but the inability to make changes to customize was an issue. No pocket door option, no custom-built closets, and having to buy packages of appliances with no individual appliance choices were issues for me. The home we built on the East Coast gave us these options. Our construction manager David was fabulous though.

The only absolute thing I would change is the paint. Why every builder wants to use the cheapest interior paint I have no idea but it’s already peeling in several areas less than 60 days in a new home. I’m sure they will take care of it but still so annoying.

They were great to work with!

Our construction manager James is a real trooper. He’s had to deal with supply chain and work force issues and has done very well. I will say though that the timeline of completion made it impossible for him to get the house up to the standard that we expected. While there are many minor issues like poor drywall, paint, hardware alignment, we still have items that are simply incomplete. No screen door, unpainted/finished items, fit and finish issues. I will say that James has made an effort though. He needs assistance from his management. The house functions without major issue at the time of writing this. Please provide your crews with additional support as they are working hard to meet impossible deadlines. ... More

My field manager helped me throughout the process. He was very responsive and met with me multiple times to address any concerns.

In general we've had a very good experience with Pulte, quality homes. Some details that need to be repair though.

Check all work for quality and workmanship. Slow response in getting any issues fixed.

Responded promptly to any questions, good quality materials, great designs

Structurally the house appears solid. Finishing workmanship is always an issue when building. Our project manager has been on top of our punch list items. Air conditioning air flow has been an ongoing issue and still needs attention. Is 1 unit enough for our size house? How should the duct work /vents be installed/adjusted for even temp throughout the house? Overall we are pleased.

We encountered a plumbing leak shortly after we moved in and the Field Manager got right after it to ensure the work was fixed quickly. the rest of the home is great. We love our new home.

The Sales experience was positive however we expect more flexibility The Construction Manager, Outstanding personalized Service, Lorenzo S. is genuine customer care professional. The Mortgage experience, we expect to have the most competitive % as we understand Pulte offer good deals but we finish with a local lender The Closing Experience, was pushy and not clear in communications specially with our calls (rude and hanging the phone to us ) . The signature process was fast and clear

Could do a better job with quality control.

Initially, we really loved the models only to find out that a lot of the items had been discontinued. Having then gone thru the designer process, it took 10 months to build and move in. We love our home and only have minor issues to deal with.

Home quality is very positive for some items like finishes and appliances, but these are offset by poor workmanship. There have been several issues with grout, drywall, paint running marks, trim damage, cracked glass, unfinished stucco, etc. Many issues will be resolved by the owner due to the small scale, but give the price of the home, expectations were much higher in the finished product. It is now clear that the price is entirely market driven and not an indicator of home quality which we have come to accept. Customer Service staff and the site manager have done all they can to help with the issues but they are excessive and the trades cannot be mobilized more than once during the warranty period unless there are safety issues (which have been escalated and are being prioritized for repair). ...

We loved working with each person assigned to us from the salesperson, and the supervisor(s) along the way. Extremely helpful during the process. Being our first new build, we've been a bit underwhelmed by the final product - poor paint job & drywall installation, messiness in cabinet installation, etc. Perhaps this is the norm for large tract home communities, but to us, the work in many areas has been mediocre, thus the 3 stars for quality. It's been an interesting and educational process, to say the least!

Bought home is a large gated community. It has natural preserve area but missing walking trail or play ground for kids. The upgrades were very expensive and had limited options.

Elected to use Pulte and it’s affiliates throughout the entire purchase process, a one stop shop approach requiring less action on our part. All individuals involved in the process were knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful. Quality of finished house I rate better than average as some areas of workmanship were less than desired. Overall satisfied with our home buying experience with Pulte and our new home.

There is a push to get you to make design decisions quickly (both interior & structural) so you do not have time to think about things. Wish we would have done different features. There are limited examples of the options available. We worked with our project manager 2000 miles removed from the project & he did scheduled walkthrus via Skype & it worked out great. He was a very good manager. sales office was responsive & quick to answer our questions. there is ABSOLUTELY NO FLEXIBILITY to do minor changes, such as not putting up a laundry shelf or bathroom mirrors. We had wanted a turnkey house to walk into, but instead we have many features to finish. Many options had excessive costs to them. ... More

Pulte homes come with average standard options. The model homes give a false impression of what a Pulte home actually looks like. There are many options to upgrade with prices that are very expensive. The home was built very quickly which was a benefit. However, there were numerous repairs that needed to be made due to poor quality work in some areas. The construction managers were responsive to correcting our concerns.

Construction manager was outstanding

Do not sign the final inspection report until all problems have been resolved. An employee promised to fix items at signing and when reminded, appeared to forget.
