Pulte Homes Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

Still waiting for repairs, master bathroom mirror, fan switch in the master and family room and very unhappy with the baseboards there a 1/2” to 1” gaps from the door frames throughout the home. Some areas they did correctly but for the most part it looks terrible

Do not let Pulte homes tell you that they have the right to dictate what lender you use in order to purchase a home from them! We paid we offered $86k over the minimum purchase price that they would accept with $500k cash prepayment and they told us that unless we agreed to use Pulte mortgage, they would rescind the acceptance of our offer and sell the house to another buyer. After closing, we met our new neighbors (who had been our competition) only to find out that we had offered far more than they had and that Pulte was so greedy that they also wanted to force us into a loan with terrible terms with their sibling company. As bad as our experience was with the purchase process, the silver lining was that we were getting a brand new home. When we closed we found out that despite Pulte Homes bragging about their high standards and their belief that they are superior to other builders…what Pulte really believes in, the standard that they really hold themselves and their subcontractors to is the “industry standard”. At the end of the day, we have been sorely disappointed with our purchase! Pulte builds beautiful model homes, but the homes they build when they’re not trying to sell you are like the burgers you actually get versus the ones in the commercials. My wife and I recommended that if you’re looking for a new home, look at Lennar Homes (#2) or DR Horton (#1 home builder in the US). I can’t say that they’re not just as bad, but I can tell you that Pulte Homes are not only liars, but they cut corners. Don’t make the same mistake that we did! ... More

if you are going buy a new home..look elsewhere

This unfortunately has been the worst home purchasing experience. From the beginning to the end. I have purchased several new build homes and by far this has been the worst experience. The one highlight was the project manager Armando. He made the walk-through enjoyable. When purchasing a new home, the experience should be memorable and exciting. This was the opposite. From the sales agent to the mortgage personnel. The worst service I've ever experience. I'm still having issues and concerns about the home and things not working properly and the response is so slow. If I had the opportunity to do this over, I would purchase from another builder. ...

We had the worst experience buying this house and this is our 3rd new construction home. 11 months to build a home.. We were not given regular updates on the construction process and the exact reason for the 3 month delay due to not having water and power to the community. Nobody could tell me the reason for the delay- just that they were waiting on Edison.. They gave us a closing date, we signed loan docs and they old us to change the utilities into our name then 4 days before closing said they were still waiting for Edison. Granted there was a fire in the area which I can understand set them back but for 3 months- no sorry and 2 of the months were before the fire.. The upgrade prices were outrageously priced and at time of the walk through the finishes in the shower were not correct. They did end up fixing during the 3 month delay. I reached out to management and of course no explanation. The home seems like it was just thrown together. A month and a half after closing Pulte still has not completed items they said they would at the time of the "Celebration" walk through. I would never buy a Pulte home or use Pulte Mortgage again. I had such high hopes for these companies. ... More

Worst experience I have ever had. Jason was horrible and blatantly lies on final walk-through items.

Among 3 homes i have i will rate this as worst builder

Over a year delayed. House is rushed, their quality is terrible. They try to make up excuses not to fix issues. Please avoid Pulte homes at all cost. This was my second new construction home and it’s an absolute nightmare compared to my other home.

Please do not buy from Pulte! We were delayed for months and their management is unresponsive and only had excuses for their mismanagement with the city. Quality of the home was horrible and took many attempts and request for them to fix anything. I still have things that still need to be fixed after a month of being in the house. Avoid this builder at all cost. Many other builders are out there that can provide better service and quality.

Delayed by 4 months and then rushed into my home that was less than satisfactory. Have had nothing but issues and it's been a headache trying to get ahold of anyone to get them resolved.

Not referring anyone to pulte or their financials

My entire experience was bad from day one, I had 2 conversations with my sales rep and never met her. Was told I would get updates from construction Manager as the home progressed through phases, never got an update, luckily I was smart enough to include a realtor in my transaction. The only progress reports I received was her picture messages through windows when she was in the area. Materials and craftsmanship of the home are of the lowest quality, not a single wall in my home is straight, windows are the lowest grade available, opening your curtains will change the temperature of home almost immediately. My exterior doors have such large gaps I can see the street when locked. They sell you on "Energy Efficiency" but do absolutely nothing the deliver on that promise, my home is so poorly insulated I hear foot steps from accross the street in my living room. They are cashing in on this ridiculous real-estate market and are selling their 400k home for 700k with absolutely no intention of improving the quality, my home is no way indicative of a home valued at almost 3 quarter of a million dollars. The stucco used on the exterior is already discolored and cracking my home was completed late November 2021. I am very disappointed with my purchase and at times feel taken advantage of, but the worst part is the lack of customer service and accountability. If you are going to build a low quality home and charge top dollar, your customer service better be stellar to make up for the short comings. In this case I don't know what's worse the poorly constructed home or the terrible customer service. ... More

Our experience with pulte mortgage was anything but pleasant. Our loan processor was always difficult to reach and constantly misplaced documents during the process. The last week of closing they were completely non existent and added much more stress to the process than was needed. Our loan processor would never reply back to our calls and emails.

Very bad experience buying my first house, there are already 4 repairs in less than 2 months, 2 water leaks, washing machine, and clogged drain, I want someone to contact me I no longer feel safe I want them to do a general inspection
