Pulte Homes Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

I have heard great things about Pulte which was the reason why I felt comfortable in investing my hard earned money in purchasing. However, now that the purchase is closed trying to get service to my new property—to which I shouldn’t be experiencing some of the issues I am with lack of quality of materials, outlets not working and cracks in doors already is quite disheartening.

Overall Construction Quality is great. Quality of clean up of finish product is not good. The floor of my shower was stained with rust and heavy duty construction caulking that was not attended to and has been impossible to remove. Same kind of stain 6" x 2" on one of my wood flooring in a main area of my dining area. I was assured that it was no big deal and could be removed. I had electrical issues " tripping breakers" to my refrigerator that were repaired 10 days after moving in. I'm still having irrigation issues "leaking water and sink hole " that have been repaired once already still on going. Still waiting for other repair. It usually takes a week for anyone to respond to repair emails. ... More

This has been a horrible experience. We bought the house beginning of August, 2023. The cabinet had to be replaced because of manufacturing defect. They came and replaced it one month after the house is closed. Two months later they still haven’t put in a countertop and fix the plumbing. This was not disclosed before we closed. Terribl, just terrible

This experience of buying a brand new home has been nothing short of terrible, first of all you do the walk through of your new home and everything is looking good as can be expected but within the first week everything started breaking!! 1. Water Heater broke within the first week and the team had no sense of urgency, the company that came out to fix it weren't professionals, they were unorganized handy men at best, broke the vent and weren't neat. NP Mechanical 2. HVAC (Heater) broken didn't work and we have been here for a month now and it is still not fixed. NP Mechanical 3. ERV (Ventilation system) broken the entire system was replaced and broke again within the first day of repair, unprofessional and very poor customer service with lack of what it is they are actually working on. 4. Bulge in the wall (no contact on repair yet) 5. Backyard drainage only works for 50% of the yard 6. Electrical issues with front and backyard lights (repaired) With all that said our amazing home purchase turned into another job and having to deal with incentives customer service staff that doesn't care about the end consumer I wouldn't recommend Pulte Homes to anyone very poor materials used and looks like a rush job, not worth the 600k price tag stay away!!! ...

Daniel really stood out - very helpful, prompt, and effective in all issues so far.

The sales rep (JILL) was amazing throughout the entire process. Our closing day was stressful, hectic, and confusing due to lack of communication - (Jill was out of town - I’m sure it would have been better otherwise). Stacy is GREAT and very responsive, helping with any issues with the house - breaker reset, squeaky faucet, etc. very happy and in love with our home.

Our home buying experience was a very pleasant and timely one

My experience in living in properly sealed home is the comfort level in very high. waking up in the morning is not a big deal any more cause of the material of the carpet and flooring is high quality.

Everything about our house building and buying was nice; minor hiccups were identified and addressed thoroughly BUT the last minute interrogation by the underwriter was absolutely horrible. I have purchased many many homes and done countless refinances and I have NEVER experienced the level of harassment that Pulte put us through. We will never use Pulte mortgage again!

Got the house during highly competion time period. though the things need to take care or happend within short period of times, no issue or hassel during the process. got the keys on time.

Home was built and delivered promptly.

The quality of materials used is what drew me to the Pulte Homes at the beginning of my search for a new home. Pulte in comparison to the other builders, the Pulte Homes aren’t just cheaply put together. I also like that they offer the larger homes with large lots where you have space & privacy from your neighbors. The homes are strategically placed to give the homeowners the utmost privacy.

Besides the Certificate of Occupancy I feel communication between departments within Pulte would be a huge help. Different departments tend to go back to the buyer for information that could easily by discovered within the companies own network. Besides these issues we do love the home.

We really enjoy our new Pulte home! It's a good quality home. We wish it was easier working with the closing company but Pulte Homes build good solid homes with great floorpans and we are very happy with our house. WE LOVE IT!

This is a great home.

Overall after a sluggish start issues are being resolved and addressed.

Experience went smoothly overall. Delays happen and are very frustrating but Pulte has been responsive to us. We love our new home.

Everything from the no-pressure sales office to the amazing design center to the builder supervisor has been nothing short of amazing. This is the first time we ever bought a new build home and we are so excited to move in and make it our own. This has been a great experience.

The process was quick and on time. Pulte offered so much help and resources in terms of funding. The quality of work was impressive. I’m very happy with the whole process.

Our only gripe with Pulte was with the morning rtgage division. The building of our home has been amazing though. Even with the issues, they have been very responsive and quick to get them fixed.

I like everything good service

We love our home, we’re very happy with the layout and the house itself. However in the 6 weeks we’ve been here we’ve had to place three different work orders and take time off every time to get them resolved. Our air conditioning completely shut down and we were without for a day, our electrical needed to be required, and a shower head installed caused issues with the hot water. We are still waiting on a tree to be replaced that had died before we moved in. We are very happy with our home overall, but all of the issues we’ve had were due to things being rushed and careless errors.

Vanessa was awesome. I don’t think I would have gotten this home if it were for her persistence and patience. Thanks Vanessa!!!
