Pulte Homes Reviews in Jacksonville St. Augustine, FL

Cheryl, our sales rep., was delightful and willing to help us all throughout our construction. Our design team experience was awesome as well. Wish we had more time there. Our first construction manager was nice, but not effective and many thing were not caught and corrected. Our 2nd construction manager, Keven, was good, but under a lot of stress correcting the mistaKevin, the first guy, and catching up on our construction. The completion of our home was delayed and often sat for weeks without anything being done. That is where our dissatisfaction lies. We are trusting David to follow through and complete our list of shortcomings and error since our close. We have a beautiful home that I love and hope to enjoy for many years. ... More

The three Pulte Members I had the most interaction with were Tyler.B , Jennifer D, and Dalton R. I would give all three of these team members 5 stars. Especially Tyler. Really all three of them were excellent. The underwriting team was sometimes difficult and presented a challenge, and the site could have been more secure after the house equipment was dropped off (ex. leaving unattached water heaters in open garage bays without garage doors). I do believe there were various people in the area looking to loot the incomplete houses, however other than that we are currently very pleased. Great Job !!! ... More

We had no say in how the house was laid out on the property. The house was placed 5 feet away from the property line on one side leaving a large piece of property on the other side. We were just told it had to be this way. If this was pointed out to me in the beginning I probably would not have bought the house for that lot. As work was being done on the house, we pointed out several issues that needed to be fixed, most were fixed but some were still unresolved when the time came for the walk-through. We were assured that they would be fixed before the closing, one week later. Well the closing date came and the issues were not fixed. I was lied to through out the build process and at the end. I would not buy another new build from Pulte. ... More

Pulte employees on the whole were very good. My only complaint would be that they allow you a walk through of the home to note items or issues which need to be corrected however this is typically 1.5 to 2 hours and it is impossible to detect every issue both inside and outside of the home during that short period.

Every builder tries to cut corners…stay on top of them. Overall we are happy with our house but the customer service in the last month was terrible especially the title agency.

From the start of my loan process to closing was a stress-free experience and those that I spoke with to the ones I had seen in person was great and knew their business I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for a great experience.

Material used vs price of home was disappointing. But seems to be the Pulte way. I never got the opportunity to interact with the builder until I closed on the house. I submitted a "punch list" over two weeks ago and only one item has been addressed. My last Pulte home. Sell 1st, customer service 2nd.

He was attentive to our feedback and resolved issues right away

Had a great experience throughout the build process. Our sales agent, construction manager and warranty manager were great. We love our new home.

Have had several, above average.

Everyone involved was personal and professional. They were always responsive to questions and/or concerns we had. They kept us informed through the entire process.

We would NEVER recommend building with Pulte Homes. They have ruined our first home building experience and caused immense stress and anxiety levels. The quality of the trades that are used on the homes are elementary. Structure and room are solid. There were children painting in some of the homes, hinges were painted and flooring was painted. Our countertop not installed straight and many of the holes cut into the cabinets appeared to be cut with the wrong tool, holes drilled and not measured properly, caulk and paint used to cover up errors. Tiles were cracked in the master shower. Throughout this process, we communicated issues that we saw with the construction manager and upper levels of management, no on ever apologized and they promised quality and to fix the issues to ensure we loved it. We have been there for a month and continue to find areas that aren't painted, tile that is chipped and cabinets are TRASH. Quality does not exist for this company and they will work to cover it all up. They need to work on process improvement, they do NOT deliver a quality product. Homes were started after ours and homeowners moved in before us, priority is not considered with Pulte. You are treated like a number and their homes are over priced. Their "process" does not work. Closing date was pushed several times due to trades not completing their work on time and construction manager not managing the process adequately, which cost us additional funds in interest hikes. RUN. JUST RUN. PULTE IS AWFUL. Look at other builders and do your homework. ... More

The build process was excellent. My construction manager, Alex was a great communicator. Pulte Title was the opposite. They did not return my calls. The mortgage folks were great Gabriel Montoya and Nance Parker.

Dustin offered weekly updates. He gave personalized care and attention to all matters big or small. Dustin was informative and took all concerns seriously.

Josh did an outstanding job. He made sure all of my questions or concerns were answered. I couldn't of asked for a better experience. My home is perfect!

I appreciated the builders response once a week to keep me informed with my build of my home. From beginning to end staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.

Overall we are happy being in our new home and determined to make the best of it. This is our second Pulte home experience. The first experience was very good. This time, 9 years later, we found the experience to be very frustrating. The sloppiness of the workers. We have scratches on tubs, windows, mirrors. You name it and it was handled roughly. Because we did not catch the multiple issues on the final walk-thru( we were told to just make a list after the walk thru and they would fix) they will NOT repair or replace. Ridiculous! They changed items in the house we ordered without informing us or giving us any say on the matter—they said “we can do this, it’s in the contract”. Well, there is a basic decency when dealing with someone who has taken the time to special order a home. My advice, don’t plan a house to your choices, you won’t get them! Our construction manager did the best he could by us, but could not resolve issues. No one else returned calls. Pulte has problems in St Augustine. ... More

We loved our experience with Pulte @ Bradley Creek. Cindy was great to work with on the sales side, and our Construction. Manager, Jack was a superstar. We're very happy with our experience and would highly recommend the team @ Pulte.

We were in the market for our forever home and our realtor suggested Pulte Homes. We had certain wish list items and found a model home to fit the bill. A Pulte sales agent pushed us toward a quick move-in to save money with the incentives the builder was offering. We toured the model home to compare what we would be getting from our quick move-in and felt like we had a good idea of what we were getting. We voiced our wish list items and it seemed like the quick move-in had most of what we wanted but not all of the items so we went for it. As the building process took place, we quickly noticed our expectations from the model home tour were mismatched. The construction manager provided us with great communication and explanations of what he was handling. We realized the sales agent misled us in many areas of our wish list. We were unhappy with the choices that we had no control over... features available in a non-quick move-in, having two of the same model side by side wasn't a consideration before going under contract but it happened while our home was being built another model of our kind was being built next to us. Given the choice, we would have customized our home but the lot we wanted wasn't released yet. The craftsmanship is what I expect from a quick move-in... quick and sloppy. The vendors are coming out numerous times to address things that should be standard for a new home. We told the builder numerous times during the building to take their time as we wanted it right the first time but no surprise we have a list of issues to be addressed within the first year. Pulte sales need better communication with potential buyers and realistic conversations. The construction team shouldn't have to be the middle man as he is working off a word order while we are left dumbfounded about how details got passed us. The area case manager is friendly, but it is hard to service so many customers promptly. The financing department is friendly in the beginning and as time goes on, they forget previous conversations you have had and ask for more uploads of documents you shared with the team previously. It seems disorganized talking with team members from the West and East for one mortgage application. ... More

Josh, our construction manager, helped to make this experience great- he kept us updated, was honest, cared about delivering a solid product and worked through any problems with us.

There were many great floor plans to choose from in the community. The only thing I would change is the ability to adjust where the home sits on the lot for big lots.

Things that are terrible in our home: the paint, frame, drywall seams, missing range and dishwasher components, damaged microwave, unfinished paint, sketchy fixes to issues (they will hide or try to hide problems before they fix them properly, you have to make them), missing studs behind drywall seams and a host of other issues. Their homes are not measured and framed on site, all walls and joists are assembled off site soemwhere and shipped on a truck so that's one of the reasons why the drywalls seams are so bad. The craftsmanship is a joke and we get to live there, thanks Pulte.

Asher was our sales agent and from the beginning we knew we had struck gold! He was very knowledgeable and very responsive to any issues we had during the building process. Dustin, our construction foreman, had to step in at the end of the building process to take us to the final stretch and did a great job. We felt like the different arms of Pulte Homes were not communicating with one another on the national level. We are extremely pleased with our new home and would go through the entire process all over again in order to get the final result.

What can I say? I was looking forward for a great experience but has been the worse. No what we expected. The materials, the paint, the finishes, Drain back up, AC not working after a month.

Questions were always answered in a timely manor. The construction team was always responsive.
