Pulte Homes Reviews in Naples, FL

I had a nightmarish experience purchasing and building a home with Pulte. The craftsmanship was shockingly poor, with numerous defects and shoddy workmanship evident throughout the construction process. To make matters worse, it became apparent that unskilled labor was employed, leading to further complications and delays. In a disturbing revelation, it was discovered that some workers were underage and involved in illegal labor practices. This entire ordeal highlighted the importance of thorough research and due diligence when selecting a home builder. Despite numerous complaints, the builder failed to address major issues plaguing the house. Every window bore noticeable scratches, a glaring sign of the lack of attention to detail. Shockingly, almost every kitchen cabinet required replacement due to subpar quality and craftsmanship. The builder's negligence in resolving these fundamental issues underscored their disregard for customer satisfaction and raised serious questions about their commitment to delivering a quality product. It left me frustrated and regretful about the entire home-buying experience. I will never consider a Pulte home again. ... More

I had a change in work location and have to sell the home, I cannot even get what I paid for it on the open market. By the time I pay my Realtor, I'll lose money

Sales agent says one thing to one person and something else to another. Working with the mortgage company was one of the worst experiences of our lives. Title and insurance companies were easy to deal with. Project managers must be over worked because nothing seems to get done in a timely manner- we moved in over a month ago and our door doesn’t lock- still waiting for someone to come and fix it- have to go back to our home in the north soon so will probably have to fix it ourselves. Also light switch cutouts are carelessly done leaving gaps around plates-don’t expect them to fix this. Any repairs noted on walk through still have not been done. ... More

The bad experience started early. We bought in the very first month of releases, but when it came time to lock in the color of the home, our salesman told us our color choice was restricted because he allowed people who the month after us to pick first. Then they discarded all the rules on elevation and model locations, which means you have houses with the same elevation next to each other. Our communication with our salesman stopped when no work was done on our house for 2 months after the walls went up. We were initially told to expect a mid-July to mid-September closing. Our closing date was moved 3 times and we finally closed late November. People who bought their homes after us, moved in four months before us. Spec homes that were dirt lots when our house had walls up were finished and sold ,while we continued to wait. We were given many reasons and excuses for our house being delayed. Some of them might have even been true. The workmanship is generally shoddy. The painters are incredibly sloppy with paint splattered all over the floors and windows, hinges, doors, and baseboard. Most of our cabinet faces were damaged in the installation and need replacement. Many of our cabinets still don't have handles on them. Many of our windows are deeply scratched. We had an unsealed laundry stack that leaked into our roof. Our oven door got ripped off during installation; we have been told it cannot be properly repaired but a replacement oven is not available. Every day we find a new unfinished or unpainted spot. We did not receive many of our purchased upgrades with no estimated delivery date being provided. They did not inform us about some of the upgrades we didn't receive like a $3700 air purifier, which we found out about on our own. The gates have been an issued. The transponder reader has never worked. The gates got left closed during the hurricane so they broke and have remained broken and open, except when Pulte decides to close them without telling anyone or tellling them the gate code. Supposedly they were getting fixed in December. It's now mid January. Overall, the past 14 months has been stressful and disappointing. Pulte SW Florida should not be building homes in the $1.5-2+ million range until they get their quality control vastly improved. ... More

Please call me for my long awaited repairs. Thank you, Unsatisfied customer

Recent owner of a Pulte home in Southwest Florida. For all the advertising about excellent quality work and what not, they don’t even do a fraction of it. They have taken on way more than than they can handle and just are just cranking through houses to get better numbers while completely ignoring quality. I have built a house before and know what to expect with any new construction. It was evident that there has been no supervision or oversight of the work being done. Workers are telling me directly they got maybe a fourth of time they should be getting to complete their work. I personally will not buy a Pulte home again and will never recommend it to others. I don’t care if it’s supply chain shortages or too much demand, you are taking my money for full price so I expect the returns to be full and fair. Get your stuff together and pay attention to your homes, not just how many homes your close. ... More

the contractors that were used to build our home home didn't care about the workmanship very sloppy have a large list for warranty work to be done
