Pulte Homes Reviews in Orlando, FL

I was very disappointed in the sloppiness during the construction process with paint and drywall materials found on many finishes and resulted in the need for steam cleaning. There seemed to be a rush to complete the home which was behind scheduled and definitely a trade off between quality and speed. The CM seems over stretched and able to focus as there were too many houses to manage. Overall it was a very average experience and so far a very below average experience with after closing service for issues requested in Pulte Owner's Entry portal.

Please help me here. I’m first time home buyer

Still waiting for things to be fix.

Very disappointed with the quality and materials

Since I moved I have home issues but Mr King came 1 time after that I summit my request nothing was done. Also dumpster truck company started to work at 5 am this is unacceptable because we have kids and dogs sleeping at this time. and others words super intendents only sleeping in the trucks all day. Contractors block streets and do what they want . my next review is going to google.

This builder is all about craftsmanship, but is NOT, be aware of details and installation procedures.

Once you make your decision they lose motivation to do anything. Don't take their word at face value. Check and doublecheck. Because they will tell you one thing and do something different or nothing at all.

We chose Pulte because of name recognition for quality homes. Unfortunately we are not impressed by what we received and there are still issues with our home. I would definitely have to think twice if I were ever to buy from Pulte again.

While Ryan was doing his best. His workers and people hired by Pulte were not good We are still waiting for many items to be finished We closed on August

Pulte mortgage was the absolute worst mortgage company I’ve ever dealt with, and I have dealt with a few. They should not force us to use Pulte mortgage. The whole closing process was not very pleasant. Our refrigerator was not hooked up to water & the house was filthy when we moved in.

Overall a very average experience especially after the contract was signed.

don't use their mortgage company and make sure you have a good realtor that keeps on top of everything

It is very concerning that you are making a big investment, there are not quality controls follow by Pulte to deliver a quality product. There are expectations that the client has to understand the issues, but it is hard to do so when issues are related to a lack of quality control procedures not been followed. When you see all the visible issues, you get really concerned about what it is hidden. There are big issues with the quality of the finishes and the quality of the materials used are questionable.

Finishing of my room garage was not appropriate. I found so many holes in garage and surfaces are uneven. Before closing I met ryan home supervisor. We found some small issues during inspection and he told me we will take care of everything. I request him to move outlet from bottom to top for TV. He promised us, he will definitely take care of that.It was very easy job. After closing of home I give him access of my home for few weeks to finish outlet job. After certain day he didn’t answer my call or text msg. He is lying to me and didn’t fulfill my request till today. Please advice everyone before closing make sure everything taking care. Because afterwards they won’t care. ... More

Very bad post construction

Pulte was not good on communicating throughout home building process. Although there were issues with delivery of items. Delays or missing items were never recieved. Because of the delays i had additional unexpected costs.

Check everything and make them properly clean the property. A new home should not be turned over to the buyer in bad condition.

This is my second home purchase with Pulte and almost might be my last. It was a true headache from the beginning with the sales center and lack or attention to detail and communication. The saving grace was the field managers who actually communicated very well and helped along the way. If I was to purchase again and saw the same sales team I dealt with I would leave. To obtain any updates from them was like pulling teeth. Even the local main office was also terrible at communicating. Due to covid we had supply issues but my home started after homes that had been purchased after me because the sales rep forgot to submit everything on time. ... More

Overpriced, way over to the appraisal report price, and not even a chance for negotiations

I would buy from the sales rep 100 times over and the the site manger is great too. Warranty team is poor, talk a great game but poor delivery.

We bought the big house (4360 soft ) in isles of lake Nona( more than $1 million .but after moving in we found lot of issues regarding bathrooms They missed towel rod, shower curtain rods, tissue holder, soap holder in all the bathrooms , lock handle inside one of the bathrooms to lock it inside , master bathroom door won’t close properly

We relocated from Wisconsin; thrilled to move into a brand new home. However, we were hit with a sobering reality that a new home doesn’t mean that the builder put any care into the home. We moved into a home with broken cabinets, literal holes in the flooring, pealing paint, pools of water in the lanai, electrical sockets not properly installed, improperly installed doorbell, mismatched windows, parade of ants, cheap appliances, and a sheer lack of care for the build of this home! We are left heartbroken for selling out beautiful home in Wisconsin for THIS! Would not recommend Pulte!

Problems with AC, smoke detector, completing things that should have been done before Settlement, inability to access warranty website and no one answers the phone during normal business hours. Omar, Dale, and Jason are great, but I believe many others simply don’t care about doing a good job or even feel like working at all.

We had many issues throughout our process. We signed our contract prior to the rapid increase in interest rates. We enjoyed the customization options provided and going to the design center. However as we approached closing our appraisal came in well below the contracted price (over $100k). This had “never happened before” and they would work to make it right. Claims of multiple appraisals never came to fruition, lack of proper communication to us as well as internally were very surprising and disappointing. We obviously went with Pulte as the lender as that is how they bait and hook you into getting extra incentives. So the fact their lending team, sales team, and closing team seemed to have no way to communicate was shocking. They failed to rectify issues and almost led us to walk away from the deal. Our construction manager was top class and very attentive and quick to help and communicate their piece of the process so we were thankful for them. But the sales team, lending side, and closing side was a mess. We have built other homes before and never struggled like this, leading to the title of the review, “Surprisingly Disappointed.” ...

I will never do business with Pulte again. The Company only cares about the bottom line and they know that once they’ve got you in a contract they have the upper hand, so they will take advantage of that. If you’re considering buying a new home, stay away from Pulte. There are plenty of other builders who will offer you the same warranty they do, but they will treat you like a customer, not prey.
