Pulte Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

We had such a good experience with Pulte. Our foreman Chuck went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us and didn’t settle for just “OK”. He continues to follow up and check in months after closing. We have really appreciated working with him!

The entire process was very smooth from initial purchase to final move-in. Our initial sales person Mike was very helpful every time we had a question at the beginning of the process. Our contractor Steve was honest and thorough and always responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

Quality of workmanship/materials needs improvement

Called in 2 issues so far and builder refuses to come and take care of issues, making excuses to refuse taking care of warranty work

The sales team and project managers are great, but things went downhill after closing. The quality of vendors/trades used to work on this home were of a low quality. The drywall is sloppy, my slider leaks/is missing panels to keep insects out and there is debris on top of all of my cabinets. There is paint all over my carpet and upstairs window exteriors. The warranty representatives are not helpful. I work in the home building industry and truly disappointed in my experience.

The quality of construction much lower then expected. Pulte uses the cheap materials, the worst appliances such as refrigerator, dish washer, dryer. Subcontractors don't know how to connect it the right way. Most walls are not level, tapers do inside corners of the wall as round, joint tape is visible, painters pint with dirty rollers that all walls have dust under the pain, base bords painted over the dirt from the not swiped floors. Electricians can't install outlets in one level, all outlets above the counter top in different level up to 1" and 1/2. Carpenters installed all doors not level. Entrance door 1/2" of level and can't be closed properly. AC installer doesn't know how to run duct system, some rooms have no air flow some rooms blow air as it hurricane. I can continue with the quality of Pulte construction more, just wondering if anybody cares. ... More

Stephen was a kind a human, caring, and excellent at his job. We are truly lucky to have been paried up with him and with Pulte homes!

Our construction manager Chris was absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!! his attention to detail was unmatched and his responsiveness to any concerns was prompt and thorough.

Andrew, Daniel and Gianni have been our main contacts, pre and post purchase. All have been responsive, courteous and knowledgeable … can’t ask for much else. So far, we feel that we’ve made a great choice of home and community.

I do not recommend buying house at Sapphire Point

We have been Pulte’s home owners in the past. With this home we purchased at time of closing was so disappointment to see the tile floors. The grout and scratches were all over the grout and tiles. The house was poorly cleaned in general.

Pulte gives you alot of home for the money. The process was well-defined and delivered as promised.

Pulte dissapointed us. We have found so many things that needed to be fixed that is so terrible. Even my fridge was scratched and something didn’t look good inside, but they didn’t take responsibility for it. I needed to contact the appliance company so they can take care of it. We thought Pulte was a more quality builder but we were wrong. Even my garage was built with broken concrete blocks. I don’t recommend this builder. Good thing they repair everything that we had pointed to them.

Very sad experience! Would not have bought a Pulte home if I had known how the experience and quality would have been.

Pulte was with us from start to finish with wonderful staff and continued support I don’t think buying a new home, having it built to our needs and closing on time I don’t think you could find a better experience

There were a variety of floor plans and options to choose from, making the design center experience enjoyable. Receiving email updates with pictures of the building process was a nice touch. The final walkthrough before closing was a helpful opportunity to identify any issues to address before completing the sale.

Entrance gate is repeatedly out of order, fence panels taken out by hurricane Debby still not replaced after 5 weeks, Ring doorbell does not work, roof tiles broken since 3 months before closing still not fixed. Many, many emails, texts and calls made but no response

We closed on a Pulte home in June of '24 and most of the home needed a greater attention to detail than what the home received. over two-thirds of the floor tile has too much grout, not enough grout, not leveled, damaged or has sharp corners. After the Warranty Manager confirmed the condition of tile three weeks, we have yet to be contacted about the status of our claim. Lots of damage and lingering stain to most of our floor trim boards throughout the home. It seems that the only issues that Pulte addresses are issues that they deem appropraite. The screen enclosure which encloses our pool was installed by Coast to Coast pools and they left two large gaps between the pavers and the screen. At least 10% of the Travertine pavers are not level. ... More

Our Construction Manager Daniel did a good job covering things with us as we are not around for the build. We had a record rainfall yesterday, no issues at all.

We purchased a Daylen overlooking the lake. It’s a great little house at a great little price. The build was incredibly fast - Feb to June - and everyone was caught by surprise. Finishes are nice, but corners were cut to get to the price point. No gutters, bathroom towel bars, missing kitchen cabinet, no screen on back slider. Should have been given the option to upgrade. But all good. Follow up issues are dealt with very quickly and Stephen St. Armand is great.

I had a great experience with Pulte Homes! From the sale with Madison to the final finishes with Nick..they were extremely responsive and helpful, especially with being an out of state during the build.

During and after the completion of our home Chuck the foreman kept in touch and took care of all our concerns, which were few. This was our 9th home purchase and by far was the best experience.

Great experience overall. Painters were a little sloppy, but doesn't change my 5 star rating

I love my new home and highly recommend Pulte Homes!

Great subs. Proficient and fast. Home built before projected time line. They are there for you even after ownership. Great person relations from the entire company.
