Pulte Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

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.

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.

Overall, we are very happy with our newly built home. Appreciating the challenges that have impacted the economy with labor shortages and supply chain issues, our home buying/building experience was a positive one. Working with our field manager and sales rep we felt like we were kept well informed with the progress and timing throughout the process. Happy to be new Florida residents!

Would enjoy building another home with Pulte in the future.

The build experience was amazing! My project manager was absolutely the best! Very responsive and caring to all our needs. The only issues we had were with the underwriting of the mortgage. They consistently wanted reports and information that was redundant and not necessary for the approval of the mortgage. After the initial approval, they wanted the same reports and statements over and over again for 6 months. This became very tiresome and certainly didn't help my impression of Pulte mortgage. Other than the underwriting process, it was a very good experience.

I expected buying a Pulte home would. be the same. as the Pulte home I just sold. Nothing could be further from the truth. The house is wonderful. The construction is wonderful. I gates did not work but they were fixed quickly. The. community center is not ready. The HOA is not ready. All things will be fixed in time. I understand that, and the price was right...

I recently purchased a new home in Arbor Oaks. Overall I am very happy with the home. I do think the quality of the workman ship could improve. Even after inspecting the home before we closed and having a lot of cosmetic issue's fixes we are still finding a lot more that need to be fixed. Most of what we are finding is just sloppy work. Pulte is very responsible to getting items fixed but if they were to do a better quality job to start there would not be a need to come back to make these repairs.

Have had a few issues, largest being that the fence around the property was torn down in the last hurricane - back in October. Being told construction on a new one won't even begin until January. 3 months without a fence when we're paying to be in a "gated community". Also were told no damage to our roof in the storm (we were out of town) only to find out - by accident - weeks later that a section of our roof had been torn off. Overall, Pulte has been pretty responsive when repair requests have been made, and we've had a couple. Overall, we love the home - at least we WILL once we have a fence back up! ... More

The quality of the home is excellent! We used Pulte Mortgage for our financing. It felt like they were splitting hairs with the overly thorough nature of some of their requests—but we got there in the end. We have been in our home for one month and are very happy with the house and the community!

Trevesta is a friendly neighborhood with great neighbors.

Excellent process from start to finish Responsive

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 have been in our new home approximately 2 months. So far we are quite pleased with our experience. We purchased the home as a spec that was about 1/2 finished at the time of purchase. We were pleased with the quality of materials and craftmanship that we saw at time of purchased and as the process continued. One are we were disappointed in was the builders decision to fence behind our home and all of the homes along our street after our purchase was made. We made the purchase based on the development plan we were given which showed no fence behind any of the homes on our street. To Pulte's credit they did give us a aluminum fence which ultimately did not impede the wooded view we paid a premium for. However the vinyl fence behind all of the homes to our left was a disappointment due to the way it degraded the view of the wooded common area behind all of these homes. The only other issues we have encountered have been with a toilet in our master bathroom. The float has gone out twice now in two months. However Pulte and their sub have been quick to fix the problem. The second issue had to do with a sub splashing concrete all over the side of our home as they were pouring the foundation on the home next door. Again Pulte was quick to have the left side of our home repainted to repair the damage. All in all I have been pleased with my experience with Pulte and would recommend them and the Marwood community to other prospective purchasers ... More

Construction manager and warranty manager are awesome!!!

Marianne (sales rep), Malcolm (project mgr), Andrew (Customer service mgr) are outstanding and have been a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, their workload is increased by the lack of responsiveness of the Pulse suppliers. I closed two months ago and I don't have the washer and dryer that I ordered. The workmanship from the cabinet supplier install team was surprisingly poor. Several structural issues were ignored. The painting crew was sloppy. I have permanent non-removable paint marks on my tile floor, and some damage from using paint remover on the floor tiles. The door jambs have irregular cutouts which prevents the doors from closing properly and staying closed. The pool and spa were permanently stained from construction debris and yet the pool contractor filled it with water and expected us to accept it in that condition. The lack of regard for the property during construction by the subcontractors seems to be the source of most of the issues on my punch list. Both bath tubs had to be resurfaced because the crews threw the protective liners into the swimming pool and used the tubs as trash receptacles. A large crow was trapped in the pool cage over a weekend because workers left the doors open. The crow put holes in the cage screens. We are very fortunate to have such dedicated partners in all this (specifically, Marianne, Malcolm, and Andrew). They work very hard to get issues resolved. They are amazingly customer focused. They remain positive and pleasant when presented with issues. I work full time and having to deal with a long punch list takes a significant amount of my time as well as the Pulte team. I think everyone's time is valuable and wish that the subcontractors shared that belief. ... More

Overall good experience and a well crafted home, however, the follow up on the inevitable punch list is frustrating and diminishes the joy of new home ownership.

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

Andrew in sales was great to work with up front. Our Construction Mgr Sean was awesome- did a great job and great communication. House was ready at closing and so far (6 weeks in) minimal issues

Awesome experience! They did a great job.

After the purchase, things got better. Shane and Ed have been very responsive to any issues I’ve had with the house. The house floor plan is a sweet spot in the housing market. The workmanship is not something I’d brag about. But I realize that the nature of the trades in 2024.

From what we have experienced to date, we are pleased with the quality of construction and responsiveness to our concerns. Our sales representative, Vanessa, and construction manager, Jesse, have been especially helpful.

Maquire and Daniel did a great job with orientation via video call. They were both very professional and considerate about other’s problems. Maquire also went above and beyond. The day we moved in was the day of Hurricane Ian. She bought water and batteries for us. She made sure that we we’re safe. She’s is an angel. Daniel came by and checked on us and made sure everything is okay at home as well.

It took 18 months to build our home. Encountered a lot of issues with supplier delays and worker shortages. Overall, the project manager did a good job considering he is responsible for the construction of 40 homes.

Our field manager is great

Our home is beautiful and just the way we expected to look. Like anything else, when the dust settled we found things we didn’t like. That being said, they were pretty responsive with regards to repairs.
