Pulte Homes Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

There are few issues like Since we chose platinum package we have chosen vinyl but there is a gap between vinyl floor and the door frame. Drive way bricks not properly arranged. Also the closet racks all rusted the day we move in. Still following up for the replacement. Someone came to touch up that's what we need. Garage was not placed properly I see the bolt placed on one side unsupported and door hanged somewhere. Guest restroom water clogged within a week. Title floor filings coming out now itself.

The process with the building of the home went extremely well. As It is my first new home I didn’t know what to look for as far as detailed work. After moving in which is hard to get done, we started to see things that didn’t stand out or thought would be an issue became one, the tile, the grout was not cleaned properly off some of the tiles which is now dry therefore now as to be scraped off. The lanai post as an opening which was never corrected, granted it’s very small however still noticeably, the window in the bathroom has grout on the glass on the outside which is not easy to scrape off without a ladder. Those are the very small but important matter that I would have paid more attention to and had done before closing. Otherwise very happy with the home. I would still buy another pulte home again. As I said very small issues ... More

Our home had many delays which I understand is out of the builder’s control to a certain extent. But the quality of the build is sub par - there were many issues we found at our closing walk-through that took months to be addressed. Also, some of the materials, such as the paint, are very low quality. Our appliances have dents in them and most of the sod laid in the yard was dead when they laid it. Communication from the builder is not at an acceptable level. I will never build a Pulte house again and would not recommend anyone else.

Before closing everyone was so eager to help in so many ways. After, it was rather difficult to get anyone to help until Dave came into the picture a month later. Things are starting to move now.

Multiple issues too long to list. Still working on punch list. Ridiculous

Crooked walls, AC undersized, yard floods, dead sod, the list could go on forever.

It’s okay not a good experience for a first home buyer

The communication through the entire process was fantastic. From when we first visited the site and toured the models right to the closing on our villa. We were living in Connecticut through the whole process and had to rely mainly on e mails and docu signs to handle deposits, loan process, and building progress. Everyone we worked with were helpful, patient, and answered any question we had for them. It made the long distance a non issue. Excellent people!!

I want it to be known that my review is being written in a world devastated by the current climate of our nation and world as it relates to COVID related issues that either slowed down and/or played a role in some of the poor craftsmanship of the house and closing process. So with all that being said, our construction manager was extremely responsive and fixed issues rather swiftly. Overall the experience was swift, transparent, as well as very detailed in regards to what we were getting. Delays and cleanliness of house upon closing left a lot to be desired, but again, we understand the current market of backordered materials and personnel being out due to COVID. ... More

I am very disappointed with the warranty department

Great team to work with, very responsive and staying on track.

READ THE CONTRACT BEFORE YOU SIGHN

Pulte homes is a tremendous company, and my wife and I are proud owners of a Pulte home.

Thankfully we were able to sign and build our home before the prices went up on lumber and materials. They were very efficient getting what we needed and communication was top notch!

From start to finish of the entire process was made seamless through the professionalism and attention to detail from the entire Pulte group.

It was a very good experience for our family.

Beautiful and high quality homes

Every step of the process was easy and streamlined. Customization options were pretty good, and any time I had an issue with something, it was already being addressed.

I had really good experience after the purchase too. Did get a lot of help with many minor things from Michael and the build team.

I would want them to stop by my house and see the “finished” house and not the model before they decide to work with Pulte. I would also want them to know the quality is really bad and the experience is just mind blowing.

Pulte is a cookie cutter homebuilder. Please do not expect to make any changes, even with a change order. Three days after I put my contract in, I wanted to put in a change order for a screened in lanai. I was told I couldn't, because the order had already been submitted to the county. I am still without screening for my lanai (the housing industry is booming in Florida, it is difficult to schedule the work or get a response). My experience was and still is very stressful (ongoing issues). I am still trying to get items up to par. They push closing because they are schedule driven. With this, quality is diminished or lost. My home closed with three major items that should have been fixed/repaired before closing: an air conditioner that didn't cool, a very crooked oven hood, and damaged kitchen granite (two of these items I didn't know about until after closing). Additionally, I'm trying to have some electrical outlets installed in my home. I must go through the company that did the work or the warranty will be voided should something happen; however, the electrical company has not/will not return calls (I've called three times) after promises of a return call from an estimator. I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Pulte. What should have been a joyful experience turned into a depressing and negative experience. ... More

First time home buyer and absolutely loved the experience Jill made the buying process a breeze and was super transparent and great to work with.

I have issues that I submitted weeks ago and no responce yet, now i'm going to resubmitt them, if you want me number 9735581800

Our home was 6 weeks delayed which was very hard since we were moving out of state and had sold our old home 4 weeks prior to closing. We've been in the house for over a month and punch list items are still not completed. The day we closed we came to a home that was full of workers, no supervisor and no deadline. The walls were still being painted 3 days after closing. We were unable to fully move in and settle which with 2 children and pets and working from home situation while coming from out of state was a nightmare. Very dissapointed.

My project manager did a great job communicating with me during the build process. However a week before closing we were assure things would be fixed by closing and they were not. Then we were assured they would take care of it while we were in the house. When we followed up we were told we had to put in warranty tickets. Now we've been in the home two months, our doors are not aligned, tile is crooked and chipped, and my floors are not level.
