Pulte Homes Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

From the start to finish Pulte dragged us along. We had essentially 3 different closing dates and each time we tried to close there were significant problems with the townhome. The quality of the home is very poor compared to the pricing of the townhomes. They clearly rushed through the build and placed cheap hardware / fixtures inside. The construction team communicated horribly. Sales team consultant was the only one who gave us honest answers. I would not recommend Pulte to anyone and I will never use them again.

Very poor quality, poor customer service, very poor communication. I still have a ton of pending items after 6 weeks of closing

They delivered the home with lots of issues. Pulte is not checking the basic construction quality prior to closing. Water was leaking from my pantry and Pulte took almost 1.5 months to fix. They installed wrong tile and still waiting to replace. Outside is horrible. Water and mud in my back, left and right of my home. Pulte is not giving any timeline to fix. They did not install the digital lock either and did not reimburse till now. I am very much frustrated with the build quality and response from Pulte.

They denied my prior submission for a review. Laughable. If I could give 0 stars I would. House was built with 0 care. Bathtub urinated in multiple times. Drinking on the job beer bottles everywhere..food trash etc..ac didn't work for a month and a half list goes on.

None of the tiles are levelled- Pulte says this is normal. None of my furniture stay levelled. Walls are not laid straight. Doors does not latch properly, painting not uniform, drywall already having cracks, walls already shaking after one month of closing. There are 30+ issues. Builders just want to close before all proper quality checks are done and forget about it. Field Manager is always in rush to go through inspections with you. To fix the issue, you need to go with their schedule and wait for two weeks upto month. When they come to fix it, is not good and have to redo it or, they simply say this is how it is. I had purchased other home from Century Builder. Compared to that I am not happy with quality and workmanship. Lets see how structure works. ... More

This has been a nightmare from day one. We are a young family moving to tampa from Orlando and were sold a house with an approximate closing date of 8/2021. We forgave many other better products because of this said closing date. Pulte off the back told us we were pushed back to 12/2021 and then later to 2/2022. Due to Current market standards we understood. Once the build process started we never really had any good feeling. The construction manager never had a control on the build process and was giving false timeline expectations. The build quality was poor the workmanship was bad and the construction team couldn’t seem to get a grip on all the problems we were pointing out to them. They cancelled closing and rescheduled it within 10 days of their own given date not once but twice. I had to vacate my rental with my family and live in an air bnb. I had to reschedule my finance closing. After we closed we were handed a poorly finished house with multiple unfinished sidings and paint jobs and I couldn’t believe a multi billion dollar company was ok with putting their name on such a product. The carpet had been put in earlier during construction and even an upgrade felt really cheap and was immensely dirt. My sons are both asthamatics and were falling sick on a daily basis so much so that I had to get the entire carpet reinstalled and all the ac ducts cleaned out at my own cost literally within 2 weeks of moving into a new house. During this change of carpet we saw that the hole in the floor that we had been telling the construction manager for weeks to fix - was still there and increasing in size now. Within the same 2 weeks the bath tub in the master bathroom leaked into the garage ceiling and flooded my garage and destroyed the garage ceiling and side wall with water damage. Mold is already in. And after the nightmare construction I’m going through a nightmare Mold inspection and dry wall work. There are innumerable other problems that we have faced during this move that would be too many to list here. This is my second new build. And I know from previous experience that new home builds don’t start like this, are not this painful, are not done with no care and don’t have such big problems to start with. All I can say is I was very very surprised by such a big name as pulte could not resolve problems when they occurred and were pointed out to them. And now are ok with putting their brand name on a product like the one they gave us. This was happening in a 725k house and I can’t even imagine what they’re doing (and getting away with) in the cheaper ones. This was as much a financial and social stress on me and my family as it was associated with their health and safety. I thought would be healthy and safe in a new house. Boy was I wrong. ... More

This is the worst experience I have ever had with a builder, an yes I have built previously. Project managers were horrible (Zach, Chris (replaced Zach) and Mike the Project Manager over them, unreceptive and did not provide updates as promised Mike Bahr was the worst individual to deal with, he was even more useless than the others. Mike swore he would get all the issues would be completed and forced me in to closing, even though the house was clearly not ready. All the project managers are no longer with the company. 3 months into the home since closing I have a sagging garage ceiling, a torn out master bath shower, a toilet replacement and threats to remove another from the spare bath and other issues I can not just name at this time. I have a warranty man (James) stuck in the middle of this mess because Pulte has hired less than worthy contractors. So to be honest, this is not at all the experience I expected from what I an alleged reputable company Pulte was. I honestly would not recommend Pulte to anyone. ... More

Not follow what I wanted.

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.

within one month- having lots of issues in the home
