Pulte Homes Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

Hoping for an enjoyable living experience.

Good but always room for improvement

COVID challenges all of us.

The fact of having to bid on the lot bothered me. Ended up paying almost twice the origional price for our lot. Would have liked to be able to customize my build more. Seemed a little rushed to close before all issues were resolved..

Buying new construction with unprofessional finishes to details was a little shocking to me. I love my floorplan and home but everyday I am finding mistakes that I wouldn't expect with a new build. It feels like I bought a new Mercedes with a few scratches... we will correct the ones we can, but I expected more in craftmanship.

Overall I had a good experience, even with pandemic-related delay issues with regard to supplies.

We had a very good experience with Pulte. They were responsive and followed up on all issues.

The overall quality is good.

Overall very happy with our new home. Felt like a few things were not like the model and surprised. The “smart” features are not coordinated and barely enhance the home. Some do not work properly and ownership of the problem was dumped on the installing contractor who has been very poor on getting things right. Very long wait for hot water at all points. But again, the build process and quality has been excellent overall. Shane was very upfront and responsive, and Max too but he came near the end.

I like the home but having been in the trades I am not thrilled with some of the workmanship. For the cost of the home I expected more.

My home is very nice and seems to be well constructed. I did not go with Pulte mortgage or homeowners insurance; therefore, that was slow process.

Overall good experience. There have been some

Home buying experience is good but Service response for issues is not as it supposed to be. Since we moved in none of the pending issues are resolved even after 2 months of closing. Didn’t feel like it’s not the correct value for our money. Construction quality can be better as well.

We moved in over two months ago and are still waiting on things to be fixed that were on the celebration walkthrough list. We have to continue to follow up

Well designed homes, poor quality control on workmanship. Way too much pressure put on construction managers to deliver an impossible schedule

Overall Good Experience So Far!

What bothers me is all the grass they put in are loaded with frogs; however 2 times they got into my new home under the couch. They come out at night so you can't even sit outside cause they run in. It is a problem, otherwise everything was OK.

Initial sales experience and design studio interactions were great. Good value for price paid. Interaction with Superintendent could have been better - weekly updates were generally regularly given, but not always. Closing was delayed due to availability of materials. This is more due to the industry at the time and not the builder’s fault. At closing some issues were identified that have yet to be resolved. Warranty requests can take some time to be responded to/repaired. Overall a good experience and would definitely build with Pulte again.

We were happy with the quality of our new home. David and Trenton were very helpful.

Warranty response is great and follow up is good. We absolutely love the floorplan of our house and the speed at which problems were resolved.

It was great experience. Few things are needed to be fixed though

It is important to us to note that our Construction Manager was very attentive throughout this process and corrected a lot of things along the way for us. The problem lies in the workmanship of the contractors brought out to actually build the home. So many things missed or poorly put together that led to numerous revisits and revisions. Important to hire an inspector to ensure that every detail of the home that may not be obvious to the homeowner is looked over and corrected. It's disappointing that it requires so much effort to ask over and over again for things to get corrected, but if this is a home you plan to live in for a long time, you want to do everything you can to ensure it is correct. ...

Bying a home with Pulte is fine however avoid using Pulte mortgage at all costs! Dealing with them is an absolute nightmare!

Limited home design budget, overall quality is good (when you upgrade literally everything like we did), Finance wasn’t a good experience, period. They just never called us back nor picked up the phone. They messed up our contract. Home construction manger was very responsive. The warranty manager was very responsive at first, but slowed down a lot in response. The electrician that worked on our electrical issues after closing didn’t follow through. Carpenter was fast and did quality work.. Construction trash left in drain of one of the bath tubs, after the complainant it drained slow before closing. Size of house is nice, so is layout. Like the location, the amenities here. ... More

Overall, Pulte builds a good to very good home. Attention to details by the homeowner as the home is under construction is important. Workmanship needed to be followed up on during the process and addressed. Most items should have been identified, and corrected, by the builder not the home owner.
