Pulte Homes Reviews in Atlanta, GA

Kept us posted about the progress of construction but after 1 month for issues I have emailed few times to get work done and still waiting

After closing not much of support for issue

The overall build process was good, but we were severely rushed through the close process. We were asked to sign off on items that weren’t fixed in order to not delay our close. We were promised multiple times that the remaining items would be fixed immediately. But we’re over a month post close and most of these items remain open. Multiple times we’re been told they were coming by to fix then nobody shows up.

The person who manage the building here was very nice until I signed his review which he begged me to give him all 10. He told me that after the move in if I need help touch up walls etc because furniture hits the walls etc. and I’ve called him four times and still nothing done. He told me im not going anywhere if you need my help well I haven’t seen him since. Im very disappointed in the situation and so are my neighbors. Im also very disappointed with the HOA taking a long time for my fence request while other homes are not even going through them and just putting their fences up. It’s very disappointing im trying to do it the right way. They act like they pay my mortgage. I wish I hadn’t moved here. ... More

The builder put the time and money into running Cat 6 cable to every bedroom tv but not to the built in office...only a PC can take advantage of Cat 6 speeds. Also, the backdoor opens into the dining room table so that they can save a few bucks on the door type. The builder ran the AC with a missing filter because he didn't know it needed 2 filters. Another dumb problem is that the house roof drains right down a steep hill causing obvious erosion issues. The other common problem in the neighborhood is that the builder doesn't know to set garage door openers away from sunlight...so openers only work at night if the house happens to face the sun. The AC system in my house also didn't have sufficient refrigerant gas causing high humidity which will lead to mold if unresolved. They also cut corners in not painting the garage. ... More

Would not recommend. Poor response time to issues. Quality is terrible for the price of homes.

Unfortunately when we closed we were promised that everything would be taken care of. Well that certainly was not the case. House was not cleaned, paint on floor , some areas not touched up before move in. Back door is installed wrong. Issue was addressed and then dropped. Requested a warranty issue and nothing was done about it. Very disappointing to say the least.

HVAC is always having problems. I’ve lived here for a month and it’s been fixed twice.

If you have anything that you would like to incorporate into your new home that is not outlined in this builder's blueprint, then you will not get it. This builder is extremely restrictive and most likely will not allow you to make even simple changes. Therefore, you will live in their house and not yours.

The builder was ok it’s the closing that was the problem. The underwriters for Pulte needs some fixing I thought we was trying to buy a home if I did know any better I thought the underwriting department was not trying to sell this home.

Overall a good (B) experience and friendly people. Disappointed in the workmanship though. Some of the things seem like they were done by an immature and not a professional. Pulte need to re-evaluate their contractors (HVAC, Electrical, Drywall and landscaping to be exact)

We love the house. Everything seems almost perfect. From location as school, shopping, restaurant to sercurity. 1 month from the day I move-in, there are some minor things happen like hot water, squeaking door, foggy window, air thermostate.

Love my house and although a good journey, there bumps, unsettling surprises, delays, headaches and things that could have gone and could have been done better.

The house was delayed for months. It took 1 year a two months to complete. It sat in framing with mechanicals in for 9 months. Pulte is simply a company relying on its founders good name and reputation. The regional construction executives have no idea that the day to day operations and execution is being completed by unskilled day laborers with one English speaking leader whose idea of excellence in construction is based on their home country’s standards which is mostly sub par. I will not build with Pulte again. The aggravation of waiting so long and finally having a product delivered that you can not sign off on for closing has spoiled the building experience for me. I should mention that I’ve built six homes from the ground up and I’ve never experienced anything like this. I read other people’s reviews and thought they were exaggerating or being over the top. They were not… ... More

You'll love your new home built by Pulte, just be sure to keep the lines of communication open even if it becomes tiresome. Someone will eventually address your concerns only to make you feel they squeezed you into their very tight schedule. Personally, I trusted the individuals I dealt with during the process, but I was a customer, the feeling of being "we're with you" ran thin towards the finish line.

It was a first time home buying experience . Overall it was good experience for me but I did not get the home in time until last minute the work was pending .it was just a townhome but pulte did not plan well it took around 10 plus months to get a house which normally takes 4-5 months . Also the quality if the material is not up to the mark being a reputed builder .

Many times follow up of items leads to either request to wait till they find vendor or something they won’t know until you share pics. Commitment is commitment but what was told to me during sale was not that covered 100% also there was desperate rush to close house without listing what customer problem is

We are happy with the house. However, the closing was delayed, which impacted our moving schedule, due to items identified in the initial walkthrough not being addressed on time. Pulte wouldn’t agree to customize anything, even when we just asked to not install items. As an example, the bar soap in the shower is the cheapest one you could find (in a $390k house) and they wouldn’t agree to not put it up. The communication was a struggle at times between agent-realtor-builder. For example, our first walkthrough was delayed by 2 hours due to lack of communication between Pulte agent and realtor. Lastly, we ended up with a nice house and the builder did address all the pending items before closing. He has even come out to address a minor issue after closing. ... More

The house looks good and it is beautiful. I just wish they would take the time to finish things right. Some walls are smooth, others aren’t. Minor details are missing here and there and it takes a while for them to get fixed. Were it not for those things, it would be five stars all around. The employees must be overwhelmed. So, either Pulte should slow down and focus on quality, or higher more people.

Overall, I am happy with the quality of the house. However, the customer service of the builder is very very low. They will promise you the world to get you to buy the house and to have you to write a good review, but will drop contact and won't address anything they should have fixed once it is done.

It feels like the house was rushed to be built and the quality of the work is not on par with the price paid for the house

Amazing experience with everyone I interacted with, from the front office to project managers, loan officers, etc. However, at this price point, (over 600k), I had certain expectations for a home. Some of the standard/builder grade options were the same/less than my first new build (approximately 20 years ago). For example, I had a better shower/tub in my apartment than the stand tub/shower combo in my over half a million dollar home. In addition, some things just felt rushed. For example, there were a number of areas where paint hadn't been removed from the hard wood, paint dried but looked as though it was still dripping because of the way it dried...just small cosmetic things I didn't notice until after I moved in. ...

I was surprised at the amount of obvious flaws and poor craftsmanship that we had to continuously point out for repair prior to closing. Bring a level and magnifying glass when doing routine walks or you’ll be stuck with shorty work.

It has definitely not been a stress free move process. A lot of rescheduling because of not receiving communication in time that walk-throughs cannot be met as things are not finished, or having to reschedule the closing multiple times. In the end we could not move the closing any further due to move out constraints, but the house was not fully ready yet 3 weeks after promised delivery when they were just one month out of closing. If they had focused on our house I'm sure they would have been able to, but it seems they were short staffed and had multiple closings around getting delayed, so sometimes nobody was working on it as it was just in the queue. A bit disappointed on the quality of the finishes in the house, we highlighted multiple times various areas to be addressed, but they never did. You get to the point that you give up asking and just see if you can do something yourself instead. Some examples are: paint on the hardwood floors, stain on the stairs are not done very well in certain spots or there are stain drips on hard wood. The whole house was dirty as well. It just doesn't show as a good quality finish. After moving in, I opened various tickets to address some immediate concerns. After not hearing for a while, a new warranty manager was appointed - Demetri. Demetri took immediate action and was great to work with. Based on his supervision my tickets got addressed with quick turnaround. In the end things look a bit better, but overall I would still not say it's high quality work that I would have expected based on the price I paid. I'm still scraping my floors to try and get it paint free to make it look like a finished product. ... More

The home buying experience was good. The design center experience was great. Once construction of the home started, communication was sketchy. We had four different project managers (PM) and I believe the communication between each PM during the transition from one to other was lacking. The quality of the workmanship could be better for the price of the home.
