Pulte Homes Reviews in Atlanta, GA

We are 45 days post closing with still a lot of tickets in progress. With the rate of turnover at Pulte it makes it hard to get our stuff completed and communication is horrible. It's been a lot of talk.

Due to lack of communication between our construction manager and the closing department, our closing date was pushed back twice (both time super last minute). The quality of the house is super lacking in the workmanship and quality. Baseboards are crooked, door casings are noticeably crooked, experts who came to measure our windows for blinds mentioned that our windows were some of the least uniform and straight ones they’ve ever measure, and closet doors won’t close. This is just the start of it all. When I reached out to Pulte customer service, I was informed that these were “cosmetic issues” that didn’t warrant any fixing until the 12 month mark. This house buying and building experience has been an ABSOLUTE nightmare. ... More

1) Overall communication was bad to get status updates from the builder representative frequently and ended up into escalations. 2) Closing was delayed multiple times despite of multiple follow ups. 3) Quality of the work seemed to be okay before closing but after 2-3 months discovered bunch of issues which were not addressed despite of multiple follow ups over email/phone/text with Customer Care Manager III, CFT, Area Lead :: Georgia Division. Some of the issues were related to gutter, front door air leaks and Pulte doesn't care despite of sleepless nights.

Not a great experience buying home with pulte

Pulte Homes in this community is taking advantage of the market situation and building very poor quality homes. The building managers are over whelmed with the number of homes they have to work and not able to supervise the construction quality and missing several important aspects. Pulte homes is only intersted in rushing to close the homes without even having appliances and competing the home properly.I would not recommend this company to put your money

My advice is to never close on the home when their are outstanding items that need to be complete. This was our first time building a home. We did not truly understand that the home should be complete (move-in ready) the day before close. Now, we still have items not done and I have to constantly follow up to get anything done. Lesson learned.

Every meeting with project manager was a waste of time. He gave wrong information on many occasions that had us believe things would be done a certain way. Items discussed at multiple pre walk through were never addressed. Sheetrock seams on ceilings did not receive a finish coat before paint. Exterior of house needs full repaint due to touch ups not matching. Garage door was never painted. One circuit of outlets in kitchen does not work ( breaker will not reset). Didn’t receive a second garage door opener. There is more, but this is only supposed to take 1to 2 minutes.

Punch list items noted on inspection and final walk thru still not resolved after 2 months of being in the home. Awful experience with Pulte. Really bad workmanship. 5 field managers through our build process because Pulte treats their employees so poorly that they all quit. It took 14 months from contract to close on a 4 story townhouse. Promises not kept. I will never buy a Pulte home again and will be deterring others from doing so.

A lot of issues have been noted since we moved in on 27Jan2021. -Plumbing issues - several occasions. Flooded my whole powder room, living room. leaking thru kitchen flood light due to water going thru overflow in master bedroom -responsiveness to issues - very non-cholent and careless attitude -a couple defects i noticed and have reported that is still not addressed. overall, not impressed.

Once I bought the home and moved in we feel like we live a nice Resort Community!!… great pool house and well kept so far

My experience with this company was terrible, Tifanie was not doing her job, when it came to responding to emails. The company it self doesn't answer phone put will respond in email right after you call. I am still having issue with my address trying to get my gas turned in my name since June 2025, they have address all wrong no one responded. This is the worse company I ever work with when it comes to purchasing a home. If they give you someone name Tifanie ask for someone else. Taylor the walk through guy was great he gets all 5 stars for me. Mico also gets 5 stars from me. The rest of Pulte get nothing worse experience and to stillness dealing with wrong address trying to get appliance done is crazy. ... More

It took way too long to build the home. There are clear issues in trim work. Price was ridiculously expensive

I’m not sure if all big developers are like this but for Pulte I can definitely say this. Don’t ever trust the sales team and don’t take anything on face value which they say. If you have any issues after the closing they WILL NOT respond. However im satisfied with the construction quality and this team’s responsiveness.

They were way behind their timeline and kept making last minute changes to closing. Subcontractors were terrible and there was little oversight or quality control, so the workmanship is terrible. Lots of promises about things that would be repaired but little follow through. They have a warranty, but you submit things to their portal and never hear back. Beyond the inconvenience and expense of all of the delays and problems lies the fact that if there are so many things wrong with the things that I can see on the surface, what problems lie beneath…

The real estate agent along with the materials given to me summarizing approximate closing dates were deceptive and incorrect. Also, I had done my final inspection ahead of time and someone had come in and kicked a whole in the bathroom wall under sink.

Pulte is a normal builder with average build quality.

The local construction managers were great to work with and did an amazing job helping us get into the house. Unfortunately, there are many issues with the house that they are unable to resolve due to the company policy. The gutters on the house are too small to handle the rain in Georgia and will need to be replaced at my cost. Lots of small issues that we are finding all over the interior and exterior of the home. Based on the lack of workers available and the companies inability to get other contractors, I am not confident that the issues will get resolved. I will end up paying for the repairs myself to get it handled before they become bigger issues. Very disappointing when you pay this much money for a house. ... More

The quality of work and delivered to us as homeowners, completely underwhelmed us and for the price you pay for this property we really felt taken advantage off! I would not recommend.....

If you buy from Pulte while the market is still hot in ATL , do not expect anyone to hear or address your concerns. It is take it or leave it.

What I would tell prospective homebuyers would be to run far and fast away from Pulte homes! This is my 3rd Pulte home and it will be my last. The quality of the work in the house is abysmal! There is basically zero responsiveness to issues. If there is any sort of followup it’s only when asked multiple times and then the work still doesn’t get completed. The finishes are sloppy and careless and if I couid go back in time knowing what I know now I would never have purchased this home.

Have mold after 1 month in basement as it was never built properly. Flag at inspection and during build, was never resolved although promised it would be. Warranty denied for “underground spring” - you are not allowed to build on underground springs and nobody checked or proved that. They just dont want to honor their warranty for poor not up to code build.

We were promised that our home would be completed between October and December 2024. Pulte was fully aware that we had to move by the end of the year—had we known this timeline wouldn’t be met, we would not have proceeded with the purchase. Despite this, we were first told the completion date would be pushed to January 2025, then later to April 2025. When we requested to cancel the contract, Pulte refused, instead offering us a different completed property in the neighborhood, which we ultimately accepted. Unfortunately, just two weeks after moving in, we experienced a major water infiltration issue. While the home is under warranty, Pulte did the absolute bare minimum in addressing the problem, wasting weeks of our time. Every step of the way, we had to argue, escalate, and even hire outside consultants to ensure the work was done properly. Their handling of the repairs was riddled with mistakes, delays, and substandard workmanship, forcing them to redo the entire grading, drainage, and landscaping. I had to demand proper equipment, safety precautions, and sealing of affected areas, all while dealing with health issues from mold exposure and excessive construction dust. Three weeks into dehumidification, the flooring is still not dry, meaning demolition and restoration cannot proceed until the underlying issue is fully mitigated. We continue to have serious concerns about mold and air quality, which remain unaddressed. We paid a premium for a brand-new home, yet we still do not have full use of it. This has been an astoundingly bad experience, marked by broken promises, inadequate repairs, and ongoing issues that should never occur in a new home. Buyers beware. ... More

Horrible experience so far. These folk are the worse. Nothing is getting done in a timely fashion and nobody responds until you act a fool

my backyard is in bad shape. I have sent multiple messages and made calls to address this issue, but no one has responded yet.

I recently purchased a new home from Pulte Homes, and unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory. The quality of the home has been compromised significantly, and numerous issues have arisen. First and foremost, the purchase process was extremely stressful. Whenever Pulte Homes sent a document that required my signature, they marked it as extremely urgent and pressured me to sign it on the same day. They did not provide me with enough time to review the documents thoroughly and warned me that I would have to pay extra fees if I delayed. This high-pressure tactic left me feeling rushed and uneasy. Upon moving in, I noticed several quality issues. The garage floor is already chipping off, and sand comes off while walking on it. This is a serious concern, and I am worried about the overall construction quality. Additionally, the window frames have very little space, making it difficult to install window blinds properly. The carpet provided is of very low quality, which is disappointing given the investment made. Furthermore, the backyard & front yard has many potholes, and the sod was unevenly placed, leaving many patches and an unsightly appearance. Pulte Homes collected HOA fees for the rest of the year, but they did not select a vendor for lawn care for more than two months. As a result, no lawn maintenance was done for almost three months, yet HOA fees were collected for those months. To make matters worse, I discovered today that Pulte has provided wrong zip code in the closing documents. Now, I will have to connect with the law firm to get it corrected. Not sure how big is this change and how much hassle I must go through. In summary, my experience with Pulte Homes has been quite disappointing due to the compromised quality and the multitude of issues. I would caution potential buyers to thoroughly review all documents and inspect the property meticulously before finalizing their purchase. ... More
