Pulte Homes Reviews in Atlanta, GA

Matt the Fowler worst construction manager

David H was awesome! Constantly kept me updated the whole process. Took lots of pictures and sent along every step . You could see he truly loves his work and strives for perfection

I bought a quick move in home that was already half way completed when I got it. It took two months for the builder to complete the home and during that process I did not receive much updates on the progress. The day of closing they were still trying to rush finishing the home and installing things like windows or doors. I identified several issues in quality and poor workmanship in the the finishers, paint, materials. I pointed it out the builder whose promised to fix everything within 30 days, and since then it has been 2 months and I never heard from the construction manager again and they transferred all responsibility to the warranty team. Paint inside the home is cracking in several areas, doors are not aligned, floor is cracking, landscaping wasn’t done and looks very abandoned, etc. I am not happy with the quality of the home and do not believe I received the value I paid for. ...

They distract you from the big issues before closing. Then once you close everything has to go through warranty. Don’t close without a professional at your side

We had a water leak in the office room downstairs. We put in a warranty claim. The initial response was very fast which we appreciated it. The leak was fixed and stopped quickly. However, we’ve been waiting for more than a month for the drywall and the carpet that were damaged to be fixed. This should not take this long. My wife works from home and uses this office for work. We are having a very bad experience with the warranty issues to be completed in a timely manner. It is very disappointing.

should have finished the garage.

Sales pitch was excellent but after that all that we saw was 1. Poor quality of workmanship 2. Don't care attitude from construction teams and sales team 3. Terrible experience working with Pulte Mortgage (Lied saying they would match the rate but ate up the time for the rate to go up) 4. Did not even care to fix all the issues reported before closing 5. Did not even care to hand over the keys after closing Made us feel that why did we even choose this builder. Regretting till now looking at their worst quality, workmanship and experience with Pulte team. My 2 cents for any buyers in future, DO NOT trust Pulte team as they are one of the biggest builder, do your detailed followup and question them every step of the process (almost every week) make them accountable for issue starting from sales team to construction team & closing team if not you will end up having bad experience for sure. ...

Let me start by saying on Pulte Group’s Built to Honor website they brag about how much they take care of veterans and yet I have 30 years of honorable service. My Sales Agent never explained the contract. Never told me once the frame is on the house I get no options. This house was supposed to be my retirement home after 30 years of military service and 4 deployments. Thought I would have options buying new construction and my Sales Agent never explained any options and said that I never came back to her office to go over the contract…well I’m active duty Army and assigned to Hawaii and I was going through my medical retirement process and trying sell house in Virginia and buy house in Georgia. I’m financing a house for almost $500K and Pulte Sales Agent don’t have the common courtesy to email or pickup the phone and provide bare minimum customer service. I thought I was buying a house at a different lot and during the walk thru I told the builder this is not the house I picked because it has a different backyard and here is the picture I took of the backyard and the Sales Agent embarrassed me by saying to me and my mom “something is wrong with y’all memories.” A $500K house and this how a Pulte Sales Agent addressed me. Thought I was getting a 5BD and 4 1/2BA and there is no half BA. Never got the option to get a covered back patio. Also, can someone at Pulte explain to me why I have 4BA and 6 linen closets. I do not have any towel racks or toilet paper holders and Pulte wants me to pay $400 after closing. My Sales Agent never explained to me what comes with a gourmet kitchen. I said I wanted white or brown cabinets and ended up with a gourmet kitchen. Please explain the difference between the white or brown cabinets. Also, I was told by the Sales Agent it’s a $5 earnest money, which I paid the day I looked at the house. She asked how much of a down payment I wanted to pay and I said $20K or $30K and somehow I ended up paying $25K of earnest money I couldn’t get back because I sent and email to the Sales Agent and my loan agent, which she was just as bad as the Sales Agent. As someone who has worked HR for 30 years in the military you don’t hand or email someone paperwork and tell them to sign it and don’t explain it. Plus I tried telling the loan agent I’m still active duty and I don’t qualify for the veterans benefits until 31 JAN 2023 and yet my loan agent tells me she is going to process my loan as if I’m a veteran and the VA said I was disqualified for the exemption regarding the lending fee. Plus the Sales Agent said I can do a pay down option for two years, which I told my loan agent and she never took the time to explain that option to me. My loan agent yelled at me over the phone because I sent and email to the Sales and Loan agent stating I refuse to attend the closing because I nobody takes the time to explain anything and tell me the why on what’s going on. I will admit my Sales agent did call and explained some of the details about the loan, but I never had good feeling and feel like Pulte has taken advantage of me. I’m hurt that I wasted my time with Pulte and I did not get my retirement home. I will NEVER recommend to and military personnel to buy a Pulte home. Plus I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and calling Clark Howell at Channel 2 Action News here in Atlanta and let him know this one veteran Pulte provided poor customer service and I wished I had bought a Ryan’s Home. Ryan homes are better quality and hopefully I can win the lottery so I can payoff this Pulte home I don’t want and move into a better quality home, which is a Ryan home because Ryan explain the options and explain the loan process. ...

Have many problems in the home since day 1 of moving in, New Dishwasher drain not setup- water clogged, master bedroom door not closing, most of the second floor squeaks all the time (it feels like a used home not a new home), carpets loose, stairs squeaking, poor quality microwave, closet door not closing,

Poor quality construction . Not worth for money . Materials used are very bad . Design and architecture issues .

I told him there was a defect at home, They didn't improve quickly, therefore the problem got bigger, They don't respond quickly. I started to regret buying this house.

Following closing Pulte does not respond to calls and emails for problems found in the home within 2 months post move in…basement water damage, buckling vinyl plank flooring, external GFCI not working preventing proper use of irrigation system controls, automatic garage door stopped working, backordered thermostats. These are just a few of the items.

I have sent numerous emails including photos displaying the poor workmanship, quality of materials and responsiveness to resolve issues that were identified during several walkthroughs and should been completed prior to closing, One may ask, "Why did you close?" Pulte strong arms buyers into closing after receiving the right to occupancy. Beware of the monetary penalty if you fail to close on their preset date in the contract.

Worst experience, poor quality.

Pulte as National builder has not lived upto the expectation. They are taking the buyers for a ride with no good overall buyer experience when buyers are putting their hard earned money into their dream homes.PULTE is taking them for granted right from start of the buying process - Sales, building and closing. Everything is rushed with very or no execution support and the owners are kept in dark with out any due support that they are expecting. Spoke with several existing and new owners that are coming to this NORTH COVE community and they are buying these houses to have a roof over them and that is driving the drop in quality and workman ship. Over all it is a very bad experience and PULTE leadership team needs to retrospect if this is really sustainable and help buyers . ... More

Everything is still broken Kitchen is flooded with no response Boxes and bags of loose drywall compound left on floors and in closet has caused sickness and hundreds of dollars of cleanup Still missing basic things like door knobs Ridiculous

After the closing of this house, problems started to appear. Doorbells, internet cables, air conditioners, and other minor problems were resolved, but they did not keep their promise until today. AC still has problem. I don't know when they will come to check and resolve it.

Look elsewhere if you are interested in buying a great home !!!

The quality of the house and the finishes were extremely bad, in addition to the numerous delays and the closing date it was postponed several times, causing a lot financial damage.

I can’t even begin to explain the issues that I’ve had with my home. Pulte apparently uses day laborers that are unskilled to do work in the houses because the workmanship is horrible and there’s no accountability and apparently no one following up with anybody on the quality of work that is being produced. Very disappointing

I am disappointed with my experience with Pulte, specifically the project managers for construction and the lack of follow through when bringing concerns to their attention.

Purchase my home 43 days ago and i'm still waiting on maintenance issues to be completed. AT&T could not connect my internet because the holes they run the cables through are clogged up. Pulte has no urgency to fix issues once you have closed on your home. If things are not fixed or I am not contacted soon I will be making my 2nd BBB complaint. If I paid for a brand new home regardless the price I do not want to deal with issues right after closing.

Poor workmanship, untrustworthy, unresponsive to all issues

This was by far my worst home buying experience. I will never purchase another Pulte home, the workmanship was extremely bad for the price paid. The builders, contractors and warranty department were extremely untrustworthy and not willing to make their errors right without me putting up a fight.
