Pulte Homes Reviews in Chicago, IL

Building process went very smooth. Would have been a better process if the sales associate was a little more knowledged on their homes.

The buying experience with Pulte on a new home was much better than I expected. Compared with buying an existing home on resale it was much more pleasant.

Process has been great so far with purchasing and construction. Some of the material quality provided is not so great.

Some items needed attending/repairs before closing. Already have nail pops in ceiling. Sloppy painting job.

Good Experience with Pulte homes

Construction Manager was great. The workmanship is ok. In a year I’ll know more.

Our experience has been a mixed bag. Pulte has been pretty good with rectifying issues with our service calls etc. But there have been lot of quality issues we have been needing to address. As long as expectations are tempered and you are patient in the overall process things will get done. Our construct has been a great resource for us throughout the process.

I am very happy with my purchase of a Pulte home. The sales rep & construction managers were great to work dueing the process.

During the buying process, Pulte has been keep me well informed about the progress so I can get everything prepared ahead of the time. Buying house is a very stressful process , especially if you also have to sell your existing house. It takes a lot of carefully planning. Pulte delivered the house on time, even though there's still couple times not done by the time we moved in, but that all been taken care of within couple weeks. In terms of build quality, overall I would said it's very good, there's always some minor issues. But that's true regardless if you buying a condo or a mansion. Pulte didn't deliver everything perfectly (doubt anybody could), but if you keep your expectation within reasonable range, you will be a very happy home owner. ... More

The house is very nice at a reasonable price.

ease of working through the down payment and closing process. Standards in place

Overall we had a good experience. We enjoyed the entire process of planning building our new home. The pulte consultation at the design center was a pleasant experience. The only thing I would like to have known was all the additional add on we could have received. Example gas line outside for a grille, additional outlets in the garage and outside. Being first time home buyers we did not have any experience in building a house.

Pulte has two great responsive Field Managers, Brandon & Alex, they were there to correct and still correct issues. Know exactly what you want and get want you want so when your home when it is completed, you'll enjoy. If Pulte doesn't have something you really want, don't settle, get it elsewhere so you can enjoy your home when you move in.

My community was built with many restrictions on choice of materials and amenities so the builder could take advantage of economies of scale. It’s good for the builder but a bit disappointing to the buyer. Otherwise all went well for me.

We love the house and the craftsmanship is incredible. The post sale responsiveness to a service tickets has been terrible and borderline unacceptable. Apparently caring about a customer after money is in the bank ends.

Very nice location and home

Paint on the outside doors is cheap. Everything else has been great.

Great people to work with. Quality of the material is not that great as compared to the price. Does lacks some finishes/touchups at the first place which were taken care once service request were created. Overall I am happy with Pulte. Would definitely recommend.

Field manager was outstanding with advocacy for the homeowner and responsive communication. Slower than expected sales reflect a less than ringing endorsement regarding the value for the price paid for this community. Reasonable quality of materials and workmanship overall, but some areas could have been better for the price of the house. Particularly disappointed that the drywall seams in the garage were not finished. Also, the double hung windows have a fixed upper half, making it extremely difficult to clean the outside. Also, the lack of outlets in the unfinished basement is troublesome. ... More

i am not completely satisfied about the house for the price i paid. i upgrade a lot of stuff in the house, and as soon as i moved in I found out a few things started chipping and peeling, i called, emailed, texted, it took a month for me the get answer and i got an attitude too. this is my second Pulte home, i have to say i am disappointed. And if i get another house, it will not be Pulte.

We purchased a house we both liked, had it built and are about to move in.

Not bad, a bit below my expectation.

It was overall OK experience in purchasing new home. Handing over home before exterior completion especially driveway and sidewalk is unexpected. But, I love the quality of work inside and their handover process. Quality of things used for smart home is questionable as some of them didn't work and not sure how it passed quality check

We love our new home. Plan on spending a couple hundred thousand more than the base price. The lot is not included. And everything is an upgrade. Everything!! If I was younger, I would have taken the included kitchen and tore it out to remodel after purchase. I’m just not up to living through a major remodel at this point. I do feel it is mostly a quality build, especially ventilation and structure. Service after close has been prompt but they were unable to resolve a faulty low quality kitchen pull out. The convenience kitchen package was not worth it. The only other thing that looks lower quality is the baseboard and the lack of shoe molding. We were notified that our selected backsplash was discontinued and they wouldn’t allow us to go to the showroom to pick another one. They wanted us to pick it from their online link. We decided to get our own after the build. For the same price, we got a much higher quality beautiful backsplash on our own. Overall, we are very happy with our new home. It was mostly a good experience. 90% positive. We have not had any major problems after 7 weeks living here. ... More

After moving, I realized that inside walls don’t have insulation at all. Voices and TV sounds are the echoing in entire home. Even water sound in bathroom is echoing in home. It’s very disturbing.
