Cheap quality products and bad customer service.

  • Nikhil K.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • Aurora, IL

I recently purchased a home from Pulte and have experienced numerous issues with the quality of the products and customer service. No one came out to repair the furnace in an emergency, leaving our house temperature to drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit for three days straight. I was troubleshooting over the phone. Additionally, there were condensation issues with the windows, which the builder refused to cover under warranty. Finally, there were no trims or molding on the basement stairs they had in other homes but decided not to do for my house. I was assured that all issues would be ...

The service we have received after we closed and PAID for the home has been terrible, actually it has been nonexistent.

No one should close and pay for their Pulte home until all the open issues noted during the final walk through the week before the closing have been completed.

I have bad experience with Pulte Quality of Building

  • Vittal E.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • October 05, 2022
  • Naperville, IL

I am experiencing multiple heater issues in my new house 1) getting big noise while running heater multiple times in a day in Flex room as well as powder room. Pulte management saying it's as per quality, I did check with multiple Willwood house owners and they are not getting any noise. 2) we need to wait 3 to 4 minutes every time to get hot water in master bathroom so we are wasting 15 to 20 minutes of water every day before shower.

Pulte Homes responded:
We were so disheartened to read your review as this is certainly not the experience, we want you to have. We'd really like an opportunity to discuss this feedback with you and try to make things right. Please email us at customersupport@pultegroup.com with a brief description of your concerns and your address.

The shoddy workmanship and lack of attention to detail were very disappointing. It seems as there were unqualified workers building my house and pulte construction personnel did not hold them to a high standard.

Very disappointed and terrible experience after closing

  • Amit B.

  • May 12, 2021
  • Vernon Hills, IL

Don’t fall prey their pre closing experience. They literally don’t care once closing is over. We closed the house without the driveway and landscaping and it’s been more 2 months and we still don’t have driveway and landscaping . I have sent multiple emails to PM but all I heard is an excuse that it’s delay due to weather conditions. They did driveway and landscaping for all the new house closed after us and pouring basement concrete for the new construction which is far from closing . The weather rule don’t apply to them. It’s unfair and disparate treatment . I never expected big builder ...

Very poor customer experience before construction and Poor service after construction.. One time.. the Sales consultant told me to get out of the Sales office without any reason when I was asking some clarification, Change on the plan, and Requesting some documents for lot premium..(How it would be decided and any rule or process followed to come up with the premium amount.) About the HOA... They have specified the 2 digit number all time till before Closing.. and they strike out the HOA amount and changed to 3 digit number just before signing that HOA page time of closing. During walk ...
