Pulte Homes Reviews in Chicago, IL

Pulte was very accommodating and responsive!

We had an overall good experience purchasing our home with Pulte. Throughout the process, the availability of staff was amazing and they answered our many questions. We were pleased that Pulte provides/partners with multiple services such as mortgaging and insurance. It helped make the process smooth as all of those parties can then communicate with each other. They also offered very competitive pricing in our situation. Some feedback I would give to new home buyers, especially in new construction, would definitely be to know what you want in a home, and what options are available for homes. The base structure of the home is very simple, so adding on options is almost necessary. The realtor does not know every single possible option (since there are so many), so it is definitely helpful to know what you are looking for. They have a list of available options handy, but even then, there are some options available that you can see if they can accommodate. In some cases, at least for our situation, there were items that overlapped each other and I feel like there could have been instances where we paid for two separate things, but really having one of them, covered the other (this happened a lot in the smart home aspect). Also, after moving in, there are some things where I think "oh I should have got that." But it wasn't something that was mentioned as an option, so it was hard to know everything in the beginning. The process definitely moves very fast. The craftsmanship was very good. They definitely put up a lot of quality homes, so they know what they are doing. Obviously mistakes can happen, so its important to speak up as soon as you notice an issue. I would say that there are some items that still need fixing after closing, but once you close, I feel like the responsiveness and timeliness of getting these things done definitely slows down as they are already on to the next house. ...

good home

Mostly a good experience, however no one has contacted me about the issues we did have, which is greatly disappointing.

Great experience with the entire Pulte team! Everyone is very responsive and helpful.

Very pleased with our new home and Joe and Trevor and the team. It was a great experience!

Bonnie and Dylan where very good to work with and they did everything in their power to make this a wonder experience!

Not bad, a bit below my expectation.

It was a pleasure working with Pulte Homes throughout the entire home building process. The Pulte team was easy to work with, responsive to questions and very helpful. If you’re looking to build a high quality, new home, I highly recommend Pulte. The company is truly a class act.

Our experience started out wonderfully but we ignored the fact this is not a custom builder. They are a first off quantity builder, meaning they build as many as possible as quickly as possible. They have a system that helps them achieve this. The home is delivered partially built to the site and put together like a puzzle. You cannot make changes, upgrades or choices outside of their guidelines. Quality is satisfactory but not outstanding, also craftsmanship varies according to quality of crews hired to work. We have lived in a custom built home where the builder took pride in his product, Pulte builds communities with houses that look nice. In order to get issues handled you have to submit them to a site, they forward to the apporioate person, you wait for that person to contact you to make an appointment to address your issue. If not an emergency you are asked to wait until your 11’th month walk through. Most of the people we worked with did their jobs well but they couldn’t do them extremely well because corporate rules/guidelines/regulations tie their hands. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, watch the process as closely as possible, and don’t expect your home to be perfect. We waited over 6 weeks for the foreman to bother to get around to taking care of our celebration walk through list and that’s only because we had to complain otherwise we’d still be waiting. ...

The process was so easy we were preparing for something to go wrong or get delayed. But we were pleasantly surprised when we closed earlier than expected. Highly recommend the Pulte Finance team too, they were awesome to work with and made it easy to understand our options.

The entire team was just phenomenal and our home is perfect!
