Pulte Homes Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

Overall experience was great. Project Manager was attentive and professional. He worked very hard to meet and in some cases, exceed our expectations. House was completed on schedule with minor punch list items.

This was our first time building a new home and I feel like Pulte did a great job making sure we understood time lines and expectations.

The experience has been more of adventure than business. It was smooth with the builder.

There was some hiccups because of COVID-19, otherwise everything was fine

Build time was 4-4 1/2 months. Some mistakes were made but were immediately address. Size and quality of the home, compared to other builders is a better value. Mike our contact was hard working and very responsive.

Pulte home is good but there’s difference between one community to other. Some of the non standard options are giving easily in other pulte community in Indianapolis but not in HuntersRun. It’s big fight with sales team. For example customer don’t have the choice to choose bulbs type, they’ll give only soft white, will not agree to change.

Good experience with you .

RD Need better toilets. Already replaced one

Very responsive team but the sales rep was overbearing and unclear often. The PM was nice and easy to work with. The main issue is workmanship. They subcontract everything out and don’t even oversee the work. Very shoddy and even when we did the post blue tape walkthrough they ignored 50% of it. They’ll blame the buyer for not “catching it” but in reality they just ignored it to save cost/time.

There is always room for improvements on finishing.

Working with Pulte was generally very easy. We LOVE our new home. There were just a couple of issues during the build. They were weirdly unwilling to tell us where things like light switches and electrical outlets were going to be located. These are standard floorplans (but don't call them cookie-cutter, that really offends them...) so there has to be a standard electrical diagram, but they refused to let us see it, much less have a copy. Other builders I've worked with have provided such drawings as part of the new home info packet. Secondly, we closed in early spring, and as of this writing we've been here two months, and we still don't have a lawn. We were told we'd have it in 4 - 6 weeks, but that didn't happen. We've seen virtually no activity on lawn installation at any of the dozen or so occupied homes in our subdivision that don't have lawns yet. The two or three spec homes that Pulte built and are trying to sell of course do have lawns. These are annoyances rather than showstoppers, I would build with Pulte again. ... More

Jayne was awesome. The mortgage team was okay, sometimes rude. Jason was okay, very helpful up until I told him I finished the review he asked me to fill out positively for him. Then he got less responsive and dismissed what to me was a glaring defect in one of their repairs.

We were early into our house hunt and we found a Pulte new community that would be close to school and other amenities. The price was higher than expected possibly due to location. The sales rep was honest and helped us chose the upgrades that we needed. Design appointment was excellent and Abby did a fantastic job, my only feedback would be to see if weekend appointments can be arranged as we had to take day off work to make it. Work was on schedule but we felt a bit rushed at times which likley caused some build quality issues. Large crack on foundation was not expected but we were told was safe and within tolerable limits, although most of our neighbors mentiiend that they didn't have such cracks. Frmaign material looked of poor quality with numerous cracks and blemishes, specially compared to other newer builds that was happening in the same community. Again we were told that within tolerable limits, may be we just got a bad batch. Small blemishes in final finish some of them were nti taken care of, as we were told it is within contractor grade quality. But we expected a more premium finish for the price. Finally as we are two months in moving in, landscaping probably was the worst part of the build quality and it is not under warranty. Poor quality gradign with no top aoido and grass never came out in the backyard. Had to invest a fortune to fix the backyard and front yard sod. Overall, I would say a decent experience. Buy my next house o would probably custom build, as we had little control over the quality of materials and workmanship. I would likely not recommend to my friends. ... More

Construction manager changed last minute so very little continuity in support. Closing date was also randomly set without any room for negotiation which was ridiculous.

We are among several new homeowners who do not yet have our sod. We were somewhat disturbed to see completed, but yet unsold homes get sod prior to our lots. It is not a good look for your company. It is not the way to treat your customers.

The front office personnel was rarely in office. I called Pulte to schedule time to visit the model home and was finally able to speak with a rep. The first rep took a first glance and assumed we couldn’t afford our home. Judged us almost immediately. It went downhill with this guy. However Maitlyn was a breath of fresh air. She answered all questions and very outgoing. They say if you don’t have anything good to say don’t say anything at all. I’ll say Pulte Finance is abysmal. That’s putting it lightly. From the reviews of Pulte Finance, we knew to already have a backup plan. Overall experience was ok. If it wasn’t for Maitlyn and our Home Construction manager Conner, we would’ve ran from Pulte. ...

We moved recently to a new home built by Pulte. The house is fully functional, but Pulte could have done a much better job on details...there are too many scratches on the walls and doors, some unfinished parts etc. We tried to be very careful at the final inspection and we still missed many small details. Not enough towel supports in bathrooms, cheap faucets and shower...for the money we paid, we would have expected a better quality of work but when you build 20 houses in the same community and the same time, of course we are not paying attention to the details that are very important for customers. ... More

Overall the house is built well. I would encourage anyone to be picky and don’t let things slide just because it’s a new house. The finish work was just ok. And the attention to details was something to improve on. I would use them again with a more diligent approval.

Great customer service and resolve the issue quickly. Exterior quality is fabulous.

From start to finish, there was miscommunication, incompetency, incomplete information from Pulte. They said they would fix things and do things properly, and this was not the case. Within all the Pulte departments, there was poor communication where we showed up to close and we couldn’t even finish closing as Pulte was waiting to hear back from someone about something needing fixed….which Pulte builder construction manager was well aware of needing fixed in advance- and due to them doing things last minute and rushing, we had to sit and wait at Pulte offices to be able to finish closing. They didn’t have the proper information ready at purchase so we were told our home would come with certain things, then come to find out it would all be extra charges. Not impressed at all with David. ... More

good communication through out process.

Our sales rep was wonderful! Our project manager was great. Everything else is average at best. Paid a premium but don't feel like we got what we paid for. Pulte also goes for the cheapest things possible to keep their profit margins high. Would not recommend as my #1 choice

Very poor response to many issues. Hot water issues appliance issues. We need for somebody to follow up now

I have good experience working with Sales consultant, her name is "Kristen Fatt" and the Construction manager "Logan Coffey-Lumpkin", appreciate their work in building my home and its been 1 month I moved to dream home still I see the concerns like water leak from the windows and the issue has been escalated to Pulte customer service rep - Chase and I know he is looking in getting it resolved and I would request Pulte to take care of the issues getting them resolved. other observations in my home are like there is a skin/chip layer on the Vinyl floor panel is broken and Pulte is not responsible to have it fixed, also door knobs with locking is not put in the other 2 bedroom doors, along on the carpet I feel sharp nails are hurting while walking on the steps and in the living area, I have a small kid who is crawling and worried the safety of my kid because of it. ...

In the end, forced for taking the closing on the same day when city inspection happened. Even the sales team put a fine; not sure why. Minor issues were not resolved despite my reminders. Pulte should improve the process for Closing day after the home completion. Third party home inspector was not given an exact home completion day; he came thrice. Pulte internal Quality process - BTQ- not sure when they did after completion.
