Pulte Homes Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

Wood Hollow is a great community to live in. It is in a great location.

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

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.

Effective communication between me and the builder

Takes way to long to have problems adressed

After paying the deposit, it's hard to find the builder when you want to find it. I don't know why.

The overall process of Pulte's homebuilding experience was within our expectations, however the lack of communication and remaining open items that were addressed before closing, and continue to linger for over a month now are cause for concern. Communication throughout the entire build process was lacking which caused different issues and items to be addressed at the last second and remain open. All-in-all we love the house, we just wish there was more responsiveness from Pulte.

The quality of the home is great. The process was smooth from start to finish. Pulte prides themselves on warranty, in which they have yet to deliver. Everyone that I have chatted with that built with Pulte has the same experience. If you have items that need addressed before you close, do it then or beware it may not get fixed!

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

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

Our sales rep, Ryan, was a pleasure to work with and very responsive. However, it was clear that Pulte is stretching its staff too far based on the lack of responsiveness from the building crew. We have also had numerous issues crop up after move in and it has been very difficult to get a hold of the proper party to place a ticket for these issues. Also, our loan processor, Lorre, was a nightmare to work with as far as her organization and responsiveness to common questions. Our loan consultant, Ann, was awesome though! She was very helpful and responsive any time we had any small/big questions. ... More

I believe, given the state of the housing market, and the supply chain issues, it weakened Pulte’s ability to provide the product and quality home that we were expecting. It has been and still is a challenge to get a good quality finished, and completed home.

Zach was amazing to work with. Very thorough and always answered quickly!

The sales process went well; however, there should be better explanation of options and what exactly each option includes (or doesn't). The model home included some features that were not marked as options but were not included in my home's plan. For example, I purchased the optional spindles for the stairway, only to find out later, than only half the stairs would have spindles, although the complete stairway in the model had them. The home itself is beautiful, and I am satisfied with my purchase. However, follow-up deteriorated rapidly after closing. I understand there are labor and supply issues, but two months after closing some move-in punch list items remain unaddressed. And now I'm being told some things that were wrong at move-in now are "not warranted." For example, the landscapers planted a dead bush, which now is my problem. There are chips in the driveway that are "not warranted." I have not received the correct stove and a damaged microwave hasn't been replaced. I know there are appliance shortages, but I have received no information at all re an eta on these items. I think Pulte's outstanding reputation is slipping, probably due to some factors beyond their control. Don't get me wrong, overall the home is great and most workmanship is excellent. The devil is in the details. ... More

Homes layout is a hilltop which has a nice layout, however the quality of the home is poor, paint had many issues, drywall texture was cracking was supposed to be fixed before closing and only some of it was fixed. Sewer smell coming from all the sinks.

There are always issues after closing. Most are minor, but there isn’t great customer service or responsiveness after closing by construction manager. We are an afterthought. There should be a person on the construction side to make customers requests feel important post closing for all issues, especially the non warranty issues. Dropping the ball here is what dropped the score.

Pulte in Indiana builds some nice homes and we had a good experience with sales and Mortgage folks. Due to the skyrocketing home prices and Pulte trying to sell as much as humanly possible to get money, their workmanship went down quite a bit. Along with high turnover rates in their own employees on the construction side, it’s becoming a bit of a nightmare. If your planning to buy a pulte home, I would still recommend but understand you need a high level of due diligence and its best to get all their work double checked by outside parties.

House was rushed and lots of mistakes just ignored because they use different contractors. I still have tape on my walls and cabinets that was suppose to be taken care of before moving in. I keep finding issues daily since moving in a month ago. They are going to need to redo my downstairs flooring it’s that bad! The people you work with are super nice but they are overworked and can’t provide the customer service and project management required!

We purchased a build that already had its custom features selected by someone who was going to purchase but chose not to. There were a lot of things that were told to us about the home that turned out not to be exactly correct. Which we did not learn until after we moved in. The materials used inside the home are not top of the line as we were told. The cabinetry is mass produced and cheaply made. The LVP flooring that was raved about is Shaws cheaper LVP that scratches and scuffs very easily. The service was subpar as well the items that were suppose to be completed before closing were not and 2 months have passed and still we are waiting. We closed within a few weeks to help Pulte Homes meet a deadline to get house sold before new year, but we do not feel we have been taken care of. The home is not wired as a smart home it can be but was not and the vender we were given as a contact did not want to help us AT ALL with any upgrades or even share what had been done in the home! There is no blocking in the walls to hang the TVs. ... More

Visit the home as much as possible and stay on top of the Forman on how thing are going

1st week after closing the master bath floor started leaking. A big puddle in the kitchen from ceiling . I am not sure what kind of quality check happens before handing over the House.

The floor plans and value of the home is great, however, I feel like we weren’t updated throughout the home building process and kept in the loop regarding any delays/issues.

Sales rep ,after waiting for 9 months, when complained , started threatening to cancel the contract

Without these 2 men, the experience would continue to be a mess. Pulte is not a trustworthy company to be honest and you have to be on top of them at all times. These 2 men who are our construction team have been the buffer and the silver lining to the rest of what has happened. We were not given a pre foundation meeting we should have had due to yet another firing of a construction manager which seems to be rampant (our neighbor had 4!!) and without that meeting we had NO idea our home was going to A) be on a ski slope and B) be set so far back we lose have our yard. NONE of this was explained during that crucial meeting we were not given. Yet the Vice President of construction (we think that’s his title) who came out here literally was condescending and a real jerk to us when we were so upset about this. He just kept giving us the company line. The city of Westfield is also another story. They gave us a song and dance how they were “concerned” about our happiness and then talked out of 2 sides of their mouth when it really came down to it. We had heard prior the city was not “pro-homeowner” but this sealed the deal. Not the welcome we expected to a new city either. The house itself is too new to know what will and won’t happen. So far we have had some minor issues that the two men i mentioned have gone above and beyond to make sure they’re done right. But as far as Pulte itself? We’ve experienced both a production builder and a custom in the past we would not go this route again. Barely any choices except for shades gray or white on everything with one choice for cream or a weird unfinished brown. No choice on exterior doors or windows. No changes. Not any. So it’s not the dream home for the price we paid but things we can change. The Lot we cannot. If we recommended building to someone, it would not be this type of building as they have become too rote and rigid as “production” builders. But the attitude of what we believe was the VP if construction towards us has completely soured us during a brief meeting and his attitude towards us after. Could not recommend Pulte solely based on the experience of his take it or leave behavior. I’ve been in customer service for 27 years and I pay close attention to how I’m treated. These 2 men gave the BEST customer service and continue to. Pulte should be fully aware how amazing they are to their clients and their attention to detail. Good luck with the rest of the company. ... More

As a retired realtor, I found my experience to be quite stressful. The fact that we have been living in our new home for six weeks and we are still scheduling service calls to complete tasks that should have been completed correctly from the beginning is somewhat unacceptable. Had it not been for Austin, our construction manager, I would have totally lost it.
