Pulte Homes Reviews in Louisville, KY

I had a great experience until after closing. Not all issues were resolved going to closing. Now it is like pulling teeth to get things fixed that should have been done already.

Overall buying experience was not great. We voiced our concerned with the boss on site (Darrian) and were told things will be done on time. The day we closed wasn’t really a “celebration” when we arrived to do our final walk of the home we found guys working on the roof, driveway was a mess, garage was a mess, painting wasn’t complete inside the home, we voiced our concerned about the temp difference between upstairs and downstairs and that wasn’t resolved, took forever for hot water to arrive throughout the entire home and he thought that was normal. So many other things went wrong and the overall buying experience was a complete disappointment to say the least. For Pulte not to have a “finish” product the day you close on your biggest purchase of your life is embarrassing. They had more than plenty of time to complete this home and make it a wonderful experience but they chose not too. Darrian has to learn to babysit grown adults and learn to verify if things are being done on time. He also has to take criticism and learn how to communicate better. Because he is the boss on site, he is responsible to make sure customers are satisfied and he failed. I wish him the best of luck and success in the future but he needs to be re-trained at his job. We just feel like we were let down when we shouldn’t have been because we tried to communicate and stay on top of things with everyone. Pulte was quick to take my money and down payment but were no where fast enough to make a great buying experience. The absolute worst buying experience of our life. ... More

We were forced to close on a home that wasn’t fully completed. We gave as much push back as possible to have the home completed prior to closing but Pulte threatened us with potential fines or complete cancellation of the contract (and keeping our down payment deposit) if we didn’t close on their timeline despite the home being incomplete. In fact, we were cornered by the sales manager with these threats at a walkthrough of the property. We were told they’d come back to complete the remaining items but haven’t received any correspondence on these items since closing. Still awaiting for items to be completed two months post closing. I’ve requested a warranty repair for some of these items but that process has been a nightmare to deal with as well… quality customer service & responsiveness is nearly non existent with this company. ...

Not the same quality that’s I was told

I closed on my new home on October 28, and I have yet to enjoy it. For a new construction, the number and severity of issues is absolutely unbelievable. The water heater has failed twice since closing. Because of this, my family and I have had to pay out of pocket to stay in a hotel for nearly two weeks, while waiting for repairs. I am now scheduled for a technician to come out on Friday, which will make it a full two weeks without hot water. No new homeowner—especially in a brand-new home—should ever experience this. Getting help has been extremely difficult. I had to chase the warranty department for responses and ultimately involve PWSC mediation just to receive assistance and proper communication with Pulte. During renovations, we discovered a bottle containing urine sealed behind the drywall, something I never imagined finding in a new home. We also found moldy, rotten lumber under the stairs. These issues were not visible during walkthroughs and were only discovered because we were able to get behind the drywall and see the actual workmanship. This has completely destroyed any sense of trust. If this is what was found where we could see, it raises serious concerns about what else may be hidden behind the walls. I am deeply concerned about my family’s health and safety, including the risk of breathing in mold and mildew circulating through the home. There are also electrical issues—every time I vacuum, the lights flicker, which strongly suggests faulty wiring and substandard construction. Overall, this home feels rushed and poorly built, with little regard for quality or safety. I was informed this was the construction manager’s last home before leaving for another company, and unfortunately, it shows. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others not to purchase a home with Pulte. A new construction should provide peace of mind—not hotel bills, health concerns, and constant battles just to get basic living conditions restored. ... More

Beautiful home, fast and smooth process

check the workmanship thoroughly before closing

This was supposed to be an exciting time of my life. Find my first house. It was absolutely horrible trying to close on the house. I’m still dealing with issues that Paul will not call me back about. The backyard has a drainage issue. The sod was not laid properly. For the money spent on this house I think it’s an absolute shame that nobody will respond back. I would not recommend this company nor would I buy another Pulte home that’s my experience.

It wasbtebble lies was told now having problems with getting a section of my back yard fix that their work truck ran over when building on the property behind me

The quality of the carpet, paint, flooring, and backyard work is poor. Even the chandeliers and taps installed are of a basic type. After signing the contract, it becomes very difficult to receive a response from the sales team, and after closing, it is challenging to get a response from anyone

I recently purchased a new home from Pulte, and while I appreciate the design and overall layout, I have experienced several quality issues since moving in. These include walls not being square, some doors not latching properly, misalignment with the microwave installation, and grading concerns in the yard. I hope Pulte takes these points into consideration to improve quality control and ensure a smoother experience for future homeowners.

Pulte makes new home construction affordable for middle class families who might otherwise not be able to, and I particularly appreciated that. That affordability means you'll sacrifice customization, but as long as you understand that trade off, you probably won't be disappointed. There were a lot of small things that could have been done or approached a lot better, but overall I wouldn't say not to go with Pulte, especially if you need a larger home. For the price, it's worth the small annoyances.

I have bought 4 homes in my life. This was the most stressful and horrible experience, I would stay clear if you are looking to be excited and not be lied too. After the horrible experience with the buying process, now I have been waiting since May for the HOA approval for our fence for our back yard. It just never gets any better. Dough & Mellisa was great, The Rest is a different story & experience.

Builder did a terrible job then showed up at my house everyday asking me to give him a 9-10 rating. When sod was put down the crew put sod over a bunch of garbage after I told the builder to make sure the garbage was picked up. Door frames in the house are not flush, lots of pencil makes on the walls where they circled nail spots to fix but never fixed them. Found cigarette butts in the basement where workers were smoking in the home. Drywall has lines and grooves. For $400,000 this home should be perfect but it is not. I would like someone from Pulte to reach out so we can resolve these issues. ... More

The home buying and closing experience was fast and seamless.

Overall we are happy with the home. However, the more time we spend on our home, the more realize that the builder materials and workmanship isn't exactly as we expected. Paint is basic and cheap. Landscaping have issues that they don't agree to fix in full. We are starting to notice concrete issues as well that they want to patch up but to me it seems it's just covering bigger issues with the concrete.

Pulte and Pulte mortgage were very helpful in our entire process. We can say that your people were very professional from Dawn in sales to our final project management team. No real issues or problems were encountered!

Fair at best. Typically, no response unless repeated messages sent over days. Also, the various workers did not take pride in their work. They just wanted to get the work done as fast as possible and not make an effort to do a good job.

My experience is not satisfactory with pulte, regretting now that i should gone with other builder. Very poor quality house ,didn’t do house quality check properly before closing, made me to hurry in closing rather than concentrating on fixing issues in home . Pulte should concentrate on their quality of building to give trust and confidence to customers rather than concentrating in making goals in number of homes closed in an year.

Excellent experience through the buying and after purchase. Communication about loan status could have been more frequent.

They were very informative and kept me updated every step of the way. Buying a new home was stressful, but I had the best help through the whole thing!

It was well worth waiting for!! I could not be happier with my beautiful new home! Chris building manager was great also if he told you he was gonna do it, he did it! Love that!

Purchasing a home with Pulte and using their mortgage provider was overall a pretty smooth process. I do feel as if some areas could have improved craftsmanship (electric wiring to light switches that just doesn’t make sense, screws missing in several places, lumps in flooring, paint missing on ceiling in one room, gaps in wall under shower window, just a variety of small items that we’ve noticed here and there), but overall a pleasant experience. Our construction manager changed between 3 different people, but our final contact, Chris, was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and always responsive. He truly made the experience worth it and from that sense, we highly recommend. This was our first home purchase so we have nothing to compare it to, but we are pleased. ... More

They build on time and delivered a quality home as promised and nice to work with Pulte

House is very good condition and most of the stuffs are working properly. minor issues with the workmanship. In the construction side still have to work on the street improvements as the facilities are not showing as a new neighborhood.
