Unusual Experience

- Dumfries, VA
We were impressed with the design and spec of the house and decided to go with Pulte vs. other builders during the pandemic. Once we sat down, we recognized several red flags but went ahead because we needed a place. The first one was the premium for the lot. We asked for an estimate of a property next door and the price difference was outrageous. It wasn't a few hundreds but a more than ten thousand with less options than our current lot. Then, they wanted to charge us for LED lights that we later found out it was standard. Then they reduce the points for the Realtor once they found ...

Great looking homes but not so great to live in

Pros: - Appearance and layout of home - Sales staff and build manager are responsive, informative and easy to work with - Base selection options (appliances, cabinets, flooring etc) were generally all decent quality - Builder's mortgage was competitive and great to work with (always shop around other loan estimates) Cons: - Horrendous impact sound insulation. If you have neighbors, especially upstairs/downstairs you WILL hear every footstep, door opening and cabinet closing they do. I can't emphasize enough how poor the sound insulation is, I would be more than happy to pay a higher sales ...

There was a serious lack of creativity when it came to figuring out the siding delay. It was very frustrating! Not to mention that communication did not come from the top down. It’s important that customers know that companies care; not just the sales people.

I wish Plute’s sale person could have provided truth rather than misleading information to convince the customers to buy the condo. For example, I was told by the sale that the building will be using Pulte patent structure and we will not hear noise from upstairs. It turns out not true, I can hear neighbors above me walking around their rooms. If the sale did not exaggerate, I will buy the unit on the top floor. I asked the sale if I could have hardwood floor instead of carpet for the bedrooms. He told me that it is not an option item, but I can always change to hardwood floor after moving ...

I can preface this with "should have gotten everything in writing", but in the moment easier said than done. Our experience started off great with a sales person telling us everything we wanted to hear, immediately after signing to start construction the experience began to degrade. Communication in the beginning was horrendous. All of the meetings we were told would be scheduled(in regards to construction) never were, unless we called endlessly to schedule them. The field managers were great during the build process but the quality of work was sub par. It appears that all of the contracts ...

My problem started with Pulte during the constructions of the house July 2019. First the wrong flooring was installed and it took about a month with the back and forth before they admitted that the wrong flooring was installed. The AC vents in two rooms were covered by dry wall, I had to do multiple follow up before it was corrected. The repairs that we were promised during the initial walk through were not touched on the final walk through. We were promised that the repairs will take place after and it would be up to our satisfaction but forget about it. The workmanship the use is poor and ...

I thought the home materials were good quality. Not even a month after moving in the bathroom sink basin got a big Crack. Pulte is unable to fix it because it didn't happen during closing. I doubt I'll buy a Pulte home again. Everyone should beware and pay close attention to the finishes if choosing Pulte.

This is the 3rd new home that we have purchased in the last 10 years or so. Initially, everything sounded great and it seemed as if Pulte truly stood behind what their employees said. Now we are noticing too many issues with the craftsmanship and no one giving a solution to the repairs needed from a water leak. There has been a hole in our main floor roof for almost 3 weeks now and we are told that someone needs to come assess the situation AGAIN next week. Most of the craftsmanship issues are misalignment of cabinets/drawers, door latches and hinges, and french doors. Also making cuts too ...

The overall quality of the craftsmanship in the home is poor. While I understand the house needs to settle and some of that will result in cosmetic changes, these things shouldn’t be happening after less that two weeks after settlement. The molding is separating from the wall in almost every area of my home. Additionally countertops are separating from the wall, my dishwasher racks were not property aligned, and I had to do multiple walkthroughs in order to ensure that basic expectations for painting and finishing touches were completed before I moved in. The response was very relaxed as if ...

The house has many issues. We contacted the builder, but no response. We brought the couple of houses from other builders. They were somehow good to bearable. The Pulte is the worst and not following through the issues. I am very dissatisfied. I will never recommend Pulte to get the dream house.

The sales consultant and construction folks were very responsive and thorough but the quality and workmanship is so, so poor. After closing there were areas that were not painted that we did not catch, the stairwell started chipping, the railings were crooked, things that were promised at the walk through were not followed up on. The worst part is that I had a leak in my basement that wet a large area of the carpet and now the dry wall has been cut to look for the leak and it’s been almost a month and nothing has been fixed. I went over a list of items that needed to be fixed because it was ...

The mortgage that we have to use in order to receive the incentives, is terrible at best. These house get built so fast they lack details, all the house are the same, the walls are not sanded well, and paints is patchy. Adding things like a dish-wash dispenser next to The sink faucet or soft closing option doesnt cost alot but these touches would make the home buyer feel like it wasnt just a wood box and pulte put it together. I bought an NV home before and I will always go with NV from Now on. By the time the home buyer pays off the house, it would cost million or $1.5 mil, put a ...

I should have known dealing with Pulte was going to be a disaster from day one. From the very initial VIP phone call, all the way through the entire almost 18-month process has been nothing but a disaster and lies. Pulte only cares about the money and does not care about their customers or doing the right thing for its customers. Pulte manipulates and twists things around and takes advantage of their clients. They are greedy and they are unethical. I have more faith and trust in a used car salesman than I do dealing with Pulte. I would never suggest or recommend anyone have a home built by ...

Make sure you get your price in writing, and signed. I was given a price, paid my deposit, then got a call the next day saying they were increasing the price by $10k, take it or leave it. Since they never countersigned, they had a legal right to do this and they would not budge. Clearly, profits took priority over customer service and integrity.
