Pulte Homes Reviews in Boston, MA

There is no light in the toilet room. They placed a handicap bar behind the toilet, that is of no help to my husband. The towel bar is in the toilet room and not next to the sink. There is a 6 inch border going into the shower so it is not handicap accessible. The cabinets are made of some material that is not wood. The toilet paper holders are plastic. The appliances are the cheapest and bottom of the line you can find anywhere. The "gathering room" is a misnomer as it can only accommodate 3 people. They did not have a model to see before buying, only a floor plan and misleading photos which were truly inaccurate. When we moved in the elevator broke and we had to put half of our stuff in storage . The next week they replaced the elevator doors. We still do not have a recycling room set up in the basement so I have to drive to the other dis of town to get rid of my recycling. The fire alarm went off twice in one week and the building had to evacuated (my husband is handicapped and we are on the third floor, it was terrifying). The single kitchen sink is huge, 30 inches long, wastes a lot of counter space. You have to take your house key and fob everywhere, even to the trash room on your floor which for some reason is locked (why???). Honestly it feels like we are living in a hotel and does not feel like home. I submitted warranty issues that needed to be addressed and other than getting a confirming e-mail response, have not heard from anyone: it has been weeks. Sales team and site manager are great; these concerns a quality and design issues. Sales team helped carry stuff up the stairs when the elevator broke. These are mainly design and quality issues. We are very disappointed. ... More

My title says it all. Cookie cutter homes and less than cookie cutter service.

I haven’t reported issues, yet. I am on the first floor with what I was told single hung windows and I am freezing. Blinds and shades didn’t help much. I don’t understand vents in the ceiling when everyone knows heat rises. I wish with all my heart I could write you a great review.

This was not our first experience with new construction which is why we do appreciate that our home was well built. But the demeaning manner in which Pulte treats its customers is appalling. They can delay, delay, delay and lie about the reasons but fine you $500 a day if you can't make the closing date they finally are willing to show up to. Post-sale, the responsiveness to repair issues has been inconsistent. Problems that they have addressed were properly resolved. But there is little communication on open items

Poor job of painting throughout entire unit. Some walls look as if the paint brush was to dry. Kitchen cabinets as well as some closet doors have some spots, scratches, small cracks, and uneven paint finish. Was not told that top window does not tilt in to wash. How can we wash them especially if it it’s difficult to take screen out. One of the planks on wooden floor is lifting So very disappointed, thought that Poulte had a reputation as a fine builder that is why we bought looks as if that is not the case at least with our unit. Would be helpful if we could get some feedback as to why this happened (where they short of help and had to rush to finish) ... More

Point blank, I have had a plumbing problem since I moved in related to the loud, grating noise in the master bathroom each time the toilet flushes upstairs of my unit. This challenge has awakened me in the middle of the night and in the early morning for over a month, and I am not a light sleeper. I called/contacted all of the people needed to help me according to the papers given to me, and it is only today after making many calls and sending numerous (nearly daily), over a month since I moved in, that the contracted plumber finally contacted me and made an appointment. It has been very discouraging, to the point that I considered selling and moving out of my condominium. ... More

Poor communication. Few things that were promised (like insulating all the walls of basement ) were not done. Poor quality of material at few places. Poor carpet work.

Sales does not disclose issues with the apartment complex adjacent to Martins landing. Our HOA fees pay for a doggy park for Edgewood apartments, dogs from Edgewood urinate and defacate on our common areas damaging the sod and bushes. Apt renters do not pick up after their dogs in our common areas and harass Martins Landing owners. Dartmouth Group refuses to enforce the Condominium rules and regulation, they ignore e-mails sent by unit owners of violations. The whirlpool appliances included with your purchase are of poor quality and have lots of issues . Wait period for fixes up to 3 weeks. Many frustrated new unit owners. . ... More

Very bad quality of work done, specially the floor

Be very careful to get all the details that may help you make an informed decision to by . Poultry has a policy of not availing things you need to know before you go to p&s and contract to by. If I was made more aware I would not have done business with them.

I wish i could give no stars but the review has to be submitted and so gave that one. The cheapest quality of home for the price paid and staff makes sure to give you enough pressure from the time dealing with sales agent to closing and beyond. Never again, can find such dreadful experience.

What i feel is there is no QC or oversight after the contractors working on different parts of the home and the owner is responsible to find out those in 1 hour of walk through. This should not be the case for brand new homes, the bath tub was damaged, sink had scratches, the cabinet doors are rattling, wood flooring is chipped and stripped, brand new garage door opener making more noise then my previous 20 year old house, the weather strip on the garage door opener is stripped. These are not all the issues reported. Pulte representatives keep saying we build quality homes, i am at a loss to understand how can a brand new home have so many very obvious issues, if you report some of them after move in they will not even honor those. After raising service requests, its been told we will have to wait till Covid is done, but they service some of the other homes. ... More

Absolutely not satisfied and utterly disappointed with the Sales team, build materials and consistency of quality throughout the community. The cabinets chip, nails protrude all over the carpet, incorrect granite or I must say no guidance on how the granite looks if we chose one. We never got our pre-construction meeting. Our neighbors have all the upgrades they wanted as they went one sales team member, when we asked for upgrades we were given a take it or leave it attitude. We paid 780 for a home that we don’t see has that value. Absolutely aggravated and agitated. Knowing Pulte was a national builder we chose to go with it even though of the price thinking we would get premium material for our upgrades but utterly dissatisfied with what has been offered. We would never recommend anybody to buy a home here. ... More
