Poor quality products/workmanship; deception

  • Alexandra W.

Pulte Sales misled me early on, costing me thousands of dollars. Low quality standards evidenced inside and outside of house. Contractors show no pride in their work, or interest in doing a good quality job. Pulte construction shows no interest in quality. They are incented to put the house up as fast as possible so Pulte can collect your money ASAP!!!

You don't get a lot of time for making your choices and they are somewhat limited but we are very happy with the design decisions we made. They handled the current supply issues very well and kept us generally ontime.

Excellent customer service from Jose, Jason and Luke!

  • Denis M.

  • Plymouth, MI

My wife and I are first time homeowners. Understandably, we were very nervous about the purchase and the new construction process. Jose, Jason and Luke went above and beyond to ensure that we were informed every step of the way. Most importantly, they made us feel comfortable with out decision. I would highly recommend engaging either or all of them in your own home purchase!

The people that were Pulte employees. Jennifer and Frank, went above and beyond.

Pulte met their deadlines, we’re helpful and patient in my dealings with them. Some of the outside work appeared a little sloppy and hurried. They responded to my concerns quickly. From start to finish they helped me navigate the daunting task of purchasing a new home for the first time by myself.

The poor quality of the materials and workmanship!

  • Katherine B.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • April 06, 2022
  • Rochester, MI

The contractor I worked with was great and responsive during the build, but the quality and workmanship was far below what is acceptable. If you pay over $500k for a condo, the cabinets should not be the same quality that you find at Walmart. The floor has severe squeaks and the paint job throughout the house is horrible. I am so disappointed in the overall quality.

Poor quality and bad customer care

The build quality is really bad. I had kitchen cabinets scratches, issues with engineering floor, interior door after house closing. The workers are lack of experience. I call the pulte customer care department ten times... I couldn't reach any people to talk with rather than leaving a voice message..

Pulte Homes - We had our house closing on 17th December after quite a few postponements.

  • Pavan G.

We had our house closing on 17th December after quite a few postponements. We happily entered our dream house with a sense of relief and belief as we got this from a reputed construction company. Within 48hrs of closing , during a family gathering, I heard a big sound and water came running from the roof ,making a puddle and dripping from the brand NEW house. Rushed to check but water was just pouring , ran up not knowing what to do, but couldn't find anything, our NEW roof was just leaking. Just be in our place and imagine our horror. Never heard anything like this from any new homeowners. ...

Frustrating and an overall disappointing experience

  • Michael B.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • March 14, 2022
  • Clinton Township, MI

While the work and communication with Elaine and Chad were quite good, watching the overall build process was very disappointing. The trade workers did not appear to show any pride in their work and their sole purpose was to get done as quickly as possible without any attention to detail. After move in it has been discovered that most of the products used are of poor quality. We are still waiting for resolution on an issue with one of the appliances that was in the unit. Not what we ordered and paid for. This appears to be coming to a resolution soon.

Never buy a home with Pulte - Everything is terrible

  • Hari-Vigneshwar R.

  • Novi, MI

They are not trustworthy in completing home with quality materials, my previous apartment home paint job was 1000 times better. Fit and finish of pulte sucks. they want to squeeze as much as from customers during the pandemic. Material shortage is just a play they want to do.

I am glad I waited a little while to do this review. Generally speaking I am unsatisfied. Even taking into consideration these very difficult times my condo buying experience was nothing close to a celebration. I have multiple issues some small but several that are significant and when I look at the whole picture it appears to me The process was hurried. When I look at the small mistakes that were done I begin to wonder about the workmanship behind the walls and under the floors. Several problems in These areas have already been identified and I hope will be appropriately resolved. I would ...

Our Pulte Experience (in the pandemic)

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • February 06, 2022
  • Canton, MI

Sales team was very helpful during initial contact but pushy and sometimes misleading at times up until closing. The design process was quick and easy and the women at the design center were extremely helpful. Building was delayed due to weather and pandemic shortages but overall an easy experience with good communication. Thus workmanship was good quality for the price but not completely finished. Attention to detail was definitely missed. Pulte made it impossible to use an outside lender but were not forthcoming about that until just before closing. Once we started the process with Pulte ...

I had previously lived in a Pulte Condo which I truly thought was a 5 rating - all I needed or wanted. This second time around - I would rate it inferior to what I enjoyed the first time. Realizing that the times now are different with great help hard to find in different areas, some of what I experienced could be understandable - but not all.
