Pulte Homes Reviews in Minneapolis St. Paul, MN

It was a awesome and beautiful experience.

Overall experience was great! We worked with Drew, Josh (contractor) and Scott (mortgage). We are first home buyer. Things went much smoother than we expected. Everyone was professional and prompt to reply. We love our beautiful home. There were minor cosmetic finishes that could have been better. They did fix them. Overall, we got a beautiful home and we are very satisfied with the investment.

From Carolyn in sales to Mark the build manager… amazing experience!

Never again! Rushed cheap low quality

1. Vents making noise and pulte says they cant do anything. Cant sit in that room and do anything. 2. Bath flushs, and shower making so much noises that you hear on whole house. If someone goes bathroom in night, flush can wake others in different room. Bad Bad design 3. Staircases railing making noise, Windows put on wrong spots 4. After closing super bad customer service.

We enjoyed the experience of buying our first Pulte home and liked the option to pick our selection choices.

Our home buying experience was not the best, our loan officer was not much help with questions, our builder accidentally nicked a water line and created water damage all along our bottom main floor weeks before closing and did not disclose the information with us. They have not gone above and beyond to remedy the situation due to their lack of communication.

Pulte offers low basic house quality and tries to push for upgrading. Example, they offer only two basic paint colors including white. If you choose the other color (not white), the wall and the ceiling will be painted with the same color. Because it is not common to have the ceiling painted with a color other than white, Pulte push the seller to upgrade or choose only white. Many of my neighbors including myself would prefer to by our house from Lennar if it has a better locations and lots. I believe that Lennar offers better quality houses, with great exterior designs with good prices.

Responses and resolution to service requests takes longer

Process was very straight forward and easy

They are great at communicating with you until you have completed buying the house. Then things aren’t as great. I would say 5 stars until you own the house and then 3 stars out of 5 after that. They have a great pitch about their warranty process and how it works but from my experience with that part of it they can do better.

From purchase leading to closing I felt it was a good experience. However, upon closing I felt the celebration was not a celebration as the home wasn’t fully ready. House was dusty, dirty, not cleaned, paint touch up needed and was not presentable for a ready move in. Upon moving in I did experience nails poking people’s feet around the carpet area, which I questioned the quality of work. Having said that the thing most affecting the rating is related to the “fungus” gnats issues I’m been dealing with since moving in. I was told pest and bugs are home owners problem. However, I did not caused it. Nonetheless I did everything from cleaning my house, windows, spray store bought solutions as well household solutions on the gnats. These were only temporary. The gnats continues to be swarming around my windows and house. Upon further inquiry I was told, though rare, these type of gnats are caused by the soil the home is build on. The recommended solution by Pulte was to pour bleach in the drain. I would think that if you value your customers, you would want to get ahead of this before the issue become bigger rather than washing your hands of this. My neighbors all have this issue and we all reported it. ... More

The team was informative when we asked questions. When we asked for help and services, they readily provided service and assistance.

Has been a good experience but, now that moved in, the things that still need to be done are not getting done very quickly. I hate that window screens have small openings in them. Loads of little bugs come in at nite b cause they are drawn by the lights. Ugh.

The most worry-free home buying experience!

We really appreciated the organization of the planning and buying process. Additionally, the communication from the project managers helped us stay in loop about our home.

Heidi in sales was great! Always heard back quickly!

Excellent customer service and quality builds!

I will recommend this builder

Brian was so helpful with the whole buying process.

Many defects surfaced as soon as we took possession of the home and the home was being lived in.

We were very excited to buy a new home from Pulte, but unfortunatelly our experience has not been very pleasant. We had a defective range that leaked gas the first time we cooked. In fact, the range had been fixed for a different defect prior to our close. It has been a lenghty and exhausting process to finally get to the point where it will be replaced. We are waiting for it to arrive. There were multiple little issues with drywall, cabinets, paint, fireplace, chipped lighting fixtures etc. Most have been resolved, but it's quite disappointing to see these things were missed or considered "acceptable" through quality assurance inspections. Thank you for the opportunity to express our experience. ... More

From office manager to field manager, we felt each one took an interest in our investment and our personal interests and concerns.

Nice having a brand new home however, quality is not great. Unmatched paint issues, service issues, carelessness.

quality was great. any items during the build that came up were addressed immediately and the communication was prompt and responsive
