Pulte Homes Reviews in Las Vegas, NV

We purchased the model home in Vegas -very disappointed. NOTHING was maintained in the house after we signed the contract. Yard outside let go, lots of things not working well in the house. New problems crop up every day

This is the worst experkence ever in building a home. They advertose differently than they actually handle the building experience. Do not reccomend.

The paint job in many areas of the house is terrible, leaving the surfaces unfinished and unattractive. The microwave was not installed correctly from the start. The construction team failed to ensure proper installation and oversight of the house build. I have tried multiple times to report the microwave issue, but no single department wants to take responsibility, and they keep redirecting me between departments. The microwave issue has still not been resolved for almost a month.

Where should I begin? At the final walk through of the home, just 3 days before closing, we walked the property for the “final” review. The house was not even close to ready and extremely dusty. The stove’s hood was visibly unaligned with a 1 foot open hole. In the outside of the house they left a big noticeable patch where they have tried to fix the hood (the hole by the hood in the inside of the home, going to the outside of the home). Electrical wires just left out in the open with light switches missing, it almost seems Pulte has no idea of what its doing. Even the light for the main door is missing, not sure who signed in the “inspection” of the home while being built. Even after months in the house and with all the items missed or messed up during the construction, pulte is hard to get a hold off. No one returns my calls and to say the least, this is been a very frustrating experience. I have purchased other new homes and never quite an experience as with pulte. Would NOT recommend. ... More

The only good thing about the home is the view and area of town. I hope no one else has had the level of dissatisfaction I have had.

Worst experience after paying almost 1.7M! We still have not gotten the items fixed from our walk thru on October 26. Next home will definitely not be a Pulte!

Stay away

Post closing issues

Angela was an excellent communicator. She always responded to my text and emails despite the overwhelming challenges. She was cordial and respectful. Brandon on the other hand kept making promises he could not keep. My property still remain unfinished 60 days after we had fully paid the Builder in cash.

This was a real nightmare of an experience and Pulte was not great. The quality of the finishes and paint were highly questionable. The options were limited and that was very disappointing. Most expensive home I’ve ever had and perhaps the least satisfying

Our home buying experience was one of the worst - this was my 6th new home purchase. It was horrible for a constellation of reasons. It started with the sales agent giving misinformation on more than one occasion, a sales manager who was spiteful when confronted with issues or challenges in her approach, a design center that appears to have the philosophy of “you will take what we want to give you” and not the “customer is right or valued philosophy. These two general issues caused a large amount of distress in the home buying experience - making it a day to day nightmare. Within this, the quality of the home is fairly low budget. Upgraded toilets are cheap, not non-handle water savers, white rubber plumbing fixtures are used, a low volt transformer for your door bell that won’t even accommodate the Nest Bell, low budget cabinet where you’re forced to spend over $10k to even start to get soft close hinges, texture spray on the wall is awful, low quality doors for the rooms, terrible splitting framing around the doors, a garage header frame that was built over and inch off so the front of the house looks crooked and on and on. Pulte has employed field managers who just talk you into how to accept the warranty issue instead of insisting on repair (a warranty issue takes 30 days to repair). The field manager also wanted us to move in without our refrigerator that we upgraded through Pulte. In short, I would never buy another Pulte home in this market and equate its product to a budget builder where it charges handsomely for the home and increase upgrade prices every month. I can say, I had to threaten to take legal action because of all the issues and the response I was getting from both the sales tram and the field manager. One employee, the construction manager stepped in and toon action and has been a very good job addressing the layers layers of issues with this home. ... More

After moving in, we found the garage was not insulated contrary to our purchase agreement. It then took numerous calls and threat of legal action to get this resolved. The contractors did a haphazard job fixing the issue. It also took multiple contractors multiple days to finish the work.

Definitely not high standard compare to what you pay. Aims walls are not straight , and lots of thing you find out after final walk in. Poor quality. Not to mention the sales people ( at least ours on that time) that wasn’t clear about very important information about your lot we purchased , without showing us the real space and back yard we are getting - just let us add 30K more for ‘premium lot’ with worse shape of yard than regular lot. We found out after we paid the deposit and after they start building. Will never buy from Pulte again , 30K extra laid for nothing ! For extra space you can’t really use ( back of the house and front of the house) and getting bad shape of back yard. ... More

Before buying a Pulte Home, I was excited because I thought Pulte’s build quality was going to be superior to that of other builders. Or at least that is how it was marketed. That was definitely not the case. Getting them to fix any issue has been like pulling teeth, and they are extremely slow to respond to simple requests. Don’t expect more than what you will get from any other builder.

We had an horrible experience with the build of the home ESPECIALLY final walk through and the quality of drywall/stucco/paint work! Our final walk through was a disaster, we had the contact the construction manager to schedule the walk through, the house was not all ready!!! When we walked in there were vents not installed, bathroom fan hanging by the wires, finger prints on ceilings/walls, chunks on wood missing on cabinets, scratches in the kitchen sink, and various other issues!!!! The drywall and paint looked like it was done by amateurs!!! Your drywall/paint/stucco technicians did a terrible job!!! The quality and workmanship is terrible!!! No pride at all, my wife and I are not in construction and we saw things that were obviously wrong with the paint/drywall!!! We had our walls painted and the lines where the ceiling meets the wall was very sloppy throughout the entire house!!! The textured walls are very uneven, some places are smooth and other places are very bumpy. We expected minor issues, but this is ridiculous!!! We've only been in the house about a month and the paint is already cracking!!! My wife and I thought very highly of Pulte, but the build of this house has us telling friends and family not to buy from Pulte!!!! We are very disappointed with Pulte!!! ... More

THE PROCESS WAS SMOOTH BUT ITS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKES THE EXPERIENCE EFFY

I was super excited when I first saw the house 12 months ago. But once I was in contract, the employees I worked with at the design center were curt, Zach with the financial department out of Colorado is why I didn’t do with Pulte, he was so rude, and after I closed, Pulte fired my point of contact and nearly 5 weeks later I get a response about setting up appointments to work on my punch list. Meanwhile, I have a hole in my ceiling, my banister isn’t secure, my fireplace doesn’t work, and the lights and cabinets aren’t installed according to the design packet, sloppy work all around the house. My walls are covered in blue tape. I want to love this house but this process has been awful. The only thing Pulte has been good at is asking me to rate them so here’s my honest opinion. 0 out of 10 stars. ... More

It has been the worst experience of purchasing a new home ever. Had to get an attorney involved when we were told we did not qualify. Then the workers were told do not fix anything because our home was going to be sold as is. The appliances look like they are second hand they are so bad. Custom cabinets look awful. The whole house was painted with some sort of flat paint (I believe it may be primer). As we were told they could not get paint. My toilets had poop skid marks in them because they left it open for the trades people to use. When we asked for construction trash to be removed it was tossed up on a 12 ft high retaining wall (as if we would not notice). My carpet was trashed by the painters and other people. My gates were ruined by overspray and my backyard trashed where the plaster and paint contractors empties their guns in my yard. Now we are being told they are not going to fix many of these issues. Then to be told by an employee what do I expect for a 500,000 home. I have heard a lot of things over my lifetime but I was never so appalled and insulted in my lifetime. I guess when his bosses told him we were not qualified he felt he had free rein to talk to us anyway he wanted. Then lie about it when confronted. So if your asking would I ever by another home from you or refer your company, the answer is absolutely NOT. ... More

Couldn't have been worse. Pressured to close when home not complete. Once I closed, they didn't respond or fix items they promised they would.

The quality of work was horrible. The house had a layer of dust and film on all of the cabinets and countertops. I spent 2 hours cleaning out stucco from my half vent windows so that I could open and close them. The toilet had fece stains underneath the lid and the seat. One of the kitchen drawers doesn't close. The cabinet under the sink still has the parts for where the shelf is supposed to be hung, but they just didn't install it. There is paint all over the floor, countertops, windows, bath tub, clothes rails, on the bottom of all of the cabinets, and on the carpet and tile. There is a 10 inch crack in the door frame to the garage, which is supposed to be a fire door and it does not close on its own. Several electrical sockets were open hot. The bath tub has a 1 inch scratch. The handle in the bathroom had a sharp edge that cut my hand open when I tried to open the door. It looks like someone dropped it, damaged it and still put in on. The cabinets are chipped. There are multiple tiles that are scratched on the floor of the walk in shower. There is plastic sticking out from the mirror from when it was installed. The floorboards are dirty and need to be painted. The french doors do not close or lock. There is paint all over them, up to 3/4 inch away from the frame. There is a 1/4 inch gap at the top and a 1/8 inch gap at the bottom of the french doors when you try to close them. There is no door stop fo the left panel of the french door. There are many scratches on the "upgraded" cabinets, some up to 4 inches long. Some cabinet doors are uneven. The sliding glass door has 1/4 inch gaps around the frame and is uneven on the sides. There is a 1/4 inch semi-circular hole in the left jamb of the sliding glass door. One panel has a large defective cats eye. The screen door still had stickers on it and the paint came off when I tried to remove them. Many windows have silicone sticking out from where the glazier installed them and didn't clean up. Several windows have large scratches and bad Low E tint. The double vent in the dining room is so bowed that the super told us that you need to push in the middle of the vent so that you can close it. Using a 2 foot level you can see that it is more than a full bubble off of being perpendicular to the ground. Almost every window has an uneven ledge that really looks bad when you have the blinds closed. There are several spots on the outside of the house that were missing paint near the spouting. Stucco damage at 15 different spots. The front door is missing paint near the lock and handle. The back porch has stucco feet prints all over the pavers. The range hood vent is still on back order. The super did have someone install a temporary one. The heater did not work the first time that we tried it. The super came out the next day and went into the attic and had to switch it on from where one of the workers had turned it off. Pulte staff and sales people are professional and easy to work with, but the quality of the workmanship in my home sucks! I have recommended to all of my friends to never buy a Pulte home or they will regret it. ... More

House not completed for walkthrough, no quality checks were performed by Pulte, all issue identification was left up to us as the customer, promised by builder that issues would be resolved by closing and they were not. Forced to close with 77 open issues like leaking pipes, damage to cabinets and other finishes, uninstalled features, missing paint, chipped tiles, etc. As soon as we closed it was like we did not exist. It has been left to us to coordinate, schedule, and communicate issues with the trades, as our Pulte field manager told us he was moving to a new development across the street and did not have time to follow through on all the issues we discussed before, during, and after closing. Pulte sells you the "Build Quality Experience" and says they are the highest of quality. There was no oversight of the work along the way, that is obvious by the poor quality and numerous mistakes. There was no inspection by Pulte, they looked to us to point out even the most obvious damage and needed fixes. We are 6 weeks passed closing and our house is torn up with partial fixes, most items not addressed at all, and many items worked multiple times and still not acceptable. I would not recommend Pulte, they have not taken any pride in their product, and along the way each Pulte representative has pointed at someone else as being responsible. ... More

Worst framing I’ve seen in years. Studs missing, no corner studs, single king studs around window openings holding up thousands of pounds of roof tile. Electrical wiring pulled with the sheathing pulled off of it. Wires taped together buried in the walls. Outlets covered resulting in excessive opening made in the drywall to locate them. Gas lines moved and only tested after I questioned them About it. Names constantly missed spelled in documents and even yelled at our lender on the phone because they thought it was a robo call - really your a business! I would never had boy this Property had I know about the pending litigation and recent customers waiting for nearly two years to have properties corrects. I would never recommend Pulte. My door bell doesn’t work for goodness sake. Horrible builder ... More

seems like everyone is trying to get their bonus and hit their goals by rushing to close. After moving in, I realized there are excessive amount of repairs and fine tuning needed (very sloppy work). Spending few minutes in each room during walk thru is completely insufficient. That burden should not be placed on homeowner and it should be with the builder/field manager. Paint drips all over the floor and carpet, gaps and chips throughout the house, loose faucet/sink, etc..etc.. Seems like there are too many homes going up at same time and not enough quality control and not enough field manager to spend time in each home while they are being built. The response and attitude is .... "just close now and let home warranty deal with it. I closed and hit my goal and it's home warranties responsibility now". My neighbors have been dealing same ongoing issues with home warranty for almost a year now. I'm hoping that won't be me. ... More

Home horribly built. Rushed into a closing date with an ill equipped home from a QC perspective. Documented over 10 active issues with paramount issue of faulty air. Takes numerous emails that finally threatened escalation for a finger to get lifted. Unbelievably dissatisfied . Woth I could provide my full name as all should see what a crappy job was done and perhaps a resolution. One month in the house and we are already considering selling….buy what does Pulte care…they got paid on a faulty and overinflated house

I have never had so many problem buying a house and this is not my first time From pulte Morgage to getting things fixed Missing screws It’s been 2 months and I can’t even get my light bulb that the contractor said they where going to place outside Missing outlets and out let’s not working People from pulte promising things and not following thru still waiting for someone to replace window because there’s scratches on it Plants in my front yard that are died Shabby paint job Stuff in my disposal when we move in We ask for touch up paint one person tells us they don’t do that, we ask the painter the say email customer service for touch up paint Toilet not flushing well Contractor said he will be the point of contact, we called him, email and text him no answer Email customer service say they are going to contact us in 2 to 3 days then tell us the person is on vacation and then tell us they have been replaced What is going on ...
