Pulte Homes Reviews in Albuquerque, NM

I love my new home very much. There are somethings such as walls are crooked in some areas wish it was better quality workmanship done for the price.

The concrete (entry way, driveway and sidewalk) look like poor workmanship. Our entry gate was done twice and installed the wrong way….was told all would be taken care of…still waiting for all to be fixed As well as some smaller detail in the home

Great salesman and sales experience. Not so great response on issues.

The home buying process was painless, from the design to signing the mortgage. Pulte offers lot of designs to fit your needs and are really responsive to your needs. Unfortunately, there were some things that were not done before closing, and now now it seems I cannot get a hold of anyone. Maintenance workers miss scheduled appointment and there was no followup. I am disappointed that these fixes fell through especially because I was reassured things would be taken care of quickly.

There were some issues that are still unresolved that needed repairs

Happy with my purchase, expect I’m still waiting for them to fix some details!!!

Closets not durable, we’re not anchored well to the studs, had to put longer nails for durability

Gabriel was wonderful. He helped find the house and walked us through thr process. Then only bad thing was at closing, even though we could sign, we couldn't get the keys. This was because of an error that was made. The certificate of occupancy that was in the folder for our house was actually for another house. Everyone scrambled to get it done that day. We had to cancel our furniture from being delivered. We got the keys later that day but never got a call from upper management to check on us or apologize for the error.

Home is exactly what we wanted and the response to fixing items has been good.

The only issue I have had is that after the walk through, we identified a few things that needed to be fixed - two issues had not been resolved at the time we moved in. That was a bit of a disappointment.

Pulte is a quality builder. The team that delivered our home were responsive and helpful. We couldn't be happier.

minor complaints

I had concerns about changes to house design exterior after contract signed that I was not informed of. Also not sure of selection of HOA is a Pulte matter or not, but I have many concerns about the CC&Rs that do not seem flexible and should have been more fully explained at time of disclosure of those documents. As an example; I really liked the landscaping of the Parklane model and wanted that design which apparently is not within design approval set forth in the HOA documents. Perhaps some disclaimers should be disclosed to potential buyers before contract signed. It seemed like I got reassigned to several different contact people throughout the process of building which made it confusing. ... More

Pulte homes are good. Lisa and Jorge were awesome keeping us updated on the construction while we were far away. You will need to buy your refrigerator, washer and dryer. I think the space for the refrigerator in the kitchen area is small for a house with 4 bedrooms. So far everything is fine.

As good as the other home builders.

I realize that many issues we had were out of the hands of the builder with COVID putting a strain on the entire industry. But my frustration with the lack of communication during the building process. With our last build (before COVID) we had four walk throughs of our home as it was being built, we knew when things were happening, with this one we had 2, one was technically our final walk through and our house wasn’t even close to being done (with us closing in two days). Again, a lot of this was due to us building during COVID, but living over an hour away, I wish they had told me not to come saying the home wasn’t ready. A lot of the issues we pointed out before close weren’t dealt with, we had to reach out to our warranty specialist, such as finishing painting our house, fixing our lock on the front door that was installed incorrectly and fixing a leak on our secondary bathroom. It was definitely frustrating. Thankfully the warranty team has been very responsive, and has worked with us to make our home what we wanted. To anyone looking to build with pulte, I’d say really review your options and maybe don’t build during COVID. ... More

Involves buyer from start to finish. Especially pleased with stand out performance of issue resolution after construction of house.

We love our new home. There are a lot of thoughtful features and we appreciate the focus on energy efficiency. It's very, very close to perfect. The purchase and selection process was pretty smooth and streamlined. They did a pretty good job of keeping us updated on progress. Our field manager seems pretty conscientious and I have pretty good confidence that things I can't see are done properly. That said, there were a few breakdowns in communication, but eventually, everything turned out the way we wanted. Now, I'm a perfectionist and I tend to notice where it's not perfect. There were a few things that were immediate concerns and Pulte resolved them right away. Six weeks later, we're still missing a few items, so I've submitted requests to have them installed - generally they're pretty responsive. I think COVID-19 has delayed things a bit. There are some features that seem scratched or dirty when I would expect them to be new - they'll be scratched or dirty after a few weeks anyway. Overall, I would buy from Pulte again. In any home-building process, it's imperative to be involved and present and pay attention to what's going on. It's no different with Pulte. In the end, they did good by us. ... More

Before closing make sure all repairs/corrections have been made to your satisfaction. We had some minor issues that were still pending and were told at the final walk-thru they would be taken care of after the closing. When trying to schedule it became somewhat of a challenge. In all fairness the most crucial item did receive attention. Otherwise, we are very pleased with our new home : )

We love our new home and definitely feel like it is a beautiful, quality build. However, as soon as we moved in we began noticing area after area that needed small repairs and touch-ups, mainly cosmetic. We are currently working with the warranty department to fix over 2 dozen things. Most (not all) of the problems are only cosmetic, but they have left us frustrated and feeling as if the subcontractors (particularly the painters) were not properly supervised. For example, the ceiling/wall paint edging needs to be redone throughout almost the entire home because it is uneven and sloppy, there are holes in the stucco left from the scaffolding, and the landscapers got rocks in the sewer line (causing it to back up and spill sewage into our garage from the tankless water heater drain). The warranty department has been extremely helpful and responsive, but we are still left with a situation in which we need to miss work for at least several days in order to have 9 different subcontractors come and fix the various problems. We would have much preferred to have had the closing pushed back a few days rather than to be dealing with this hassle now because they rushed so much at the end and made mistakes that weren't obvious during our final walk-through. It's disappointing that such a nice home had such ridiculous superficial mistakes made, and so many of them. To be honest, it has us wondering if other, less visually obvious mistakes were made as well. Time will tell, and hopefully the warranty department will continue to be as wonderfully responsive. ...

The building of our home and the field managers in this division, Ridge at Stormcloud, have the BEST Field Mangers around. We have friends building Pulte homes in other division with horror stories. We are very fortunate. The sales side of things was a bad experience. We went through 3 sales persons who all told us different things which led to complications and delays. The design center that was used was amazing! Wonderful! The Pulte Title Company was excellent as well.

Do your research and continue to follow up on the building team. I love my home but some attention to details go over looked during walk through. Nothing alarming but the great thing about pulte is they have a dedicated team to fix any problems with in reason the first year which is extremely useful.

The home manager for Pulte who was overseeing the build of the house was very responsive, and easy to speak with.

Be patient and enjoy YOUR home buying experience, don't let delays steal your joy and excitement.

Our overall experience with Pulte was satisfactory. We started the process in May 2020, two months after the beginning of the pandemic. There was a lack of communication at the beginning with our sales manager, which led to trust issues and frustration. However, once a new team was brought onto the project communication began to flow on a weekly / biweekly basis, and visible progress on our home began to show which restored our trust in Pulte. Our site manager was very straightforward with us and assured us that the quality of the home was what she wanted to deliver to us. Future homebuyers should know that Pulte does offer a quality home buying experience, as well as a quality home. ... More
