Pulte Homes Reviews in Albuquerque, NM

From the beginning, things started off bad, with the realtor refusing to allow us to have our own realtor; because she is the one who secured the deal. Realtor kept advising me to go month to month on my apartment lease; which cost me thousands of dollars. Realtor kept sending (3x) the wrong construction plans to the city so numerous delays. Construction Manager did everything half-heartedly. Our home had a Guest Suite, sort of like a mother-in law suite which is supposed to have its own thermostat control for the heat and air conditioning; they messed up on that too. Then before close they left a mote around our house as a water catching pond. The carpet was thrown in on top of debri. We closed on our home to have electrical surges everyday; the power would trip several times a day on a daily basis . The city electrical inspector came out; and made recommendations; however it was like pulling teeth to get the issues resolved. On top of that, we were also experiencing a methane gas smell. There were some good values, doors, windows, counter top, stucco, carpet is nice. ... More

Just follow up as often as you can. Not very responsive to just one request

Took over a year to build. Poor communication. Poor quality materials. There were rodents in the ceiling upon moving in. Slow and useless responses. No accountability.

Pulte members always addressed my concerns or issues within reasonable time. They never brushed me off with their busy schedule but took an interest any time I called or texted. I worked with a fantastic team at Pulte Inspiration and I couldn't have completed the process without their patience and willingness to see me through each step of the way.

I have way too many issues to list here, so I'll just talk about a couple of them!!!!! I understand there's a labor shortage not just in New Mexico but all over the country. However, there was way too many times where our house sat for weeks at a time with nothing being done, I simply couldn't understand that. During the build process I came to our house "everyday", and they used a large amount of warped and damaged wood in this house. When I pointed this out, I was given all kinds of excuses. If someone from Pulte wants to contact me, I have much, much more to say.

Pulte does build a beautiful home. However, there were numerous delays, incomplete items at closing, and a general disregard for customer satisfaction throughout the process. Special shoutout for "worst experience ever" goes to Pulte Mortgage Company. Dealing with PMC was absolutely not worth the incentive.

This is the worst home buying experience I've ever had. Once we signed the contract, all communication stopped. No updates, no information on when the build would start, nothing. Once we moved in, we hired an independent inspector look at the house. He found issues with the roof, HVAC, and some other minor things. The roof is yet to be repaired. HVAC came out and worked an entire morning re-wiring the A/C unit and thermostats. A/C wasn't even connected. We had no heat, no A/C. Once they were able to fix the A/C unit, they realized the thermostats were configured where the upstairs thermostat controlled the environment for downstairs and vice versa. When we moved in, the stove wasn't connected to the gas so no cooking for us. There were things identified by the foreman which have still yet to be resolved. ... More

Home was supposed to be completed in March but lasted 7more months. The worst part is that homes that were recently signed took precedence because they paid more money. Unfortunately, for 6months, l was the supervisor since Pulte would not provide me with update and hardly worked on it. Even in some ocassion, l had to contact them about shaddy work and issues on the ongoing building. For instance, l came in on my weekly checks and found one room completely filled with water and had to let them know (this is just one of many). Building was mostly low quality and had several things not done properly including multiple curved wall among several items. I even tracked the progress of most homes on my street and took weekly pictures and have database which showed that i was literally put on a hold while priority was given to others. For instance there was one home that the original person who signed was frustrated and left and Pulte turned around and sold it for hefty extra money and so such a house became a priority. Remember when one time l was told that there was no materials to continue my home until l showed them a glimpse of the database showing the possibility of being descriminated. Within a day of saying there was no raw material and they do not know when they can restart my building - all of a sudden they found raw materials and immediately continued working on the building. Really a shame and am contemplating seeking legal advice ... More

Carlos our salesman kept us informed the whole time of building

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

Pulte needs to be better at choosing the GCs who build the homes. The workers who did the work on the build for the GC were average at best and on final walk through, a lot of issues were pointed out that the Pulte Field Manager repaired before closing. In the end what the public sees is the Pulte name, but if average work is being done on the build, the public doesn't see the GC, they see Pulte.

Low quality with not attention to detail results in a subpar home. They do enough to “finish” the home, but every day I notice something new such (cracked and jagged tiles, crooked pulls, nicked hardware, dented cabinets, stained counters). Given these issues I do wonder about the things we can’t see. Requests for fixes result in a not covered under warranty/ not our responsibility response.

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

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

While I absolutely love my home, I would say that the quality of the workmanship left much to be desired. I moved into a home that wasn't cleaned, that had a doorbell that wasn't functional, had missing door hinges, and splatters of paint on the tile floor that I am still trying to remove. I've also discovered that there are areas near two windows that lack texture and paint. On the exterior, things that I flagged during the walk through were not addressed. I've submitted three requests to get the doorbell, hinge, and an electrical issue addressed and am still awaiting resolution. I am disappointed in the foreman that said he would see that things were addressed and failed to follow through. ... More

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

Make sure on the final walk thought, the home should be completely finish before closing. I am closing on my almost two month now, the paint touch up in the rest room, and 12' wide concrete drive way need to be fix. With many phone call, the problem have not been solve. Very disappointed.

From the outset, Pulte rushed the process. They rushed the closing of the house telling us “we need our numbers” and threatened to charge us more if we fell outside of their perimeters. We were unable to see the home at closing due to being overseas (again they had significantly altered the time frame a couple of weeks before closing). Upon seeing the house for the first time, the house and yard were filthy. A number of things like some of the shelves and the staircase were unfinished. The upgraded tile that we payed for looked as if an amateur had laid it after spending too much time with bottle of bourbon. For the amount that we paid for the home and the upgrades, we were severely disappointed. Would not recommend. ... More

The customer service is Amazing!! Communication between everyone is Wonderful!! . You can tell that everyone works together as a team and our on the same page with everything.

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

We moved in in June. When we did our move in inspection there were lots of issues that needed to be addressed. On the day we moved in we were asked to wait 14 days to make sure all issues were addressed. Need less to say none of the issues were done and the guy in charge refuses to answer our calls. We have several places that needs paint touch up, repairs on the house and have yet been able to get ahold of anyone. We were told to do a warranty claim. Which takes time within it self. Very disappointed in the quality of work that they "take pride" in.

Our field manager was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. There is really nothing like a new home and I glad we went with Pulte. We love our new home!

Moved into incomplete home. Closed June 29 and no issues from closing have been resolved

Don't expect what you ordeed

Great builder the constructions of the home are outstanding. thanks
