Pulte Homes Reviews in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, NC

Not a trustworthy company to buy a house. They change the words just like that. Until you sign the contract sales rep will haunt you. Once you sign the contract and pay the 5%, that’s it. Their real colors will come out. For a first time home buyer, this is not the company to choose for. I would say I had the worst experience with Pulte. Initially i thought it’s just me, then when I spoke to my Neighbour’s and friends who bought homes with Pulte, they echoed the same as I did. Bad bad bad experience..that’s all I can say

First day at my new home, I found out that the living room and 2nd floor bathroom ceilings were wet. The construction people came in and I was told that this was due to the water leak in ac unit in the attic. The drain pipe was not connected to the ac, so water was pouring out straight down to the ceiling below. No one inspected that the ac unit was running properly! They had to cut open the ceilings and dry them. They brought in huge blowers that were loud and I wasn’t able to move in to my home for a week due to the ongoing repair. When I moved in, there was still water collecting in the drain pan in the ac unit in the attic. I complained about it and after two separate visits from ac contractors, they found out that there is a hole in the ac unit coil and they had to replace the coil. The toilet paper holder is missing in the 2nd floor bathroom and I have submitted a warranty request. It’s been a month and I’m still waiting for it to be done. ... More

This is my first build and has not been a great experience. The painting and caulking is bad and my cabinet lower piece has a large gap. The garage door does not automatically work, I am having to manually lift it up and down. There is no sense of urgency from the construction manager to address these issues as many issues were identified before closing and i was told that these items would be addresses. Also, not to mention that they did not clean the sliding door track which has very noticeable dirt. This I was also told would be cleaned.

Pulte is the worst decision I have ever made. They do not have proper leadership and management and all the house they built is of poor quality. The construction managers do not have knowledge on building quality house. We bought a home with Pulte and had lot of emergency issues with the house and the service team is a bogus that is not strong enough to support the customers. Our house is having a water leak and it is 5th day yet no one to help. Made enough calls and emails and tiered . So as a home owner I can say never ever but a Pulte product and they are not what they say. And they are not “TRUSTWORTHY “ ... More

We had a very bad experience with Pulte homes in the home buying process and mortgage process. Terrible experience and never want to buy a home with Pulte again.

It is almost 2 months but Pulte is still not able to have internet setup at my place since it is a part of HOA bulk service. Even i am paying HOA and it is still not setup yet.

I would never buy another house from Pulte Builders. First off before we closed the builder would not do anything about a large crack that ran over 10 feet in the garage. This formed in the beginning process of building and there solution was to just cover it up and move on. I asked for test to be done in that area to confirm there were no foundation issues and they refused. I asked for an extended warranty on that area due to it forming so quickly they refused and said if we didn't go to closing we could be charged for holding up the closing. We had a closing list was suppose to be completed right at closing which they did do most of but we are still waiting on an issue with our backdoor and haven't seen any urgency about finishing the list that was suppose to be completed at closing. Now after living in the house we are noticing small craftsmanship issues but the main thing is that the floor on the second floor is uneven and so uneven that it had to have been noticed by both the carpet installers and the tile installers. The vanity in the bathroom is not level because it is such a dramatic drop in one area. So Pulte instead of fixing correctly again decided to just cover up a problem rather than fix it. I am truly worried about the craftmanship behind the walls that I can not see. ... More

Absolutely Substandard appliances given, since one month issues are not being addressed. Only a blame game, fire alarm is not functioning well and beeps daily full day and night. Appliances provided are substandard and not working, Pulte executives say they can’t do anything. Children have final exams and we are living in a devastated state with Pulte homes

During the final walkthrough there were more 60+ issues which were promised to be fixed before closing , but all issues were not fixed. Now I am requesting everyday the warranty guys and construction manager to create work orders who are not reponsive. Warranty team respond saying that issues will be fixed at build to year, which means the issues found during closing have to wait an year to get fixed. This is a very bad customer experience and making me feel not a trustworthy builder.

HVAC UNIT MOVED TO THE EDGE OF MY DRIVER WAY WITH VERY LONG CONNECTION BETWEEN THE UNIT AND THE HOUSE, THIS WAS DONE WITHOUT MY CONSENT AFTER CLOSING.

The quality of the home was very bad with lot of issues like cracked granites, bad quality items even after availing Smart Hone package. Unresponsive construction manager with very bad workmanship.

Rusted kitchen countertop. The spots are spreading everyday. None of the people from Pulte are responding. They are claiming it to be natural stone mineral deposits. This is not true at all.

very bad experience and very disappointed

Bought a home, before closing everyone node their heads and after closing no one responding.

Field manager ignored buyer’s concerns throughout the build process. Due to supply delays, Pulte took shortcuts to keep production moving. This meant drywall, floors, cabinets, and appliances were all installed before windows and exterior door were installed. No effort was made to cover windows from the elements. Issues that were not corrected prior to closing, were promised to be corrected within 30 days. It’s now over 2 months passed closing and issues have not been resolved. Pulte has stopped responding to correspondences. Overall quality and craftsmanship of the house is appalling. Hardwood stairs have cracked steps, cabinet doors coming apart, noticeable draft coming from behind the cabinets to an exterior wall, paint touch-ups give two-tone effect, outlet has no power supply, uneven patched drywall, and exterior doors have gaps. ...

Cheap Homes, never buy from Pulte

I had to babysit sit their contractor to get wood floor redone. Carpet is bumpy all over. Giving up. Missing electrical outlets. Front door not installed properly. Pointless. Many more are there...

I wouldn't buy another home from Pulte if they were the last home builder on earth. They pushed us to close before the house was complete and we never got to do a final walk through when the house was cleaned and ready for inspection. They have given us the runaround on getting everything completed and we are still finding things that are wrong. While we were promised that the house would be made right, we are almost 2 months into living in the house and repairs still need to be done. And now the response time to get things completed is whenever they feel like it. I am incredibly disappointed and wish my family had made another choice in builder. ... More
