Pulte Homes Reviews in Cleveland, OH

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a home with Pulte again. The experience has been very good. They build nice looking, high quality homes. We are in the process of finalizing remaining punch list items, but we have found the home to be very livable from closing.

We love our new home however I think that there were some corners that were cut that gave us the impression that is less then expected. For instance, unfinished walls that aren't covering electrical wiring in the garage, the storage area and the furnace area. For the cost of a few pieces of dry wall this would not have given the appearance of cost cutting. Clean up also seemed to be an after-thought.

There are a few minor and relatively low cost things that Pulte could do that would greatly increase the quality and experience of the home. The overall build quality is as expected though.

The time it took to finish the house was longer than promised.

from the first meeting at the model home the sales person was helpful in guiding me thru the process of purchasing the building manager kept me inform of the progress of the building of my home he shared all details very professional and friendly

The sales process was bad. The sales rep didn’t listen to our concerns and let us make assumptions that he could have easily clarified. This lead to many disappointments when we didn’t get house feature we thought we had purchased.

In the beginning our experience was much more positive. Some of the employees really seem to care but the end result is sloppy trade work and lack of responsiveness to seeing issues to completion. AT best Pulte needs to add 4-6 to it's build time. Trades often do not show and many do such a poor jib it's amazing that they continue to hire them. I think they underestimate their buyers and often patch these houses together. Issues are addressed but not acted on. Trying to get the punch list completed requires endless phone calls and extreme frustration. The GC is great but it seems that his hands are tied as well. They start a project but do not see it through moving their handyman from house to house without completing anything. Items that need to be replaced have been "ordered" and are on "order" . I had to hire and pay my own handyman to fix several things ASAP. Extremely disappointed with some of the quality of work. Pulte needs to slow it down and care more about their product or they will end up like Ryan homes. Word of mouth is very powerful. ... More

We had some issues that were identified before we moved in and after. The issues were addressed very quickly. Our experience with the sales and project staff has been very pleasant.

Anyone building with Pulte better hope they get a great supervisor as we did. He ensured the subcontractors build everything to plan, and most importantly the correct way.

I searched the web for reviews on Pulte before signing my contract and most were pretty bad reviews. Unfortunately for me, I moved forward with the purchase and here I am, adding to the bad reviews. I should have known better and I'll be kicking myself for a long time. Overall, the subcontractors performed subpar work and all their work went unsupervised by the Pulte field manager. The field manager told me during and after construction that he was too busy to supervise and quality control the subcontractors. That's great news for a new homeowner. (The cheapest subs Pulte can find are building my house with no supervision) I believe the field manager because I saw the poor workmanship for myself and really felt it after I moved in and uncovered multiple problems. I have been in my home for 6-weeks now and still can't take a shower in my master bath due to poor workmanship. My issues were not specific to me, 3 out of 4 of my neighbors had a major issue immediately after taking possession of the home. Overall, real bad experience but you will probably have the same experience with any national builder. If you want a quality home, build a custom home. ... More

I get it, Pulte is not a custom home builder but you are building new and the process of picking options was not smooth. Should use same checklist for everyone regardless of budget. Go over what’s included and what’s not. The materials for building the home were quality but the final fit and finish and what needed fixed was a hassle. Need to be more proactive to make sure everything is complete and up to standard without having the homeowner bring it to Pultes attention.

Our new Pulte home is the third Pulte home that we have purchased. We think that says a lot. There are always some little problems but Pulte handled them quickly.

Love my new home. Absolutely beautiful!

Construction and closing process when very well. We had a couple of minor issues that were taken care of quickly. Overall it was a great experience.

Overall the build went well. The project manager Paul was great to work with and kept the completion on schedule and delivered the completion on time and as promised. There were a few minor details that we have found after moving in that need attention or correction, but Pulte has been very proactive in getting the issues resolved. Overall a great experience.

Be diligent about addressing issues with the home. They’ll try to sneak them by you and cross their fingers you don’t notice. We upgraded and paid for paint and have been horribly disappointed. There were several spots that were missed. A lot of dry wall issues because someone left the windows open and it rained and the drywall on the windowsills are all cracked. Front door painted black but painted with the door open so there is black paint splatter on our light gray floors. Uneven walls. The trim on our stairwell was painted white which splattered on the upgraded rod spindles. It’s hard to look past all these issues. The list gets longer the longer we live here. There was little care or attention to detail to provide a quality home. ... More

Low build quality and trades. House has problems and builder has disappeared. Very disappointing experience and will never consider Pulte in the future.

We had a few issues but they were addressed in a timely manner. The team seemed genuinely concerned with our satisfaction. Wasn't thrilled with the Pulte Title experience, but on the builder side and the management of the construction, we were satisfied. Would indeed do it again, knowing what we know now.

Great from start to finish

We love the house and the floor plan. We are not happy with the quality of work from some of the contractors but Pulte has been responsive to getting these issues resolved

Everything was wonderful. Thank you

Had a great experience with the Pulte building process.

Working with the onsite Pulte representatives was a tremendous help through the process. While Pulte is not a customized builder as we've had in the past, the onsite representatives were very responsive to our needs and accommodated us to the best of their ability. The communication was excellent throughout the process and our new home was delivered within the time frame they had given.

Not thrilled with everything for the price. One coat of paint on all the walls. Giant knot holes in wood of basement steps. Carpet racks poking through carpet. Construction seems very rushed. Not what I thought was going to get for the hefty price tag.

Very happy with the layout of the house. Very disappointed that we’ve been in the house for 7 weeks and we still haven’t been graded, our patio is not in, and we have no timeline for when that will happen.
