Excellent engineering and material selection. Great floor plans and upgrade options.

The floor plan is excellent. Nice lot selection. Good selection of finishes at design center. Good value compared to other builders and developments. In many cases the finishing work was sloppy, trim poorly done. We had put in an order change request for master bath tile and the tile installer put in the standard tile. It took weeks to get it fixed. We got the base paint color on the first floor and an upgrade on the second. On a walkthrough, the first floor had the wrong color paint. Told manager. They painted a second coat in the same wrong color and wanted us to approve it. We did not. It did get fixed but you can still see it where the walls meet the ceiling. Despite Pulte setting the closing date-the house was not ready for closing. Some of the lights did not work. One overhead light package had not been installed (but was corrected immediately after settlement). Exterior work had not been completed, yard had not been graded, house hadn't been cleaned and it was a mess. Even after their post settlement cleaning, we were still scraping paint off the floor. We had set up contractors to come and do additional work, so it was not practical to move closing back so we had them escrow funds until work was completed. ... More

After contract signing, they don’t care about you. You have to chase 100 times even to get small updates. You will be lucky if you can get your home without any major issue.

There seems to be no quality control in place. So many things needed to be taken care of after we moved in.

Throughout the entire process Jennifer and Bill were very informative and helped with any questions or concerns we had. I would highly recommend Pulte to anyone considering to build.

The home buying process was smooth with the exception of the "Profiling" we encountered with the Sales representative for the community we live in. While the Manager of the sales team tried to reassure me ...the facts of the situation outweighed her safe responses. Our house was a Inventory house that appeared to have been purchased and then the original owners backed out. They worked so fast to get us approval for occupancy that they really did a less than PULTE job on the house. Our driveway is crooked, Our Keypad does not work on the garage, carpet is coming up (we've only been in the house 5 months) less than responsive times on customer service. They just hired a new manager for the service request. Maybe it will get better. I hope so! ... More

builder was thorough and responsive to all my needs and helped with extra materials allocation.

The trim on our cabinets is not lined up there's a nail coming out of our floor there's some epoxy left on a cabinet face there are tacks poking up at every transition to carpet we have paint splattered on our front stoop we have damaged shingles one of our cabinets are cracked a seam is opening up on our kitchen cabinet and several of our windows only open half way. we have brought this to the attention of the service team multiple times and keep getting told it they passed it on. It seems like it was passed to the trash cause no one cares

We were very happy on closing day, and things we brought up were generally addressed. But now that we’ve been here for a month, we keep finding minor workmanship issues that have us concerned for the longevity of the home. We enjoyed this process overall. Hopefully we don’t find too many more issues that would change our minds about that in the coming months.

Overall, a great experience building a new home. I have heard horror stories about building a new build home but, we did not experience any problems. It was much quicker, from Dig date to move in date, than anticipated, only took 5 months. We love our beautiful home!

Closed on house on time which I appreciate but there are a few key construction issues that were missing before and after closing that I wished they were addressed without me needing to find them and ask for them to be addressed and wait for response and follow up on fix

Marrisa (sales) was wonderful and always very helpful! Larry(superintendent) was amazing!! He made the whole experience trustworthy. He always solved problems in a timely manner and helped us feel very good about our purchase. Pulte is lucky to have both of these professionals!

Unfortunately we became disillusioned with Pulte administration. From gaslighting to outright untruths. We felt rushed to pick out materials only to have delays six months later as items had not yet been ordered. We felt that Pulte was doing us a favor by building this house. Also, there was very little flexibility when we wanted to make a change but when Pulte made a change we were just supposed to go along with it.we also had multiple project managers. At times, we had become the problem solvers as the managers didn’t seem to know a next step. When we questioned why something wasn’t completed , we simply got an “I don’t know”. On one occasion we were told a step was delayed because two different tradesmen couldn’t get along on the same site! MANY times we were ghosted with no communication for weeks to emails and/or phone calls. The HOA in place also has demonstrated poor communication by not answering emails/calls for weeks. There’s no annual meeting, nor budget presentations. We tried to meet in person and the issue never answered. At this point, we have one wall without drywall in the basement (we have only been here 7 weeks) because a basement window was not sealed. We had mold on the baseboard and drywall. Obviously at this point we can not recommend Pulte at all as a builder. ... More

Lots of options to fit different budgets. Fastest builder in the Columbus area with other builders quoting 10 month build time while Pulte completed in 6 months. Process is fast so need to make decisions quickly and limited ability to change options. Overall happy with our decision to go with Pulte.

Sales consultant is zero helpful, any ways long story short, I had a bad experience with him..

No major issues and minor were handled as requested

your finance company is worthless

As newbies in the home building experience, I gotta say Pulte far exceeded our expectations. With Dana at the helm and helping us get the initial process started, and Sydney with the design, it was evident these professional ladies believed in the product and were very helpful along the way. Experiencing Bob, as the construction manager, was a delight and he was great at getting the job done and fun to work with. I would recommend this community to friends and family because of our experience.

Very very bad experience, don’t trust pulte. Had multiple issues through out the process but they don’t have time to fix it as they are very busy with other customers and don’t care about old customers. I made a bad choice building my dream home with pulte, please don’t do what I did. We built our house once in lifetime and they don’t care once they get the money.

Every process went very well and smoothly, we got the house on time.

Slow response to the issues post-closing

Disappointed in final home ready state. Talking with several new owners in Pioneer Crossing all seem to share the same frustrations. 1. Quality workmanship by some sub contractors 2 unfinished landscape, trees, grass and general high level of construction debris left on site after closing.

Overall exp was not that great , but is is ok .
