Poor communication and not taking the time to check building completion finish.

Communication is poor. Construction workers were sent to the home to setup the irrigation system finished and gave no instructions on the water irrigation system they setup. As a new home owner we my thought was they will set it according to the city rules so I didnt want to mess it. Only for the assistant manager to send me condensing text about your sprinkler does not have to run 3x a day. I now had to pay the city over thousand dollars for water being the main thing putting the three months utility here from $95 we paid for the last bill to this high. Secondly when we moved in builder ...

STAY AWAY FROM PULTE

  • Jorge M.

  • San Antonio, TX

Communication: Horrible Construction oversight: Horrible Physical presence: Horrbile Construction manager never on site to supervise subs, realtor was worthless, and title group was nonexistent. I notice a trend with this company, if you want something done, you're going to have to do it yourself. Expect to have to be heavily involved in every aspect of your home buying experience with Pulte. Ask a lot of questions and be sure to follow up. DO NOT expect this company to have you in their best interest.

Good communication, however craftsmanship could be better

  • Rodney S.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • August 04, 2026
  • Montverde, FL

Communication throughout the process was good, however the builder craftsmanship left much to be desired. We had 4 inspections throughout the building process and several times items were marked as fixed but not repaired. We eventually wore down and let some things slide as I could do a better job repairing some trim items but for a million dollar house I would expect better. So far the warranty department has been solid.

Communication and Follow-Through Need Improvement

  • Theo B.

  • Zephyrhills, FL

We love our new home and appreciate the quality of construction overall. However, our experience after closing has been frustrating due to communication and follow-through. We experienced several warranty and drainage concerns that required repeated follow-ups. Getting updates was often difficult, and we frequently had to reach out multiple times before receiving a response. We also felt that some concerns were minimized instead of being addressed proactively. While the home itself is beautiful, the customer service after the sale did not meet the expectations we had when purchasing a new ...

Our experience with Pulte was terrible. Especially with Pulte Mortgage. They tried to bait and switch us for our mortgage rate. They repeatedly pushed back our closing. They just all around acted like they were trying to trick us into buying as quickly as possible without doing our due diligence. We are actively warning people not to work with Pulte.

I expected a better experience when my home was delivered. On the day I received the keys, the floors were covered in dust, the bathroom electrical outlets were not installed, and the laundry room base had moisture. In addition, I noticed that other homes had blinds installed, but mine did not. Overall, I was disappointed with the condition of the home at closing.

Since taking possession of our new home, we have experienced a pattern of significant construction and workmanship issues rather than isolated warranty items. We had a dual HVAC failure where both systems required repairs, multiple electrical issues throughout the home, and an active basement water leak. Our concerns were repeatedly minimized or dismissed until the problems became more severe and resulted in additional damage. By the time the issues were acknowledged, the damage had expanded, requiring more extensive repairs. This has caused significant disruption, repeated service visits, ...

Well.... 1- Poor design (heating on second floor, downstairs is cold when upstairs is warm. Front door is too narrow. No laundry room sink (unbelievable). kitchen cabinets are just a box, no pull-out drawer, kitchen drawers are too shallow, windows do not have wrapping sills, just the bottom sill. ) 2- cheap materials (cheap, crappy garage door opener, sounds like a garbage truck. Circuit breaker box keeps tripping, oven fan runs for half-hour after turning off) 3- shoddy construction (sprinkler cap fell in guest bedroom, too many appliances on one breaker, eg; washer and internet. ...
