Pulte Homes Reviews

The process started off easily, but then my house sat with no work being done for a month until right before closing. Then closing had to be pushed back twice. I’ve been in the house for a month and it’s still not done.

Delayed the construction in more than 7 months, and delayed closing over 20 days. Lots of unfinished details, broken doors, drawers. Clogged toillets and bathtube. Dirty pool, without the filter.

Our overall Our overall experience with Pulte was exceptional. They were very responsive when I had questions that needed to be answered. We were able to move in over a month before the original closing date, which was a big help to my family. The only issue we had a problem with was what came with the house. When a family moves into a new home, they should not have to buy any essentials for the home. Our home did not have overhead lights, fans, blinds, and curtains. This was a significant inconvenience for us, and I hope that Pulte will change this in the future when building new homes.

Overall our experience with pulte was great. Allyson at the design center was very helpful with what upgrades were worth the money and also helping us pick out everything to match. Tom and Rob are ranked high in the country and built us a solid house. We love the floor plan and the design and when we do have to submit a work request claim someone is always out within a couple days to address issues.

My experience with the house was very good! Unfortunately, after I received the house, the pool already had a water leak.

Van was knowledgeable, prompt, responsive and friendly.

The home is great, with each bedroom having its own bathroom. 2nd floor landing is a good size and the open floor concept and high ceilings makes the home feel spacious.

I want to say that everyone we dealt with at Pulte during this process was polite, professional and truly wanted to do the best job they could. The final product is everything we had hoped for and more and our punch list is a few simply cosmetic issues. No serious problems or malfunctions of any kind. Malcom did a great job and his follow up was excellent.

Very responsive before the sale, less so afterward, For example, I requested the name of the interior paint 3 weeks ago!

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

My builder had rushed closing and left my garage unfinished and multiple issues throughout the house. I have broken wood unleveled floors, cabinets installed incorrectly and paint that is chipping.

I moved into my home in July 2023. I love the house. Only issue is that alot of things were not completed prior to closing that was written in the inspection notes. Having these issues fixed after closing as been a nightmare.

Moved in the end of july. The property was nice and clean few unfinshed items. Construction manager and warranty manage cheerful and helpful. A couple of gripes: Landscaping- the first installed small plants all died. They did replace with something else, not what we would have wanted but. The new trees are planted too deep. They cannot mow without damaging the sod with the big tractor. Wound up mowing myself. Bushes along noth side if of the house all dying no matter how we baby them. We will need to submit to redo the landscaping in the spring. It feels like they put in whatever was left in the nursery. Paint- i did not realize the quality of the basic paint. We would have upgraded to something, its barely primer. Went to sherwin Williams to get touch up and they said they could not match because it is contractor paint with dry instead of wet colorants. Punchlist items. We sent in quite a few punchlist items that we did not see at the final walk. If that was our only oppurtunity we would have spent the day going over inch by inch. Some cabinet doors we dropped in the driveway, i put in the garage and when they came to install, they were warped. It has been a couple of weeks since we sent the lists with no schedule to repair other items, or confirmation of cabinet door reorder. Range- we opted for the fancy fridgidare range and it was not in we we moved in but there was a temp in place. It took about a month to get. Then i had to take a day off work to make the swich, they could not commit to a small window of time. Then when we turned it on we noticed the oven did not work. We scheduled a warranty service the next day. They could not come for a week. They provided an arrival window between 8a and 4p another lost day of work waiting. He got there after 5 , worked on for 30 min then said main board was bad. Not in stock, have to order from the factory. No follow up on status. I suppose i need to take off a 3rd day for the next service call whenever it comes. Still no oven. Overall the house is nice and we like it and the neighborhood. It functions well, just a few things i mentioned above that could go better. Over all the team was helpful and the purchase process was smooth, just need to get to the finish line. ... More

The overall purchasing experience was good. Modifications are not allowed after the given time, even if it's by a day or two. Fine, it's understandable. The overall quality for the price set is extremely disappointing. Carpet areas were not clean and the carpet placed on top of whatever was on the floor. The appliances had a similar outcome, when removed to clean floors, there was material left over underneath them. The kitchen cabinetry has wasted space in the corner areas. The modules touch one another leaving an empty space in between that could have been used should a corner cabinetry have been used instead. A week after moving in, the patio sliding door stopped working and wouldn't close at all. The emergency after hour customer service was horrible and unhelpful. A month later and the door is still to be fixed. Attempting on a 3rd appointment, all which have been a no show. Anyhow, I could continue, but you get the idea...... It can be better! There is such a rush to just close on the homes to finish the project that the little things get dismissed. ... More

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.

It's been a long journey, with no end in sight. We are not happy with the deficient workmanship of the trades Pulte hired. Little attention to detail on the finishes leading to multiple delays in closing. To say that this process has been very frustrating is an understatement and would not recommend this builder to anyone. People are nice, but this is our home, and unfortunately, they did not take that in consideration. They say they understood our concerns, but they didn't. Piece of advice: be vigilant and hold builders accountable throughout the home building process.

Overall, I am happy with the quality of the house. However, the customer service of the builder is very very low. They will promise you the world to get you to buy the house and to have you to write a good review, but will drop contact and won't address anything they should have fixed once it is done.

Pulse Home and all their staff were amazing making sure our house was ready, they respected deadlines and did not offer things they couldn't give. I recommend Pulte Home 1,000%

Brad and Zach were great to work with.

The house is nice but in certain finishes you can tell they went cheap.

Poor workmanship - lots of sloppy work. Paint runs and spatters, cracks and chips in tile and quartz counter tops, kitchen cabinets and all doors (including glass shower doors and sliders misaligned. Trim was low cost and fairly rough for price. Door trim at front door is peeling away from frame. Responsiveness to problems was slow from the sales personnel to the construction managers.

We rated this based on our experience with all aspects of Pulte and their subcontractors. If this survey pertains specifically to our construction manager, Joey, then the rating is high. If this survey pertains to vendor like SST, then the rating is 1-2.

Pulte homes, St. Augustine, FL division did not deliver the home on time, did not make sure all the issues found in the pre walkthrough are addressed by the closing date. The post sales support team is not even responsive. No progress on the issues raised during the final walkthrough nor any communication on their plan in addressing the issues raised. This division is only interested in making the sale and making the money. They are least bothered about the customers or their satisfaction. They have a few good employees that certainly want to help the buyers. But the rest of their culture from top to bottom is careless towards customers. I highly suggest to stay away from Pulte homes, St. Augustine, FL division. ... More

Very easy process and everything went smoothly

We wanted a fast track closing - Pulte Homes delivered that - the home we purchased was already built - there were no items to choose from or discuss with the sales agent or builder - we think that because we were not involved from the beginning, some of the items we have discovered leading up to and immediately POST closing are items that would have been addressed early on in the process - now we are just handling through the warranty/customer care process instead of the build process - some of the items are frustrating (like loose outlets/missing screws/stuck doors) - others are simply an annoyance (inability to register HVAC unit) - overall, the people with all the different divisions of Pulte have been willing to assist and make things work - "do the right thing" is a core value and our experience is that they do live out that value ...
