Pulte Homes Reviews

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

The overall buying experience, while the house was under construction was, acceptable, however, a few days before the closing, during our final walk-through, we encountered issues with different items showing damage, for example, the Jack and Jill bathroom tub, it had a visible crack in the front, and our construction manager sent someone to patch it up, we requested to have a new tub installed, but our request was ignored. We do not want to have a tub that is patched up. We want a new tub, because we bought a brand new home! To date, we haven’t heard back from him after several messages, no intention to get back to us. Not a good experience, who likes to be ignored? He responded initially, that he tried to get access to the home, but the house was locked. After that we didn’t hear back from him anymore. We also reached out, because we got a letter from Cape fear water management that there were signs of a significant leak on the home, we were out of town at the time, so we reached out to him again, to see if he could send someone to inspect the property, but he did not respond to us at all! I would like if somebody could please get back to us and advise when the tub will be fixed, and also our kitchen ”hood”, as well as all the other touch ups that were not addressed. Thank you!

The plan and the layout of the home is one of the best in the market. However, the quality control of the execution wasn’t upto the standard you’d expect in an expensive home such as this. Tthere were several issues identified during the final walk through that the closing had to be pushed by a couple of days. So many minor issues with paining, drywall, flooring, caulking etc. had to be attended to during the first few days after moving.

Overall we are not happy with Pulte. They delayed the delivery of the property for 6 months, they changed the delivery date twice. They made us spend a lot of money waiting. We do not receive any incentive for delays and additional expenses. Low quality materials and finishes. I recommend Lennar without a doubt.

So many little issues needed to be resolved even though the house was supposed to be move-in ready. Door bell not working, paint not properly done, nails could be felt under many places in the carpet...just to name a few. A proper list would take up a page. I would advise Pulte to have quality supervisors in place who's job it is to come do a checklist in the house before the house is handed over to the buyer.

Very well built home with all the amenities. Thankful to our sales agent and support staff. It was a great process watching the home be built from the ground up, and moving into the home was very nice. Thanks Pulte!

It’s been a great joy and I’m grateful we bought a pulte home.

Bad customer service with loan processors construction manager good customer service good sales fair

We recently moved into a new Pulte community in Rogers and we love our home so much! First off, the floor plan options are so much better than another other builders we toured. We have the Continental floor plan and the way the home flows is amazing. The perfect amount of space in the perfect places. We purchased a spec, and everything that was picked out for us looks so great together. I don’t know what we would have changed had we started from scratch. We had a few minor things we needed help with after moving in and we got such personalized care and help to get things fixed so quickly! Great experience from start to finish, and I’m sure ongoing with the great warranties. ... More

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

When we moved in two of the ceiling lights in the kitchen were not working. It took about 4 weeks to get the electrician out. He repaired them but said that the electrical wires were never hooked up. We have globs of dried paint hanging down from the roof outside our master bath windows. We have been waiting now for 2 months for someone to come and scrape it off. The dry walls have many unsightly slice marks and areas that need scraping and smoothing. The landscaping has been dying due to lack of water. The landscaper came out and replaced the dead plants and now a tree and 7 other plants are dead for lack of water. ... More

Scott really knows his stuff..

My initial experience with Pulte was great and I was excited to build a new home. with them. The location is great, the neighborhood is wonderful and I was ready for my dream home. The further we moved into the building process with Pulte the more the excitement changed to disappointment and frustration. On every interaction, either we were misinformed, limited or not told the truth about matters we had concerns with. We were told they would look into it and get back to us and it never happened. Or we were told they have now moved passed that stage of the build and there is nothing that can be done, or we were simply ignored. The customer service was not customer oriented, but builder focused. When issues were addressed I was left feeling as though I was the problem. How about the problem is the problem and you look into it. Things were left unfinished and we never heard from Pulte again. We have been in our new home for seven weeks and have not heard anything more about making repairs to the items we requested at closing. On a rating scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest. I rate the experience, customer service and repairs a 2 out of 10. For the price I paid for this house I expected quality workmanship and materials. This is not the Pulte I had experience with in the 90's. ... More

Positive Feedback: Quality of Workmanship: Overall, I appreciate the quality of workmanship in the construction of my new home. The attention to detail in the finishes and materials used is evident, and it adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the property. Timely Completion: I'm pleased that the project was completed on schedule, which was important to me. It's evident that the builder worked diligently to meet the agreed-upon deadlines. Professionalism: The builder's team displayed professionalism throughout the project, and their willingness to address concerns promptly was commendable. Areas for Improvement: Finishing Touches: While the overall quality of work is good, there are a few areas that require attention. For example, water heater pipe is broken while flushing the water from tank. Attention to Detail: While I appreciate the effort put into the construction, there were instances where attention to detail seemed lacking. Some corners were cut in minor ways that affect the overall perception of the property's quality. In conclusion, I have a mixed opinion about my new home. While there are aspects to appreciate, such as the timely completion and overall workmanship, there are also areas that need improvement. I hope that these points can be addressed to enhance the overall quality of the builder's projects and customer satisfaction. Providing a balanced review like this gives the builder specific feedback to work on while acknowledging their positive contributions to the project. ... More

Love our new home and Pulte has been very responsive to all our needs.

The team is very helpful and fair and makes sure that you get what you paid for. Jelena has been the best agent in helping us out. She went over and beyond for us.

Was a great experience purchasing a home from Pulte. From selection to watching the home come together was great. Communication from the builder was reassuring and the build quality was excellent! I love my Pulte home

First off this is a beautiful home, is there some problems that need to be addressed-yes. Things have gotten by the supervisors but with everything that goes into building a home with multiple contractors some do a great job, others are trying to get onto the next job and things are shoddy . Our warranty man Fanuel is doing fantastic job trying to get schedules matched with all involved.

I decided to go with all Pulte products (mortgage, insurance, title company) for my closing. I did this to make things “easier”. What I found is that all of the parties have poor communication that led to delays and inconveniences. Closing was pushed causing me to miss an international trip. The build quality continues to be an issue with no communication on when things will be resolved. Overall, I would not purchase a home from Pulte again.

It’s been a lovely home so far! We’ve had a few issues that came up and we’re address right away. We’re very appreciative to Pulte for our new home, and first new build!

There was an issue with our date of closing and it had to be rescheduled because appliances were not installed before receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. Therefore, our hotel stay was extended, and the moving company charged us a storage fee and a re-delivery fee. This cost us an extra couple thousand dollars. We were not happy to say the least.

Nice home but interior paint is cheap . Have to repaint the interior of the home

The homebuying and new build experience is not for the faint of heart and in life nothing is perfect, but when there were bumps in the road, I have to say Pulte came through with timely responses and solutions to the situations at hand. They worked and are working with me closely on solutions to everything that has come up. Like my sales rep would tell me when issues did arise. Remember Pulte wants happy homeowners when they move in so we will work with you and in the end that is what they did.

We had no problem at all with the construction of the home, the process, walk-throughs, and maintenance requests.

Very unresponsive to issues noted at walk thru
