Pulte Above Average

  • Edward D.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • August 30, 2023
  • Laveen, AZ

There are many aspects about the purchase of our new Pulte home that are above and beyond the norm. During the sales process and closing they work to make it a good experience, well above the norm. They work to provide a good product in the home they deliver to you that is above average. Average is not outstanding, so above average is better yet still not outstanding, Perhaps outstanding should not be an expected from a production builder. One has to wonder if the cost of the home was $2,000 more could Outstanding be possible?

Great from initial meeting to closing

  • Punta Gorda, FL

We had a great experience purchasing and moving into our new home. From our initial contact with the sales rep Mark, through closing with Steve and Dan, our construction sups, great experience. Mark kept us up to date on the progress and actions needed throughout the initial stages to completion. This is where Steve and Dan stepped in to walk us through the home and make any corrective action necessary. Even after the closing, the final punch list items are quickly being resolved to our satisfaction. Great job Pulte Team!

Having recently purchased two new home builds that were not Pulte, I was amazed at the stark differences between Pulte and the others. Our Pulte home quality and responsiveness to any question or detail was responded to immediately. Our job supervisor was anxious to make sure we understood the process and was always available. Our salesperson was also great!

Overall, good experience

  • Fredy C.

  • Conroe, TX

Overall, good experience throughout. Superintendent was very knowledgeable of the home systems and walking me through the maintenance items. Where I will knockdown a couple of points is the attention to details. There are various locations where paint was smudged on finishes, or floor base wasn’t patched or touched up at corners, but nothing big as of one month in the home. I will also say, the worst of my experience were the final stages of my process with my loan processor and closing agent. They all decided to go on vacation on my closing day without notifying me of who to contact in the ...

We have several issues mainly related to design and architecture ranging from unreachable switches to rain water getting into the house from exterior door. Can’t even open the back door of suv while parked in the garage. The plumbing clean outs are installed in the master closet!!!!! The namesake laundry room is designed poorly. I could go on…..

Sloppy trades, especially painters. Cabinets in kitchen and bathrooms not installed properly, huge gaps, do not close like they should, peeling, bubbling. Caulking looks like a five-year-old did it.

Very difficult to get in touch with anyone during the building process. We also had very basic requests post close that are completely unwilling to work with us on. Honestly I feel like there is a bit of common sense missing on Pultes side throughout this process very frustrating.

Not impressed with Pulte Homes

  • Royce L.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • August 30, 2023
  • Saint Augustine, FL

Several items were not completed before moving in. Several delays in finishing house. We spent thousands in rental fees while waiting for Pulte to finish our house. When my wife went to get an entrance key for the gym, the person to give those out to her told her she would need to provide a warranty deed before she would be allowed to use the facility. Why is this? Doesn’t Pulte Homes know of a thing called email. Could Pulte Closing just send an email stating who we are and which house we have bought. I am not impressed by Pulte Homes. One thing that bothered me was the contractor supervisor ...
