Pulte Homes Reviews

Easy to receive information about anything.

I recently purchased a quick-close home with Pulte. I can’t comment on the design process. The sales team was very responsive and helpful before and after the process. They allowed me access to the home to get windows measured for blinds prior to close. The construction manager walked me through the home and explained the ins and outs very well. When I moved in the shower leaked, the dishwasher leaked and the AC didn’t turn on. The warranty team was extremely responsive. The AC was fixed in a matter of hours and the leaks were fixed quickly as well. Overall, I worry about the resale value of the home because it appears to be priced quite high compared to other new construction in the area but I appreciate the warranty. ... More

We recently had the pleasure of working with Pulte Home Builders and could not be more satisfied with the entire experience. From the quality of the construction to the professionalism of the team, everything was handled with care and attention to detail. A special mention goes to Diana, who was absolutely outstanding throughout the entire process. As our advisor, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cared about helping us find the right home. Diana took the time to understand our needs and guided us every step of the way with patience and professionalism. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and enjoyable. We are thrilled with our new home and grateful for the support we received from Pulte—and especially from Diana. Highly recommend both! ... More

Pretty smooth process for buying. We bought another persons house who backed out so I can’t speak to the materials selection process. We had to move our closing date back a day because final inspections weren’t done, which was stressful coordinating a cross country move. Then we had a plumbing issue on night one with water coming out of a ceiling vent but they were there the next day to help fix it. We’ve been in the house just over two months and have noticed some issues with quality.

Overall I would rate Pulte a 4 ob scale of 5, due to lack of flexibility in some changes/additions. Quality was as expected and follow up has been good. Some minor is Pulte should have alerted the new owners, like no mail delivery after 60 days and “smart Home” with coordination between Guardian and Spectrum would have been appreciated. Communication on details.

I gave an overall 4-star rating and a 3-star for quality due to a few unresolved issues. During the walkthrough, the builders mentioned they would return to seal and buff the seam on the countertops in the owner's bathroom, which remains an eyesore—but that follow-up never occurred. Additionally, there are noticeable inconsistencies in the paint finish, with some door frames showing mismatched areas where gloss paint was used instead of semi-gloss, affecting the overall appearance. The buying process was great!

If it wasn't for Lisa our Sales Consultant, we would not be in our amazing new home. Thank you Lisa for going above and beyond!

Had a rocky start to the home buying experience as builder kept pushing to buy lots that we were not interested in and spending a premium for those lots. Once we came to an agreement on the lot, the process with the builder Project Mgr. Nick was actually very pleasant. The design center was a little bit of a disappointment as some of the items we selected before our actual meeting were discontinued. Meetings and weekly updates by Nick kept us in the loop with what was happening and the timeline for completion. Used their Mortgage company as the incentives were hard to pass up. Settlement itself was a breeze with no issues. Build quality and attention to detail was a big sell for us. So far post settlement, a few minor issues under warranty were addressed immediately and to our satisfaction. Would highly recommend Pulte Builders to anyone considering a new home. ... More

I think all around house buying is a really stressful experience but Pulte does a good job of making sure that you’re comfortable throughout the whole process and they make sure you are in the loop with Every step. Jeremiah is a god send. He always checking up to make sure your home is up to par and is so attentive to his buyers.

I wish there was someone who did follow up calls.

Need improvement on transparent communication during pricing and interest rate negotiation.

Overall, I could tell that high-quality materials were used throughout the home. I also appreciated the prompt responses to any questions or service requests. However, the quality of workmanship by some of the contractors left much to be desired, as there were several areas where the execution was lacking. During the interior design option meeting, it would have been very helpful to use a 3D visualization tool or similar software to assist with decision-making. Additionally, I felt that the explanation and time provided for selecting electrical options were not sufficient, which was a bit disappointing. ... More

It was a very great home buying experience

Anthony was our building manager, and he did an excellent job from start to finish. We kept our request to a minimum and he was able to complete them all.

Wish we had more options for upgrades

Love my home but issues still exist 2 months after closing

make sure what model and plane you select, after signing the contract it's difficult to change. Same as design center to choose items.

Some Great: Pulte Title (Rose), Pulte River Hall (Amanda), Building crew manager (thank you Jared!), PROBLEM And Major Challenge: Pulte "back office" has their own schedule and for a cash sale on a Pulte Builder Spec Home ALREADY COMPLETED MONTHS PRIOR - they tried to put us into their "box" instead of expiditing when there is NO MORTGAGE , house "blessed" by construction & head of River Hall community, nor any other possible delays tried to make us wait with the rest & tried to delay our closing. THANK GOODNESS Amanda (River Hall), Rose (Pulte Title), Jared (Bldg mgr), Kyle (on site Pulte sales rep) and all the staff in the customer service "phone bank" that helped me get WORD to the "back office" to GET IT DONE OR THE SALE WOULD BE CANCELLED. Well everyone EXCEPT the back office was great to work with, there needs to be some differentiation or at least 1 person (there are MANY) in the "back office" of Pulte that could be devoted to buyers in my circumstances (cash & home ready to move in) that the 3 week agreement for us to close SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CHALLENGE and taken so much of my time & all the extra efforts (THANK YOU TO ALL OF THEM!!!!) to get it closed. ...

Quality of home and materials was overall up to standards and workmanship was 8 out of 10. Our building manager was knowledgeable and responsive. Some original design decisions were unusual and sometimes difficult to make a change. Appliance quality was satisfactory but upgrades not available. Fair price. Home buying process and staying on schedule was very good however.

I must say, we have only been there 2 months, so it may be too soon to rate it. We would know more in 11 months. We had a good experience through out the build. But I am truly disappointed, rather, upset by how the final presentation was given. I had asked 2-3 times if they will clean the house before we move in and it was overwhelmingly a disappointment. Yes, the house was cleaned but not well enough. After a clean, workers would come back with dirty shoes and track the dirt through out the house. Why do they not cover the floors with either cardboard or paper? I have been told twice that the cleaning crew for the Pulte Allen Ranches community is not very good and would not recommend them to clean anyone's house. You would think that they could get better ones. This may be the 7th new build I had bought and this was close to the worse. ... More

Home buying is an overwhelming experience. I had a good experience with Pulte my question and concern answered.

We started this in June and moved in January, and the entire process was seamless. Our complaints are with the trades. There are so many oops in our home that need to be fixed that we feel bad for the project manager. We have baseboards with dents and door frames with notches that clearly should have never passed final inspection. We have walls that had indents that the painters completely missed. Although we know it’s hard to find good workers some of these people really need to be let go. Again our project manager is amazing and attends to all our needs to the best of his ability as fast as he can. ... More

The quality of materials used is what drew me to the Pulte Homes at the beginning of my search for a new home. Pulte in comparison to the other builders, the Pulte Homes aren’t just cheaply put together. I also like that they offer the larger homes with large lots where you have space & privacy from your neighbors. The homes are strategically placed to give the homeowners the utmost privacy.

I'd have liked to give 5 stars instead of 4 stars, but the inability to make changes to customize was an issue. No pocket door option, no custom-built closets, and having to buy packages of appliances with no individual appliance choices were issues for me. The home we built on the East Coast gave us these options. Our construction manager David was fabulous though.

We really enjoyed our home building process with Pulte! We had to stay on top of getting the minor things fixed and prioritized along the way, but we are super happy with the end result. Would definitely recommend this community to others.
