Pulte Homes Reviews

I think each building would have been better with a bit of more square footage. Especially with the roads in between the blocks

The warranty team is very prompt. The houses are fairly priced.

I love the home

The Sales Representative and the Building Supervisor were excellent. Both worked to build our house in the manner we wanted. But, they were constrained by what they were allowed to do. These are not semi-custom houses, but are builder houses that have some options. Even when not doing something that was on the plan would have saved time and money. It still could not be done. If we picked an option to add something there was always a charge, but when we opted to leave out something there was never any credit. We now have had to pay someone to take out and finish several areas the way we wanted. We understand that building houses in the same way aids cost containment and helps with time lines. But, to us the house purchaser it became costly and frustrating. Due to Covid 19 the warranty work that needs to be done has not started yet, but should be started in 1 1/2 weeks. The basic floor plan is very well done and the quailty is resonable for a “builder” house. There are a few things that did not make sense; 1) the light switch in the Mater bathroom is behind the door when you enter the bathroom, 2) the “built in bench” in the shower Is actual dangerous. It is 27 1/2 “ high. You have to lift yourself up to sit on it! It is recommended that a built in shower seat be no lower than 17” and no higher than 19”, 3) the decorative tile band in the shower is lower than it should be. If you are standing in the shower (which is lower than the bathroom floor) it is OK, but when standing in the bathroom it is visually not a pleasing hight. 4) there are not enough electrical outlets in the laundry room. Yes, it meets code, but a builder with Pulte’s reputation should do better. and 6) All the lights and the shower vent, in the Mater bathroom, came on with one switch. They need to be separated out. These are the things that come to mind that did not represent the very best in over all design. ... More

Working with Pulte was generally very easy. We LOVE our new home. There were just a couple of issues during the build. They were weirdly unwilling to tell us where things like light switches and electrical outlets were going to be located. These are standard floorplans (but don't call them cookie-cutter, that really offends them...) so there has to be a standard electrical diagram, but they refused to let us see it, much less have a copy. Other builders I've worked with have provided such drawings as part of the new home info packet. Secondly, we closed in early spring, and as of this writing we've been here two months, and we still don't have a lawn. We were told we'd have it in 4 - 6 weeks, but that didn't happen. We've seen virtually no activity on lawn installation at any of the dozen or so occupied homes in our subdivision that don't have lawns yet. The two or three spec homes that Pulte built and are trying to sell of course do have lawns. These are annoyances rather than showstoppers, I would build with Pulte again. ... More

Shop around before deciding to buy with Pulte. This will give you a better understanding of Value for your money. Take advantage of periodic meetings with the Field Manager such as the pre-drywall walk through so you have an idea of what goes into your home

Just purchased home in April at the start of the Coronavirus pandemic and haven’t moved in yet, but aside from minor glitches like tub faucet came off and some paint spots missed, everything looks good.

Have always like Pulte Homes but never purchased one. Always thought that the quality and workmanship was top notch. Our purchase was a bit less than that. Attention to details, caulking, painting and clean home before move in was lacking. They need to revisit those issues to make sure the customer can move in with little concern for major things such as those. I don't want to move into a home and then have to go behind a 'professional' that has 'rushed' at his/her job. Overall, they are in the process of trying to make it right and make us as the homeowner, happy. That matters!!!!

1. The overall design and "flow" of the home are very nice. The master bathroom and kitchen are two areas that rate five stars! 2. The Construction Superintendent was (and continues to be) very responsive and easy to work with. He definitely rates five stars. 3. The customer service/warranty dept. has been very responsive as well. 4. In hindsight, we should have been provided with a complete list of available standard (and custom) options. For example, the electrical service panel is rated for 150 Amps; it is very common today to build a new home with a 200 Amp panel. Because we needed more power for a home workshop, we had to hire the electrical contractor to add a sub-panel-totally at our expense. The plan for the workshop were discussed quite often with the builder, but not once was the panel rating brought up. That certainly should have been handled better. 5. There are quite a few issues (mostly minor) that need to be addressed that it seems could have been avoided with more attention to detail. ... More

Some sloppy finishing work that needs fixed. Paint in interior is terrible. But overall everything else in the home was finished quickly and nicely.

This is our first home and I'd say that except for a small detail we're pretty happy. So far we didn't find any major defects or things that can't be quickly solved with the exception of one thing: a fan on the roof. The architect (i'm guessing) thought it was a great idea to put a high power fan on the very top of the building, dead center in the middle on our master bedroom roof. We're trying to figure out, still unsuccessfully, what to do about it.

Pulte was responsive to our concerns of after sale issues. While the finishing painters were not the best and I would have a hard time calling the landscapers...landscapers, over all we love the house and are pleased with our purchase. Our salesperson was the best! And our coordinator for picking out interior design was also good, she really knew how to put everything together.

The house is nice. It was built as advertised and it has the quality proposed for this type of home. In some areas it even is better then expected. All granite counter-tops have a thickness greater than what we usually see out there. This is only one example. The "BUT" on the title refers to the common area. The Swimming Pool is WAAAY different than what was advertised. I understand that it might change a little bit but dramatically reduce the size is not a small change. This is the type of change that was planned and definitely discussed and for some rea$on they decided to save money on that area leaving to the home owners something different than what they promissed. ...

Overall good experience so far. Have not yet moved in but no major issues to date.

Overall I am very pleased with my experience and home purchase.

Great communication through the sales and construction phases. Very satisfied with the experience

Trevesta is a friendly neighborhood with great neighbors.

Happy to be own new home and living.

I must say I am pretty satisfied by the purchase. Pulte does take care of a lot of things for you, even after closing.

Ensure to receive the complete information regarding the quality of all the materials because we didn’t receive all of the details about our floor’s material.

Love the home but been having a lot of issues and I only been here two months so Im not as happy as I was when i was purchasing. Please take your time when purchasing a new home it can be your worst nightmare if you dont do your homework.

Pulte staff has been extremely responsive throughout the process.

We really like our new home. The only exception is the insufficiency of the insulation, both exterior & interior. Cold air from the outside & lack of privacy with interior walls. We think that insulation should have been more robust.

I watched this house built from footings, slab, framing, mechanical/electrical rough-in, roofing, rough stucco, insulation, wall-boarding, to finishing. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and workmanship that went into all but one of these phases. Unfortunately, the finishing was less than satisfactory. Seemingly lacking in this project was a quality control walkdown by a person with an eye on fit and finish. This logical omission would have prevented a lot of frustration experienced before and after closing.

This process was mostly seamless minimal hiccups. The sales team is very prompt and responsive, the field manager was very responsive and easy to reach. We had a third party inspection prior to close which found very few issues. My only complaint is that after move in, if there are still issues that need to be addressed, they don’t respond as quickly and are slow to Address those issues so my recommendation is to have everything fixed and addressed before move in and closing.
