Pulte Homes Reviews

We got our keys on the 29th of December. Happy so far. We have found some small issues which we were told we would. Going through the warranty portion now. The salesperson was definitely the best thing so far. He was great from beginning to end. Thanks to everyone.

I was visiting the sales office for a long scheduled appointment. My presence was totally expected at that time. Pulte Management decided that this would also be a good time to terminate the sales rep I was working with. This individual was understandably very upset and told me that my complaints about his performance caused him to lose his job. Whether that was true or not, it wasn't, he should not have been terminated at a sales office with customers present. I still have PTSD about it, seriously. He has a wife and small child to support.

During the home buying process, as an attorney who handles real estate transactions, the process was a bit unconventional as there were no attorneys handling the deal, but the process went smoothly overall. However, our window is cracked and we are missing a screen and there has been no response from Pulte. We have a baby on the way and we have not received any communication on when this window will be fixed or even acknowledgement of our window issue.

The home is very nice, lots of little short cuts taken though. For the cost of the home I had higher expectations.

From start to finish, there was miscommunication, incompetency, incomplete information from Pulte. They said they would fix things and do things properly, and this was not the case. Within all the Pulte departments, there was poor communication where we showed up to close and we couldn’t even finish closing as Pulte was waiting to hear back from someone about something needing fixed….which Pulte builder construction manager was well aware of needing fixed in advance- and due to them doing things last minute and rushing, we had to sit and wait at Pulte offices to be able to finish closing. They didn’t have the proper information ready at purchase so we were told our home would come with certain things, then come to find out it would all be extra charges. Not impressed at all with David. ... More

it a great experience thank you

We recently purchases a Pulte home and overall it was a good experience. However we would advise new buyers to be very vigilant while doing your walk through. Some of the issues we identified were addressed and there were some we missed until we lived here for a few days. There was a lack of proper clean up on counter tops that were left with sticky residue. Paint drops on new hardwood floors. Stains on new tile floors.Hand rail on basement stairs not properly attached. Garage door doesnt stay closed unless deadbolt is attached. These are issues that should have been taken care of prior to moving in. ... More

The construction is about average

My experience with Pulte Homes has been marked by their commendable responsiveness to service requests during the warranty period. Their swift attention to any concerns reflects a commitment to customer satisfaction that is truly commendable. While the overall quality of the house is impressive, it's worth noting that I've come across a few non-defective issues during my time in the townhome. Instances such as outlets not meeting the expected standard were discovered, highlighting areas that perhaps could have been addressed more thoroughly during the inspection phase. Despite these findings, it's crucial to emphasize the proactive and efficient manner in which Pulte Homes has addressed any issues that have arisen, ensuring a positive and seamless experience. Beyond the service aspect, the design and functionality of the townhome contribute significantly to its overall appeal. The thoughtful layout, well-utilized spaces, and attention to detail in craftsmanship showcase the dedication Pulte Homes puts into creating a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing living environment. Moreover, the community surrounding the townhome has added value to my overall satisfaction. Whether it's the well-maintained common areas, the proximity to essential amenities, or the sense of community fostered by thoughtful planning, it all adds up to a holistic living experience. In conclusion, while there have been minor hiccups along the way, Pulte Homes has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence, swiftly addressing concerns and creating homes that stand out for their quality and design. I am pleased with my new townhome and look forward to continuing to enjoy the comfort and style it offers. ... More

How did you feel about the entire process, from initial purchase to final move-in? It was great experience to watch the house from dust to finished. How would you describe the quality and value of your new home? Overall was fine How was your experience with the builder’s team? Did they do what they promised? Did they respond to you in a timely fashion? About this part was kinda disappointed . First, when they start to build the inside of house . There is a lot of broken wood that they use did not replace after I sent the picture to the builder team . Then there’s should be a hole for air intake for AC unit. Builder team was totally forget about it before I found out the issue. Last thing I was so confused about is the drop ceiling of the master bedroom. I didn’t see the blueprint. But by the common sense, and I’ve seen some other houses. it should be higher ceiling. This is the first drop ceiling that they built to made a ceiling lower. I don’t know if it’s they just forget about that same as they forget about the hole for AC . The build “drop ceiling” afterward. because I saw it was cut and add upside down to a finished ceiling. Other than that. Joe is the best to help us makes the house look better and better! Thank you! What would you most like potential home buyers to know about this builder? This is not first house that we got from Pulte Home. Still going to recommended to friends just need to check blueprints and pay close attention to the material they use and how they build. Overall, it was great . nothing is perfect but it could be better. ... More

Compare to other builders . Pulte home is better.

We have submitted several repair requests with only one repair

Completion was not what I was looking for in some areas. Was told to many times about warranty after issues addressed before closing. Would suggest not to close until your house has been inspected by your own source because it’s cost me. Cleaning was not up to par at all.

Overall, a decent experience. Great during buying process, but too many punch list issues open at closing, and still issues open a month later. For the price paid, it would be nice if there was heightened responsiveness.

I thought that the decision making process was too quick and pushy. Then I dont think there was an adequate follow up to the various conditions of the house. Yes, I think the house is in pretty solid shape but I did not love the experience.

Buying a new build can be scary but this process was very smooth. Our home was completed on time as promised and we had a wonderful team with Monica in sales and Kevin as our project manager. They made us feel comfortable and confident the entire process. The home is lovely and we've had no issues other than a minor plumbing issue on day one that was not followed up on (hence the 3 star) but overall it was a wonderful experience. If I ever buy/sell/move again I would very much consider a Pulte home. Thank you!

Pulte is a quality builder but he’s only as good as the Sub Contractors he hires. Workmanship could have been better but overall I’m satisfied with my purchase.

good communication through out process.

Slippy work everywhere that needs to be fixed.

House have lots of defects which have not been taken care of and we are still pursuing to get it corrected.

There high level packages did not make sense .. they were not very accommodating over modifications.. we liked few things in one package and few from other also to select there are no more houses for all models neither have color schemes which we can see and realize how it will look like.. Within first week the kitchen grout came off when I told the construction manager during one week review he suggested to raise a service request Grout issue is happening with almost everyone I. Know

Follow each step with a close attention for details

Our initial building meetings went fairly well. We did run into a few hiccups along the building process. The completion of the build was within the promised timeline. The construction manager was helpful our initial sales person made a few mistakes, causing our realtor to have to do a lot of back work for us. Once in the home, the overall craftsmanship is OK there are some things that were skimped and some things that were done very well. This is our first new build, and we’ve been in the home for a month, we will need more time to complete a more in-depth review.

We love our new home but had some trouble during the construction process. Some of the information we were getting from our sales associate and construction manager turned out to be misleading. We had difficulty getting the construction manager to respond to us at all. His manager should have stepped in to assist if he was overloaded. The post closing support has been good from Julie. You expect a few minor issues here and there with any new construction and Julie has been very responsive.

We love our new home. Plan on spending a couple hundred thousand more than the base price. The lot is not included. And everything is an upgrade. Everything!! If I was younger, I would have taken the included kitchen and tore it out to remodel after purchase. I’m just not up to living through a major remodel at this point. I do feel it is mostly a quality build, especially ventilation and structure. Service after close has been prompt but they were unable to resolve a faulty low quality kitchen pull out. The convenience kitchen package was not worth it. The only other thing that looks lower quality is the baseboard and the lack of shoe molding. We were notified that our selected backsplash was discontinued and they wouldn’t allow us to go to the showroom to pick another one. They wanted us to pick it from their online link. We decided to get our own after the build. For the same price, we got a much higher quality beautiful backsplash on our own. Overall, we are very happy with our new home. It was mostly a good experience. 90% positive. We have not had any major problems after 7 weeks living here. ... More
