Pulte Homes Reviews

Our initial contact with Kelly in sales as well as Dayna with the design center was great. Kelly and Blake kept us apprised of stays and Blake and Bjorn have both been very responsive to the punch list. We moved in just less than a month ago and continue to work on that punch list. Unfortunately it seems finding quality labor in specific areas has been a challenge for Pulte along with the rest of our great United States since the pandemic struck.

I purchased my new home on March 9, 2020. After moving in, I have many of the experiences would like to share The construction quality is bad. The reason why I say that is because if I use the app to detect the corner, it looks like the house is not perpendicular between each woods. They just hide by the drywall and you cannot detected it when you walking into the house. In addition, I am not the only person say so, some of my friends, such as the house inspector or constructor builder also mentioned it after they came. Not only that, after two months of I moved in, there is a wire burned out. The reason is when they nailed the lumbers, it is not only they didn't nail it well, but also nailed the nail on the wire so that caused a small burned. After wire reconnection, I still can see the light flashing sometimes when I use few of electrical appliances. Not only that, I also see a not empty beer just next to the fire location, which is the worst situation I never saw. The last big issue I want to address here is that I haven't heard anything back from pulte for following repair. Sucks. ... More

Not impressed . Pricy . No big space

Great quality of workmanship with high quality materials. Quick to response and very helpful

Nothing else to share.

Overall construction was good. But we spent a ton of money on upgrades which included flooring, tile work, cabinets and counters. There wasn't much attention to deal at all. Most tiles in the master shower are wonky, and don't line up. The caulk job was amateur at best. Just sloppy. The floor they installed throughout the first floor has several spots where the planks aren't supported and the seams separate from one another. They installed a floor vent in front of my sliding rear door. They have a light switch literally wedged in a corner upstairs...which looks really stupid. The paint on the baseboards throughout the entire home and the door casing has runs, sags and major orange peel everywhere. They shot nails through the sides of my cabinets when they installed the trim on the sides. None of the cabinet drawers in the kitchen operate smoothly, it seems like there's something dragging. The windows they use are not good at all. Several are very hard to open and the are very drafty. And the screens fit really loose which allows bugs to get in no problem. It is basically very obvious the house was built with the emphasis on time and getting it done fast and not the overall quality. The house was over 500k. It looks like a slapped together flip, and not new construction. Don't spend on upgrades, they will never look as good as the model. ... More

The title company is very badly . No service, no respond or wait until the last minute to respond . The painting of our house is very bad too . Even the main contraction guy who showed us the housing before closing said It was definitely a below a average job

Overall, it is an ok experience. However, there are situations that are frustrating. they kept pushing the closing date further, which isn't great for the buyer. The worst part of the entire house is the paint job, you touch the wall, the paint goes away. List of items were identified to fix, but no one showed up for a month. Other than that, the community and town is great.

We decided to buy our first home with Pulte because we had heard really good things. But the experience has not been good. First there were hardly any flexibility on choosing different options. There was only 1 model home but pulte was offering 5 different designs. They did not had good digital experience to help make decisions. Very rigid timelines and no much flexibility on making changes. They were adamant on closing because they wanted to meet there timeliness so gave the house with so many open issues and now to resolve them I have to plead to get the attention. The standard answer is by end of spring which can be in June. But the same things are already been taken care of new houses that are been built. So it gives the impression that once they got the money, we are not priority anymore. Finally the quality of construction is below par. I am coming from old rental apartmebt and J could see they having better construction. The way the things are now going I am sure all the good will and brand value will soon be lost. Atleast I will make sure I will ask my friends to think thrice and check other builders before deciding with Pulte.whether ... More

Experience was average. A little disappointed with Lsni. Smaller than Model Unit

With supply issues and everything going on in the world, made our home buying experience difficult. We were initially quoted a 6-8 month time frame to build home but lasted over a year. We felt the last month of the home building process was rushed. Our final walkthrough we were missing flooring in 70% of the home. We were missing mirrors, medicine cabinets, and due to design center error wrong backsplash installed. Pulte construction is doing what they can. The contractors is what they are having issues with. They have also been slow to fix things since we moved in.

Buying a new home always comes with so many unknowns and Pulte made it easy to navigate the challenges around the process. There were some delays in the timelines and Pulte was forthcoming about the issues and timelines allowing us to plan better. Periodic check ins and getting updates about progress on a weekly basis from Marilyn and John was a delight. It was also good that any feedback was promptly addressed and the home was handed over in great shape.

I am happy to get in Pulte's home and overall feel that we made the right decision to go with them. However, I find it bit pricy. They need to review their base package of home design and selection to include basics instead of getting those features as part of upgrade options after paying extra. Other builders are offering such features at a competitive price. At the end I am happy as Pulte's bidding process allowed us to get into our dream home, while other builders have long queue!!

Elaine is a great salesperson. Tim is a great Customer Care Manager that coordinated fixing numerous issues after closing.

We have been very pleased with both Pulte homes we have built. Any issues that arises were handled in a timely manner. Our home is gorgeous and we can’t wait to enjoy it!

A 7-month delay that cost me almost $10k in temporary lodging, moving trucks and movers, storage units, and repairs to items that were moved an extra time to and from storage. Sales strung me along with faulty closing dates. A design center stipend should have been given yet they offered me nothing after telling me a July closing date but delivery in January the following year!

Ray was understanding of our concerns

A few areas look/feel rushed. Felt like work was squeezed in to make closing.

Love our new Pulte home

During the construction, they constantly contacted me and gave me update information. If there is a problem even after closing, they will fix it immediately.

Ryan was absolutely amazing! My AC unit wasn't working the first day I tried to use it. Of course it was 86 and humid. I emailed Ryan and he showed up at my door within the hour. He had an electrician on site so he sent him over to my house. I was worried I had a bad outside AC unit, but there was just something loose in the wiring . Ryan had my AC up in running within a couple of hours!

Overall our experience was good. We experienced delays but we eventually got to setup our beautiful home. The quality of materials and overall workmanship was good. Special thanks to Shannon from the Sales office for helping throughout the process. Responsiveness to issues could definitely improve. We have raised requests for issues and it has been over a month and it hasn’t been resolved yet.

Noah did an amazing job at communicating and working to help resolve challenges throughout the process.

Our sales rep at the beginning of the process of buying our home was fantastic. He was proactive in his communication, regularly checking in to provide updates about the progress of our home purchase and build. Our construction manager was responsive in a timely manner to our requests for updates. We understood the lack of proactive communication, because he expressed that he was extremely busy because he was the only Spanish-speaking employee in the area so had many Spanish-speaking clients he had to liaise with. Still, he was able to provide a timely response to any questions we had. As we approached closing, our contact with Pulte began to go downhill. We had several issues pop up at the last minute regarding the workmanship and quality of finishes in the home. It has been more than two months since closing and some of the pre-closing repair requests have not been addressed. The responses from the warranty department are not made in a timely manner. We have purchased other new construction homes in the past and have received much more prompt, professional service from those builders. Overall the house is beautiful but it was not delivered in the condition we contracted for. We are very disappointed with the level of service and would therefore not recommend building with Pulte. ... More

Excellent Customer Service and great product. The supply chain issues / delays could have been managed better. But still extremely satisfied with the home and the Community
