Pulte Homes Reviews

For the most part, the workmanship, finishes and quality of materials are good. The customer service rep has also been generally good with follow-up. Our main concerns are with exterior factors. Garage front aprons to the narrow streets are almost non-existent (extremely short). The same goes for guest street parking - not nearly enough. Lighting at the walkways - also mostly non-existent. This makes it difficult for guests and deliveries to find our place - even dangerous. There is a small light fixture over each garage door, but less than half of them are on at night, leaving the streets fairly dark. ... More

My wife and I are very pleased overall with our home. The build process took a bit longer than we had hoped but with weather and the climate of the housing market currently it is somewhat understandable. Our building manager was helpful in answer our questions and noting discrepancies found throughout the build process as well as after closing. Although we have experienced some difficulties resolving these issues in a timely manner. I would certainly recommend pulte to others.

The painting finishes could be better. It appears that nothing was sanded before painting resulting in a rough finish

I was quite pleased with my home. The overall building process was smooth and transparent. Like most new homeowners I do worry about how quickly additional homes will be added to the community and if I overpaid with the current trends of the market. I do recommend taking the walk through with your project manager seriously and noting ALL problems prior to close. Unfortunately, they chose a horrible and unresponsive AC contractor. They have missed appointments, ignored calls and at times been downright rude. They also installed the AC improperly. Pulte is quite responsive but outside of calling the contractor there is really nothing more that they can do. ... More

New buyer 2 months in home. So far only minor issues. Good response to warranty issues.

Recently i got a inventory house at Dallas. It is nicely built. only the worry part is, it does not provide clean or smooth finish on some of the stuff. Pulte claims they are not custom grade but production grade builder, so smooth finish will be missing in some edges etc.

The sales process was bad. The sales rep didn’t listen to our concerns and let us make assumptions that he could have easily clarified. This lead to many disappointments when we didn’t get house feature we thought we had purchased.

Great value for the money. Detailed finishing work not the finest.

Our new home is beautifully designed and many many things are just perfect! But there are also many little problems that are annoying and difficult to get resolved. Nothing is urgent anymore (the one urgent problem was fixed but only after a 10 day wait). The project manager is overwhelmed so there's no way that he could possibly address the issues. We hope that Pulte will respond within the first year of ownership so we can have the perfect home we dreamed of.

Would build with pulte again.

So far all good except few minor issues here and there.

Happy with process and home

Very satisfied.

Overall a good experience and look forward to enjoying many years in our new home.

Plan for the build to take as long as the original projection window despite any positive comments regarding finishing early. If you need to make temporary living arrangements make them based on the full amount of time Pulte has to complete your build. Look at what is written down as and building modifications or interior elements on paper carefully. Mistakes were made on mine that essentially “became my problem” because I signed off on number and descriptions ( which made no sense to me) trusting that they were recording my selections accurately

As far as my experience with Pulte was excellent with the home and quality also the construction Manager Jimmy was awesome and Kelly in the office. My only problem was with the Mortgage company, I felt like they could have done better in getting me qualified and listened more to me in the beginning but my overall experience was a good one and I do recommend them as a builder.

Great houses, great materials, and an exceptional warranty.

No doubt that Pulte homes are high quality homes and the way the explain about the home is real worth .

Excellent responsiveness to consumer’s after-purchase problems or needs.

Overall the building experience was positive, they finished the home in the time they promised, quality of the build was good, some small details that were fixed. In summary my experience has been positive.

Craftsmanship leaves a lot to be desired I can not rate responsiveness because I’m still making a list and have not submitted yet but it would not let me leave it blank.

Very good communication between autumn and us. Any issues she fixed right away. House is great so far

The biggest disappointment has probably been the paint. We closed on October 23rd and we've already seen areas where the paint is chipped, wasn't applied thoroughly or wasn't taken all the way to the corners. While I understand it's not high quality paint, I personally expected a better paint for the sizable investment we made with Pulte. We will now have to hire someone to fix these issues which we felt should have been done in the first place. I would also add we have a few areas in the floors that have been pushed up. This is something we will now have to make extra time to correct through warranty. ... More

Follow up to correct issues after closing is slow. Would at least appreciate a periodic phone call or email status report on outstanding items. Has been >2 months since reported by home owner...a growing concern.

We bought our new Pulte home in August 2019. Sales and construction kept in close touch throughout the process. We expected some delay in the close date, but it ended up being delayed a total of 6 weeks. After moving in, it took three months for a few last issues to be resolved (things like replacing a door, staining the fence, wiring external outlets, etc). Although the process was a little longer and more annoying than we'd expected, ultimately we are very satisfied with our new home. The house itself is lovely and very well constructed. I would definitely consider Pulte again in the future.
