Pulte Homes Reviews

Responses and resolution to service requests takes longer

We absolutely fell in love with the model home at The Reserve at Stono Ferry. Although we love our home; the location; and the floor plan, it is obvious that the level of craftmanship for the fit and finish of the model home is of a higher standard than that of our home.

quality materials, great staff. delayed/late items that were incomplete at closing are taking very longer to complete.

Good Quality would recommend Thank You.

Initial sales experience and design studio interactions were great. Good value for price paid. Interaction with Superintendent could have been better - weekly updates were generally regularly given, but not always. Closing was delayed due to availability of materials. This is more due to the industry at the time and not the builder’s fault. At closing some issues were identified that have yet to be resolved. Warranty requests can take some time to be responded to/repaired. Overall a good experience and would definitely build with Pulte again.

Builder insisted on a closing date BEFORE roof was completely finished. After living here 3 weeks several items which we have reported still have not been corrected---like the front doorbell doesn't ring----missing bulb in light in hallway----monsoon damage to front landscape with small sunken ares and foundation exposed in another area.

Everything throughout the home building and buying experience was a pleasure. Unfortunately we had an inexcusable issue that seemed to be an issue with some other homes built but the response to those issues were beyond acceptable. They Warranty service team quickly addressed the issue and completed a full repair of the problem.

Don't close until everything is done

Floor plan was great and construction quality is decent

Love the community so far but the customer service both from the sales office and the Dartmouth group is very poor. You leave messages and nobody ever gets back with you!

We were happy with the quality of our new home. David and Trenton were very helpful.

On walk - through check carefully and make them fix issues asap

I don’t wish to add a comment other than to say that requiring respondents to do so is poor survey design.

All the people from Pulte we dealt with were fantastic. Our GC Jim, sales rep Andrea, mortgage rep Marcela and everyone else were great. Basic construction of the home was solid. Our own independent pre-drywall inspection was very good, however it was the finish work of paint, cabinetry and finish carpentry that was left short. Several broken cabinet doors, cheap flat paint with many sloppy errors, trim and door frames damaged and covered up. Other items were a damaged hood vent, electrical outlet not even hooked up, missing cabinet hardware for an entire bathroom and data cabling not terminated correctly to name just few. We have had homes built before and have been through the process. Many of these items should have been caught and fixed before move in. The good is that these items are fixable and we know we will love the home once everything is in great condition. ... More

The purchase and building process was on point! Trying to get items that need repair/replaced has been a very slow process!

The builder is good, but things are still not rectified even after doing so many follow ups.

I am satisfied with most Pulte has done. The after part needs some help. We have had some plumbing issues that are not emergency’s. Reached out to Pulte to see about getting repairs now so the issue does not get worse. It has been 2 weeks and have not heard back. Not sure if their customer service team is backed up. Either way they need to do better here.

After making a deposit, we waited months for our home to begin construction. We paid for an unfinished garage. However, the sheet rock, tape and mud were a mess and required a professional to smooth out the wall and make them paintable. All of this was added expenses that could've been avoided.

My experience was good, only I lacked that at the time of showing the property in this case the model house to emphasize what the house does not bring, such as improvements, in this case, better floors, the dashboard, the metal, and wooden handrails, improved walls. I understood that the house was delivered as it was taught to us and when I received it I was disappointed that what I had seen and bought was not what they were giving me and all because the sellers were not clear at the time of showing the property.

The price is fair, well organized step by step experience, the many options you have to choose is very nice but will suggest they add a 3D with all the structural options and the interior design options before committing to the final decisions... it is hard to visualize all and picture the final product.

Overall the whole buying and building process is fairly smooth. However, perhaps due to the current crazy market, we had to deal with too many little issues due to lack of attention to the details and, unfortunately, the fast responsiveness wasn't always there. Some examples: Faucets are all leaking - it has been told that this is normal. Totally unacceptable. Multiple spots on walls with different shade of paint - after more than a month we moved in, is still to be fixed. Poor masonry works. Overall painting works are poorly done. Carpet stained - still to be cleaned. I'd buy again from Pulte? Yes. They offer a tremendous value for the money compared to other builders around. This was my second built, first was with another builder, and we mostly had similar issues. ... More

It is a reputable builder.

This detailed finishing work isn’t what I was expecting. We were left with many spaces, shadow lines, seams and some major flaws in our sheet rock mud. A little disappointing.

We have painting touch ups that have not been addressed, have not received our refrigerator, there are 3 windows on the front of our house that were put in backwards and not replaced yet, broken irrigation pipe. We moved in April 9th and still waiting for these issues to be addressed.

The buying of our house was smooth and I want to state thet we were consistently backed up in our eventual concerns.
