Pulte Homes Reviews

Selection process was great, manager was ver responsive to issues

The materials quality for some parts are really not worth the price, and the plumber doesn't show with his/her appointment on day.

Don’t ask for same documents several time by the mortgage people.

Work list was not completed before closing. Calls to realtor and title company were not returned after closing.

Great place to call home in a Pulte built house.

The house is leaking less than 30 days after closing and the heat system is not working in just 30 days.

Workmanship was inferior. Structural, plumbing and electrical areas were missed. Homeowners had to notify construction team of concerns. Trades were careless.

Request your extra stone be left for the owner just as the extra bricks

You are able to design your home with features you desire.

It’s average. About what you’d expect from building a home from a large company. Less choices, takes a minute to respond, but they do respond on everything.

Everything went as planned and upto satisfaction

Pulte has a great team at every division. It is one stop shop for home buyers. They took care of mortgage and insurance as well. It would be nice if the houses/rooms are sound proof. Even a small noise in the living room or any other room can be heard the entire house. They have good team who are pretty responsive and takes care of the issues that we encounter after moving in/warranty period.

The weekly construction updates were very helpful and comforting. We always felt welcome to visit the site. The sales and construction team responded to inquiries in a reasonable timeframe. We wish there was an official 30-day walk-through after purchase.

Closing was stressful. Underwriter was still asking for documents the day before scheduled close. Lots of issues on the initial inspection that weren’t addressed. Still lots of issues to take care of on the 30 day inspection. Not great quality of workmanship. Lots of paint splatter from walls to ceiling

I do love my new home! The design, features and options are exceptional! I believe there could be improvement in the final stages of completion before closing. The house had paint paint drips on the floor tile throughout the house, the washer was not fully installed causing a flood during the first load and the house was not properly cleaned prior to move in. A Pulte punch-out team would be ideal to to take care of these concerns prior to move in. The warranty manager has efficiently addressed most of the concerns identified after moving in.

We have built several homes, but never from a distance. Initial contact and questions were handled. Decisions made by Pulte during construction were questionable and we were never consulted. Now decisions and construction quality are "our problems". We understand getting the best price, and Pulte did good with that, however the cost in attention to detail is higher than we would have liked. Still happy with the design, but we will be "fixing" our NEW home for some time to come.

Overall, Pulte was fine. We are one of the first homes on our street, and the contractors and trades working on the other houses do not respect our property line, and play their radio (music) way too loud!

I would make sure that all issues with the construction of your house be resolved before closing on your house.

With any new build, there are going to be issues and naturally the construction crew is going to be understaffed and overworked. The quality of the materials are just OK, especially the cabinets. The wood is soft and the paint scratches off so easily. Ours weren't installed correctly so we had to go through and re-install a lot of them. And there are always going to be little things that just weren't done correctly. Switches that weren't installed correctly, or one switch for 7 different lights. It took the entire length of the build, from framework until 6 weeks after we moved in for them to finally install a window in our guest shower area that didn't show the entire neighborhood the person showering there. I asked and asked and asked. So if you can overlook little things like that and the standard crazy upcharges for everything, then this was overall a good home. Our purchase experience was just OK, we just wish more things had been explained to us at the get go. But overall we are happy with the home. It was just an exhausting experience to go through. ...

Building of this house would have been much smoother if the field manager was more attentive and aware of selections to make sure correct selections are installed and also to have more communication with the buyer during the process and what to expect during the construction of the house. Sales associates were all very helpful but should know more about construction to answer questions when choosing to purchase a home since you don't meet your field manager until well into construction. Closing went smooth, house completed in time frame predicted.

Would have gave them a 5 but they was in such a rush to meet their deadline that I had to keep asking questions about the same problems items I wanted fix. PM was patient with me but I just feel like the whole build was rushed.

People were very friendly but don't know who has to communicate was. I received the papers concerne the HOA about 3 weeks after having signed and paid my house. I was told the we will be informed about the activities that are organise it is now 3 months that I moved in the house and still haven heart anything,

I've read a lot of reviews about Pulte. And I've seen a lot of complaints, most seem like the people just weren't paying attention but a few are valid. Communication, build quality, etc. We rarely got updates on anything with the house at first. If we didn't bug and email and text and call constantly we had no clue what was going on. We always wanted to see what the inspection reports were but we never did. That's how involved we were. We wanted to know every piece that went into this house. We drove over 9 hours several times just to get an idea about what was going on. With things like the roof impact rating, the builder and seller had no idea what we were talking about. We had very little control over small details that felt odd. If you buy a Pulte house you're getting the specific build with very little deviation. Post buying, a lot of the issues were fixed in the first month and they made sure to get the right people out to us more than once if something wasn't right which i appreciate. We somehow got a hold of the area manager (who's awesome) and things moved much faster. 2 months in and we have a few issues left, some minor, at least three major. The unfinished basement is great but I spent several days actually sweeping out the sawdust, nails, cigarette butts, and gas station cups. So that's nice. Things like the door stopper weren't' even aligned with door it was stopping but they fixed it. Our garage door is jerry-rigged because (and its assumed) someone put a nail through the electrical cables. No idea what the resell value of that will be. We have a list and almost every week one thing gets fixed. We understand we're not the only house and there's only so much people can do during the pandemic. And it hasn't been so bad an experience that I'd say I'd never buy a Pulte home again. I'm in the military, the next potential place we may go, we looked up if Pulte builds this model out there. But it should be said, if you buy a Pulte home, stay on their butts. GET A THIRD PARTY INSPECTOR A WEEK BEFORE CLOSING PEOPLE! He found a few things we never would've noticed. Yes, i had to deal with a lot of paper work for the mortgage. ITS A MORTGAGE IT SHOULD HAVE PAPER WORK! But the pulte mortgage people were always available and yes they're going to bundle and sell your loan, that's standard practice. But they were great too. Look, you're buying a house, it's a big deal. Don't just ignore it till it's done and trust that it'll be perfect. Annoy, bug, threaten and cajole because if you don't there's no telling what will happen. And once it's bought, stay on them anyway. I think most people just go silent or get frustrated easily and they don't want to deal with it. We still have major issues with the master bath, the grading of the land under the deck, the actual deck is very wobbly. We'll keep on them. But overall it's a fairly good house. But it does have issues. ... More

Overall a good experience. There were some communication issues and I wish Pulte had tried to reach out to me instead of me trying to contact them first. But my home is beautiful!

Overall good experience. Not responsive to small issues. That part is disappointing.
