Pulte Homes Reviews

Horrible experience. House was delivered after 2 years of signine and it felt like i learnt construction engineering in the process looking after everything at each step. Except for the last CM, we wouldn't even have closed in the 2 yrs. He is extremely detail oriented and focussed. He is Pultes chance for revival of their name.

My home took 13 months to complete and it wasn’t even complete! Pulte fired my project manager and gave me a new one 2 weeks before closing. The quality of work and attention to detail was horrible and the new project manager has done a wonderful job of making things right but the home took entirely too long to be built for there to be so many issues with the home.

We were on a list for building, somehow we were bypassed and lost onthe wait list. Did not get the facade we wanted to build or the lot we wanted due to being bypassed. I believe we paid more due to the longer than normal wait, 6 to 8 months.

We had a very good construction manager that finished the job. However, we went through 2 not so good managers that very not good communicators. Pulte builds a beautiful home, offers lots of upgrade options. Very disappointed with the number of cosmetic issues that we have to deal with after closing for the price point of the home that could have been taken care of prior. Now we have to deal with it over an extended period of time. We love the home, but the building process unless you are involved in a close relationship with the construction manager, can be disappointing. However, we would recommend Pulte to our friends. ...

Very happy with the house we customized. It took us one 13 months to finally close it from signature to signature. Pulte team very friendly and helpful… until closing. After closing you get to deal with customer care, which is almost inexistant. Every touch up they promised to fix after closing are still pending (5 weeks after closing).

Overall, the experience was fair to good, but there are areas that left us underwhelmed. The team at the sales office was professional, responsive, and friendly. Their genuineness was refreshing and made making the purchase easy. They felt like they were genuinely advocates for us in the process, which was a definite plus. However, the volume of homes being completed simultaneously in our development meant that many items went unnoticed or things occurred that needed to be communicated but were not, which was frustrating. Frequently emails were responded to quickly, but then the action steps needed for resolution required a follow-up email or call on our part to set things in motion. Overall, Pulte uses an effective home-building process, and the people working for them seem genuine and honest. However, because their business is based on the volume of homes they build, you may get a different quality control or attention to detail than you might expect when purchasing a home at this price range. ...

New home buyers must watch closely at each stage of the construction and third party inspection is a must. Make sure all issues are fixed before closing if they be ready for months and months of follow up. Slightly over priced so try to get discounts or credits before you close.

Poor after sale service. Not a good experience of buying a house.

Long delay in home completion; we did many BNB's. 3 + Months. Sales and marketing staff, mostly Daniella, are great. Orientation was good. Few defects found in the home. Project requests a problem; designated contact person appeared to be motivated for personal reasons. Repair request was addressed quickly.

It was ok. Could have been better but wasn’t the worse experience.

I purchased the home through online search. Though some aspects of the buying is satisfactory I still felt that Pulte has not lived up to expectations in this community.

We have not moved in yet but so far I've had so many small issues that has not been resolved yet. Workmanship on the carpet installation is terrible. Cabinets and other upgrades are still missing. Communication is obviously missing.

My sales person was great. Same as the upgrade center contact. The builder manager seems to be either overwhelmed or in an another planet (not responsive at all unless you press to talk to his boss). The warranty contact for now has been up to the task

Too many workmanship issues and delays to feel the value that a production home purchase should give

My experience with the title company was difficult and did not meet my needs. From not returning my phone calls to being oblivious to my situation with my Cape Coral home being destroyed and no internet access for their forms. Nor were they flexible with my closing date even though Pulte was not able to assure me the HVAC unit would be in place and operational before it. When several issues were noticed on my walk through I was told they would be handled and to just go ahead and close in less than 24 hrs. Needless to say my issues are not yet fixed and now it is up to me to set dates for workers to reenter my home. ... More

Really need to work on what trades you hire for your builds…we’ve had big delays from them or no response at all.. Andy has been great and the only thing trying to hold it together. He’s really the only reason for this high of a rating. Started paying for a home that still has issues.

Average workmanship,,still waiting for issues to be resolved,, almost 2 months

Solid experience overall, difficult time to really compare because of the supply chain issues and other factors out of Pulte control. BUT - the neighborhood currently has so much trash in it due to the construction and workers. I have to clean my yard, DAILY, of multiple pieces of trash.. cans, food wrappers, beer boxes, construction trash, etc. It’s really sad, and makes me disappointed that Pulte does not care for the environment at all.

I had a very good experience thru out the process with a lot of communication. That all ended when I closed. Since then, everyone has disappeared and there is no response to cleaning up the left-over issues. Also had a contractor do some work in my house and damaged my three-week-old refrigerator and again no response. If it wasn't for no customer service after the sale, I would have said Pulte was a good builder.

Everything in this house was rushed and looks like a half done job. Super sloppy work. Even the most basic things were not up to par. At first I was happy but after settling in I’m finding so many things wrong. Very disappointing.

House could have been cleaned up inside and in garage prior to move in. House number fell off and I had to glue back on

I have had considerable issues during the build. Some just normal things that are expected during construction ,and others quite surprising lapses by sub contractors and even planning by land architect or engineer. while I will not list every issue suffice it to say electrical , and HVAC subs were subpar . Two months after closing and we are still working on the punch list. That said, Jack. D., our construction Manager is the sole bright spot in this process. Personable, knowledgeable and available, as well as responsive he has been able to resolve most issues except the fact we can not put our cars in the garage because of the design of the driveway(9ft long) and the radius available to turn into the garage which forces us to drive on the neighbors lawn to park in the garage! Overall ,the home has been well built, thanks to our private inspector who pointed out issues along the way and Jack D. who dealt with them as construction advanced. ... More

Will need to be very critical of build quality issues

My biggest problem was the metal cover over the sewer drain in front bedroom

Design experience in a digital world should be digital. Not read a PDF with all your options. Should be a digital model of one’s home which allows for an immersive experience to put in options and lighting that gives you transparency in cost and choices vs. a rushed feeling when you get to the design studio. Trades are challenging and carpentry at times are a miss. The way they care for your home should be with more care and awareness of where and how they place things that are already built by other trades.
