Pulte Homes Reviews

I am very happy with my new Pulte home!

Don't close until everything is done

Pulte gives very few choices and charges a premium for many things that we felt should be included in a house. Although I realize Pulte is not a custom builder, we were disappointed by the selections, workmanship, and quality of building materials.

They made me and my wife feel like family

Just know that the craftsmanship can be better. I've recently found out more and more issues with my home and.

the floors and walls in our front hallway and laundry room were ripped up due to water leak and have remained unfinished for almost a month.

I hesitate to spend any time on this survey because I completed a survey a few weeks ago and I took a lot of time filling it out and there has been no follow up about the feedback I provided.

The team was informative when we asked questions. When we asked for help and services, they readily provided service and assistance.

I love my Jensen unit. It is just perfect for me. I was concerned that I would hear people in the adjoining units but once your in your unit you don’t hear anything! I’m very happy with my choice.

I love Lexington plan we built with Pulte. There is a lot of space, closets are big. House is keeping cool well during hot days, I noticed energy efficiency compared to old house we used to live. That 2 stories house needs only one AC unit!

Some minor kitchen cabinet adjustments noted after we first moved in were taken care of promptly.

This was the 3rd time we have a house built. Without a doubt, this was the best experience. Sale manager and field manager were great at their jobs.

The experience was very satisfactory.

We'd like to thank Jared for his dedication to the quality of our build. He made sure every detail from large to small was taken care of and made our experience a great one with Pulte. Even after closing he has been a great resource.

Our sales and construction representatives were very responsive and friendly and the condo is overall nice but we have had several issues. They pushed/forced us to use Pulte mortgage even though we already had our own broker. We applied, but ended up using our broker as Pulte couldn't match. That pushed the process back 2-weeks waiting for Pulte's underwriting review. Also, had many delays in closing as the condo was not appraising. Had to wait for more units in the development to close so there were additional comps. In terms of build quality, I wish we would have requested an independent inspection before we moved in to prevent a few issues. The day we moved in the utility room flooded. We have a ranch with no basement so this shouldn't happen with a new build. It took several days for Pulte to respond to our service request so I ended up fixing it myself. Once the HVAC company came out they said the entire system was built incorrectly. The drain is actually the highest point on the floor so water has nowhere to go. This is a major issue and should have been caught by the builder during construction. Also, the refrigerator wouldn't stay on as outlet was GFCI and kept tripping. The kitchen fridge doesn't actually have to be GFCI and the fridge worked fine when using a standard outlet. The master bathroom is designed weird, no shelving in the shower for soap / shampoo and nowhere to hang towels near the shower which means you have to walk wet across the slippery floor. Also, the light switch near the toilet is in the back of the room which is annoying at night as you have to walk to the end of the dark room to turn on the light. It should be next to the door. Overall, I would still recommend as it is nice to have a new build and our initial representatives were easy to work with. Just be aware that "new" doesn't mean that everything was done correctly. I just would have expected a better attention to detail with the design and build. ... More

We have built two homes with Pulte. And overall they have a quality, well built product. The staff members that we worked with were fantastic!!!

The Pulte Team from start to finish were all extremely professional, helpful, and friendly and were always prompt to address any questions. Wonderful team to work with!

Has been a good experience but, now that moved in, the things that still need to be done are not getting done very quickly. I hate that window screens have small openings in them. Loads of little bugs come in at nite b cause they are drawn by the lights. Ugh.

Overall good. Build fit and finish could be much better. Grass not properly cared for prior to closing.

The project manager was exceptional (consistent communication & responsive).

Bought this home after coming to know Pulte homes are good at construction and they take care customers well. Realized that they are no more as the community was sold out and they wanted to handover the pending homes soon and move out. It was supposed to be inventory home with upgraded materials and we did not have a chance to choose any further. Had poor laundry flooring, handrails, poor paint quality (know that we had to wait for a year to settle down, but the paint that I got was very poor quality). More than a month now after closing but there were many pending items and still not fixed. There were many missing items in the build (tissue holder, towel holder, towel ring), back side door entry door was fixed right in front of floor air vent. Some of the fixtures (done via contractors) had loose fittings, improper workmanship. One would think the field manager is the one who pulls over all contractors and inspect what is in the build and what was completed however we had to end up in telling him many missing things. Not sure how they would keep their promise of coming back after 1 year to inspect and fix things once the home settles down. ... More

Chris was very responsive and still is .

The builder needs encouragement, like any employee. They are very busy and can get side tracked with so many jobs going on at the same time. They are not self starters but if you make needs known sometimes they will work with you. For the most part they cannot custom anything. They have some phenomenal people working for them and that can make any organization great. We had some excellent experiences w/ some staff.

Very informative about the entire process and made it simple for me as a 1st time buyer.

Started off with a good experience, overall excitement and eagerness to move in. The neighborhood was oversold too quickly and then the delays started. Understandable for weather delays and supply shortages (who could’ve predicted the market and wood supply issue) what wasn’t understandable was the lack of communication and the excuses we ran into. For any issues or potential issues we brought up, we were told “it’s up to code” for delays we were told “you should’ve expected delays” on our walkthrough before closing-2 days before closing, we still did not have power to the house or AC- all things our neighbors had prior to 2 days from closing. The day of closing we did a walk through to mark where paint needed to be touched up and other issues. This should’ve been done prior to the day of closing 2 hours before closing. The house hadn’t been cleaned and the paint touch ups left paint on the tile floors and some on the carpet. Things were over looked and the home wasn’t cleaned other than vacuumed, prior to us moving in etc. We love the floor plan, but not the final product handed over to us. This is our 3rd Pulte group build- and by far the most disappointing. ... More
