Pulte Homes Reviews

Responsiveness is quite disappointing.

It was ok. Not great but not bad. The trades moved too quickly and didn’t do a quality job.

I still haven’t moved into the home because I’ve spent my days cleaning a mess that shouldn’t be there. I was told that the blue tape items that we put in during the celebration meeting would be taken care of by the morning of the closing. I came on the morning and Jeff told me that the painter couldn’t get to it yet and told me to go close and come back and that it would be. I gave him my garage code, came back the following day to most of it completed still some not and a dirty house which I had to sweep up and clean myself.

The sales people were great! ! Seems like Pulte was doing the bare minimum to close on the house and promising to fix items that were missed. If you didn’t catch any problem on the walk through, they say it’s not covered. The quality of the finish work on walls and woodwork are not good. No accountability!

I purchased new home from Pulte in Georgia. I heard from my real estate agent that they were good builder. On the closing day, house was incomplete. Some of lights and plugs were not working. Doors were not closing. Some door handles were placed wrong way. Exposed insulation around door and window frame. Strips in new window fell off. Floor, carpets were not cleaned. Stains on floor, door handles. They had to reinstall tiles in all bathroom for some reason. That caused damage to door edges. Stairway was never polished. These are few things to mention. This gives an experience of buying a used home. They have good warranty on paper, if they fix the things. More than a month after closing, we are still awaiting to get things fixed we have complained about. ... More

The homesites are very dirty with garbage strewn all over the lots. Large amounts Roofing nails and other types of materials strewn across lots. Chicken bones, beer cans and other food materials left in house EVEN AFTER ASKING TO HAVE REMOVED AND KEPT CLEAN. Workers used our toilets instead of the porta johns. A very mismanaged site and overall lack of supervision. Other buyers should beware that the quality is lacking and Pulte is very good at saying no first and then sometimes accommodating your needs. After moving in the ongoing construction workers are very rude and unsafe and have access to our community 24/7. Pulte thinks that they have all the answers already and maybe need a little self reflection to make their company closer to what they want to portray. The title company and sales person were the only shining stars. ... More

despair it and replace. it this makes the third time they have been here. two tones of brushed nickel. on shower glass frame. out of fairness they have a great process but it currently broke with the issues they currrently have with subcontractors and vendors.

Bed and solving issues And not getting back to you

They should have done good quality work!

We recently bought a new Pulte Townhome in Oak Tree in Oakland Park FL. There was the usual delays as expected with new construction. We are happy with the finished product. But buyer beware, there is virtually no sound proofing between the units. I have buyers remorse. We can hear our neighbors TV and hear them talk (mumble). Thankful we at least have an end unit. This is unacceptable. This is my 8th townhome and I never had this issue anywhere I have lived. I feel like I'm living in a 500k apartment. It's heart breaking.

We did our walkthrough with the project manager. Marked many things. Things that should’ve been an issue frankly. Project manager also didn’t take very good notes. Upon move in, many of those things marked were still incomplete. We continue to find things wrong. Outlets not working, grout work bad, light switches uneven, dead/dying plants (irrigation was turned off for repairs, but not reactivated in time to prevent plant damage)… Project manager has been slow or completely unresponsive. Now we find he’s been terminated from Pulte. Our home is far from “model quality “

Our home was 6 weeks delayed which was very hard since we were moving out of state and had sold our old home 4 weeks prior to closing. We've been in the house for over a month and punch list items are still not completed. The day we closed we came to a home that was full of workers, no supervisor and no deadline. The walls were still being painted 3 days after closing. We were unable to fully move in and settle which with 2 children and pets and working from home situation while coming from out of state was a nightmare. Very dissapointed.

We received weekly updates until the month we proceeded to close. The closing date shifted twice due to incomplete projects. We acknowledged a ticket escalating missing appliance items in July (on the day we closed)…its now September—2 months with later no progress. Our neighbors warned us that once we close and complete the survey, customer service would deteriorate which it did—significantly. My wife and I are both military veterans (Air Force) and this is by far the worst experience considering we have purchased custom homes in 2 other states.

Overall, quality and workmanship is good, but not good enough for the high prices they are asking. Should pay more attention to details, especially the painting.

Inconsistent communication with construction manager. Unfinished repair six weeks after problem brought to attention of construction manager.

Please do not close on your New construction Property Purchase until you are totally satisfied with the outcome and get everything in writing. Because once you close and there is some concerns that you have or had that where not address you may not get those concerns met, and you may get the brushoff treatment.

The quality doesn't seems to be that great. few items pending from walkthrough are still pending to be fixed. The flooring is not what we selected and is damaged

We have been very disappointed in the final workmanship in our home. We have November 1 scheduled for the fixes so we shall see. Additionally, we do not have the right appliances in dryer, refrigerator and others. Our order was cancelled when I called last week. Also I would have purchased more items if it had been clear they were structural but was told it was design meeting. So Pulte could have made even more money.

The home came out ok, but all the little details such as painting, caulking and grouting were done very messy. I still have grout stuck in the middle of tiles that was never removed. I found that my guest tub was installed cracked and they tried to patch it up, this is unacceptable for a brand new home. Overall not a great experience for my first home.

As we walk through our home, I see so many flaws, lack of heart put into the smallest things. The caulking looks like a childs work, corners are not squared and off on sides, counter tops drilled for 3 holes and there should have been one. Instead of replacing, it was covered and left as if we wouldn't notice. It was attempted to be fixed, but for sure still noticable! Cabinets are leaning and it has taken forever to get them to even call us back. The carpet on steps is unraveling. Im having a hard time with all the imperfections! On a new home??

From purchase leading to closing I felt it was a good experience. However, upon closing I felt the celebration was not a celebration as the home wasn’t fully ready. House was dusty, dirty, not cleaned, paint touch up needed and was not presentable for a ready move in. Upon moving in I did experience nails poking people’s feet around the carpet area, which I questioned the quality of work. Having said that the thing most affecting the rating is related to the “fungus” gnats issues I’m been dealing with since moving in. I was told pest and bugs are home owners problem. However, I did not caused it. Nonetheless I did everything from cleaning my house, windows, spray store bought solutions as well household solutions on the gnats. These were only temporary. The gnats continues to be swarming around my windows and house. Upon further inquiry I was told, though rare, these type of gnats are caused by the soil the home is build on. The recommended solution by Pulte was to pour bleach in the drain. I would think that if you value your customers, you would want to get ahead of this before the issue become bigger rather than washing your hands of this. My neighbors all have this issue and we all reported it. ... More

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

I think there was a rush in completing the home, compromising with quality.

Love the plan and the neighborhood, but beware - they were not great on correcting issues. We’ve built multiple times but this is the first time we’ve ever had a builder admit that something was constructed incorrectly and then ask us if we would rather correct it ourselves. About half of the issues they just never fixed, and getting an escalation contact was next to impossible.

If you have a home with on demand water heater makes sure it works properly, Otherwise cold showers. Make sure all sewage lines have been cleared of construction debris. Respond quickly to any water leaks that the City of Rio Rancho, NM, informs you about.
