Pulte Homes Reviews

I am writing this review to express my deep dissatisfaction with Pulte Homes. My experience has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. Here are the main issues I have encountered: 1. **Lack of Customer Service:** From the beginning, the customer service has been abysmal. The CM and management I dealt with were rude and insensitive to my concerns. They displayed a complete lack of empathy and professionalism, making the process even more stressful. 2. **Need for ongoing services Shortly after moving in, we discovered an infestation of pests. We have had the AC and electric out 3 times and are still getting it serviced. It’s unacceptable to move into a new home and have to deal with such problems. 3. **Missed Upgrades in Plans:** The upgrades that were promised in the initial plans were not delivered. This was a significant factor in choosing Pulte Homes, and the failure to provide these upgrades feels like a breach of trust. If we didn’t catch the mistakes, Pulte would have gotten away with it and took the money. 4. **Lack of Response from Management:** Perhaps the most infuriating part has been the complete lack of response from management. Multiple attempts to reach out and resolve these issues have been ignored. It's clear that once they have your money, they no longer care about customer satisfaction. In conclusion, I strongly advise against choosing Pulte Homes. The combination of poor customer service, unfulfilled promises, and unresponsive management has made this an incredibly regrettable decision. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for your home purchase. ... More

Our experience with buying from Pulte has been terrible. Construction manager Colton reassured us that the problems we had prior to closing would’ve been fixed afterwards when in fact, they did not. No communication from him apart from when we needed a new sliding door but instead left a white patch on my wall without paining over due to an error on the constructions team behalf. Our sales representative Monira hardly ever reached out to answer our questions, unless she needed something from me and my husband. You would think we would be treated better and the build quality of a half a million dollar home would be an impeccable experience but it’s not instead I’m sending in pictures to warranty for things to be fixed in my home four MONTHS after closing! ...

Overall awful experience dealing with Pulte at every level. We were under contract for a specific package - after signing, Pulte changed the paint and carpet package and told us if we don’t like it we can back out of the purchase (Jake). We’ve had mismatched white paint colors in the house, paint over outlets, We’ve had 7 doors now that don’t latch, nails/rusty screws all over the outside of the home, siding falling off the house, wavy baseboard, ZERO escrow updates, and no one within the Pulte group will respond to us. Jack specifically told us if he made improvements to our home it would come out of his bonus. We addressed issues like sharp tack strips and he refused to correct them over 1+ month. My child then bled over our white carpet on those strips. Inexcusable and we are considering legal action. Corey gives zero updates on the remaining escrow updates. Ignores emails and doesn’t follow up. Additionally, he promised escrow updates that didn’t take place. Ben makes empty promises and doesn’t respond to messages. It’s no wonder Corey and Jack follow in his footsteps. We have had opportunities to recommend our friends to Pulte, specifically friends looking at Pulte homes and have told them to go with other companies. I’ve spoken with regional manager Rick Lechernberg, who assured me customer care would contact me about my issues, yet I’m sitting for a week+ still waiting for any sort of contact. Everyone within this organization wants to point the finger in order to secure their paycheck, while not caring for the customer needs. Awful customer service, awful craftsmanship, awful customer service, awful follow Up. You are a number within this organization and as soon as the purchase is made you are nothing to them. They tell contractors to enter your property with ZERO update or notification. I won’t recommend this company to anyone I care about. Because no one I’ve talked to in this organization cares. ...

It’s was not the kind of experience we were looking for. House had multiple issues before closing. We closed on the house. The project manager promised us to repair all those issues before closing but didn’t happen. After closing when I asked when he will repair those issue, he told me to call customer care and he doesn’t work at this location anymore. I had to get in contact with regional manger to get the ball rolling.

I can’t even begin to waist anymore energy on Pulte, worst experience ever. Don’t even consider using Pulte. I am so disappointed in everything especially looking back at all the red flags. I’m embarrassed.

Completely horrible AC UNIT everything broke

Builder is bad Sales rep is bad Quality of building is bad Post construction service appointment experience is worst What do you do if I give this review you just throw it then what’s the point leave it

Over a year delayed. House is rushed, their quality is terrible. They try to make up excuses not to fix issues. Please avoid Pulte homes at all cost. This was my second new construction home and it’s an absolute nightmare compared to my other home.

Overall unprofessional experience. I have highlighted this in multiple surveys with names and examples and have received no response back which emphasizes my negative experiences and bolsters my advocacy to warn others to stay away!

Don't buy home a home from Pulte. They will rip you off like they too is.

We had a very bad experience with Pulte homes in the home buying process and mortgage process. Terrible experience and never want to buy a home with Pulte again.

Very poor service! Even before I moved in i was sent a water bill for over $600. I should not be responsible for something I have not used. Pulte management was not willing to help. The patio door is of low quality. Tiles are laid unprofessionally. Even the smoke detectors are not in working order. I will not recommend Pulte homes to anyone. My brother was planning to purchase from Pulte, but he changed his mind after my experience.

David H was awesome! Constantly kept me updated the whole process. Took lots of pictures and sent along every step . You could see he truly loves his work and strives for perfection

My experience is not a pleasant snd happily one Pulte hires unprofessionals just to get the job done snd they collect their money from the mortgage people to the closing table a big mess then you have the building supervisor that don’t and over his head to make sure issues are corrected. I can show pictures of my garage that the superior said that is acceptable I will post pictures later.

The post sales experience has been disappointing. Workmanship is sloppy with poor quality control. Expected the home to have been in better condition upon closing, especially given it is a new construction. Issues pointed out at pre-closing were not addressed and 6 weeks later, still waiting for resolution. There have been new issues with the home just in the last 3 weeks. Customer Care is unresponsive. Would not recommend.

Do not buy with Pulte Homes.

Home was filthy when I received keys, cabinets were missing shelves, crown molding missing, paint all over garage and back patio. Paint in grout in bathroom. Numerous other attention to detail issues.

Pulte homebuilder made my life miserable during this transaction, put me and my wife through the WORSE experience EVER even having her in tears. Consumers need know their options, and are educated in Pulte's business and their tactics. Get an inspection during the home build process and final walkthrough! Pulte Home builder colludes with Pulte Mortgage to approve buyers not on whether you are qualified or not, but based strictly off a financial gain or loss. I am a very qualified buyer, my file confirms this point how they operate. Reminder, it's a non refundable earnest money deposit! Do your research and always have back up lender in place during the transaction so you don't lose your house, earnest money or incentives they will not honor to their benefit. DO NOT recommend doing business with them! ... More

Found fa bunch of issues during pre-purchase inspection. Though they promised to fix those, non of them were fixed, Only cosmetic work done and others were ignored, but provided wrong status to us. Same issues reported by other buyers in the community. Multiple issues noticed during move-in, submitted tickets. The agent promised to fix the issues during the purchase process, but not updates after that. No response to follow up. Prior to purchase, heard Pulte was a good builder, but now would not recommend to anyone after the experience.

Save yourself from pain and misery and look somewhere else.

i am an educated professional who purchased a home in dove mountain from the state of Washington. during the experience, i returned every month to evaluate the process. the construction manager Corey, was very effective and as was Jessica in the design center. i initially had problems with Pulte mortgage, however, they came through at the end. the sales agent, Bly was completely not involved and of no significant advantage. there were so many issues regarding the construction of the home, that if i were not present to point them out, they would have been missed. at closing, so many issues remained, however, i was assured that if i closed, they would all be addressed post-closing. it has been now three months and still some remain, and some just recently addressed. i am so without sleep concerning myself with these issues, from someone apparently spilling something in the pantry to discolor the grout, the sliding screen door not closing and locking properly, paver issues and paint issues. Corey is overworked and has been attempting to get these issues resolved, however, many still remain. Jessica has not returned by initial closing inquires, Bly never sent out a congratulations, and at closing, they could not even provide a folder for my closing document, just a clip. how cheap and unresponsive Pulte has been. i should never have provided 10's so easily at closing, but i was led to believe it was necessary for employee's best interest from pultes standpoint. Corey deserved it at the time, but now he must be overworked and concerned, perhaps at precautions from Pulte. i am a very educated hospital administrator and lawyer and many of my friends, are surprised that i have been so understanding and not have gone of social media. quite frankly, i am discussed with Pulte and may need to hire my own contractors to finish the work, but that would negate the warranty. i can assure Pulte, that at the 11th month warranty period, i will hold pulte responsible for everything. how could you not notice at closing the stained grout in the pantry, the uneven paver walkway into the courtyard, the inoperable sliding screen door, all the paint issues inside and outside of the home, etc. now, i find Pulte to have questionable employees and construction standards and if i go on social media, i am an articulate person, with many photos. I am so sorry that i purchased my dream home from Pulte. ... More

Bad quality, things break down in the first month

I would like to share my experience regarding the recent home purchase. While the cost of the home was nearly a million dollars, the quality of the construction is subpar. It is evident that the construction team lacked experience or was not adequately skilled to complete the project to a satisfactory level. There are several issues with the flooring, electrical work, garage, walls, and paintwork I can keep going on. The manager rushed through the walkthrough as he had another appointment. There was no proper walkthrough provided. I am unsure of what other priority tasks he had when the walkthrough was scheduled, and he did not give enough time to explain and consider the concerns of the customers. Although they assured me that they would take care of all the issues, nothing was done and I am dissatisfied with the construction. ... More

PULTE is very negligent with poor materials, poor finishing. Terrible experience with this he employees since the sales department until construction manager and customer relations. We don’t recommend this builder ever and never.

Please do not buy from Pulte! We were delayed for months and their management is unresponsive and only had excuses for their mismanagement with the city. Quality of the home was horrible and took many attempts and request for them to fix anything. I still have things that still need to be fixed after a month of being in the house. Avoid this builder at all cost. Many other builders are out there that can provide better service and quality.
