Pulte Homes Reviews

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.

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.

Within 60 days of moving in we had a kitchen cabinet fall apart. Opened a claim to have it repaired. Here we are 60 days later and no one has been out to fix the cabinet. Only emails and no show for the schedule repairs to be done. Dont purchase from PULTE HOMES.

Do not expect same as they treat you in the beginning. They will treat you great and make you feel like the entire home buying process will be fast and easy in the beginning but that is wrong . They will guide you to get mortgage from their own company with more benefits and easier process which is not correct . Pulte mortgage is even more worst . I will recommend to use outside mortgage . They have postponed my closing more than 5 times . Loan consultant’s wrong guidance made the whole home buying process and experience worst . On the construction side there were some electrical and pluming issues but they came to fix after my request. ... More

We closed on the 6113 Nauman home with Pulte on November 21, 2023 with the promise and understanding that the house was “move -in ready.” However, we received a home that was not finished, poorly constructed, and not cleaned. After more than a month of our closing date, we haven’t been able to live in the house. We don’t have a home at the moment and people are still working on fixing issues that should have been fixed before the closing day. We did understand that there was an issue with the flooring in two if the bedrooms and that it would take the construction team a day or two at the most to fix the issue. However, this has turned into a much bigger issue that has made us question the entire quality of the home’s structure. In addition, we are now looking at a much longer construction timeline. Most importantly, we are seeing that this issue with the flooring is affecting the entire home and we are very concerned that this home will have long term issues. Almost the entire upstairs floor is getting fixed, both your field manager and costumer manager both agreed that the original work on the home was horribly done. In addition, they both agreed that they wouldn’t pay the price we paid for this house with so many issues (I am attaching pics of the floor situation). In addition to the flooring issue (now in the majority of the upstairs), the master bathroom was done very poorly and has many sharp edges in the bathroom and tiles that are sticking out. In addition, the paint job is messy, the framing on the doors and baseboards were not sanded before being painted, the gas stove was not hooked up, there is paint on the floors, the house was not cleaned, there was trash and nails in the backyard, and we know that the first floor is not level. These are just a handful of issues, it is impossible to name them all. We have sent pictures of all around the house where things were not finished or done very poorly to Chris and Becky. But the more we walk around the house the more things we find. Like I said before, we don’t have a home to live in right now and this is a very big inconvenience. I spoke to Becky this morning and I told her that even if everything gets fixed at this point, we are going to need a monetary compensation. These inconveniences have added extra cost to our lives. We have to compensate the people we have staying with, their utilities have gone up, we are eating out because we don’t have a place to cook, and we have to pay for child care to be at the house while the crew is working. We are rearraign our work schedules so we can be at the house while things are being fixed or asking to work from home, to be here for the crew. In addition, we are now having to drive an extra 15-45 minutes to work and to drop off our son at school because we are no longer staying in the neighborhood. We have small kids who are now away from their home, have less time with us, and have had to adjust to a variety of changes due to the additional work on the home. On top of everything, this whole situation is putting a lot of emotional stress on us and on our kids to the point of affecting our relationship as a family and as spouses. As I stated in the beginning of this letter, your company did not fulfill its part of the agreement and sell a move-in ready home. We expect Pulte to make things right. ... More

We have had nothing but issues since the whole process started. First, our original sales person left the neighborhood and was MIA. We ended up with three different construction managers. We had a long list of items to repair, replace, and/or fix and Pulte has dragged their feet at every opportunity. The few items that been address are still not meeting our minimum expectation.

The sales agent in every step threatens to cancel the deal and take the five percent deposit. Finished an incomplete home and still things are not getting resolved. Emailing and multiple people. Everyone says we will resolve and still have unresolved issues. Stay away from them

Donot close your home with any issues pending. Construction Managers are so irresponsible and donot address minor issues despite of 10+ reminders. Lennar has a better quality homes compared to Pulte Homes. With the money they took and quality they delivered is poor. They pretend to be acting on issues but they never.

We would NEVER recommend building with Pulte Homes. They have ruined our first home building experience and caused immense stress and anxiety levels. The quality of the trades that are used on the homes are elementary. Structure and room are solid. There were children painting in some of the homes, hinges were painted and flooring was painted. Our countertop not installed straight and many of the holes cut into the cabinets appeared to be cut with the wrong tool, holes drilled and not measured properly, caulk and paint used to cover up errors. Tiles were cracked in the master shower. Throughout this process, we communicated issues that we saw with the construction manager and upper levels of management, no on ever apologized and they promised quality and to fix the issues to ensure we loved it. We have been there for a month and continue to find areas that aren't painted, tile that is chipped and cabinets are TRASH. Quality does not exist for this company and they will work to cover it all up. They need to work on process improvement, they do NOT deliver a quality product. Homes were started after ours and homeowners moved in before us, priority is not considered with Pulte. You are treated like a number and their homes are over priced. Their "process" does not work. Closing date was pushed several times due to trades not completing their work on time and construction manager not managing the process adequately, which cost us additional funds in interest hikes. RUN. JUST RUN. PULTE IS AWFUL. Look at other builders and do your homework. ... More

I would not recommend buying a house from Pulte. I had a horrible experience with Pulte. The field manager is not focusing on the build. I had many issues after closing my house. They are not fixing the problem yet. My field manager is lying a lot. They messed up the staircase, interior doors, curtains, rods, etc.; I will move to a higher level to fix all my issues.

The “supposed” to be a brand new home by Pulte home has a faulty HVAC equipment which took over a month for some one come and take a look and after 2 attempts still not fixed , why would a brand new home that priced at 1.25 million have a broken HVAC which is not even a month old ? Where is the quality here pulte homes? shame ! My family spent thanksgiving in a cold home , thank you for nothing Pulte homes !

I have two sinks plumbed incorrectly. There is a piece of trim that was never installed. Carpet nails stab your feet in the main floor living room. When it's windy the southern siding make a lot of noise. I'm concerned that the furnace won't pass inspection due to a valve touching the door. Windows and other fixtures were never cleaned post install. Places that were shown to have defects in the walk throughs were never fixed.

We had electrical problems, plumbing problems, ac problems and many more. What a joke of a builder you are

When I viewed the home at the open house there was a 4ft puddle in the basement. I was told that it is was residual water from the basement floor being cleaned. Fast forward 30+ days after closing and $599,990 later, I have a 4ft x 3ft puddle in the basement in the exact same location. Shame on me for trusting their word. Will they fix it? Even if they do, that’s a lot of money to spend on being hoodwinked.

I am very dissapointed in the home. There are visible defects in many areas and I don't have confidence in the construction. I don't plan to move in. I felt rushed and misled in the process and when I tried to cancel the purchase they made it clear they'd keep my deposit. Issues haven't been resolved. Very, very disappointing.
