Pulte Homes Reviews

We have water leaking from our bathroom into our main floor, we have a sink hole in our front yard due to a suspected sewage leak, we have water coming through or basement ceiling from the HVAC system, we have water damage in our family room from a roof leak and this is just the water problems. We have electrical problems, smarthome system that was wired incorrectly, and subfloor8ng issues.

Pulte send the wrong documents to Freedom Insurance and they are charging us so much. They are still charging us for the Cancelation of the old Insurance (Putle Insurance) and they won't update. We are getting a lawyer and we are going to include Pulte for not sending the correct informaiton.

My wife and I recently purchased a townhouse in Pulte's Spring Lake community in Glen Mills, PA, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From day one, both our sales representative and construction manager were outstanding - providing weekly updates, keeping us informed at every step, and delivering our home exactly on schedule. The quality of craftsmanship is impressive, with attention to detail that shows Pulte's commitment to excellence. What truly sets them apart is their customer service approach. They've been incredibly responsive to minor items like wall touch-ups and coordinating services like trash removal. Their proactive communication about warranty services gives us confidence we made the right choice. The entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. We would absolutely recommend Pulte Homes to anyone considering a new home purchase. They've earned our trust and exceeded our expectations in every way. ... More

I purchased a brand new home from Pulte in April 2025. Just two months later, the inner pane of our double-glazed sliding glass door spontaneously shattered—with absolutely no sign of impact, misuse, or damage to the exterior pane. This is a textbook example of a stress fracture or material defect, which is supposed to be covered under Pulte’s 1-year limited warranty (per their own performance standards under section 10.5 for cracked windows and stress cracks). A properly manufactured and well installed door SHOULD NOT spontaneously crack within 2 months. It’s the right door that is fixed and does not move, so nothing hit the door. Despite this, we’ve received no meaningful support or ownership from Pulte. We’ve asked for escalation, but the response has been dismissive at best. STILL WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION! We expected better from a national builder. If this is the level of warranty service you can expect in your first year of ownership, I strongly urge others to reconsider before building with Pulte. ... More

Excellent experience with my home purchase with Pulte Homes at Verdana Village. The on-site sales and construction team and customer care representatives are top notch. Truly an easy process

My first interaction with Pulte Homes was with the sales rep Amir. Amir was great to work with! A true professional & always quick to respond via email or answer my phone calls. I never felt pressured nor was he pushy during any of our conversations. He explained every part of the home buying process. My construction manager Tremel and his assistant Denhem were equally fantastic! Both were patient & very thorough during our walkthroughs to educate me on the construction process. The quality of my home is a direct reflection of their workmanship & attention to detail. Even after Closing, they still check in to make sure everything’s going well. Thank you Amir, Tremel, Denhem and your crews for building my home! ... More

Back yard issue not being resolved.

Purchasing my home was amazing with Ete. Bryce was awesome as the superintendent. I would definitely recommend Pulte Homes!!

Debbie and Chris were GREAT on everything.

My home was a “rush” job to close on 40-50 homes at one time. I’ve had nothing but frustration and aggravation from the day I moved in. The finishing is horrendous and I don’t even know where to begin. My white tile floors have residue from grout and tape that cannot be washed off. A crew was sent in to hand clean the mess but it did not solve the problem. I’m still waiting for the floors to be acid washed. That is only one of the issues. The grouting in the shower floor was so bad I actually cut my toe on it. The cabinets throughout need a facial lift because mitered edges are separating. There is not a drop of grout or caulking behind my washer/dryer. I doubt the floors are even level. I didn’t upgrade the appliances because I didn’t feel it worthwhile since appliances barely last two years. The washing machines went off balance several times and I was told there was nothing wrong with it that I wasn’t loading it properly. When the technician pulled it away from the floor I saw rust on one side. It was a scratch and pushed it back before I could say a word. Have no idea if it was even dented! I’d never have known. I have a triple sliding glass door and one has a defect that is between the glass. Another door has a badly dented frame and some of the doors need paint because of marks that will not wash away. Regrettably, I could write a book. Some of the issues have been resolved but the going is slow. The only aspect of all this is that I pray Pulte makes good on repairing every issue to my satisfaction in accordance with their one year warranty. As for what cannot be changed or fixed I will simply have to look away. On the plus side I picked a perfect lot, have a great neighbor and I love my home. ... More

Our home is located in Eagle Run, Calabash, NC. To obtain warranty service someone must be home. This makes it difficult for us to obtain warranty services. We installed a lock box and are willing to let service people enter the home. Post closing we have noticed several areas of shoddy workmanship. We are fixing them ourselves.

We feel we have a high quality build in our new home. Everyone at Pulte has been accessible and helpful. Pulte is proud of their work and it shows. We are so happy to have chosen Pulte. They made the whole process enjoyable!

the buying experience was great and the personnel fantastic!; the Staff competence and attention to detail through the process was excellent. The after buying and having to deal with the HOA/Pulte not so great.

Have mold after 1 month in basement as it was never built properly. Flag at inspection and during build, was never resolved although promised it would be. Warranty denied for “underground spring” - you are not allowed to build on underground springs and nobody checked or proved that. They just dont want to honor their warranty for poor not up to code build.

Solar system not activated even after 3 months. When contacted pulte homes via email for help, even though we got a auto-reply we will get back to you in 48 hours(indicating email address is correct), there are no response after that. Multiple emails sent with no response from Pulte Homes.

I was very impressed with the entire home purchasing experience from start to finish. I was kept informed with the construction process weekly via phone. All concerns and/or questions were always promptly addressed. I’m very happy with the end result, house is everything I had hoped for. The few things that had to be taken care of after the move in were taken care of promptly. I have built a few homes in the past, but this was by far the best experience. I recommend Pulte builders if you want quality,responsive interaction and over all satisfactory experience.

Overall this experience was easier than the last. This build was smoother and communication was present. Project. Managers were great. Some of the workmanship had to be performed twice like driveway garage entrance and some framing. This part that can be greatly improved is the start. The sales person could of been more upfront with alot of things. Had to pry for info and options. Should not be this way.

Overall, our was good. There were issues but none that couldn't be addressed and resolved.

Everything with Sales was good. The construction phase is one where all SawGrass members (my neighbours) had issues with a Construction Manager (Dominick) who talks to customers like piece of trash. I wish i could gives Sales team (Lori) 100/10 and then the next part of construction and post closing experience is 2/10. Definitely do not recommend Pulte at SawGrass till the construction managers learn how to behave with customers. You can buy a bigger house and good construction managers at MI homes

The sales rep, mortgage process and final product all missed the mark for me. Expectations were set too high and the team failed to meet them at every step. The sales rep provided information that was misleading, the mortgage team provided quotes/offers that any other bank could easily beat (even though you are led to believe Pulte will beat any offer). And the final product is far from perfect (which for being a new construction, I expected it to be perfect). But there are knicks in the walls, the outlets are difficult to use, the screens are loose, the driveway is cracked, etc. I will not build with Pulte again. It has been a miserable experience. ...

We have multiple issues with the house. First was the A/C which was blowing out cold air from the return. Found that the duct work was backwards. There is no water spickets on the sides or front of the house. So, how do we water the front lawn? The dishwasher does not work, my wife is very mad. there are several spots in the floor of the living room that are not level. Water accumulates in the floor by the back door because there must be a problem with the weather see around the back door to the deck must leak. My wife has been texting the builders rep many times. but he isn't responding. Oh Yea, one of the draw doors in the kitchen has fallen off. We would like someone to respond to us. ... More

High quality construction and they are very responsive to fixing any issues.

Overall build was decent but finish work and final craftsmanship was disappointing.

Our experience building a home with Pulte was, unfortunately, disappointing. We initially chose Pulte because we believed they prioritized customer satisfaction and had a strong quality assurance process. At first, things seemed promising. The initial project manager clearly explained the construction process, which gave us confidence. However, as the build progressed, he failed to meet many of our expectations and requests. Near the end of construction, a new project manager (Rafael) took over. While he made a genuine effort to address some of the outstanding issues, there was only so much he could do at that late stage. Prior to closing, we were reassured that any issues would be covered under warranty. While that may be technically true, we do not expect to rely heavily on warranty service after paying a lot for a newly constructed home. Unfortunately, several quality concerns became apparent right away. The appliances provided were low quality despite the overall cost of the home. An undersized A/C unit was installed, though it met county approval, it does not seem appropriate for the square footage. The floor tiles are fragile and chip easily, and the master bathroom shower floor was poorly installed, leading to standing water in one corner due to improper drainage. Overall, I would not choose to build with Pulte again, and I cannot recommend them to others based on our experience. ... More

Buying a home should be an exciting and rewarding experience—but building with Pulte was, without question, the worst of the four new homes we’ve purchased. From the very beginning, we were never treated as valued customers. Pulte made it clear that we were nothing more than a nuisance—something they had to deal with, not serve. Every request we made was met with indifference and a dismissive attitude. There was no accountability, no urgency, and certainly no genuine customer care. It was a constant battle to get basic answers and support—things that should be standard when you’re making one of the biggest purchases of your life. We were fully aware that Pulte consistently ranks at the bottom of the top 20 national builders. After going through this experience, we can say without hesitation that they’ve earned that reputation. The so-called “3% incentive” for using Pulte Mortgage is a flat-out lie. There is no incentive—Pulte simply charges you three points to give you the same interest rate you could get from any competitive lender. It’s deceptive, unethical, and exactly what you’d expect from a builder that puts profits over people. We toured five other builders in the Charleston area, and our only regret is that none of them were building in Sea Island Preserve. If there had been another option, we would have taken it without hesitation. To be very clear: we bought this home in spite of Pulte, not because of them. We would never recommend Pulte to anyone, and if asked, we would strongly warn others to stay away ... More
