Pulte Homes Reviews

I lived out-of-state and doing face-to-face weekly meetings on my cell phone with Charles the builder and Morgan really helped me to understand the process of my new home. There were a few bleak and stressful moments I experienced due to this being my first time getting a new home built from the ground. The Pulte sales & builder team was always there to encourage me and lift me up so I could move forward. I LOVE my new home and appreciate the craftsman ship and hard work that was done by the builder and his team!!

Excellent home buying experience with Pulte this spring.

I regret purchasing a home from Pulte. From day one, the experience has been overwhelmingly disappointing. Despite the builder's one-year warranty, I did not anticipate encountering so many major issues — it has been truly mind-boggling. We're not talking about minor cosmetic concerns, but serious construction and functionality problems that should never occur in a new home. The response time from Pulte is slow, and when service is finally scheduled, problems are rarely resolved in a single visit. Multiple trips are often required for the same issue, wasting time and causing ongoing disruption. Even when I provide detailed explanations, I feel dismissed or not taken seriously — which only adds to the frustration. For the price of this home, the quality and service are absolutely not worth it. I expected better from a national builder, but what I’ve received is a house plagued with issues and a support system that seems more focused on checking boxes than actually resolving them. I would not recommend Pulte to anyone looking for a reliable or stress-free homebuilding experience. ... More

Pulte builds a nice home unfortunately some of their finish work leaves alot to be desired.

Build structure is good : Satisfied. Interior installation : Pay attention to workmanship Paint quality : is VERY BAD.

thank you very much pulte homes

If you are buying a house from Pulte finance it thru another mortgage company. We have always gone with rocket mortgage but decided to give them a try worst decision I ever made. They never communicated with each other and they had 5 months to get their crap together on the day of the signing of the house. They told us they had an issue with our paper work and we were told that it was a possibility that we were not going to get the house. After a month of dealing with them and resubmitting the paperwork again we finally got our house. Then while we are living in the house. We encountered some issues our garage floor had multiple long cracks. We submitted our concern online. The guy that shows up tells me settling cracks and he told us that’s natural and they will not fix that because it wasn’t a specific width and I was told to read the manual. Then the sprinkler system that they installed has a leak and I was told that they didn’t cover that and we had to fix that. ... More

The construction of the house was clearly not at a value of 800,000 which is what I paid for the house. When I moved in a shower didn't drain because cement was poured down the drain and had to be removed by a plumber. In addition there was rust in the bathtub. Some of the wood was chipped inside the house. Overall however we're happy with the houses design and functionality. Pulte has been very responsive to concerns about the house and has fixedmost of the problems that I've asked them to. Overall the experience has been good but probably not worth $800,000.

Time frame quoted was accurate. Response to issues is good.

My experience was one of professionalism and consideration of time and resources. Very good company to work with. Excellent staff and construction workers very good, clean and professional.

Working with the Pulte agent Susan was great. She was responsive and attentive. Working with Pulte mortgage was an unimitigated disaster. They were terrible. I can't recommend working with them EVER. We are finding issues with the finish work as we make our house a home. Some of the issues we have uncovered in the 2 months since we moved in: Missing baseboard Misaligned cabinet doors Missing cabinet drawer hardware Missing faceplate screws on light switch covers Completely missing light/fan stubs Existing light stubs for pendant lighting not actually wired to receive power When I submit a service request, the response has always been very prompt which I appreciate and the issues have been remedied so far. I wouldn't have expected these oversights and issues to be present in something I was hoping was high quality. ... More

Justin made the process very seamless and the house was completed in the timeframe given. The quality of the house is very good. The only negatives would be that everything shouldn't be an upgrade for the price you are originally paying with the "standard" house. Also some of the items in the house should have been an option, for instance fans or pendant lighting. As for your mortgage company, we feel that the employees are incompetent in knowing what to ask for upfront and not wait until a week before closing to ask for a laundry list of items that could not possibly be met. Thankfully we didn't have to use them in the end ... More

I have bought 4 homes in my life. This was the most stressful and horrible experience, I would stay clear if you are looking to be excited and not be lied too. After the horrible experience with the buying process, now I have been waiting since May for the HOA approval for our fence for our back yard. It just never gets any better. Dough & Mellisa was great, The Rest is a different story & experience.

Framing isn't square, and the finish work isn't great. Do not believe that you will get a complete landscaped yard unless you're willing to accept all weeds in the back and standing water. Without a landscape warranty, they will simply shrug off the poor landscape job, resulting in the new homeowner having to pay thousands of dollars to correct the backyard.

Material quality is poor and very lower end finishing by workers. You fill less than a month all bad quality Pulte have used. I will not recommend anyone to spend their savings to buy pultehomes.

Very unhappy with what we paid for. Feels very unfinished. Outdoor landscaping is a mess. inside wood flooring was installed incorrect wood type and we’re still having issues. Regretting my home buying decision.

Audrey, Gabe, and Carlos delivered top notch customer experience. Absolutely amazing! They must be the best at what they do. They’re the reason why we made it to Pulte- no sugar coating that!!! Cheers!

Based on my experience I can say only ….

Decision to purchase was made during the first in-person visit with Gabby, our salesperson. We had done online research and used the Pulte tools to design the home that we wanted, but Gabby was able to help us tailor our wants and needs around the budget that we wanted to work with. Donna help us with design decisions to further customize to your needs. Bob, our construction manager, was easy to work with and responsive to our needs. We used Pulte Mortgage and everyone, from start to finish, was knowledgeable and helpful with our financing needs. Couldn't have asked for a smoother home build! ... More

Very easy experience .

It was a very good home buying experience from start to finish. Everyone including the sales office, the home team were very positive, willing to address your needs, attention to detail, helping attitude. I had a few items as a part of the move in which needed to be taken care and the construction manager and his team ensured everything was smoothly taken care of and had a pleasant hand over. Overall good experience.

We initially loved our home buying experience -- although the home was finished two full months prior to the date they told us it would be. While for many people that would be a positive, we still had to sell our house so it was a little nerve wracking in that our plans were completely thrown out the window as we had to rush to sell our house. Throughout the building process we were continually told of "build quality" over and over again, yet when you finally move into the house and also sit in the community and watch the hired tradesmen building houses next door and around you, the build quality is a little questionable. For example the lawn sprinkler system is complete crap -- inferior parts just cobbled together and thrown in by a landscaping team that doesn't really seem to care. I saw a build manager trying to force an electrician to put the wrong exterior lights on the house simply because he wanted it done and the electrician stood his ground and said it wasn't the right size light and he refused to do it. What was most upsetting is the fact that about two weeks after we moved in, we woke up to find some serious gouges in our cement driveway -- clearly made by construction equipment which is all over the neighborhood. We called to report it to be replaced and they refused. I took it all the way up to the CEO who did send out three people to look at it and who were completely amazed at it and couldn't figure out how it happened, but ultimately, they refused to repair it and their customer service rep gave me the name of a friend who could replace the cement in my driveway! After the money I paid, they should "do the right thing" as the CEO says on the website and replace part of the cement in my driveway. There are also inconsistencies in the community in that some houses got rain sensors and ours and our neighbors did not. We've also noticed things like the wrong paint color in certain spots and improperly cut molding, etc. which we will all put in for our 11-month repair review. It is impossible to see everything during your walk through and they supposedly have a customer service team who is reviewing everything prior to your walk through who I would assume is more used to seeing the common errors, but they did not and there was a lot I have seen AFTER the fact that should have been fixed. The homes are a very nice and modern style which are very easy to live in. The overall floorplans and design is great. Some of the finishing choices were limited like the light fixtures which were all basically the same. Overall I am happy with my house. It is just difficult to live in an ongoing construction site and the site managers really don't do anything to minimize the noise and traffic impact for sections of the community which are completed. It would be nice of them to actually advise the cement trucks and other delivery vehicles to not drive past the completed homes and stick to the new construction areas as it does get really disruptive to those of us who now live here. Quite often the noise is unbelievably deafening and hard to stand and the contractors start at 6:30 am and quite often are still here well after dark as they rush to finish houses. When they are here for a 12-hour plus day it does make you wonder how good the build quality can actually be. ... More

The process from signing to closing was effortless. Megan and Robert were very caring and made sure that our new home would be beautiful! Their communication through the entire time was spot on. We moved from Pennsylvania so that was very important to my wife and I.

Our home buying experience was pleasant until we signed the papers. After that, our project manager continuously dropped the ball, warranty claims have gone unresolved, we were skipped multiple times for sod, and we were lied to. We paid a premium for our lot because we were told that nothing would ever be developed behind us, and before Pulte is even done building in the neighborhood, people are out behind our house to start putting in a bike path. We feel betrayed and scammed.

I have been extremely satisfied with pulte homes. Trent my sales agent was very professional and knowledgeable. From the first day I should up at the property he was friendly and had an answer to all my questions. If there was one thing I didn’t like was the building representative. But overall highly satisfied. The warranty handled by Kenny has been great service handling all my problems. I would definitely recommend Pulte homes!
