Pulte Homes Reviews

Not very impressed

Contracted working crew does not clean up area after working each day. I found 17 loose nails left around working area. Luckily my vehicle did not suffer a tire flat, however a neighbor did.

Poor process in working with new homeowners to assist in the orientation of all the aspects of a new home. We have some early issues and it's difficult to get answers and assistance.

A week into moving into our new home I discovered a leak in my front window which has pieces of drywall falling as well as water marks on the wall underneath. Days later I had a new leak in my roof which came through my master bath as well as my kitchen ceiling. I have been reaching out to the warranty company for 3 1/2 weeks now to get my “roof inspection report” and get my home fixed. In addition, I am still waiting for repairs from pre closing to be completed and I continue to watch my sod die. I love my home but these past 6 weeks have been extremely frustrating.

My personal experience with Pulte homes have been good. There have been a few challenges midway but it eventually ended well. The house was delivered as committed. The overall quality is good but can definitly improve on some final finishing details. However the response from sales and field team was very prompt.

Upon purchasing my home I was told about several walk through processes that would happen to ensure my satisfaction with the house. None of those meetings have been accomplished, and when multiple issues arrived including drainage issues and flooding the company was not available to speak on important foundational issues. I feel as though I was offered the moon and the stars at closing, and none of that has come into fruition. This has been an incredibly frustrating and disappointing process. I would appreciate it if somebody would call to address my concerns since I have been unable to get anyone to address the concerns that many of my fellow neighbors have also been unable to get addressed ...

We were extremely happy with the building process until they started the interior buildout. The sub- contractor that Pulte used to install the interior texture did the worst job I have ever seen on texture. We actually asked Pulte to re-do all the texture in the house which they gladly did but it was impossible to get it all done to a quality standard. We were extremely disappointed that we had to live with the inferior texture but we had to close on our home as we had sold our existing home.

We’re having to deal with issues that took several years to develop in our previous home, here in a couple months of living here. A prime example is stress cracks in the drywall near door openings. Also have a seal that’s come loose on the glass shower door which we NEVER had happen on our glass doors in our previous home. Also trim pieces in and outside the home not cut correctly and caulking cracking inside the home. Some of these issues have been addressed but not others. We have a bedroom door which won’t latch and I was expecting someone Friday, August 23, to fix it. A repair order had been issued, but I waited for 4 hours which was the time window given me and NO ONE SHOWED UP. ... More

Read all the paper work before agreeing to sign with pulte mortgage . They say they will give you $10,000.00 toward close but not really when they are paying for stuff that is typically paid for by the seller out of said $10,000.00

Pulte gave us good buying experience and the build was completed on time. Richie, our builder, was great to work with.

Very smooth process from picking out the home and options, to working with the mortgage and title companies through closing.

Pulte experience was professional and wonderful!

Quality of Workmanship, just average! Responsiveness to issue, poor be ready t wait couple of months to have ur issues fixed!! Celebration day do not be overwhelmed everything looks pretty in ur new home, inspect the house thoroughly every nook and corner!!! For that matter if u have washer/dryer make it a point to run a full cycle, do not believe installs for granted, Granite counter tops inspect every corner run ur fingers....Dont say Dont buy, but pay attention to detail if u want peacefu move in....Good Luck

All the managers were very helpful throughout the entire process.

Construction process was good up until closing. Day of closing there were still workers in the home. Landscaping had not begun. The walk prior to closing had the home still waiting to be cleaned. The closing with Pulte Mortgage went well. Came back to house to find workers had left trash and some items were incomplete. Landscaping was not completed until almost 60 days after closing. Field Manager was unwilling to address items from the 30 day list due to our schedules not lining up during the summer. He said that policy was the reason. I reminded him of the fact the home wasn't complete at closing and we waited on landscaping for two months. He decided that coming in and trying to restore the goodwill of the last 60 days was secondary to just shrugging his shoulders. If I had sold a customer a $500K house, I would make sure they were satisfied and willing to pass along the story to anyone who asked. Now when asked, I have to tell a potential homeowner to make sure they watch out to make sure everything is complete because you might come up short. Please treat this as an opportunity to look at your customer service approach. It shouldn't be so hard. ... More

It was a lot to consider and choose but in the end it was worth it. Very happy with the end results.

New home owners need to make sure they write down all of their change order numbers and colors and Pulte comes back and takes care of all of the little things that you didn’t see when you move in, be persistent on that. Other than that Patti and Jeff have been very awesome with all the help that they’ve given us

low quality workmanship. Lots of scratches/scuffs on new walls/cabinets/flooring, etc. We identified issues at our final walk through but things took weeks to get fixed after we moved in. Very slow response. Overall, I would not recommend this builder.

Too many negative happened during construction. Not the slightest bit of cooperation from the building side. Landscaping was a complete joke. Only positive results were from the sales, design and mortgage areas.

Our street address with the county auditor is still not correct 7 weeks after we moved in. We have issues with our mail and any other deliveries because of this issue. Please work to get this updated.

i am not completely satisfied about the house for the price i paid. i upgrade a lot of stuff in the house, and as soon as i moved in I found out a few things started chipping and peeling, i called, emailed, texted, it took a month for me the get answer and i got an attitude too. this is my second Pulte home, i have to say i am disappointed. And if i get another house, it will not be Pulte.

No builder is going to give you a "perfect" experience. Pulte did a good job, but plenty of room for improvement. Construction-wise there are a LOT of small touches missed that collectively take away. Many of these things wouldn't really even cost anything except a few extra minutes of care (something that used to be called pride of workmanship which sadly is a lost art in our society). I will say that compared to DR Horton homes nearby, Pulte is head & shoulders above. Quite honestly, just that little bit extra customer service and care in the construction process would have been 5 stars - just a little bit! ... More

I did not rate Pulte 5 stars for quality of workmanship and value for the price paid. While I understand I did not purchase the highest upgrade, I somehow believe from past buying experiences with another builder, that Pulte could still have done better for the price paid. As a big construction company with strong buying power, Pulte could have done better in terms of quality of carpet installed, the stove which is still a burner instead of flat top, and the lack of over-the-stove microwave, all of which are already reasonably priced these days. Medicine cabinets should have been installed in the two full bathrooms instead of just flat mirrors as a space saving strategy. As this unit I bought is already designed for a certain model, I should have been offered the chance to have a refrigerator and a washer/dryer installed at the time of buying so that those are already in the unit at time of closing. Of course, for an extra price for those appliances. This would have saved time on my end upon move-in. The employees are why I gave 5 stars for trustworthiness and responsive to issues. Just had a couple of calls made to get someone to come and worked on a couple of issues, but still in due time. Will I buy again from Pulte? Yes, overall, but I hope to see truly better value for the price paid even if I don't have to go for the highest upgrade. ... More

Superintendent was terrific
