You submit issues and the response you get from the trades is “not sure what’s happening” or “ it’s the standard” even if the workmanship is poor it’s still the “Standard” Evie

So disappointed

  • Paola O.
  • Verified Homebuyer

  • Punta Gorda, FL

Made a list of repairs with Builders during walk through 2 months ago which they promised to fix but have only fixed one MINOR issue. There is very little communication. Once you close with Pulte, they forget all about you. The warranty department is no better. They set up appointments and when service arrives, the repair man doesnt repair the issue that the appointment was for.

Pulte Homes responded:
We are very disappointed to hear that you have had an unpleasant experience and we apologize for the frustration. If you are still waiting for a repair, please reach out to our customer care team at socialcare@pultegroup.com and they will work to resolve the issue. ^Abby

Overall, a great experience.

We had a few issues but they were addressed in a timely manner. The team seemed genuinely concerned with our satisfaction. Wasn't thrilled with the Pulte Title experience, but on the builder side and the management of the construction, we were satisfied. Would indeed do it again, knowing what we know now.

Our Field Manager, Bill, was VERY GOOD. He made the experience less worrisome than I expected. He answered questions within a day. He took care of issues immediately. I would give him a 5 out of 5

Our builder Lamar was great- Pulte not so much

  • William M.

Inconsistencies from sales that were passed on to builder. Strange methods of selection with sales (other home owners before and after us experienced the same). Our home is great and we really like it. Our builder was great, straightforward and had good response time with action. Good follow up to typical issues after move in

Disappointing Craftsmanship

  • Rodney H.
  • Verified Homebuyer

  • Fridley, MN

Would be a plus if Pulte hired some carpenters who know what a framing square was. Walls are so out of square it is hard not to cast your eyes on the defect. One short wall between doorways is 11 inches in length and 1inch out of square from end to end. It is a common problem through out the house, Very disappointing. Also a damaged washing machine that should have never been accepted or installed flooded our home and ditto for the dysfunctional water softener that re flooded our home a week later. There were other issues that have been addressed such as failing to cap the gas line to the ...

Project managers were excellent. Having worked as one myself. They couldn’t have been more attentive to my needs since I was out of state during the build . They kept me apprised of the progress each step of the way. Tanner also kept us updated. One item I think Pulte should have is a checklist of options to make the process easier. There were items we would have wanted but didn’t think about

Not the quality I was expecting

  • BUCKEYE, AZ

I have had several issues with my home. Some have been taken care of and some haven’t due to the incompetence and irresponsibility of the company. Several times I have been told someone would come to fix things and they never came at the scheduled time due to a miscommunication on Pulte’s side and them not ordering the materials they said would. I have emailed the fields manger about another thing that came up. Part of my bathroom cabinet fell and it looks like the wood wasn’t place right and it’s uneven. No response. I’m disgusted. I’m paying a lot of money to a poor quality company.

I recently bought a Pulte Home in Windsor at Westside and I´m so happy with the quality of the home and the professionalism and service from Pulte. They have responded quickly to my questions and even came to my home when I couldn´t figure out something very simple:) I highly recommend Pulte homes.

Pulte Homes - Lots of punch list and pick up items were not completed prior

  • Eric D.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • September 11, 2019
  • Henderson, NV

Lots of punch list and pick up items were not completed prior to closing and now after closing post 6 weeks they are still not even started. The design center should have had better pricing for the consumer to compare and contrast, and should have had more options. The side yard set backs are terrible and need to enhance the community property better.
