Pulte Homes Reviews

It is impossible to get a response whether it is via the portal, in the office or the 1800 number. The friendly service received during the sales process (although not always efficient) leaves a lot to be desired once the keys are handed over. We have not moved in, 60 days after signing, and there are multiple issues that Pulte is leaving unresolved. Completely frustrated. Highly recommend to plan ample time between inspection, items getting addressed and final signature. Do not sign until it is all done - I was told some things could be handled after signing and clearly not the case. Also recommend to bring in a third party inspector, will be worth the money vs. the time wasted. ... More

Our salesperson was excellent to work with and a great communicator. The building side, not so much. Why? Because there is no follow up. What good is a warranty or punch list, if they are ignored after they are recorded? We still have missing items and quality problems. Over promised and under delivered.

The construction managers were very helpful

Pay attention to quality of interior wall paint as well as wall switch placement. Security keypads may not be in the most logical place.

After 3 days of purchase, the Toilet was already clogged, causing the main bathroom to have sewage and excrements coming out from the bathtub drain. We called for an emergency repair, but unfortunately, it was a holiday and we did not get a response immediately. Once I got a response, the plumber informed us that my issue was not considered an emergency since I had 1 of 3 toilets/bathrooms working. Plumber did not show until the next day around noon.

This is my 2nd Pulte home and I had very good experience with the first house with the Quality so I chose Pulte again. I am very pleased with the design, work completed early, quality and the people I worked with. If there could be any improvements, I would suggest follow-ups after closures for the items that need to be fixed. I found that some of the companies do not respond for technical issues or repairs. It was great to have a project manager so engaged.

James has made his experience a very pleasant one. There is no perfect home but each time there are issues that needs some attention, special requests etc, James always goes above and beyond. Rick aswell when was dealing with urgent issue. Great team

all my friends loved my new house

Poor quality poor material

The mortgage process through Pulte was a nightmare we are relieved to have made it out of. The endless back and forth requests for the same documents and weeks at a time gaps of updates, left us feeling overwhelmed and like we had made the wrong decision.

It is very concerning that you are making a big investment, there are not quality controls follow by Pulte to deliver a quality product. There are expectations that the client has to understand the issues, but it is hard to do so when issues are related to a lack of quality control procedures not been followed. When you see all the visible issues, you get really concerned about what it is hidden. There are big issues with the quality of the finishes and the quality of the materials used are questionable.

Experience was great. However, after moving in the house began having issues that were easy to resolve. Alot of cracking in the walls began and the house was 1 month old. The garage had alot of imperfections such as just tears from were they cut, as if it the workers didn't care. The bathroom door everytime we shower it leaks out since the seal was place all across instead it was just halfway. Only thing I recommend buyers is to take your time during the walkthrough. Don't feel rushed because they are trying to just get it out of the way asap.

sales agent is only working for commission and never care or communicate about the changes in commitment to the buyer. very irresponsible and not trust worthy. As a first time home buyer, I had worst experience with the sales agent that I went through. because of such agents, pulte gets bad reputation.

I needed a home quickly because of another builder falling through on the home I had planned to purchase. Pulte was super helpful in finding me a similar home that met my need within my price range and even had additional move in deals that I qualified for. They were able to close really quick and I was in my new home in 30 days. I have had a large number of issues with the quality of the work done. Missed painting and bad caulking in multiple areas. I also had issues with the front door handles being damaged and the door frame for the garage entry door being broke to the point the door wasn't staying closed. There we other problems with the installation of the microwave vent with no gasket and the vents to the outside from the microwave and the bathroom vents not being done correctly and allowing moisture in. The warranty group is good to work with and most of these are repaired but it costs me a day off work each time to be home when these repairs are being made, so it is nice they have a good warranty team but it is still taking time from me to repair a brand new home's workmanship. Overall Pulte has been great to work with, just a little disappointed in the quality of the work. ... More

We purchased one of the model homes. We've owned a Pulte Home in the past and we're very happy with the workmanship. However, this experience has been quite different. Since moving in we have found a number of issues. We have been met with great difficulty having these issues resolved. The Pulte representatives have been rude, they have put us off for months with excuses. The craftsmanship is not what it once was. I would not purchase another Pulte home at this point. Moving and purchasing a new home is already a stressful experience- this was made even more stressful by your representatives. ... More

Sales was good as well as mortgage process. All add on items were over priced for the value furnished. The French doors in the den were installed off center and had to be reconstructed after move in. Many items were missed or damaged. The warranty department is all about excuses for not doing the work. Instead of fixing the items now they keep saying wait for the one year mark because they only fix items once. Pulte used to be a great builder in the 90s but are only interested in getting more money for junk. Not satisfied at all.

We recently purchased a home with Pulte, and overall, our experience has been okay. The home itself meets our expectations, but the process, particularly regarding walkthroughs and post-closing follow-ups, has been less smooth than we had hoped. There are still outstanding items from our initial walkthrough that have yet to be addressed, and communication on the next steps has not been very clear. Despite following up, we have not received updates on when these issues will be resolved. This has made the process feel a bit frustrating and uncertain. While we understand that delays can happen, better communication and a more structured follow-up process would greatly improve the overall experience. We hope to see these issues resolved and would appreciate more transparency moving forward. ... More

Great working with Austin and Ramsey.

I was promised by Dana that Pulte wanted my home perfect that’s why it took so long to finish. Let me tell you my house is far from perfect! On my final walk through with Brian and Dustin I, my son and granddaughter pointed out all the flaws and marked them with painters tape. They took no notes and kept nodding at the mistakes. When I moved in a week later the tape was gone and nothing was fixed. They did manage to put handles on my laundry room cabinets that’s all. I sent them text messages asking when they planned on coming back and was told they were not. My walls have cracks in the drywall, my oven doesn’t shut properly therefore the food isn’t cooking properly, my very expensive quartz countertops have chips in them they won’t even come out to see them, my wood floors have marks and scratches on them, again to bad I’m told, some of my tile doesn’t even go to the wall. My bathroom wall has a hole in it I’m wondering if hold will appear. Something is making me sneeze constantly I can’t wait to see what my doctor says about that. For what I paid for the house Pulte should be ashamed of themselves. You had no trouble taking my money and now you have washed your hands and will not stand behind your product. I also had to pay the first half of the taxes and wonder how long before I’m reimbursed, I wasn’t here until December 17, 2024. I also got a balanced forward on the New Albany Master group. To say I’m totally upset with Pulte is an understatement. Oh I also had my irrigation system freeze and explode water and shoot water all over my dirt for hours, nobody cared to help. Apparently Pulte checked the system and forgot to turn it off. Very sad. I don’t usually respond to review requests but enough is enough! You asked, let’s see how you respond. Do you care! ... More

overall very happy with our Pukte home

We love our new Pulte home! However…… we still are surrounded by new construction so we’ve had a lot of issues with that. Our internet cable has been dug up & cut 3 times. Workers have come into our yard and use our water several times (until we put a lock on the faucet). Lots of trash blown into our yard, Other than that, we like our house and it seems to be very good quality. Looking forward for the surrounding construction to be completed.

There are items that are not functional. Front door latch. All the electrical outlets in the bathrooms.

I love my new home.

Very cheap building quality, quick fix repairs, and a company that prides themselves on quality. Their advertised quality and the Pulte care experience was false. They care about covering up their mistakes quickly and quietly, they care about not taking accountability for major defects, and they also don’t care about using the homeowners time to conduct shotty repairs.

The layout is nice, and the kitchen countertops and floor throughout are nice. The people I've worked with are also nice. But I think that's where the positives end. The process from start to finish was very poorly communicated. The closing was extremely rushed and I'm not sure that's a good thing for a half a million property. 2 months in, I still haven't received things I was promised at closing, or things I paid for that were not included in the home. Would never buy from Pulte again and would not recommend to anyone looking to build new. I've built a new build before and it was night and day better than the process with Pulte. ... More
