Pulte Homes Reviews

I have couple of things to fix after we moved in , it was a hard process with no response

Quality of shown model home and the one of the actual home are vastly different. Real let-down.

Good experience with the building process. After move in there were a few issues, but they are being taken care of.

Great experience and smooth process

Buying process was straight forward and easy. Wife and I love the home with no issues. Very responsive warranty team. Would recommend Pulte to other homebuyers.

We purchased a new Pulte home this year. I have purchased 4 other new homes previously by other builders. Tho Pulte builds a nice home, we’ve had more issues than expected. Things that should have been identified prior to posting it for availability. Plumbing issues with 3 sewer backups in the first 2 weeks. Drain lines apparently has construction debris in them. A leak between the wall that required a lot of work and remediation to fix. I’ve noticed other issues that will be addressed to Pulte once we’ve confirmed the most urgent ones are fixed. I’d say Quality Control is an issue that should be addressed. Not just pushing for deadlines in the construction process. As I stated, with my previous home buying experiences. I’ve never had the problems that have arisen with this home. Recommendation is for Pulte to improve Quality Control focusing on attention to detail and ensuring proper functionality of all systems in the home. ... More

Nothing else that I wanted to add

Had a good experience overall with Pulte in buying our new home.

We chose Pulte sue to their reputation of high quality construction and building practices. In that regard l, they lived up to my expectations. Our construction manager, Matt Wallace, was the best we could hope for. He was knowledgeable, available, and fought to make sure we got the home of our dreams. The issues arose around the financial aspect of the sale. Pulte ordered an appraisal 3 months prior to completion, before doors, flooring or countertops were installed, yet the appraiser valued the home exactly at list price - to the dollar! We chose to use our mortgage company, one we trust and have a long-standing working relationship; they ordered an appraisal once the home was nearly complete. Lo and behold there was a discrepancy between the two, a $48,0000 discrepancy. Pulte refused to budge, because they “have an appraisal value.” in the end Pulte submitted some extra comps to our appraiser (all of which were sold and appraised by their syndicate group of companies) which brought the discrepancy to $24,000 lower than list price. We ended up agreeing to split that difference, putting us in a position of negative equity from the get go. I still would recommend Pulte to anyone looking to purchase a new home, but do not let them control the entire process and narrative! Trust their builders, find a mortgage company you can trust; do not trust Pulte financial or insurance groups. ... More

It was a dream come true! Our is so beautiful and perfect! Pulte homes are built exactly the way we imagined it to be. We love everything about our home.

We had a great manager Julyan ho helped us through the process.

The home purchasing process was fairly easy but there was some incompetence and a lack of responsiveness with our second salesperson but the third one was exceptional, very customer-focused, responsive and a pleasure to work with. There were a lot of minor errors in the building process and a lack of attention to detail on simple construction. Overall the experience was OK but it wasn't the greatest. We'd rate the overall experience a 7 out of 10.

Not very happy at Pulte marketing side , many recommendations provided were not very helpful. Also after taking possession service requests were not very effective & pro active .

Door handles came off for several doors within few days itself , several doors don’t shut fully unless pushed manually.

We love our new home and our new neighborhood! We’ve got a great house and we’re happy to be here.

If I recommend other people to buy with pulte constructora

our entire experience buying this Pulte home has been a total pleasure from beginning to completion. Our sales representative (Tatyana) was professional, knowledgeable and always extremely helpful. The construction team (led by Javier and Anthony) always made us feel like we were their only customer and continually went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied and happy with our purchase. This is our 5th time purchasing a brand new home in the last 30 years and this has been far and away our best experience. We are very happy in our new Pulte home.

Gita from the sales office was incredible helping us find the right home and for a great price. We actually switched homes and Pulte with Gita"s help made the whole process very easy to do with no additional costs. Great company to do business with.

Pulte staff has a great Team.

High quality craftsmanship and quickly reply to questions

We’ve been another number in giant housing market. Our design center experience was wonderful, and we felt like Pulte was invested in building us a quality home. From that point forward, it became obvious we were a number and the most important factor was how quickly the home could be put up at the lowest cost. Our house was framed during the heaviest rains our area has seen in the last decade. Extensive flooding was a result. This was forecast and waiting for these storms to pass was entirely possible. Nothing ever slowed down. This left our home completely water logged. Mold was a concern for me, but it was made clear to me that it was not a concern for my builder. Now that we have moved into our new home, we have many area of loose subfloor upstairs and are already developing ceiling cracks within a month of living there. Feels like these are related to the waterlogged framing. There are multiple other issues we are trying to get help with including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, trim work, finishes, and others. Several of these issues were brought up on a third party home inspection and at our walkthrough. In the 3 weeks that passed from our initial walkthrough, several of these issues were never addressed. So we are now working through the warranty process to get them addressed immediately after “celebrating” the move into our new home We have very little confidence in our home. Instead of focusing on settling into this house for decades which was our plan, we are working on a 3 year plan to get out of this house before we get inundated with issues down the road. I would not recommend Pulte to a friend. I have not found the trust I would need to do that. I know we did not build a custom home. That is not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting that “my happiness was Pulte’s top priority” because I was told this multiple times. But that has not been my experience. Mikey has been great to communicate with so far. Hoping that this translates into finding some resolution to the issues we are encountering. Gunner also seemed genuine and was helpful and easy to communicate with. Unfortunately, I only had about a week to work with him at the very end of our process. ... More

Still long way to go for the quality improvement and responsiveness. Strong impression that your goal is just to get an approval signature without listening to the customers' issues afterwards. Pulte still lacks of providing reliable home quality to the customer satisfaction with making the reasonable profits instead of ripping off the customers.

The upgrades are expensive and of poor quality. The overall construction is weak. On a simple windy day the whole house makes loud noises in the roof. The overall quality of house is poor. The purpose of going for a new construction is defeated. One month after moving the dishwasher leaks water , the Owen when turned on gives out strong burning.smell. They rush through the closing process even though the house ins’t fully done. The basement developed mold even before the closing. Professionally treated but worried about it coming back. I opted for a designer island which isn’t half good as shown in the model home. No pictures available of it before hand. No way to know how it is going to look until it is installed. Overall a bad experience for me. ... More

They were way behind their timeline and kept making last minute changes to closing. Subcontractors were terrible and there was little oversight or quality control, so the workmanship is terrible. Lots of promises about things that would be repaired but little follow through. They have a warranty, but you submit things to their portal and never hear back. Beyond the inconvenience and expense of all of the delays and problems lies the fact that if there are so many things wrong with the things that I can see on the surface, what problems lie beneath…
