Pulte Homes Reviews in San Antonio, TX

The virtual purchasing experience was quick and painless. It helped that the home consultant actually lives in the neighborhood and can give honest feedback about Pulte and the ins-and-outs of the new community. We liked the virtual design center appointment too as it was easier for us to narrow down on our picks and not spend on other things we would have seen if at the center in person. The build process was fast however even though we were told the house would be done by mid-November, this doesn’t mean the whole house, just that it was structurally sound. The house was still being worked on even post-closing. Warranty has been responsive but we definitely recommend that home buyers do not close until even the aesthetically flawed items are fixed if time isn’t an issue. The exterior of the house is nice however the workmanship could improve in the interior. We found the inside of one of our linen closets with an incomplete paint job - as if they were hastily painting to just get it done. I just so happened to notice that the walls facing inward were haphazardly painted with lots of exposed drywall still. A painter was sent quickly after I let the field manager know. We paid extra for hardware in our kitchen and almost all the doors and hardware were misaligned. This took over a month to fix and oddly enough, the cabinet technician that was sent to align our cabinetry did not have a level or a ladder. Luckily, we had these items and just let him use ours. There was a crack on our entranceway tile and we were scheduled a month out for the repair. Once the tile technician came out, he looked at the leftover tile Pulte left for us and informed us that Pulte failed to provide the 17x17 tile so now a box has to be ordered for us and we are going to be scheduled out yet another month. Our front and back yard had nails and trash on it when we moved in after closing. Brown sod was delivered and installed. We noticed afterwards that other houses on our block had their front yards raked and pretty much debris/trash free before sod install and the sod that was delivered to them was still green. FYI warranty doesn’t cover sod. There was a gap under our front door that let bugs in and messed with our insulation -which also took about a month to fix. Overall, the field manager was responsive 30 days post-closing and the warranty officer has also been responsive and easy to communicate with. We’re also glad that we only pre-plumbed for a water softener and then got our water softener system directly from the vendor because it was considerably cheaper than going through Pulte. Same with our security system. We opted to have them put in a panel for us near our Pulte Planning Center for fiber internet and stuff (total waste of money) however it was frustrating that the panel is useless and both our security and AT&T fiber had to drill elsewhere to be able to work. Be prepared to go around with a hammer to hammer down the nails in the carpet as all of us, including our toddler got our feet stubbed plenty of times. Also vacuum as soon as you can so that you can get all the staples, dust, dirt, and other stuff from the build. Having a home inspector is a regular part of any home buying process (regardless of existing or new construction) and ordinary. It would have been great for the Pulte field manager to work with our third party inspector directly. However, Pulte told us they do not interact with our third party inspector so we had to be the go-between. Considering on top of this, this is COVID times, Pulte should consider coordinating (as they strive for excellent customer service) and not leaving it to the homebuyer especially those like us coming from out of state. ...

Over all I am satisfied with my house. How there are a couple of areas that need to be addressed Communication between the salesman and project manager. Don't promise work to buyer that can't be performed

The workmanship is sloppy and lazy. All the finishes in our home look terrible and have issues. I’m terrified to think of things behind the walls that we can’t see. There’s no quality assurance and no follow up to reported issues. Do not build with Pulte. I wish I could move back to my DR Horton home.

Love my brand new home. It is not only beautiful but I am continually amazed at the quality of materials and workmanship.

Great builder with a great contractor manager. I would recommend this builder to anyone

Very professional very helpful good customer service also I’m happy for you brought our first house with Pulte we are really happy with them.

A multitude of problems during the building process due to faulty, below standard construction. Pulte failed to hold their sub contractors responsible to fix major issues in our home and two months after closing we are facing major renovation work in our home to fix the problems. We have little faith that everything will ever be fixed properly. We were lied to multiple times about issues we brought up before closing with promises that these issues would work themselves out or they would be fixed. We thought the stress of this build would be over after closing, but I believe the worst is still to come. ... More

Do not close on your house until you have had several “final” walkthroughs. I have been in my house a month now, and every day I am finding a new issue. They cut corners, their attention detail is horrible, the craftsmanship for every aspect of my house is subpar. I was told to expect the quality work done on the mode home, what I received is far from that. I wish I never would have closed on the home with Pulte. I would recommend anyone looking at purchasing a new Pulte home to look around at other builders first. If you decide to go with Pulte, I would recommend you do as many walkthroughs possible before closing to ensure corners were not cut. It really is a shame because I truly believe the bones of the house were built well. Unfortunately I can’t look past the poor quality on the inside to recommend a pulte home to anyone or ever purchase a pulte home again. ... More

We are very happy about buying our new home with Pulte. They delivered a top quality home with great customer service in every step of the buying process.

Tyler the construction manager is very responsive and accommodating. Also, the issue for clogged toilet has been addressed promptly.

We love our home and are exceptionally pleased with it. There have been a few issues, but between the project manager and warranty consultant, things get fixed pretty quickly. The difficult part of the home building/buying is we lived in VA while the home was in TX. Until the last 2 months, it was difficult to get updates on the home. The final project manager was the best in keeping us informed.

My experience was great. From the initial walk thru to the last walk thru, anything that I saw that needed attention got it immediately. Overall, a great experience.

Everyone was willing to answer any question I had, as a new home owner this wa are ally important to me.

Would have gave them a 5 but they was in such a rush to meet their deadline that I had to keep asking questions about the same problems items I wanted fix. PM was patient with me but I just feel like the whole build was rushed.

Good overall experience with the purchase

When we moved it the home is beautiful but there were Significant amount of unfinished cabinet trees and paint areas for a home that is valued at $450,000 I would expect it to be almost perfect. I think there was a lot of opportunities to finish the home but it seemed very rushed I still love the layout and the home itself but we are still waiting for some of the Cabinets and baseboards cabinets and baseboards to be finished. At the end of the day there were a lot of small things that were missed and those are usually the biggest.

All of the staff that work for Pulte were very good at what they do and were very helpful.

I loved my sales guy. The rest has been awful. I am looking into filing a lawsuit.

Our Pulte was well built from the foundation to the roof. Disappointed in the quality of the lawn that was installed. Too many weeds in the lawn from day one. They have added some top soil due the uneveness of the lawn. I'm working tosolve the crab grass problem but feel Pulte should provide a better quality of grass.

the house is very well built with every detail very well finished, my family and I love the neighborhood the neighbors are very friendly . only one detail that I did not like was that the house was not cleaned before closing ,it was very dirty with a lot dust and one of the bathroom was extremely dirty the windows full of dirt .I talk to the representative she says they hired a company to clean the house, I do not think they did the work ., I had to hire staff to clean the house ,I couldn't let my daughters play in a dirty house

We had great success working with Ellen in sales and Peter as the PM. We are very happy with them and their attention to our concerns and questions. We continue to be frustrated with the paint, texture, tile, door, electrical, appliance, etc.. work the subcontractors completed too quickly and with poor effort and attention to simple detail.

Really poor, cheap and low quality both material and workmanship. Very disappointed and regret chooses this neighborhood. All other reviews that I seen on google and etc is true. Moved here not even 2 month concrete at patio is cracked and leak plumbing near garage door. Hopefully this not happen to other people/buyer because we spend a lot of money and we don’t get what we expected. Always lot a good promise at the beginning, but the truth is way different. Good question, It’s brand NEW HOMES guys, why have a lot an issue? Hope someone take this seriously.

Built the home as mentioned during the initial meeting. Built with nice materials and followed all the standards. Couple of small findings here and there but those are negligible. Overall had good experiences with pulte and definitely recommend to friends.

It was a wonderful home.

The quality of work is very disappointing and for the price we paid we expected something much better
