Pulte Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Construction manager John is awesome. Excellent at dealing with issues in a timely manner. Quick responses give us peace of mind. Some of the craftsmanship could use some improvement. Pulte is more focused on quantity over quality

Still things we are wait To get fix

My overall experience with Pulte has been fair not great. I'll start with the positives then go into the negatives. The staff at Pulte Mortgage do a great job of staying on top of the home buying process. I've been in my new home a little over two months and it's starting to feel like home after living in hotels and an apartment for almost a year. They build a solid house but the overall workmanship toward the end was a rush job to get the house closed. John, my construction manager is the contact person for the company and he does an excellent job of trying to make the customer happy but he is only one person. The thing that leaves the biggest pit in my stomach is the kitchen upgrade. Right before closing; in fact days before closing I found out I would have mismatched appliances. Most women, the kitchen is their space. Although, I'm no Martha Stewart as far as cooking however I paid for an updated kitchen. This is a supply chain issue, however Pulte knew for months about this issue and didn't inform me. Having mismatched appliances in a kitchen may be cool for some else but not my style. It is equivalent to having different tires on a Lexus. You have tires but some thing doesn't look or feel the same. I would have been willing to purchase my own oven and microwave to have matching appliances. Just a thought for future purchasers. ... More

Last time I gave detail feedback, do you care?

We do love our home, but since moving in we have noticed numerous examples of poor workmanship. We have found drywall with tape over holes and painted/textured over. Chips in our 30k tile floor, debris on windows. We have been patiently waiting for replacement cabinet doors on a few that were scuffed/damaged or not stained properly. We have been patiently waiting for the refrigerator we have ordered. Paint missing on the exterior in a few places. Overall- the purchase/design/finance and construction of our home was good- delays aside which appeared normal given the current market. But to walk into a home, not completely finished or cleaned was a little upsetting considering the additional wait for close. We understand the market being hectic and continue to be as patient and positive as we can, but with so many small issues or obvious coverups of drywall, Mis- alignment of ceiling rafters just being dry walled over.. it is hard to not be disappointed. ...

Home is wonderful there are a few things that could have been done better but overrall it’s great

Great Builder and will definitely recommend to family/friends. I'm happy with the outcome of my new home

Overall, everything has been a great experience but will say once they give you the keys you are going to wait a long time to get pending issues resolved.

Overall the buying/building experience was very good. Sales and the field manager were great. The design studio experience was too rushed and the designer was ok, not great. Now that we have moved in, we found issues that there teams should have noticed and resolved. We now await how they do in fixing the issues. Our final rating will depend on how they respond.

Great over all experience so far. Some communication issues with things that need to be fixed but decent over all.

Most everything was great. But unfortunately, as we expected, as soon as we closed and were given the keys, most all of the items that our building supervisor promised would be fixed within a few days (i.e. cabinetry x4, carpet), were never fixed and we never heard from the building supervisor again. As a result, we're forced to go through the Pulte warranty department which takes weeks and months to have anything addressed.

The overall buying experience was good, where it falls short is on quality. So many little issues had to be reported after build Completion. Some of them taken care promptly but some not good response. I would expect the build quality and material to be of better quality. As a homeowner it is a hassle to be responsible to find these issues later and report then to get addressed.

All the people from Pulte we dealt with were fantastic. Our GC Jim, sales rep Andrea, mortgage rep Marcela and everyone else were great. Basic construction of the home was solid. Our own independent pre-drywall inspection was very good, however it was the finish work of paint, cabinetry and finish carpentry that was left short. Several broken cabinet doors, cheap flat paint with many sloppy errors, trim and door frames damaged and covered up. Other items were a damaged hood vent, electrical outlet not even hooked up, missing cabinet hardware for an entire bathroom and data cabling not terminated correctly to name just few. We have had homes built before and have been through the process. Many of these items should have been caught and fixed before move in. The good is that these items are fixable and we know we will love the home once everything is in great condition. ... More

Overall Construction is great .

The community grows so fast.

more time and care needed in finish work

Closing was stressful. Underwriter was still asking for documents the day before scheduled close. Lots of issues on the initial inspection that weren’t addressed. Still lots of issues to take care of on the 30 day inspection. Not great quality of workmanship. Lots of paint splatter from walls to ceiling

Overall, Pulte was fine. We are one of the first homes on our street, and the contractors and trades working on the other houses do not respect our property line, and play their radio (music) way too loud!

Attention to detail by the finishing trades needs huge improvement.

Need more attention to quality and details..

First, we love the location and the house as a whole. The layout is great and the house has plenty of storage compared to our last home. We are completely satisfied with the products used to build the home such as the appliances, flooring, faucets, etc. That being said, we have had problems with the details of the finished product. Primarily details in craftsmanship such as flawed cabinets being installed and left as finished, cracked granite counter top, return flex duct in the attic not properly attached and sucking in hot attic air, just to name a few. All avoidable with attention to detail from the trades and construction managers but this seems to be a theme after to talking to several neighbors. Initially, responsiveness to issues was a problem but with our new construction manager the process has seemed to smooth out. On a side note, we moved in in late March of 2020 so COVID-19 has delayed anything being repaired but that is entirely understandable. ... More

Overall it is good

There are problems with my final inspection - and more that we are finding as we live in the house.

always check the building progress

Paint and painters were terrible. Poor workmanship along with some damage to glass, doors, and floors. Flat was the only type offered. Why not eggshell? Also it was watered down alot. Toilets are the worst. I've never seen a toilet you have to hold handle down until tank is empty. There is no designation that these are two stage toilets. You shouldn't have to instruct guests how to use your toilets. Very poor. I have heard from others in our area that are equally disappointed. The center opening patio door is also a poor design. The sliding screens travel the whole length of the tract instead of having a positive stop. House color and roof combinations are too restrictive. Why not have a flat tile color available for all exterior design combinations. ... More
