Pulte Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Poor Workmanship. House was dusty and dirty when we got it. I thought it would be nice and clean and shiny like the models. Nobody wants to take accountability for the workmanship.

We were rushed into our new home without many things being completed first. We have had various issues with the finishing stages of the home and the exterior of the home. Paint was not and is not completed to match colors, holes in cabinets, cracked cabinets, dents on facia of appliances, stucco cracks on most exterior walls, and many other little things that add up to a move in ready home, which this was not. They are fixing things as we go but that's not good business practices if you want to continue business. Would be nice to pay for a home that is move in ready, cleaned, not construction cleaned which is dust and insulation everywhere, and everything work before buyers move in. ... More

we have a lots of issues at home we called them several times it takes more than a month before they do an action. some of our appliances ang not in good condition not working.

We had a great experience with construction manager till the point of closing of our new home. There were few issues which were supposed to be fixed within the month after closing. But later the construction manager backed away and told us to go via Customer Service. Incompetence is an understatement for their customer service department. They aren't communicative and sounds like they want to finish our call in a rush. We get work orders but nobody shows up on the designated day and subsequently our work order get pushed out.

Paint is of poor quality and very thin. Finish work is lazy and lacks detail required of finish work, trim is done with 45s in some places and just pressed against each other in others, house was super dirty when we got keys, the ac filters were so clogged it was making a whistling sound because the air was going around the filter. Counter top was cracked they tried to say it was a fissure and then changed the definition through out to fit their benefit. The house was lazily went through with touch up paint that ended up on cabinets and other places that it shouldn’t been on. A substance on our sink that can’t get off, a black spot on our glass that won’t come out. I unpleased by the lack of attention to details through out. ... More

I understand there are delays due to lack of supplies but that doesn’t excuses the lack of quality in work or providing great customer service. I have worked with multiple builders from Dr. Horton to Toll Brothers and Pulte is the 2nd to last builder on my list when it comes to customer service. The weekly updates on the build was very nice, but other then that, it seems like I was a bother. My concerns are not heard, and the superintendent and care team are too busy to help.

While we love our new home there are shortcomings. The delivery was rushed and felt as if there were numerous items either damaged, not working, or missing or unfinished. We moved in almost two months ago and only one item of several has been addressed. We still don’t have cold running water, but the vast majority are damaged or cosmetic items. While the price you pay is subjective I feel we paid a large premium for a sub par product in the end with slow service after the sale. There are only so many excuses of trades not being available and supply chain issues which is why we rated the experience as average but how things are handled and once resolved to our satisfaction will ultimately drive our final opinion of if we would recommend or use Pulte in the future. ...

During the final walk thru we found problem with, cabinets, flooring, tile and roofing. Numerous work orders were put in but either trade people did not show up or they did not attempt to fix the problems. When you pay 1/2 million for a home we would expect quality workmanship. I believe builders are pressured to get homes built. Our Project Manager tried the best of his ability, but if the Contractors don’t Care then there is not a whole lot he can do on his own.

We have cosmetic flaws, some more unsatisfactory small pea size pit and chipped wood exposed on exterior surfaces the of the cabinets; to minor blemishes, cracks in paint at joints or filled in cracks to conceal, but visible; to a huge crack in the bottom shelf of the wall cabinet likely caused by installation of the under cabinet lights. These have been reported on their Customer Service website, but have yet to be resolved. The cosmetic blemishes can be overlooked, but the cracked cabinet makes the whole gourmet kitchen upgrade unsatisfied and we feel we overpaid. Its been 6 weeks since we moved in and these concerns have continued to be neglected. ... More

Going on two months in the home and still no cabinet hardware. Good luck with getting any resolution on issues not reported during the final walkthrough. My cabinets were installed poorly, and I’m struggling to get Pulte to fix the damages. Communication is poor, and I was accused of causing the damage myself. I’m so disappointed. Every time I reach out for updates on my outstanding issues, I am made to feel like a bother. The sales process is great…but the experience after the purchase is complete can leave you feeling devastated. Tip- stay in that house during the final walkthrough until you catch every little issue. Get on your hands and knees and inspect the cabinet installs carefully. You should not expect to have to do this, but I missed some of these things and now I’m in the position I’m in. I have had to come to terms with other items I reported will not be fixed. Had I known…. ... More

It is VERY obvious that Pulte did not appropriately oversee the workers who built my home. So many massive issues in all of the finish trades. I wanted to move into my home with peace of mind and now I’m stuck in an endless cycle of fighting with tradesmen over their terrible craftsmanship. Absolutely horrible. I used the think Pulte stood for build quality. I no longer have this association with their name.

When you bring up issues right after closing such as cracked tile, door has hole in it, which takes over 2 weeks to be painted so far and not installed, a month out at this point to get stucco hole fixed, if they show up! Just horrible on issues and they just do not care after you are handed the keys. No communication with you, if there is no one is on the same page.

You will get an incomplete home at closing. I suggest hire a home inspector to inspect your home. We had alot of issues, and expect not to get the issues fixed right away. I know we are living in a crazy market but don't advertise high quality when the house is far from it.

The finish work was rushed and not good at all. There were so many corners cut that the house looks terrible. We marked all of the issues in the walk through, but roughly only 25% of the issues marked got fixed. The cleaning was also the worst cleaning I have seen. We spent roughly 20 hours cleaning up after we moved in. They said that the cleaning company can not use chemicals which I understand but there were so many areas that were not even touched. The overall house seems to be structurally sound but with the cheap finishes and terrible finish work, the house is severely overpriced even in the market we are in currently. Anna had been a big help to try and correct some of the issues. ... More

Move in date was Friday, December 17th. Robert tried to change it to the following Tuesday due to needing a little more time to get things done. We told we couldn’t because we had things being delivered and already took time off from work. We told him we would not move in until 4pm that Friday. When we showed up the painters were still there and the house was really dirty. He told us the cleaners would be here in the next hour. We knew there would be some outstanding items. Not a problem. He told us the painters would be back Monday to finish. They never showed up. He would consistently over commit and never deliver. Told us the painters were coming two other times and never showed. No call or follow up from him. He told us multiple times he was going to send us the outstanding items and when they would be completed, never did. On January 26th I texted him that we would be taking the Pulte survey by 2/5 and he texted me back saying he would have no problem completing the items by then. So many times we texted him and called him and no response. We were very patient, but can no longer wait without anything being completed, since we are now going on almost two months of waiting. So unprofessional! Expected better quality work. I tried calling the customer service number and it just beeps. ... More

I did all my upgrades with Pulte design center and everything that I upgraded was put in incorrect or damaged still waiting months to get items fixed..

I was a new home buyer and i was very much curious to know each and everything. I used to visit the site every other day. It was a good experience. The sales office helped a lots to understand each and everything. The design center experience was not good at all. I wanted to modify some of the upgrades and the person will not let me do.

I bought a model. I realize my home was not under warranty or that they werent going to do anything major to fix issues. However, even something basic- for example, as you go up the stairs, there is a big chunk out of the wall. How hard would it have been to fix it? Our fireplace doesn't work. A simple visit from the super would probably take care of it but no one would respond. Very disappointing. The toilet flushes can be heard downstairs like someone is hitting a sledgehammer. The sales office reps were great. That's why they get a better rating.

We have been in the house for two months now and no one has come to fix the 15 issues we have sent to home warranty

trying to get things fixed is a major problem no one really care except nick. i would like a big boss to call me. have left messages at corp no one has called baxk.

There are good things about this home but too many little problems and some bigger ones. Hardwood floors had a lot of glue on them, island outlets had no electricity for a month, overflow in bathroom tub was not installed correctly so water flooded, paint was on floors from touch up etc. Chips in doors, tile cracked

I think there was a rush in completing the home, compromising with quality.

We have been in the house for over a month now. We had a list of issues from our walk through that weren’t fix before we moved in and additional issues we have found since moving in. There were covers left off of electrical outlets, broken freezer shelf, leaking shower in the master, and vent hood in the kitchen that was installed wrong. These are big issues , not just paint touch ups and we still have had no word on when any of it will be fixed. It appears your goal is to wait long enough for people to forget about things or end up doing the repairs themselves. It’s very disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend pulte to anyone. ... More

Too many stuff need rework and take more than two months to finish

Our salesman Eric was great. They can never give us an accurate estimate of when the home would be completed talk to three different people I got three different estimates of completion then after longer than expected they call us and tell us it would be completed in 30 days, not giving us much time to prepare to move. After moving in our dishwasher did not work it took them almost a month to get out here to fix it and they are very slow to respond to any other issue we have been here almost 2 months and still have many unresolved issues. When I do talk to somebody they tell me they’ll take care of it right away then I never hear from them again until I call them again and they keep telling me they’ll take care of it and they still have not after almost 2 months. ...
