Pulte Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

They build a decent home but the follow-up on punch list items and defects is lacking

There were numerous discrepancies with our home that were addressed during the final walk through that have yet to be fixed. Other issues continued to be found even after moving in. For example, lights in the kitchen do not turn on as well as the closet lights on the second floor. Overall, if we had to do it all over again we would have not chosen Pulte at all

Once they built the house, they dont even care to fix the issues reported during walk-in. They say they will fix it but they never do. Ask them to fix all issues before paying anything to them.

We’ve had so many issues. We were promised the home would look like a model home and it wasn’t. We are waiting response to get our issues resolved. Just felt like things were put together as quickly as possible knowing things could be fixed. On top of that we have plot issues. Our plot is smaller than what was supposed to be according to the plan.

We always had to initiate communication to find out what was going on. Our house took 2 months longer than expected, but at no point we’re we reached out to to be made aware of this extension our original estimate just came and went. When we did our celebration and pointed out items that needed fixed Steven said he would be “living at our house the next couple of days to get things done.” I’m sure he didn’t do that as many of the items were not completed. We had to close with items not installed and had to wait several days for them to be installed. Then they weren’t installed correctly.

Just not what I would have expected from a national builder. The house keeps us dry but that’s about all I can say about it. Very strange building techniques and materials. Very loud with outside noise. Cold and hot spots throughout. Exposed wires, etc. Just very poor effort overall. I would never recommend a Pulte home to anyone.

After two months of home ownership I have a 15+ bullet point list of issues still needing resolved. Still don’t have a working oven, and a row of tiles have fallen off my home due to poor workmanship during installation. A lot of the concerns have been brought forward from even pre closing dates that have yet to be fixed. Additionally since we started this process we are now on our third foreman... that should tell you something.

After moving in we noticed the Drywall texturing on our home was extremely bad. You can see lines, holes, defects, and areas that was not finished or sanded, etc. To date, workers have spent 5 days of re-texturing and sanding. And now, 3 days so far, of painting our home and probably another 2 ti 3 days to finish painting Then, they need to send cleaning crew to clean as well as cleaning the air ducts due to ALL the dust that have accumulated. Pulte's Quality control should have caught this issues prior to move.

Very average. Helpfulness and getting issues handles very poor

Struggle to get repairs completed! When repairs are finally made, the repairs are shoddy and careless. Things go from bad to worse when trying to get things fixed under warranty.

You can't have a quality product if you don't hire skilled employee's and sub-contractors. They make excuses but never get it fixed.

Not happy with the quality of our build or the way the house was rushed to closing to meet numbers for builders production.

tile fell off front of house only 33 days. The General Contractor told me I have to get with insurance company for the damage. ONE TILE fell off in middle of roof! We are not happy. Insurance adjuster told me it was about a 15 minute job for $100 and our deductible is $1000. I asked GC if he has a person who could get and replace same tile. Have not heard back from Don about this. All other items have been taken care of-to be fair.

For the money I paid, I should have received a better quality house. For a $550K, cheap material seem to have been used. Everything was extra and not came with the base price.

Be very careful of doing a contingency with this company. They will start building the home prior to the contingency expiration. Get things in writing from your sales rep so that you have proof of what they tell you. Upgraded cabinets to a level 3 and they were not installed correctly. Placed hands on stair railing end piece, with some weight behind me and it broke (inside is pressed board). Paint used on walls is poor quality (1 wipe with a washcloth and it comes right off). The only highlight to our home was our Project Manager Mike was friendly and is working hard to help fix our problems. We are currently setting up our new home with 2 holes in the wall a broken pendant light and several spots that still need fixed. Main regret is we wish we would have went with a different builder. If you decide to use Pulte as your builder take the time to meet and ask questions to the other residents in the development regarding their experiences (most of our neighbors our unhappy with the quality of the homes) if we had talked to any of them beforehand we would not have purchased a home through Pulte. Also, be careful of picking out your lots... ask detailed questions about will it look the same when my house is built on it... Lot was flat when we picked it out... they created a berm in our backyard that took away about 6' x 68' foot of our yard and now we have to pay and add'l 10,000 dollars for a retaining wall. Overall I would not purchase another home from this builder. ... More

Terrible with warranty issues. Sinkholes throughout entire Pulte subdivision. Admission that land was not prepped appropriately. Rather than reach out transparently to homeowners affected, everyone has had to track down people to talk to. Warranty windows set by Pulte and confirmed by homeowner result in trades not showing up as scheduled causing missed work and worse, no repairs being made unless homeowner reschedules. LVP popping up everywhere. Warranty sends one guy with no pics of which boards to replace despite the person who assessed the need for repair taking pictures and advising there was no need to keep boards marked in home. Trade showed up two hours beyond the 4 hour window scheduled. No call made to homeowner throughout the day informing of tardiness. Supervisor of floor warranty repair supposed to circle back a week later… did not. Says in text he’s sick. I will never buy Pulte again…. Beautiful floorplans… but dropping ball on craftmanship, ownership of mistakes, and customer service. ... More

Every time we submit a claim, we get told “this wasn’t reported during close, so we don’t know who damaged it”. That can be said for anything because it’s such a fine line. Seems a little ridiculous for such an expensive house and things are supposed to be under warranty. I can say the same where they purposely placed things that had flaws where it wouldn’t be obvious without inch by inch inspection.

Within 48 hours of moving in we had to have them come and tear out a shower wall because it was installed improperly. When I went back to the sales office to find out what to do, the sales agent said ‘it’s ok, it’s under warrantee’ like it’s no big deal to have to tear up a bathroom upon moving in to my new home because I don’t have to pay to fix it!!?! We were todl that they would replace several dead plants after things cooled down but when I asked about it a month later they said it was not their problem and I had to argue with the lady about it - they still aren’t replaced After our last rain storm I noticed that the drainage from our backyard was going under our garage porch opening up a big hole. and it looks like the water may be working its way under our foundation. They said it was the landscapers problem and they weren’t responsible - although the landscaper explained to me that they had nothing to do with the poor drainage issues. Again, I had to argue and fight with a very rude woman who told me they considered the matter closed. I subsequently had their onsite Foreman come over and he finally agreed that it was their fault/responsibility and when I called the very rude lady back, she still gave me a hard time about it. Pulte is the worst builder I’ve ever worked with. Their smiles went away pretty quickly after we received out keys and moved in ... More

Mortgage company was a nightmare to deal with. The sales office knew nothing. The construction manager got his good review from me and then ghosted me. I have tried reaching out to the service team to get some things fixed for about six weeks now and still, nothing is fixed. I feel like the materials used to build the house for cheap. And way overpriced. Overall disappointed.

When we purchased we made it very clear to Sales contact that we can't move before Feb 25 and for sure in 2024. Sales contact was very confident that house won't be complete in 2024 and it takes 8-12 months . We have written communication also Pulte pushed us to close in Dec 2024 citing binding contract . However , to close in Dec Pulte even didn't install the water meter And it took almost 20 days after closing to get Water connection and trash services started . It was highly inconvenient. pulte installed different colored appliances and not ready to address it. I n addition construction manager lied that he will help addressing issues after closing ...

Make sure you inspect every aspect of your home build. We found numerous things wrong ( including beer cans in our walls). We found out that the flooring company Pulte uses has a D- rating. Once you sign the walk through papers you will not have much luck getting things repaired in a timely manner.

Final product was not in good shape. Entire countertop has to be replaced due to chips and wrong cutouts around cabinets. New HVAC installed in the wrong place, TWICE. One HVAC sounds like it is blowing up when it starts and stops. Upgraded ceiling fan in family room installed 15 feet in the air with pull chains. Seriously? Pulte mortgage continued to hound us for documents when we hadn't even sold both our homes. Work order placed for 10 various items on Oct 3rd. Have reached out countless times with no response. It's now Oct 26th. Wouldn't pick this company again or refer it to others. ... More

Pulte decides when the buyer has a walk through, even if the buyer isn't available. There is no recourse or anyone to receive your requests to simply attend your own buyer walk through. Pulte will change your inspection dates to meet their schedule. Now I have a workmanship issue and no one from Pulte customer care will respond. Go ahead, try to find people from Pulte on the internet. Imagine if you have a problem. You can't find anyone to call. They'll call you every day when you are buying, but can't return a call for poor workmanship.

We have issues with our counter top which un even , no resolution made after the report , we ended up getting new back slash. The price for the materials used for the house itself is over rated

build quality is awful.. did not expect this from pulte..
