Pulte Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

They do not respond to issues with the home . A lot of promises not kept. Communication is poor. I would advise to look for another home builder.

It started with my Pulte realtor. No help, no updates, nothing as we lived out of state. At that point I should have known how this was going to go. We closed all cash even before our house was even inspected properly. We had no kitchen faucet, no mirrors in our bathrooms, our shower had no glass and worst of all the insulation wasn’t even done in our attic spaces. All this was done after we started moving in. We have now been in our house for almost 60 days and the list of things we found during our walk through are still not even close to being done. I have been told numerous times by the field manager that I will be there or someone will be there and nothing time after time. This is the 2nd survey I have completed and nothing was done after the first one so I’m not expecting any response from this survey either. I would love someone to contact me about these issues but I won’t hold my breath. ... More

Post sale customer experience has been really bad

If you like communication, you won’t get it. Sub contractors take no pride their work. If it’s good enough that’s all that matters. Paid a lot of money to have the house interior painted. It’s the worst paint I’ve ever seen. I can never get a response to issues from anyone about issues that need handled for warranty or repairs…starting to get angry at this point.

Quality of work is okay, not great. Sloppy, no pride in workmanship. 50/50 on materials. Many were very cheap for the price we paid. Quality Control was basically none. Terrible. Responsiveness to issues, basically we got "ghosted". At 2 months from move-in, still many issues were not addressed. Word of trust to take care of things, doesn't exist. The only positive portion of this experience was the Loan Processing. Basically smooth, though communication was lacking, it was better than the rest of the process. At this point, we would not purchase another Pulte Home or recommend them. Too many issues that we personally should never had to have been part of. This house was by far "Ready to Move-In". We're still waiting for several issues to be addressed and repaired or replaced. Extremely disappointing. Pulte can certainly do much, much better. ... More

Every time we visited the job site it was filthy. No one watched the contractors that were "working" at our home. Beer bottles on site, bathroom plumbing not complete in one of the bathrooms, heater not set up. Even at our walk through the house was not clean and it doesn't seem to bother our "Construction Supervisor". We are sorry we didn't buy from a different builder.

Be prepared for the fact that your home will be nowhere near done when they say it will be. Be sure the house is complete before funding or you will have a fight to get it fixed.

My wife and I purchased 3 home from Pulte. The first was very well done so we bought two more. With each new purchase the quality, concern, customer service and follow up repairs increasing got worse. We are very disappointed!

The home looks beautiful but feel like it was rushed. I have plenty of issues that still aren’t fixed my shower is leaking out water and paint needs to be fixed inside and out. My ceiling in my garage needs to be fixed as well. I feel like my house was rushed and now I have all these problems. And the communication throughout my building process with my site manager was pretty much non-existent. He never let me know what was going on with my home I always had to find out myself on what was going on. So my over all experience with building my home with Pulte is not great. I love my home and think it looks nice but I have all these problems and none of them got fixed and now I have to wait and see if they are ever gonna get fixed. If someone would ask me about Pulte right now with what I’m dealing with right now I would not recommend Pulte to anyone giving my experience right now. ... More

Here’s our story of what we are still dealing with. Anyhow, 3 days before our final Walk through I decided to come by the house to do a walk through by myself. The night before we have some rain, but I was still very surprised when I walked in to see water leaking from my downstairs bathroom into the front door foyer. Obviously I called my super and he got on it right away. We were told the cleaning and remediation process would take about 9 days. They put us up in a hotel for those days, then we were given the new date to our closing. We did the final walk through, water issues was fixed, so we thought. Doing the walk through the quality of the build just seemed cheap. Paint job was not perfect, seemed rushed. Dry wall was uneven, paint spots over our wood floors, dings here and there, baseboards seemed rushed, dirty finger prints on our ceiling and things like that. Our super said he would have that fixed, and most were fixed the following week. Now fast forward to last week (1 month living in our new home) it rains again, and what happens again? Yep, you guessed it. Same leak, in the bathrooms, in the same spot. The roof was NEVER fixed. They roof company came and patched it, the roofers came back a week later and found 4 more holes in the roof. All were patched, the bathroom had to have the ceiling removed and replaced with new dry wall. Two weeks later, our bathroom has not been painted and still a mess. I say all of that, to say this. I will think twice next time I plan on building a house through Pulte. Not shunning them forever, yet, but will definitely think it over twice. Ps. I think their issues is the subs they use to build their house. They can give a rats butt on the quality of work they do. My house was built in the Cadence community in Mesa, AZ. ... More

I had a horrible experience with both Victoria in the sales office as well as Monica at Pulte mortgage. Victoria was rude and unhelpful and frequently used terms like “breach of contract” as a bully tactic. Monica at Pulte mortgage was often confused and had conflicting information, often calling me when she was trying to call another customer. Even at closing, she incorrectly told me my closing was on hold even though it had been given the clear to close because she had the wrong information. The house is beautiful but the experience with purchasing it was awful and I would not recommend it to anyone. ... More

They deleted my original review because I used a fitting expletive to accurately describe this company, and I’m not going to retype it. The short version is that dishonest, scumbag practice pervaded the entire experience of purchasing from Pulte, and there are plenty of better builders to get a house from. Pulte’s people will outright lie to your face about costs and fees, so you’re blinded sided with thousands of dollars in surprise fees two days before the close date, when you can’t back out without losing the earnest payment. This company simply cannot be trusted.

My salesman Josh and construction manager were very helpful. My loan rep Justice was a poor communicator and hard to contact. After closing on property my warranty person Brock Has been slow or unable to resolve issues. Luckily I took pictures of defects the day I received my keys. Pulte in the past has been a builder I’m proud to recommend. Also Pulte was working with Shasta pool so construction would go smooth but that failed also

I wouldn't recommend Pulte unless you have an attorney on retainer that can essentially hold your hand through the entire process. From sales to walk through, to follow up issues post sale they were terrible. The folks who helped sign were great including Teri who set herself apart from the rest of the company.

The attention to detail and workmanship left a lot to be desired for the price. I also have to constantly hound our field manager to get things fixed. And almost 2 months later I still have items from the pre-closing walkthrough that weren’t completed. They flooded the house while testing the water a few days before closing. If I could do it over again I probably wouldn’t buy with Pulte.

Our construction manager Mike wasn’t very communicative throughout the process on giving us updates to the build. We drove by the lot daily to check up on progress ourselves. Many items on our final walk through were left unfinished, there’s a stain on the new carpet in one of the bedrooms that has been there since before closing. Our windows don’t latch properly and I still have not heard back from Mike when the tradesmen is scheduled to come by. This is a safety issue, overall not very satisfied with the customer service. I’ve heard from other homeowners in the community that they had a 30 day walk through. We’re past 30 days and we haven’t received any correspondence regarding said walk through. All I really want is a finished home that’s on par with the model homes standard ... More

The quality of our new home is sub-par. After moving in we noticed that 2 walls in the middle of our home aren't even close to straight. They're slated to be repaired but being that were occupying the home now it will be a big inconvenience. Our A/C unit wasn't wired correctly and shorted out leaving us without air while 100+ outside and by the time it was repaired it was almost 90 in our home. Considering we just lost our home in a fire the potential to have another fire was concerning. When we moved in we discovered that the water valves in both bathrooms were installed backwards and we didn't have hot water for 3 days. There seem to be little attention to detail. The home wasn't even cleaned when we took possession. There was even nails and debris left in our backyard. We would not purchase another Pulte home. ... More

The only place that felt they were helpful was in Title!

Govany is the worst super you could get. unresponsive, no accountability and constantly blaming others for his short comings. We have to replace the our entire floor, garage floor, repair cabinets, countertops, windows, carpet, and shower glass still 2 moths after closing. all items we brought up well in advance of closing and initial walkthrough. Dont walk . . . RUN! away from pulte. Others in our community are having the same issues.

When I mentioned the issues to the field manager Cameron before closing, nothing was fixed, and it was clear that there was no effort to help

Our experience with this builder was deeply disappointing and far from what you’d expect when investing over $1 million in a new home. From construction quality to customer service and even the finance department, the process was riddled with issues and unmet expectations. The quality of workmanship and materials used was well below standard. There were multiple unfinished and sloppy details throughout the home: stair railings weren’t properly sanded or painted, several windows were installed with deep scratches, and the trim and baseboards had poorly done paint jobs—many areas chipped within weeks. These aren’t small details; they speak to a lack of care and quality control. When mistakes happened during construction, the builder routinely chose the cheapest, least effective fix rather than doing things right. For example, a large hole was put in the bottom corner of our bathroom door, and instead of replacing it, they patched it—on a brand new home. At this price point, that’s unacceptable. The lack of trustworthiness among certain trades and the absence of accountability only added to our frustration. To make matters worse, the finance department was completely unorganized. Just one day before our scheduled closing, we were told not to come because they were missing critical documents—something they should have known well in advance. This pushed our closing back over two weeks, forcing us to live out of boxes with two small children and no clear answers. Despite repeated calls and emails for updates, we were met with silence. No communication, no ownership, just stress. All in all, this was not the homebuying experience we expected or deserved. For the price we paid, we anticipated quality materials, professional service, and a builder that stands behind their work. Unfortunately, we received none of those things. ... More

Practically every wall in the home is crooked and/or out of plumb, the tile floor we paid nearly $30k to “upgrade” is laid so poorly that it has to be completely torn out and redone, the framing is so out of square in the garage that the garage door hangs off the slab by inches, windows damaged, paint drips and overspray everywhere, garage insulation and office sound deadening options we paid nearly $10k extra for simply weren’t installed, the cabinets are damaged and misaligned, windows are damaged, door trim is beat up and damaged, lights installed a foot off-center in the bathroom, the list goes on and on and on. Not to mention the sales staff giving us completely wrong information regarding the location of utilities that cost us several thousand dollars in wasted options. The lot we paid a $200k premium for has the water meter stuck in the side yard where the utility gate is that was never disclosed, wasting a good portion of the usability of the lot. An absolute trash builder that everyone should run away from. Oh, not to mention you can’t even get your survey right. We’re in Estate not “Skylin” (aka Skyline). ... More

i would prefer Taylor morrison or Aston woods. would not buy pulte homes in future anymore.

I would not recommend Pulte or Pulte Finance. Everyone was on vacation and they didn’t close the deal on time like promised. They were too busy on vacation and they wasted a lot of my time.

TO Make the biggest mistake of your life. BUY a Pulte home.
