Pulte Homes Reviews in Tucson, AZ

Construction manager was outstanding

This is our 2nd time building with Pulte Homes. The first time back in 2008 was SUPERIOR and this time was less then stellar. We had a great time designing the home and hoped it would be like our last. Upon delivery we were shocked at the low quality of our home and the errors that have been overlooked. We have reached out to our on site person to no avail. We saved our money for years to move to this location out of our home state and to be honest, we wish we had built with another company. For the HUGE amount of money we paid for this home with all the upgrades like our last, this house has been a huge disappointment. In the last few years since we build our last home clearly Pulte has gone down hill in value and fast. I would sadly not recommend anyone to build with them again. We have friends looking to build and I would advise them to go elsewhere. Pulte really let us down. We wish we had looked a little longer before we put down money to build this new dream home that has become a nightmare that no one seems to care about. Pulte received their money and clearly that is all they wanted. Sorry, but look to build with someone else. Wish I had better news for you. ... More

We purchased a "spec home" so we did not have any input as to colors, design, etc. However, the home has a lot of upgrades we are enjoying. Would like to see a wall built up more between the houses so as not to look into someone else's bathroom window-for more privacy.

Could do a better job with quality control.

workmanship and materials are really bad. It took a lot of effort just to have the poor workmanship repaired. They should finish the list identified in the walk through before closing. After closing it was already hard to have the once identified in the walkthrough to be completed

We had high hopes. Workmanship is subpar Paid extra insulation in walls and roof which was not completed. Construction manager stated he thought we would not find out. Irrigation flooding front yard. Back wall falling down. It feels like we are living in a remodel in a brand new home. Pulte mortagage unresponsive and fees are astronomical. Pulte design center is the worst. They don’t know what included or what extra options. The price for options is ridiculous. We are heartbroken with experience, we had high hopes.

Whitney (sales) was helpful (not pushing) and totally honest. She rapidly responded to our requests and was always available to address our needs. She is outstanding! David, our construction manager, was also very responsive to our needs and always willing to help - never argued with our finding. We have had 12 new homes - this is definitely among the best.

We we able to purchase a spec home, we were able to see it from the framing stage and on. The framing seemed completed with quality. However once drywall went on and the end stages of the house started coming together is where I had to monitor the house closely. There is absolutely no pride in anyone’s work anymore. Thank god I was able to walk the home on a daily basis. The superintendent was good to work with, but there was so many cosmetic issues. repairs that were completed, were actually worse in some cases. It was stressful trying to catch everything. Air conditioners were not spaced apart properly for airflow. One of The furnaces was dropped, drywall around windows not square, cement in the garage was poured too high, they had to grind the concrete to get the service door to open, microwave and oven not working; on and on. I guess that’s what you get for buying a trac home these days. I won’t ever do it again. Let’s talk about the after closing service. Terrible response time. They don’t care, you’re just another person. I have waited almost 3 weeks now for my 3rd party home inspection repair list with no phone call. I have lights that have a slight flicker to them in the back of the house after only actually being in the home for 1 week, sent an email and took them 2 weeks to address it, then for them to tell me they wont cover it under warranty and to try changing bulbs…. Seriously?!? Disappointing overall. ... More

I built two Salerno model homes in 2024, closing on both within six months of each other. If I had known what the quality of workmanship would be, I would not have had Pulte build these two homes even though the location was spectacular. I could write a very long review with the problems but mainly I would have to say poor quality of subcontractors. Paul, the building supervisor who took over for Trevor and Glenn tried his best and cared but had way too much to deal with. If it weren't for Paul I would not have closed on the homes. Short list of issues were: Two roof leaks one home. Unprofessional interior paint jobs with drips of paint spread all over the tile in both homes, including bathtubs. Painting both interiors without vacuuming drywall dust. Surround sound rear speakers in both homes not working. Grout in tile of one home was missing in so many spots. Electrical issues. Drywall issues. Outdoor front yard sprinkler system leaks causing plants to die. Both homes had to hire my own landscaper to fix. Fire Sprinkler heads in ceiling falling off continuously. Gas Stove top in one home working and took three visits to finally fix. A/C duct not hooked up to vent so cool air blowing into the attic of dining/ktichen. ... More

Holes still needing repaired. But all we were told was when do you want painters? Did our walk through and marked up a lot of cosmetic items, holes, missing items. Come to closing and sign our paperwork to be told the painters are still there. Oh and we haven't scheduled cleaners. Painters used all types of finishes on all walls, trim is half painted, sometimes even changing from flat to semi gloss to flat again on the same board. Chips in the front door, staples were just painted over that should have been removed. When removed they were just left on the ground. Doors are all chipped up, lesser quality than homes we have built before for less than half the price. Oh and when a door breaks they will replace it, give you no notice and show up at 7am with an unpainted door. All of our red tape was just removed and not corrected. Grout miss matched in backslash and dunks of it on the tile floor. Why is what is standard on a lesser "quality" house cost extra with Pulte? Plugs on the wall where you hang a TV? Nope that's extra. Holes where the fire suppression system nozzles are because we love to cool the attic. Screws through the hand rails for you to get jabbed with, now that's standard with Pulte. Holes unpatched on the exterior, roof vents appear to have been kicked, vents painted shut or open, and shutters installed by the lowest bidder. These are standard with Pulte. Give them a 5 star review and get a ring camera and an accent wall. Bought our own camera. Why have the same incompetent painters paint an accent wall when they can't do the basics? Thanks Pulte for a half a.., half million dollar home. Do better, go elsewhere. ... More

Overall, fairly happy with the build quality of the house. Were not happy at all with the level of cleanliness and finish when we moved in, and the process of getting them to come fix issues is like pulling teeth. We've had to do a lot of the work ourselves, which is unacceptable for a house at this price point. Wish we could give a better review, but Pulte leaves us with little choice.

We had an excellent experience with Pulte. The quality of the building materials and the construction process were top-notch. Any issues we encountered were resolved promptly. Paul, our construction manager, was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. He calmed any concerns we had. The only minor downside was the price of the home, which is higher due to Bidenomics.

As first-time home builders, my wife and I were both excited and a little nervous about the process, but working with Pulte Homes made the experience smooth and enjoyable. From the initial purchase through the architectural decisions, design center selections, and all the way to the final move-in, the Pulte team communicated with us every step of the way. Of course, there were moments of "hurry up and wait," which I imagine is part of any building process, but overall, the journey was managed well. In terms of quality and value, we are thrilled with our new home. It’s beautiful and feels like a high-quality build. While no home is perfect, Pulte has been incredibly responsive to any issues we've encountered, both during the closing process and after moving in. Their service team has reassured us that any concerns will be addressed promptly, and they’ve followed through. Special recognition goes to our build partners, Charmain, Nick, Sam, and Chris. These four were truly the MVPs of our experience. They were attentive, communicative, and ensured we felt confident and happy with each step of the build. They genuinely cared about making sure we loved everything about our new home, and it showed. For anyone considering Pulte as their builder, we can’t recommend them enough. The design and build process was enjoyable, and the final result still leaves us in awe—we can hardly believe this beautiful home is ours! We also have confidence that any post-build issues will be handled with the same level of care and professionalism. Pulte exceeded our expectations, and we're grateful for our new home. ... More

We have been here over a month in our new home and we can’t fully move in because of all the issues with this home drywall fixes, paint on our new $28,000 floors, electrical, plumbing, concrete, painting. This has been a nightmare. Pulte’s finish work is the worst I’ve ever seen. We would never buy another Pulte home or recommend them to anyone

As a remote buyer, it helped to have "eyes" and consistent progress updates from the site superintendent. Responsiveness to questions, concerns, or follow ups have been handled or are being handled by the team. A lot of things go into building a home and understand that usually at the mercy of several trades and people to make it come together. Perfection is the goal but not a reality usually but fixing things that should be done well and right is why you purchase things from certain companies or people. They stand behind it and have accountability. Have felt that in this experience so far. ... More

Everything went smoothly with my new homebuying experience with Pulte from sales, options selection, good quality construction, and good communication with construction manager.

Very professional experience throughout the entire process. Our construction manager was very responsive and attentive to our needs and all inquiries.

The on-site crews were very attentive to resolving issues before closing. After the closing, however, has been a total disappointment...zero contact confirming issues to be addressed. No emails, texts, etc. from customer support. Issues with low quality garage door panels with obvious manufacturing defects then blaming winds. Extremely disappointed in customer service after the home closing.

Timely, efficient build went without any problems. Would recommend Pulte

The building quality is not very good. We had issues from day one.

The only absolute thing I would change is the paint. Why every builder wants to use the cheapest interior paint I have no idea but it’s already peeling in several areas less than 60 days in a new home. I’m sure they will take care of it but still so annoying.

Paul the super intendant is great!

It’s was not the kind of experience we were looking for. House had multiple issues before closing. We closed on the house. The project manager promised us to repair all those issues before closing but didn’t happen. After closing when I asked when he will repair those issue, he told me to call customer care and he doesn’t work at this location anymore. I had to get in contact with regional manger to get the ball rolling.

Corey was always professional and quick to act on any questions or problems we had and was very friendly and polite.

Fist time purchasing a new build. Experience was great. Love the service and communication.
