Pulte Homes Reviews in Fort Myers, FL

The house would be perfect but the drywalls finish as well as the paint are horrendous! Pulte response to issues is excellent but the drywalls are a disaster as well as the paint job!

The house was done on time and had very few issues. We love the house and the experience with Pulte.

Although there were some construction issues, as in most new homes, Pulte addressed them and corrected them promptly. The warranty team has also been proactive in promptly correcting any issues as well.

I'm disappointed in the quality of the workmanship. I bought a new home because I did not want to go through the renovation process. The quality of the workmanship has required me to contact Pulte for repairs. The longer I live here the more I see. It disappoints me to have to do this.

I think pulte prioritizes their build to sell over people coming in to build from scratch but that’s my real only gripe . The team I worked with to build my house especially my project manager Dylan was absolutely amazing. He always was very attentive and responsive almost immediately. Even now a couple things ( nothing wild ) have popped up and he still has been involved . Highly recommend their building team . Worth every penny .

Mitchel was super responsive to all our concerns and questions. Great job in building our home. Very detailed in all aspects of his work

Good response team, courteous and friendly

The quality of the home met expectations....some of the normal details that need attention will need to be addressed on the next visit to the home.

Quality of work was very solid. Communication, not so much. We had 3 different construction managers. The last one was excellent, but prior to that, unless we asked what was going on, we got very little communication.

It is good to have your own real estate agent with you who is knowledgeable in new home builds with Pulte. The builder does not have your best interests in mind in many cases, so it is very helpful to have a impartial experienced advocate. It also is important to know that when you do your structural meeting with the sales team that they will hide a lot of things from you. There are many options they won't show you and they will mislead you based on what they have been told to push. You should ask to review all available options even though it takes longer. Ask questions about the options. If you wish something could be done, ask what option would make that happen. Hopefully your sales person won't lie and say something can only be done at the design meeting when it has to be done during the structural meeting because once you lock in the structural contract, it cannot be changed--no matter what. Also, be aware that if you want anything other than the default pool, you need to separately schedule a pool design meeting. Even if the customization is just a different tile color or screen options. ... More

I love the fact that Pulti has dozens of inspections from start to finish. I wish the buyers could have more than two home inspections. The tile company really needs to do a better quality control of each step when doing floors. Most floor jobs cover a large area and to get each step correct is critical.

Overall experience was good, I’m just not use to the slow Florida construction schedule.

Overall, I think the builder provides solid quality and value for the money. Mine was a model though it had only just been framed when I signed the contract. If you buy a model, there is absolutely no flexibility from the builder. The answer to every question is no. I didn't think that was necessary, but just be prepared. Further, some of the information they leave out is annoying, i.e. the finish of the walls. Or the items that are extra, low cost, but annoying, i.e. no keypad for the garage is included, or the poor looking garage floor. Having said that, it does appear to be a well-built house and the warranties seem to be a big positive. The construction manager is great, but again, his hands are tied. For a little effort to some small details, they could have gotten 5 stars from me. ... More

With Covid ending and supply chain issues, I am unsure where any blame should go. Our 1st Pulte home was very smooth, but this had many road bumps in the build. Pulte tried to fix everything quickly, but they had to rely on others, which was the issue. Ian also did not help. Next time I will look to rehab an existing house if there is a next time. Pultie's Superintendent gave us his best effort, which made things better.

The construction manager was a very good person to work with. I'd state that sales and the closing process was below average. It appeared the left foot didn't know what the right foot was doing. During the sale we were promised a few items that didn't come through. Issue was original sales person resigned right after we signed the contract and didn't leave any information on our sale. Person who took over sales never reached out with the exception of an email or two right before closing. If you purchase a home with Pulte document everything. Construction manager Sean was a good person to work through the process with. ... More

Happy with our new home, just normal punch list items which are being resolved quickly. Only complaint I would have is the looooooonnngg build process.

Building a home in this crazy home environment is not easy. Having a great Construction Manager makes a huge difference. He made sure everything was to our liking. If something wasn’t done correct, he made sure it was fixed.

Our site superintendent Javier was great to work with. Any issues we had were taken care of promptly and professionally

Our construction manager made the difference. He was excellent. Our 30 day follow up has been on time and they have just about got everything complete that needed repaired or replaced. So far so good.

First I will say that our project manager was GREAT! He was very responsive and kept us informed along the way. He always responded to emails and texts from me even though I know he was super busy. We were able to close with only a few minor issues, but my problem is that we should not have to close until everything is done and addressed. Pulte schedules the closing and has no problem pushing it back if they have issues or delays with material, but YOU cannot change closing or else you will be charged. Even if you are moving from out of state and have a scheduling conflict. The next issue I have is once you close, the challenge is now getting your “punch list” items fixed. In most cases, it’s not quick. We have been here over a month now and are still waiting on our punch list items. ... More

Overall experience even with the COVID circumstances delays etc. It was not bad.

Our construction managers have been very helpful since we do not live in our new home yet and are in another state. When there have been issues or deliveries they have been very helpful to us.

Derek and Lee Roy were great to work with!!!!

Pulte's sales process was the best we experienced while looking for a new home. They were very good at providing updates throughout the construction process. While designing our home we found that options were somewhat limited and deviations that seemed simple to us were not allowed. Standard products like cabinets and appliances are good quality. Supply chain challenges, especially with appliances, have been frustrating. The closing was stressful because there were major items that were not complete. However, Pulte stands behind their product and their team was supportive in finishing the major work quickly. We continue to work with them on the punch list. Overall we like our home and believe the structure is of high quality. We appreciate the followup on issues and the followup warranty program that will continue throughout the first year of ownership. Overall the experience was positive with some moments of frustration. We really like the sales and field construction staff. They were all very focused on delivering a quality product. It is nice to finally be in our new home and we appreciate that it was finished in 9 months in this current environment. We considered a number of production builders and we believe we selected the right one. ... More

Overall, the building process was good. My building manager was easy to work with. A lot of options but still getting a cookie cutter home that I believe was overpriced.
