Pulte Homes Reviews in Orlando, FL

Be cautious about one sided contract. If you delay closing they charge $250 a day. If they delay closing they don’t pay you anything. Delivering a finished home before closing is never in their dictionary, to have buffer for inspection is not a possibility. Pending stuff we’re promised to be finished in a week time after closing, it is now one & half month and people are not even responding. Struggling to connect. Pulte inspection on making sure your specifications are taken care is zero. They give the drawings to sub contractors, if the do their job 100% you are lucky. If you find out your specifications are not there, they take their own sweet time to look and react on it. I have ordered for front load washer and dryer but delivered top load and they say as per the codes it is what I have ordered. The contractor’s language in the itemized list says FL duet, which we understand as front load, contractor confirmed that he has placed an order to replace, now he is saying he can not. I don’t understand where did his order go. Minor upgrades are charged for and not worried to take care of them while constructing. If you don’t notice those upgrades, your money is gone… Not responding to my email even once is the heights of their customer focus business. ... More

Amazing experience I would definitely recommend Pulte to family and friends!!!

All areas of the home are having issues. Knowingly installing recalled electrical panels and refusing to replace them tells the ethical issue. Doors and windows do not match and close properly. The hardware installed is not aligned and is crooked. Tiles have grout and glues that weren't cleaned properly now it is too late to clean. I do not recommend anyone paying round million dollars for the home they are building. Please vet other builders before choosing Pulti.

From start to finish… sales associate was amazing! She was absolutely phenomenal and I would not have survived the process without her. Even after closing she was such an asset and worked with us to hold the builders and the trades accountable. The field manager is who I found made the biggest difference in our experience. We started with an amazing person, but halfway through switched to a new person who did not have the skill or ability to manage as many projects as he had. There was no follow through and no accountability for the actual construction of the home. This is the point we got his boss involved and everything changed. She was phenomenal and followed up with us making sure everything was done to our satisfaction. Building a house is definitely stressful and not for the weary, but working with the right people made it much easier and overall, Pulte does put out a good product. My advice… stay involved and on top of things and be the squeaky wheel! They want you to be happy and they do care about their product and reputation so communicate with them and hopefully you have people that jump in to help like we did. ... More

They will rush you into your decisions and promise lots of things but damaged doors, holes in walls and ceilings, broken fixtures, fading paint, the list goes on. Paying half million for a house you expect a level of quality that just isn't there. 2022 must have been a bad year for laborers.

Probably the worst sales associates I’ve ever dealt with. They are horrible at responding after a contract is signed, did not assist with the closing process in the least, and just not good to work with. Even when referring other buyers to the community, same song and dance, both Sabrina and Gisabel drop the ball.

We have been living in our new home since March 2023 and we love it, Tohoqua is a quite and secured community.

All issues were uncovered after closing. Below are areas of concern 1. Poor quality paint job despite paying for an upgrade 2. Cheap finishes in the home from faucets/shower heads (paid upgrade), carpet (paid upgrade), tile (paid upgrade), bathroom sinks (paid upgrade) are poor quality and cheap looking. The upgraded tile was also poor quality and the grout applied looks like sloppy and full of holes. 3. No landscaping package offered on an $800k+ home. There are multiple areas of uneven grading for the entire lawn. Grass is dying as the pressure in the sprinkler system is awful. Was informed that it is a known problem but Pulte has done nothing to address it. Nothing will be done to fix as as closing has already taken place, 4. The upgraded cabinets are also poor quality with an installer who did not paid attention to detail; caulking had to be cleaned in numerous areas; nailheads visible on cabinets, visible joint lines etc. 5. Electrical outlets/lights not working in a few areas. 6. Drywall and stucco issues throughout the home. This list just scratches the surface. The bottom line is Pulte does not deliver a high quality home with finishes comparable to its price point. Every single aspect of the home was sub contracted without any expectations of holding contractors to a high standard. This experience demonstrates Pulte has adopted a “profit at the expense of quality” attitude with home building. Pulte will nickel and dime you for every single aspect of the home but fails to deliver anything that would be considered polished and finished. If you are relying on Pulte’s previous reputation as a quality home builder, please don’t. Choose a builder who delivers on a quality home and prides itself on quality workmanship. ... More

Honestly if I was the one that came and look at the home I would not have purchased it. The first day I own the house there has been a lot of problems that has still not been fixed I have here for 4 weeks and still have all the same problems. First time it rain here is Orlando it rain cats and dogs in my house all the way from upstairs to down stairs, that has still not been fixed, broken tile still not fixed paint on the outside still not been fixed, smoke alarm has been going off since before I moved in no one seem to care if we go deaf, we had to disconnect them, some part of the roof tiles has lifted that has still been outstanding this list goes on and one. If there is a way to get a refund on this I am would very much like this to happen. Too many things to list.... I feel like I purchased a lemon house!!!! ... More

Outstanding experience from A to Z, we are very happy with our home

Our construction manager, Evan, was really good and went above and beyond. In comparison to our other new builds - everything else regarding the Pulte experience has been average to below average. There is not much of a follow up after you get the keys. The sales agent completely disappears (at least ours did). And lastly, make sure to get all issues with the home resolved before moving in because it can possibly take months to get things fixed under the warranty.

Our construction manager Shane is the best !! He was at all times on top of all the construction and very courteous. With Shene we would buy again and again!!!

No body take responsability. They say that the contractor come to home to fix the damage and the contractor come very late or don't appear for the house, so waste my time, my money and my patience, i signed two month ago and I can't live in the house because they repair something and damage other thing, I think that this nigtmare never will finish. I need to somebody to take my claims

I think I won't recommend this builder again. Quality of build is OK. Service is terrible been over 30 days didn't hear back from anyone about multiple ticket orders i put in.

If you are closing on a Pulte Home, try to ensure all major items are fixed prior to signing. Reported items afterward do not get addressed and you are ignored. It's just rude and disrespectful, this is a very common conversation with other homeowners in the neighborhood. They may have a 30% profit margin for their shareholders, but it comes at the expense of their customers.

When a homeowner pays in excess of 700-800 thousand dollars for their home, he/she should expect a home that is pretty much completed to standards. Rushing to finish homes when homeowners are waiting an average of 14-16 months and then expecting them to close when homes are not even properly cleaned after all the painting and construction, and issues are found everywhere is not something Pulte should be proud of.

The buying process was fast and despite hurdles I received good communication. Since moving in I haven't received follow up with the warranty department at all. Even if there is a delay in processing warranty claims having someone respond would be great.

The Great - The Consturction manager and the lady conducting the celebration walk through , Pulte Mortgage and PGP Title folks were outstandaing and they made all the diference. Not So Good: The Sales Agenet.Least said is the better.

The sales team lead by Carly at Estates of LakeView Reserves did a great job to identify our needs and bring an real option that match.

Closing was not on time . Quality of material is not good

Ser are very happy and satisfied with our new home. It’s our second brand new home from Pulte and we really like everything they did.
