Pulte Homes Reviews in Atlanta, GA

Amazing experience with everyone I interacted with, from the front office to project managers, loan officers, etc. However, at this price point, (over 600k), I had certain expectations for a home. Some of the standard/builder grade options were the same/less than my first new build (approximately 20 years ago). For example, I had a better shower/tub in my apartment than the stand tub/shower combo in my over half a million dollar home. In addition, some things just felt rushed. For example, there were a number of areas where paint hadn't been removed from the hard wood, paint dried but looked as though it was still dripping because of the way it dried...just small cosmetic things I didn't notice until after I moved in. ...

We had a water leak in the office room downstairs. We put in a warranty claim. The initial response was very fast which we appreciated it. The leak was fixed and stopped quickly. However, we’ve been waiting for more than a month for the drywall and the carpet that were damaged to be fixed. This should not take this long. My wife works from home and uses this office for work. We are having a very bad experience with the warranty issues to be completed in a timely manner. It is very disappointing.

My name is Kushal. Response for issues is terrible. My cabinets are coming off by itself. Sent email and called them no response. Cabinets are not included in warranty. People who worked on my cabinets did a very bad job, there are lot off issues with my cabinets.

My home construction manager quit in the home stretch. The manager that picked up our home did a great job; however, things agreed to with previous manager that was IMPORTANT to us became null and void.

I am not sure if the correct title is site manager, but he seems to be the one everyone asks questions of at the site. That one person cannot be everywhere and counts on those who work at the site to do their best. Some of the people who work on the homes are very sloppy, I.e., touch up paint dropped on the floor, cleaning was marginal and legal firm's notification of closing delay done on day of closing was disappointing. Do we like the house - yes. Are we glad we bought - yes.

The whole experience from the Sales Team, Design Center, Pulte Mortgage and Construction was stressful and horrible. First, the Sales Team did not make clear or explain in detail the different options offered which left me making some less than favorable choices. At the time, I didn't know what questions to ask so I made the decisions based on what I thought I understood. Second, at the Design Center I felt rushed and had to make decisions quickly or start to get charged for extra time. It's hard to make choices quickly without seeing how all of the different items look together. It would have been nice to either have seen all the items & choices before the meeting or get a second visit to the Design Center to make sure that my choices were what I actually wanted. Third, there was a lack of regular communication and misinformation from Pulte Mortgage. There were inconsistent requirements that caused confusion and last minute approval decision which caused me a lot of stress. Lastly, with construction there were 3 different construction managers which caused closing delays. This caused me an extra $8,000 dollars to fork out for rent because the lease was up and I had to pay month to month because the closing date was pushed out several times. The original closing date was right at the end of the lease. Due to the delays, the final stage of the building process was rushed. The workmanship was shoddy and unprofessional. The paint and caulk job is awful, there is a door in one of the bedrooms that still won't close after supposedly being fixed. All of the door hinges were covered in paint and the master bedroom window above the shower was left unfinished with an extremely poor paint job. Also, if I didn't hire a home inspector prior to closing there would have been numerous items unaddressed before closing. The day of closing the painting and cleaning were not complete and I didn't want to go to closing but I couldn't reach the lender to find out the consequences of the rate lock if I did not close that day. Unfortunately, I had to go to closing without the house being 100% complete because I did not want my rate to increase. I heard from the lender too late that the Builder would have been responsible for the rate increase. I was so frustrated and disappointed that I really just wanted to back out but couldn't afford to lose the earnest money. My husband and I had been looking at Pulte homes for years and thought they were TOP NOTCH and couldn't wait to purchase a new home so was excited when were finally in the position to make it happen just to be DISAPPOINTED! The Pulte reputation is slowly being destroyed by the poor workmanship. For the cost of this home it should be 100% we shouldn't have to do any fixing, caulking or paint touchups ourselves. If I had to do over again I wouldn't....... ... More

Evan and Donna were amazing throughout the process! I couldn’t be happier with my new home!

This was my second new build home. My first was with a different builder and the experience with my previous builder went so smoothly I regretfully assumed the process would be relatively good with any new build. I was wrong. I am so disappointed in my Pulte home. I feel like I was scammed into accepting poor craftsmanship. I bought this home less than two months ago and already want to put it back on the market to get rid of it. All they do is cut corners with their houses then promise an exhaustive warranty. I rather not deal with issues and cheap materials in the first place.

Would not recommend. Poor response time to issues. Quality is terrible for the price of homes.

Issue with low quality staircase rails and broken ones . No lights on any of the bedrooms

We are 45 days post closing with still a lot of tickets in progress. With the rate of turnover at Pulte it makes it hard to get our stuff completed and communication is horrible. It's been a lot of talk.

Really a great and professional service . I highly recommended the same.

should have finished the garage.

Sales pitch was excellent but after that all that we saw was 1. Poor quality of workmanship 2. Don't care attitude from construction teams and sales team 3. Terrible experience working with Pulte Mortgage (Lied saying they would match the rate but ate up the time for the rate to go up) 4. Did not even care to fix all the issues reported before closing 5. Did not even care to hand over the keys after closing Made us feel that why did we even choose this builder. Regretting till now looking at their worst quality, workmanship and experience with Pulte team. My 2 cents for any buyers in future, DO NOT trust Pulte team as they are one of the biggest builder, do your detailed followup and question them every step of the process (almost every week) make them accountable for issue starting from sales team to construction team & closing team if not you will end up having bad experience for sure. ...

Great experience from the sales, financing, and construction team was outstanding

Quality of the construction work is very poor. The house was not built at the luxury home standards. There was mess up in flooring, they dig the concrete in kitchen which left a lot of dust on all appliances and backsplash in kitchen. Painting work is very bad. I don't recommend Pulte homes.

Joe is a great project manager. He is there for you in any way he can help. He worked hard to get my house to close before year end. During the walk thru he took immediate action in getting everything completed so we could close. Sherri, Sales Rep, was also great.. She was quick to respond and help me in whatever I needed. Very upbeat, and made me feel that my needs were very important to her.

I love my house and it is a beautiful floor plan, but I have some issues with the workmanship and materials since the house is very expensive.

Everything in this house was rushed and looks like a half done job. Super sloppy work. Even the most basic things were not up to par. At first I was happy but after settling in I’m finding so many things wrong. Very disappointing.

They were able to finish the home ahead of time and surprised us.

Due to lack of communication between our construction manager and the closing department, our closing date was pushed back twice (both time super last minute). The quality of the house is super lacking in the workmanship and quality. Baseboards are crooked, door casings are noticeably crooked, experts who came to measure our windows for blinds mentioned that our windows were some of the least uniform and straight ones they’ve ever measure, and closet doors won’t close. This is just the start of it all. When I reached out to Pulte customer service, I was informed that these were “cosmetic issues” that didn’t warrant any fixing until the 12 month mark. This house buying and building experience has been an ABSOLUTE nightmare. ... More

Aidan was excellent and addressed our concerns as soon as he could. Was also very communicative. So was David

We paid a bit more, I feel mostly because we were buying in an up market. But Pulte was very good to work with and built us a good home. We did not face bad experiences.

I was surprised at the amount of obvious flaws and poor craftsmanship that we had to continuously point out for repair prior to closing. Bring a level and magnifying glass when doing routine walks or you’ll be stuck with shorty work.

The Houses are beautiful just little details like the doors or the paint or the delay on some things like I been leaving in my house for almost 3 months and I am still waiting on some tile for one of my kitchen wall or my stove it has not been replaced yet with the original I mean I love my house its just little details
