Pulte Homes Reviews

Very satisfied for closing time no any problem with us. Thanks.

This is our third new home build and the worst. Pulte is building too many homes too fast. Supply chain issues and worker shortage has led to many build quality issues and subpar work by their subcontractors. Field Manager does not keep promises that were made for items to be fixed so that we would close on home. We have had build quality issues throughout and it has been many months since we closed with nothing being addressed.

After our experience we wouldn’t recommend Pulte to anyone. Based on quality, difficulty to work with, lack of transparency, and neglecting to fix things.

They build a decent home but the follow-up on punch list items and defects is lacking

House had a lot of imperfections in the paint job, flooring buckling, spackling of outside stairs had holes in it and concrete perfections on the outside stairs leading to front door. gouges in the garage floor.

The electricity in the garage does not work, the water heater does not work, there are no mosquito nets on the windows. the doors are made of paper, the walls of cardboard. The neighborhood is unsafe, cars are stolen all the time and people enter the neighborhood because there are no bars and they leave the gates open. a disaster everything

Overall we love our home because it’s our home but the buying process with Pulte was painful, stressful and not pleasant. There were many times we wondered if we made the right decision. The contractors are just sloppy with their work and the sales people are completely untrustworthy. If the customer experience was better, they’d really be at the top of the game because the home designs are beautiful. Purchase with caution and just know what you’re getting into.

Poor quality esthetics Won’t recommend

There were numerous discrepancies with our home that were addressed during the final walk through that have yet to be fixed. Other issues continued to be found even after moving in. For example, lights in the kitchen do not turn on as well as the closet lights on the second floor. Overall, if we had to do it all over again we would have not chosen Pulte at all

Many items were left incomplete, even though promised, the week of closing and remain that way a month later. We should have held out and made Pulte live up to their end of the contract.

Not a "quality home" as advertised. When you ask something to be done after closing, they will kick the bucket around. Be really careful with Pulte Mortgage.

Would not do it over again given the chance and I think that's about sums up how I feel about the process and our new home with Pulte. We were made to feel bad when we brought up issues. We were treated as if we were wrong in many instances. Just terrible customer service for the money we paid.

- Relatively high price - Low-to-medium quality - Countless mistakes/issues, big or small - Lots of delays (both material and labor) and lack of coordination - Poorly maintained construction site * Trash, food debris and alcohol containers inside the construction site * No proper isolation between completed site and under construction site - Lack of prompt response when questions or issues come up both during the construction and shortly after to resolve leftover items - They don't seem to take your concerns seriously until you make it a big deal by contacting your sales consultant in the sales office (when all the visitors can see/hear) - Poor selection of the pool builder as you can only use that company if you want to build the pool along with the house ...

This is the worst home buying experience I've ever had. Once we signed the contract, all communication stopped. No updates, no information on when the build would start, nothing. Once we moved in, we hired an independent inspector look at the house. He found issues with the roof, HVAC, and some other minor things. The roof is yet to be repaired. HVAC came out and worked an entire morning re-wiring the A/C unit and thermostats. A/C wasn't even connected. We had no heat, no A/C. Once they were able to fix the A/C unit, they realized the thermostats were configured where the upstairs thermostat controlled the environment for downstairs and vice versa. When we moved in, the stove wasn't connected to the gas so no cooking for us. There were things identified by the foreman which have still yet to be resolved. ... More

The build of The home seemed okay when we walked through it, but the actual finishing of the home was terrible. The painting was atrocious and the house was left a mess. Grout work and tile was done poorly. Front door threshold brick doesn’t come up to meet the actual threshold and needs to be redone. Crumbled cement corners. Doors are hung crooked and outer doors don’t lock without pulling/pushing hard to close; strike plates don’t meet. No attention to detail. Although the issues were supposed to be resolved several times, they were not or you’re told to file a warranty claim after the fact. Super cheap faucets, fixtures, flooring (even though we upgraded), and toilets. Closed late. Very disappointing. ... More

They have good intentions but are seemingly inept at providing good service after the sale due to cut rate vendors and poorly trained personnel. Too much sloppy workmanship. They utilize your home after it's sold as a model/sample for other prospective home buyers. The materials specified are somewhat inferior at times and quite a bit of the workmanship is far from superior.

I wouldn't do this again. Pulte seems to have very little control over their sub contractors. We've encountered countless issues throughout the process (during and after the build was complete). Pulte always responds quickly, but there's no way to fix widespread shoddy workmanship (framing, drywall, painting, plumbing, electrical, flooring, windows, you name it). I just hope we don't encounter long-term effects down the line.

Workmanship of all area was very poor, and I was not happy enough about quality.

During the build process, the field manager did not communicate with me; and when I called or emailed; he didn't promptly get back to me; if at all. Since closing, he hasn't followed up promptly when I reach out. And the list of items that still need to be done/corrected, hasn't been addressed. It is beyond ridiculous

First when we moved in there were numbers of things to be fixed but nothing really had been taken care of and we have been experienced that not many punch items have been completed after a month.... I need your attention to fix our house so that my wife can use the kitchen and receive a new home as expected.

I bought a home out of state so my experience will be different I'm sure. My husband flew down the week before closing to address any issues that weren't caught the day before by the warranty manager. He flew down a week later to see they had not even begun, even though he was going to our closing an hour later. Since then, we have had sub contractors in and out of our home to do everything from remove paint on floors, clean windows that appear to have smoke damage, remove cabinets to install lighting that they forgot to, cut holes in sheet rock to run a new conduit for internet connectivity (this took 6 appointments to rectify) and the list goes on. He currently has 40 hours and 4 weeks under his belt of being a project manager on a house that was supposed to be complete, all while trying to transition to a new state, keep up with his business, unpack and most importantly spend time with his family. The best way I can describe the fit and finish of this home is "close enough for government work" ... More

Home was being rushed at the end of stage so there many issues, including water leak and electrical issues etc.

They did not finish the house and fix what was missing. Some examples no bathrooms mirrors, No water in the refrigerator, Details, etc etc... I close a month ago and they haven't fixed the things they had to fix. I haven't move yet and the closing was a month ago. My advice is before you close make sure they have finish everything, because you will have to make appointments and appointment to get it fixed and it takes lots of time. I think this should be easier since people dream is to buy their house. But ended up being stressful. Thank you.

We felt really good when we signed, but once building was started the work was rushed and we felt like we were nagging when we pointed out issues. Now that we're in the house we keep finding things that annoy us. Such as the slightest finger touching a wall will leave a mark because they used very cheap, flat paint.

overall a negative experience, home has major workmanship issues, i was told to just sign the paperwork and once the house is closed on, we will then fix the issues,
