Pulte Homes Reviews

This was our second home built, and Pulte exceeded our expectations. They were attentive and made us feel special. Would highly recommend!

We just bought a home from Pulte (and had one previously from them in Atlanta). Many of the choices they had made before we bought the home, but we were happy with the quality of materials and they took pride in fixing all the issues we found. They are easy to work with and have a very comprehensive set of meetings to handoff the new home to you. Even now that we've finished the purchase they are still responsive at making sure we enjoy the home (and giving us ideas for contractors to make additions and enhancements for the house).

My wife and I love our new house. The build was very good and our filed contractor, Ron, was very easy to work with and answered any questions we had. We do have some items that we need corrected (30 day) and understand with all going on there may be a delay.

Not happy with the quality of the plants Pulte planted in our yard.One section no plants,Some of the plants died within the first month in our home!

From the beginning we felt as if we were getting a raw deal. When we came to pick out the lot and house we were on a time crunch and had only two days to make a decision. The sales team was nice and they drove us around to look at lots and the property. We got back to the office where we chose a lot and chose a style of home and chose all the structural choices. We left to the hotel thinking that it was a specific price because they gave us one and then received an email that was $12,000 more than the price given. The sales manager apologized and said that he should have paid attention to his trainee but why do I get screwed out of $12,000 for your lack of responsibility. So then we were told that the lot was more expensive than the other lots but why would you provide a price and then send me a more expensive price sheet? We finally made it to our new house after two months because we were unable to be attend the closing due to the corona virus. Quickly excitement became disappointment which is sad for the amount of money we paid. To start it off we feel like there was a bait and switch situation going on with the sales team. I say this because the first paperwork we signed had a $9,500 credit in the contract but it disappeared on the day of closing. The explanation I received from the sales manager via text (how professional) was "The $9500 credit was taken off the home price. This was already applied". Wow! so you mean to tell me that you gave me a price on paper to get me hooked and then changed up on me? That's not acceptable! Not being able to attend the closing in person we don't know who to turn to? because the people that I have talked to won't point me in the direction of the boss. Then we finally made it to the house and on day one we are having to clean grout, paint, sand over the house. I mean this is almost a half a million dollar house and you give it to us filthy. The windows don't stay up, the sliding doors don't close and someone put carpet in the garbage disposal along with tile grout, staples and rubber. I am extremely disappointed with the experience that we have received from Pulte. We have even considered seeking out legal counsel on the contract situation because first being misled about the price of the house where it cost me $12,000 more than quoted then $9500 credit disappearing at the closing. If I had to do it all over again I would not go through Pulte!!! Extremely disappointed! ... More

Everybody that worked with us were very helpful. Always there for us when we need them.

Have found lots of paint spots on tile floors and carpet. Painters need to work cleaner especially in a finished house. Also we were told professional cleaners would get house spotless. They need to look for this type of stuff new home owners shouldn't have to do this.

Buying a home from Pulte has been a nightmare. Since the loan process in which the mortgage people where very rude and incompetent all the time to the builder with the completion of the home. Not only the list of things to fix before closing was not done by closing date as promised but it’s been more than a month and half since my closing and I am still fighting with them back and forth to get everything fixed and done. I do not believe that this house is anywhere close the sale price. The only reason why I closed on the home was to not lose my deposit of $20k. I read all the reviews before moving forward with Pulte and was confident that it was going to be a smooth process instead was a complete nightmare. ... More

Just a few comments.....first, this will be the 4th survey or comment I have forwarded and I have yet the hear from anyone regarding my comments !! Perhaps that is SOP...not sure. During the walk-thru I asked if I needed to check the appliances... the answer was no they were checked. Well the first time I ran the dishwasher, which frankly was only last week, I learned the water shut off was in the "off" position. Apparently it was not checked. Someone was to come out today 6/24; however no one did or called to say why. The hood over the range needs some work, and have been asked to get the model number. There is no model number on it and in fact doesn't even state it is a whirlpool unit. They were supposed to come today, but did not since they didn't have the model ... 2 screws are missing, the hood is sagging and piece is loose. Why a model number is needed to make such a repair is beyond me !! The kitchen sink has stains which cannot be removed, one has been ordered and I am awaiting a replacement date. .... Also I just read the note below...interesting comments must "meet your guidelines" .... ... More

Great builder. I would do it all over again without question.

Measure your expecatations.

House still have very high humidity because of poor paint, and constructions. Very low quality sprinkler heads. Stones that they installed is not up to the expectations. Granite's are not sealed at all. Light switches in wrong places in the room. cheap plants for this luxury neighborhood homes, poor land grading, never cleaned the yard after roof installs and having lots of nails in the yard, crown molding joints are visible. Low end HVAC units and the A/C failed within a week. Very bad experience with closing. The management don't want to work with us during the Covid19 issue. Warranty team is doing great job and they are taking care of the issues quickly. These houses supposed to be like John Weiland quality. My daugter bought a home from Lennar at low end and she didn't see any issues with the construction. ... More

I was satisfied with Pulte.

All people we dealt with were pleasant and professional. Updates were timely and materials and finishes were as expected. Looking to spend many relaxing years in this home. Community is friendly and welcoming. Winters will be wonderful here.

We are finding our new home heartwarming and welcoming. We lost our last home in a fire but desperately wanted to return to our community, our neighborhood, where we had spent the last 25 years raising our 2 beautiful girls. It is with that craving of "coming home" that we have spent the past year building our new future home. We love every aspect of it. The way we were treated by everyone here, the sales, build and design teams, (Jonathan, Tim and Vicki), is beyond compare. Thank you!

Great neighborhood, high quality construction, easy to work with even though we went through the build process through long distance. Definitely recommend.

The process of buying and building the home was very easy. The building supervisors kept me informed on the progress of my home during construction. All minor repairs were noted and repaired when we did the walk through.

Love my new house.

We absolutely love our new Pulte Home. The best thing we love is the quality of our Home as well as the weekly updates from Brady our construction manager. That made the process so much completely seamless. Thank you.

I wanted to say that everything was great that we bought an amazing home, but its been almost 2 months since we closed and we still have issues that have not been fixed. We bought a spec home and started the process in April. After a couple walk throughs we were supposed to have issues fixed. Many of them are still pending going into July. The sales agent didn't know how to communicate, often times never responding to questions. We had the foreman who was getting things done for us on punchlist items, only to get laid off leaving us waiting with someone else who is slow and unresponsive at times. It shouldn't be like pulling teeth. The craftsmanship on this home or lack there of can be seen. Paint splatters all over the flooring, paint missing from cabinets. Uneven flooring, stained carpet, siding popping out, stained patio/concrete, the list goes on. If the craftsmanship and attention to detail is this bad on the outside I can't imagine how bad it is on behind the curtain. I would probably not buy with Pulte again and go with Chesmar like we had intended initially. ... More

I am excited for my new home and in a beautiful community. Outside of one neighbor, I have no major complaints.

Check everything

In the beginning they were attentive to ant little problems but since moving in they tend to ignore you and things do not get done. To rate them as excellent would not be telling the truth.

Attention to detail by the finishing trades needs huge improvement.

End product is solid and support services from sales team and build tam along the build process - excellent.
