Pulte Homes Reviews

Everything went great. We had a little issue but everyone at Pulte was attentive and made sure it was perfect when we closed. Love our home

I love our home. But I would have preferred better finishing. Many areas are not smooth as should be.

Very happy with our experience. Our Construction Field Manager Larry goes above and beyond to salve any issue that arose during the inspections. Thank you very much. He has even fixed a few things himself.

Note where phone jacks, towel racks, laundry room shelf etc., are to be located. More attention to minor, but important details. Some are non-existent or very inconvenient.

Pulte has agreed to address a serious design flaw in my new home. They have limited the actions that they are willing to take. I hope that the actions that they are starting to take will somewhat resolve this issue. I realize that I'm insignificant in the scope of this large corporation. However, my spending almost $500K for my house is huge and I was hoping my new home would be a wonderful sanctuary of peace and enjoyment.

Could be better all around.

Great!

Overall Great Experience. Love the home! Sales Consultants were the best that I've ever worked with (this is the 5th home I've purchased in the past 45 years). Everyone has been great to work with including the construction supervisor, the warranty supervisor, etc. The only negative experience was dealing with Pultes Mortgage Company. I won't go into that...let's just say that it was NOT a good experience.

They charged me more, delivering a different finish than the one I requested. We had choosen U2 model, but they sold (and charged us) another model. We spent about US$7,000 more. I asked for money back, but had no answer till now.

The house is great but there were a couple of minor repair items that I discovered after moving in. I followed the process and sent them off to the warranty mailbox twice but have never received a response. Other than the responsiveness the overall experience with the builder has been very good.

did great job

We love our new home and definitely feel like it is a beautiful, quality build. However, as soon as we moved in we began noticing area after area that needed small repairs and touch-ups, mainly cosmetic. We are currently working with the warranty department to fix over 2 dozen things. Most (not all) of the problems are only cosmetic, but they have left us frustrated and feeling as if the subcontractors (particularly the painters) were not properly supervised. For example, the ceiling/wall paint edging needs to be redone throughout almost the entire home because it is uneven and sloppy, there are holes in the stucco left from the scaffolding, and the landscapers got rocks in the sewer line (causing it to back up and spill sewage into our garage from the tankless water heater drain). The warranty department has been extremely helpful and responsive, but we are still left with a situation in which we need to miss work for at least several days in order to have 9 different subcontractors come and fix the various problems. We would have much preferred to have had the closing pushed back a few days rather than to be dealing with this hassle now because they rushed so much at the end and made mistakes that weren't obvious during our final walk-through. It's disappointing that such a nice home had such ridiculous superficial mistakes made, and so many of them. To be honest, it has us wondering if other, less visually obvious mistakes were made as well. Time will tell, and hopefully the warranty department will continue to be as wonderfully responsive. ...

I love it here!!

Me and my fiancé had a very difficult time with our mortgage consultant and I highly recommended that you check in regularly because communication was not good at all in my experience. The house is great although we’ve had a hard time getting people to fix little things that’s in the warranty

Having a home built while not on site to see progress was initially a bit unnerving. The Pulte teams attention to communication made the process a smooth one. Now moved in and any and all issues are dealt with from a communication and follow up point of view quickly and professionally. The suppliers used to build the house are also top notch.

Field manager was very professional and answer all of our questions.

My family needed a quick move in ready home, and the original buyer of our home was unable to perform. We love most of the layout (would have nixed the 5th bedroom in favor of a loft or bonus room, and would have liked a tub in the master bath) and the builder was willing to make a few last minute cosmetic changes for us. That being said after moving in there is poor craftsmanship and quality everywhere. And Pulte is unbelievably cheap!!! CHEAP!!! Most of our lightbulbs burnt out within the first few weeks or never worked when we moved in. They dont finish the garage walls. They skimp on the insulation. The planning room had cheap ugly looking laminate instead of quartz to match the rest of the kitchen(we already ripped this out) There are barely any straight walls in the house. There are lots of paint touch ups and dry wall touch ups needed. There are lots of markings and quality issues with the laminate floor. Kitchen island countertop has multiple cracks and damages. Maybe we are more picky than most but I probably would not build with Pulte unless I could be there every step of the way to supervise and make sure its done right from the beginning. I appreciate Pulte wanting to give blind construction workers job opportunities but I think going forward they should at least hire people who can draw straight lines and count to 10. (excuse my sarcasm) . Pulte sales people were nice and helpful and made it easy to find a quick house, but for half a million dollars I expected much much better. ... More

Bring your own Realtor, put all communications in writing during the building process and DO NOT CLOSE until all work is completed to your satisfaction. Even as disappointing as the Pulte experience was, Dan (the last minute appointed Supervisor) worked his tail off to full fill HIS idea of a quality experience. Thanks Dan!

Can’t say enough good things about our new townhome. Beautiful finishes, spacious closets and more. From start to finish our process has been amazing!

Very happy with our new house.

So far we have been mostly disappointed in the craftsmanship rather than materials. Attention to detail in workmanship and quality control needs improvement. To date, post-closing warranty issues have been addressed.

1) Major problems with the elevator in building 5. 2) Unhappy with paint or plaster that dropped on many areas of our carpet. Unable to remove without damaging the carpet. 3) Not happy with the management company so far. Don't feel like we are getting the support and communication that we need. There are only 2 buildings built. Concerned for the future when there are 9 buildings. 4) Not sure the delay in setting up recycling bins. No communication.

Issues show up daily. Overpriced extras.

Beautiful home, but moved in with multiple issues. Construction and cleaning crew did a poor job leaving paint spatters throughout the house on the outlets, carpet, windows, and tile floors. It took 2 months to get water heater to work properlt and two main walls downstairs are visibily bowed. Warranty officer is extremely responsive and has resolved issued quickly as trades are available, but shouldn't have to fix so many problems prior to us moving in...

We were pleased overall with the building process. Pulte responded in a timely manner to our concerns.
