Pulte Homes Reviews

Hi, I bought a home at one of the Pulte communities recently and the home buying process was clear and very easy. the construction manager Josh helped a lot and explains all the Queries at the right time as I am the new buyer. I would recommend Pulte to anyone.

Sales rep was not forthcoming and not up to date with information. It was obvious he was being cautious with what he communicated. Customer Care seemed more about ensuring that issues were addressed and closed as quickly as possible rather than focusing on customer satisfaction. Rep was not helpful and challenging to work with/communicate with.

Pulte has left me with empty promises. It is now been 40 days since I closed on my home and I still have blue tape in my house, crack in my bathtub, scratches on hardwood, kitchen cabinets not complete. I warn you to not close until the home is to your satisfaction.

Everything was a lie the price on the value of the home is off $262,000 you made extra in profit the work and ship was poor had nothing but problem since I moved in over 34 of them and they’re still not solved

Still things we are wait To get fix

I love my home and the model layout we picked is one of the best I’ve ever seen. It took a while for my home to be built and I understand most of the reasoning but a little more communication early on would have been appreciated. Other than that, my 2nd sales guy was great and my field manager was excellent. He was very responsive and addressed most every issue we brought to his attention. We love our neighbors and the community. Thank you

Have been disappointed in the number of issues that have cropped up with appliances and AC. Have been VERY DISAPPOINTED with the responsiveness of Pulte. One issue raised with a dishwasher in one of our units - raised on Sunday. No response from emergency team. Called and mailed multiple times. Then on Wednesday a ticket was raised. Still no resolution. Many other examples This is not helping Pute’s reputation

Good quality. Got the home in time.

Closing date was constantly pushed back. Issues before and after move in have not been completed. Very stressful and upsetting experience. Not one issue has been fixed. These issues are still in progress ( almost all cabinet doors and draws need to be replaced, front door crack needs to be replaced, 5 trees fallen over need to be replaced, land water issue----that's just a few)

This has been one for f the most disappointing home building experiences. The quality walk-throughs weren’t productive. Our closing date changed multiple times because the house wasn’t ready for the appraisal. Our appliances were moved out of the house several times and we were told our doors came from another house just so we could get closed. We couldn’t use the stove or dishwasher for over a week because of the wiring. We had several kitchen cabinets that you have to open with chopsticks. (Finally corrected). Our garage floor was covered during both walk throughs and we didn’t know that it was damaged. We have baseboards pulling away from the wall. I’ve dropped several tickets but no one at Pulte wants to fix anything. I’m disappointed in our Pulte home. Our realtor and project manager are some of the nicest people and it’s not their fault that Pulte needs to fix their operational processes. ... More

Overall, it was a good experience

It's a great home I love it!

Frustrating to see contractors destroy areas as they did their installation. Seems like lots of things needed to be redone because the next contractor broke something that was already done.

Gave regular status updates. Addressed any issues we had promptly.

Great build, sometimes slow to respond on inquiries. Craftsmanship pretty good overall.

2021 -We were in the list with multiple builder. We choice Pulte at Cielo Ranch Andrew @Sales came through for us with the great lot. Going back in fort what plan we want to build because they have a great list . We went through a rough selection of what we want to add to the house I think we were rush by the show room reps and not very helpful at all she made me feel like was irritated. We have added some items on the list that we did not really needed to the house such as extra lighting suckets etc. The short supply disaster came . We waited for the windows, lighting on the foyer, cabinet, appliances, and counter top. The blow to our experience is the interest rate it keeps going up while waiting for the house to be finish. I think they rush some of the jobs needed to finish up our home that we constantly calling for the Construction manager to be fix. I wish we went to Pulte sooner before the pandemic because we have some items that they promise on our wish list that we did not get. We were so focus on the closing of the loan and final walk through they install a boobie light on my foyer that looks hedious. Lock in the interest rate for financing you are comfortable with and make sure you request for your change order list (what comes with the house you bought). Other than that my house still looks beautiful. ... More

Poor quality and warranty. I wish to do not buy house from Pulte.

Our sales rep Sam was knowledgeable and efficient Alyssa with Pulte mortgage was awesome Our building supervisor-Lester was always communicating and looking out for our us.

We were reminded several times by numerous employees of Pulte that Pulte is not a custom builder.

Quality Home was delivered. Response after home was closed was not great.

Worked with Marilyn and she provided excellent support throughout the whole process. She kept us connected with the building supervisor and provided regular updates. Build time was with in the window of the contract, however took 2 months more than the lower limit due to pandemic labor shortages.

Sales experience was great, they were responsive and followed through. Beautiful work on the construction side. We love our new home.

Not the greatest experience, build quality and finishes were lacking due to limited construction quality control of contractors. Pulte quality assurance relied on new homeowner to find faults to include damaged cabinetry, electrical code violations and poor workmanship.

We contracted with Pulte to build a house in Jacksonville Florida in August of 2021. We were living in the Chicago suburbs at the time. Since we lived 1,100 miles away, we were told that we would get regular updates with pictures during the build process. That did not happen until after repeated calls and sales management got involved. It was also very clear to us that there would be face to face meetings required during the build and we made it clear that we needed 2-3 weeks notice to plan travel. The first meeting we needed to attend was the pre-drywall walk through. I was called on Tuesday for a meeting on Wednesday or latest Friday of the same week. Either day was not possible for us to even consider with one day notice and we had a prior commitment on the Friday so we were not able to attend the walk through. My father lives close by so he and his wife were able to do a Facetime call where we did catch only 2 items that were incorrect that were resolved. My father was not aware of the details of the build but went to have some form of representation. There were a number of items that were missed i.e. receptacles out of place being the most inconvenient now. The next step was the pre-closing walk through of which we had 1 weeks notice to pack up and leave the Chicago area to close one week later. Upon arrival for the pre-closing walk through it was clear that the house was not ready. It was promised that all items would be resolved before the closing. I had no confidence and I was correct. Little to nothing was done prior to the closing. The "celebration" walk through was delayed twice in 24 hours and still nowhere near complete. My wife was "verbally" promised upgraded appliances and I was promised additional outlets in the garage as a good faith offering for the aggravation. We did not solicit these items, they were offered. I told my wife not to hold her breath, I was right. We were in a difficult situation staying with family and movers in transit from Chicago so I asked Pulte Mortgage to hold money in escrow or the builder would have no incentive to quickly resolve the list of 85 items to be resolved that we moved into the house with. Pulte Mortgage would not, they are sister companies so my interests were not their priority. Most shocking was that Pulte Mortgage required an appraisal before closing. The home appraised around $50k under sale price so we were required to pay an additional $40k of down payment. We moved into a dirty house, with actual mud on the floors, not cleaned at all. We have had possession of the home for eight weeks and approximately 48 items have been resolved. The customer service team has been good to work with and I do know that they are trying but we should have never been called to move into a house that was not move in ready. We had moved out of our home in October of 2021 living with family we needed to get into our own home. My last home was a semi-custom built in 1990 and delivered on the date promised at signing with minimal issues, not the experience here and not what I expected. At least in the case of this build it's my opinion that there was no emphasis on quality or pride of workmanship. I would not recommend this builder or not ever build another home with them. It is a shame because a new home build is normally very exciting with a lot of anticipation and expectations in addition, for many it's their single largest investment for their hard work. Now that we are living in the home we do enjoy the weather and living close to my elderly parents. I never expected this experience moving into a cookie cutter home, it just speaks to company culture. Everything stated here is indisputable. ... More

From start to finish, my home buying experience was exceptional. From Andrew in sales, to Rob and Kim during the mortgage process, to Derrick keeping me updated during the build process. I was extremely satisfied.
