Overall we had a good experience buying through Pulte. The value and quality of the home per square footage was much better than other similar builders, such as Perry and Highland. But sometimes there was sloppiness in the details of the home (painting the garage), but overall I am very pleased. This was my second Pulte home, and I would buy through them again.

Pulte Homes - Pulte was not good on communicating throughout home building

Pulte was not good on communicating throughout home building process. Although there were issues with delivery of items. Delays or missing items were never recieved. Because of the delays i had additional unexpected costs.

Rushed job

  • Doris M.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 05, 2022
  • Perris, CA

At a first excited glance, everything looks okay, but with time, you start to see the imperfections. The base boards are some of the worst I’ve seen. A lot of unpainted uncaulked areas. The stairs as well, paint drips, uncaulked seams, exposed areas. Some unpainted areas In ceiling. It was a rushed job and I get that they’re building in bulk, but for the amount of money paid, you’d expect a little more care.

Covid delayed material deliveries extended our build and closing date Consequently our rate increased 1.5 points The materials were acceptable, but installation ruined some of the cabinet doors Painting was poor to average even though we opted for higher level 2 tone paint scheme Kitchen backsplash marble looks bad Garage door won’t go down, keeps reversing Pulte has scheduled trades to address all punch list items and we shall see if fixes are made to our satisfaction

Great experience with Lisa and Jordan!! Back end follow-up team after we closed and completed working with Jordan lacked in response time. Took way too long for backend team to follow-up on issues post closing. Again, Lisa and Jordan were FANTASATIC.

Love our Pulte home! We had an easy time getting through the initial processes and once building started everything was easy and pretty quick. Only reason I knocked a star off of workmanship…is because the drywall/texture crews could be a bit better on their finish out. There is a couple places that texture is wavy and corners have been rubbed smooth by their trowels. Paint crews water their paint down tremendously. Other than that, everything is pretty good and the house is comfortable. We are extremely happy with everything!

Sales Excellent / Aftercare Subpar

  • Anonymous

The overall sales experience was amazing. Quick responses to issue and questions. The closing experience also excellent. The aftercare is where improvements are warranted. Slow to respond to open tickets and resolve. I liken it to buying a new car and the aftercare service to the car lacking. Pulte homes are too beautiful and they need yo work in improving their after and customer care experience.

You’d better be on site to check quality

  • Timothy O.

  • Columbia, TN

Our sales rep Danny was great. Our framing and drywall inspections were fine. There was zero quality control after drywall was installed. Closing day was hectic with multiple major repairs being made. The “celebration” was a joke. It was spent identifying large and small issues around the house. Many have been resolved, but most are still pending. Damaged entry doors, broken flooring, scratched tubs and more touch up. We love the layout of the home and our lot.

  • Kuldeep M.

  • July 05, 2022
  • Celina, TX

From starting Pulte helped us to understand the process but the way it was explained steps are not that much formal or as described on first day. Frame inspection was just a walking in framed house. It was projected like a informative session and guided tour to take pictures of important places where studs and wiring are there. I have few issues after moving in. Response to send someone was pretty good but resolution of my issues are yet pending. Last but not least...no flexibility to change or add anything. Quality of house is very good. It is sound proof from out side but inside,I can ...

Townhome Sound

I have really appreciated the responsiveness of Pulte’s staff. When warranty issues come up, they are fixed quickly and efficiently. However, the townhome I purchased is far less sound proof than advertised. I expected to hear loud sounds, but I can frequently hear doors closing and muffled talking.

It’s been just over a month that I closed my first home, and I have seen a few issues with overall build quality. Even though Pulte uses good materials, overall workmanship can be only given 3 stars. I raised my hand on a few issues, and the site manager responded that they are working on it; however no response or actions were shared with me after that correspondence. This is not the service I am expecting for the price paid. I understand that a home is built by a human and there will be some errors, however I expect quick response to issues for the premium home price paid from my hard ...

The challenge of the supply chains I realize and have built many other homes but it doesn’t excuse the fact of how dirty my house was during construction and especially after the finishes started going in the cabinets had some white dust all over them that has never been totally cleaned and the cabinets need a lot of repair and look terrible in some places a person worked on them the day after I closed and now have heard nothing four weeks later. My floors were not protected and there are many stains on my new laminate floors. The carpet was dirty or damaged and never taken care of I have ...

Our experience with Pulte has been great. As with any significant project/building process, there were some hiccups, but every one was addressed. We felt that we were truly working with a customer focused, quality company. Everything from the honesty/transparency in the sales process through their design center selection help, home construction, and closing was excellent. We have a quality home that has met our expectations.

The key to true satisfaction is when things start to go wrong and the organization is willing to work with you. When I bought the house, the rates started to increase dramatically to the point that I would've almost been priced out of the house I wanted to buy. However, at the last minute Pulte managed to ensure that I would be able to afford this home as intended and they did everything they could to ensure I could move in with max satisfaction. This company was already well rated when I first worked with them and made me a first time homeowner. Even my parents who were working along side me ...
