Pulte Homes Reviews

We're one month into a new home built by Pulte. Everyone here at the company is professional and personable. We appreciated regular updates during the build process to keep us in the loop and with our home, we closed pretty much on time. That may not always be the case with supply chain and labor issues. They are responsive with warranty issues, which is good because the home isn't perfect. But no major issues so far, only several minor ones, which we expect all homes to have. Overall a satisfying experience, we'd buy from them again.

It was a long hurdle getting to the finish but it was worthwhile.

Well based on my experience do not close on your house until you have everything that you are expected. I was the first one in this neighborhood and am still waiting for my driveway to be poured in the meantime there has been over a dozen of homes that closed after me that have both their driveway poured and some of their landscaping. Had I known I would have held off on closing.

Our new Pulte home is a high quality build, and having owned 8 homes (most of them new builds by other builders), I recognize the quality. My advice is to buy the higher level options for flooring, carpet, counters, etc. It's worth it! Consider Pulte Mortgage and Insurance, because they make things easy, and they were the lowest cost options in our case. And finally, be patient and flexible, don't stress out if something comes up. Stay focused on how great it is to buy a brand new house. We love our new place.

The layout of the home is the perfect design. Very functional and beautiful! Pulte offers multiple design options to allow you to make your home your own. The building crew kept us informed all along the way. The experience was very pleasant! Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Pulte! Our home has exceeded our expectations! Everyone at Pulte has been so helpful and knowledgeable. Our sales consultant Lance was there for us from beginning. He even helped us navigate the school system in our area! Laura was our design consultant and we are so thankful to her! Our vision has truly become a reality. Our construction manager Ed was also very informative. Ed communicated with us through the construction process and made sure everything was perfect for our move in day. Pulte builds a high quality home and has a professional team of people there for you every step of the way! ... More

My contractors Terry & Barbra was amazing to work with. My home buying process was so smooth with Pulte.

We didn't select Pulte as our builder, we chose a location we wanted and they happened to be the ones building here. We have had similar challenges as other reviewers on this site. We monitored our home throughout the build process and were here every week. It is clear that the quality of some of the trades is lacking and the communication among them was not coordinated. There are so many examples of this, but I'll spare you the details. Lots of rework and repairs that could have been done right the first time if anyone was paying attention. It was very frustrating to watch it all happen and not be able to do anything about it. We were told by our construction manager that "it's all part of the process." We still have punch list items from the build that are not completed over a month later, as many other people have said. The house was certainly not clean as it should have been (or as we were promised it would be) when we took possession. If you are planning to build a home with Pulte, it's good to be prepared for these issues. It was incredibly exhausting to try and manage the build process and keep track of things that we would expect them to keep track of. In the end, we love our neighborhood and we love our home. It could have been a better experience and we would certainly never want to go through it again, but we made it through. Hopefully you will too! ... More

Our home was finished on time. Pulte does some things that are on the cheap side... ie - paint is poor quality. Closet shelves could be better. Some ideas are not the best in actual conception. The home is beautiful though.

Waited for a year for a new home, a lot of construction issues, pushed to close and many unresolved issues in the home. Be aware of these promises and really push closing until rectified

Great team. Everyone was supportive throughout the process and made things as easy as possible.

Builder tried their best to make it but the raw materials used might not be good quality. Had to buy a repaired house instead of new house.

They rushed through to get it closed on time. Multiple things not completed or damaged when moved in. They said they’d fix it but we’ve been waiting over a month with little to nothing getting fixed. Have to keep reaching out and it gets pushed off. Most of the house is still good but bad experience overall. A lot of neighbors had similar experience.

Not even a month in the new home and there is a lot of signs of poor workmanship. Cabinets touched up with permanent marker. Slanted drawers, floors and walls/baseboards.

Pulte has a good reputation for providing a good product. Liked the fact that the home has a 10 year warranty on certain things.

Overall the Pulte house is a good house. The timelines provided at purchase were not realistic at all. Four - five months indicated, Ten months actual total. Sometimes multiple weeks went by with no progress. That is frustrating. Subs rushing to complete work often caused damage that the next group needed to correct.

Sales manager and Construction manager were super helpful.

It is VERY obvious that Pulte did not appropriately oversee the workers who built my home. So many massive issues in all of the finish trades. I wanted to move into my home with peace of mind and now I’m stuck in an endless cycle of fighting with tradesmen over their terrible craftsmanship. Absolutely horrible. I used the think Pulte stood for build quality. I no longer have this association with their name.

Pulte Homes - Bay 37 is at a good location.

Love our new home in Waterset!

Don’t expect Pulte to meet their deadlines. 125 days from dig date is a joke. It was almost a year, 345 days, to close. Things were still not finished and it’s now been two months and the exterior finishes are not complete. while I love the layout of our home I do not think the workmanship of the contractors does not equates to the what we paid for. For almost $450,000 we got $250,000 in finishes and workmanship. The painting, plumbing, flooring, etc was sloppily or half completed. Additionally turnover is bad. I will say our last build manager was great to work with and if it had not been for him I don’t think we would be in this house today. ... More

The experience was great from start to finish. Everything was timely done.

Work was done well and in a timely manner

John was and is absolutely great

Framing & Flooring work has been disappointing so far. Expected a lot more from Pulte.
