Pulte Homes Reviews

The Central Point community appears very nice, but the interiors of the homes are not as attractive as they should be due to a lack of high quality workmanship. Additionally, my home buying experience with Pulte Homes was very disappointing. My celebration walkthrough was performed while my home was incomplete and while there were serious paint issues everywhere. I also required multiple independent home inspections before being able to feel comfortable with my purchase, and I did not appreciate being rushed to sign on my home before a passing inspection was obtained. Pulte Homes has a lot of potential, but the customer service needs work, and I strongly advise all future home buyers to obtain an independent inspection before purchasing. ... More

Not great quality homes.

I was not satisfied with the build quality as well as poor results of how issues being handled. Not a trustworthy builder personally feel.

We have been moved in since March 23rd and have had issue after issue that has gone unresolved. Pulte hasn’t sent us any help besides a few emails. In my opinion we shouldn’t even be paying the mortgage if none of our warranty or services are not being upheld.

We are still finding nails sticking out of our stairway, one of our bathrooms is missing a piece of shower curtain pole, trash from workers always needing to get picked up, back yard isnt flat. Those are just to name a few.

Pulte is refusing to address poor insulation in the home that is resulting in excessive heat in the loft and extreme noise from the road behind my home even though I was required to pay for upgraded windows and insulation. They also refused to address high radon levels in my home which is a known problem in the entire development.

I was very unsatisfied with my salesman Carl , he backed on every promise he made , very unprofessional

For the price paid our expectations were higher. We are unfortunately frustrated and surprised by the lack of responsiveness to multiple concerns we had and have now. Hoping for some resolution sooner than later.

I need things repaired. My shower door is literally, falling off and is cracked. It’s been two months and no one has even scheduled. There are other issues too but this is an emergency and the builder doesn’t seem to care.

After closing the house .. Pulte Doesnt respond to there customers and lot of negligence

Pulte builds a fine house. However, their warranty folks and mortgage company make owning the house such a pain.

Overall the experience was not as good as it should have been. It was very hard to get responses from the customer service representatives for the neighborhood and they were not ready for us to move in come the closing date. Throughout the build, we would get a weekly or bi-weekly update via phone to discuss progress but were never provided pictures when we weren't even in the same state for much time during the building process. The overall attention to detail was not great when it was time for us to move in. Even though we had asked for things to be fixed during our final inspection a week before closing, which also wasn't even close to being ready for inspection (they were still painting, fixing problems, and cleaning when we showed up), not everything was fixed properly. Instead of pushing out the closing date and needing to reschedule the moving company and all of the plans that were set in stone for months because we thought 6 months was enough time to do everything properly, we decided to get in the house and fix things ourselves. You would think contractors who build multiple homes at the same time non-stop would see there mistakes and do a almost perfect job every time but that is not even close to the truth. It is disappointing to find new problems or details after spending so much money on what is supposed to be a brand new home. Many of the things they did turned out nice, but the small things have put a sour taste in our mouths. ... More

Construction and field team were great, low ratings were purely the result of sales team member we dealt with.

We moved in at the end of March...several items need fixed and we can hear in our kitchen everytime someone flushes the toilet upstairs..No insulation.. in walls...Kitchen cabinets doors are uneven...and I have big hole in my back yard and they keep putting dirt down for people who house was built after mine..Feel like since closing I don't matter.

Jodi at the sales center knowledge of layout and options were lacking severely. Blaine the project manager was great and extremely easy to work with. Happy with the house just realizing lack of attention to detail in finished project.

Walk through on March 11, close on March 16, none of the items identified have been fixed as of May 26.

This was an inventory home, but the overall experience has been disappointing. I was rushed to sign the agreement within two days to get a bonus, which didn’t leave enough time to review everything carefully. During the inspection, instead of properly addressing issues, I was EDUCATED on why things were supposedly fine—most concerns were explained away rather than fixed. I still have a dead tree in the front yard and a garage door that makes a very loud noise when opening. Even after moving in, I’ve had to submit multiple requests for electrical problems, and the response has mostly been to EDUCATE me about appliance code changes rather than address what appears to be poor electrical work. Warranty staff have repeatedly asked me to contact the manufacturer instead of taking responsibility and coordinating repairs. They asked me once to contact Whirlpool. Why would I contact Whirlpool when the switch itself trips? When I resisted contacting them, I was EDUCATED about appliance code changes that supposedly happened in 2017. This explanation makes no sense since the house was built in 2023–2024. If this is truly the issue with all Pulte homes built during that time with Whirlpool appliances, then Pulte seriously needs to reconsider either the electrical contractor or the appliances being used. There are still yellow and blue construction stickers around the house, which clearly shows how rushed and incomplete the finishing work was. Overall, the experience has felt rushed, dismissive, and lacking accountability. ... More

Project manager was great until we left his review. After we gave him a good review, he has never returned our calls. We had broken screens we wanted replaced and deep scratches in our cabinets. Loud music all day from the workers, working and banging til way after dark.(10:30pm)Garbage all over from subcontractors even in ponds.There is no maintaining of roads due to construction debris. Most important there are no weather heads on the intake of the furnace inlet on the roof on any of the houses including ours.

It was my worst experiences I had

What turned into a necessary buying experience has really soured for no reasonable explanation. The front salespeople are and serve their purpose to close "The Deal". Promise made/promises broken...... elderly hand railing for steps, follow up by painters, Ring Doorbell, etc... Now for defective building issues covered by "Their Written Homeowners Warranty". Legitimate warranty repairs/requests are acknowledged but are ignored thereafter. They go through the motions, but do not correct the issues at hand. Such as a under capacity downspout runoff. All issues brought forward within thirty days of ccupancy. These are tract homes so a little slack is extended. But drainage backup problems so bad that the water from the downspouts overflows roof spouting is a structural warranty issue. Ice buildup will affect eaves, roof shingles, facia boards, landscaping washout areas, black mold buildup, etc...... All the gingerbread looks appealing on a Pulte Home, but it is what you experience and discover after the Closing that sours the buying experience. Remember all tract home builders are the same, some just pull off fraudulent marketing a little better than others. ... More

The overall quality of my home was delivered below standard. We closed on the home with the understanding that our issues and concerns would be taken care of and they have not been as of today. We ordered specific upgrade which was missed. The overall issues were, drywall, outside siding, garage entry door. Entry door lock had an issue. We had air conditioner issues that were just taken care of on 7/28/2025. To many issues to list. We had vendors cutting our carpet outside on the dirty concrete, trades touching up and walking through our home on the new carpet with dirty shoes. The superintendent on this development dose not communicate well, has poor follow up and has no creditability. Never follows through with his commitments. ... More

I purchased an unit from Pulte Homes and was shocked at the lack of value. The unit came with no microwave, washer, or dryer—basic appliances you’d expect to be included. The paint job was sloppy, materials look and feel like the cheapest options available, and the overall construction quality is poor. The parking garage is another major disappointment. The space is so small that even a small car can barely fit, making it essentially unusable. If I could go back, I would have researched more and inspected every detail before signing. Buyers should be aware that “brand new” doesn’t always mean quality with Pulte Homes. ... More

The quality of the workmanship and the materials used are very poor. After 3 months of owning the house, I am still waiting to fix 5 issues. They don’t care, they don’t return your calls or messages.

AC units for the home are entirely too small. My house won’t cool past 78 on a 100 degree day. People who work for pulte say the units only rated to cool 18-20 degrees below outside temp. Let me know how comfortable you would be in a 80 degree home in Texas. The contract company they use for HVAC is just spinning their wheels patching and plugging the system without recognizing and replacing/remodeling the entire system. Please tell me how a 2.5 ton unit is expected to cool a 2500 sq ft house. A multi million dollar builder cannot even provide the homes they build with adequate HVAC systems so they can penny pinch those profit margins and that bottom line just a little bit more. Pulte isn’t even involved in the process anymore for our HVAC requests because they’re so slow in getting someone out to our house to fix the issues, we’ve just bypassed them entirely. We have to have 3 window units inside of our $425,000 house because pulte cannot install adequate AC units to cool a house. Just imagine if you had two little infants who need cool areas to sleep, and the Pulte rep tells you your house won’t cool past 75 in the summer. Please tell me how that’s okay and/or acceptable. We’ve had issues with drawers being broke, doors not installed correctly, and our master bathtub being cracked. The service team and warranty department are not responsive to emails, and when they are it’s a minimum one week wait time to fix whatever issues you have. Overall our experience has been bad. We have to live in a cave with all of our blinds closed and black out curtains over them because the minute we open the big, beautiful windows to allow natural light in the house, it’s 80 degrees in the house. Not the quality of house I signed for. Very disappointed and if anybody can see this review or not I don’t care, but I will never buy another Pulte home again. ... More

Material quality is poor and very lower end finishing by workers. You fill less than a month all bad quality Pulte have used. I will not recommend anyone to spend their savings to buy pultehomes.
