Pulte Homes Reviews

Pulte does not supervise subcontractors and demand that work be done right the first time. Subcontractors do the bare minimum. They are supposed to clean up after themselves, but this is not enforced, so our lot and house were trashed repeatedly. There is no pride in workmanship.

Love my new home. Still working out some kinks with minor issues we had since moving in but overall a good experience

Organize and prepare. Study the material provided and choose carefully with an eye on cost and value.

The build was good but after closing sucks

Even on settlement day,there was no preparation for delivery of house,but only the words of the person in charge of of the field and waited,but until now,it has not been fulfilled. 1. It has been more than a month since the water from master bedroom has leaked out and has been shown to the site manager, but there has been no contact yet. 2. I asked to check up garage’ outlet. But he said to me as it. That is it. So I personally called electrician for fixing 3.From the beginning,I made issued that the tree in front of house is something like die.. he said that it is ok. I wait but die. 4.Even though the lawn was damaged after installing the fence in the backyard,it has not repaired until now 5.Even thought it was the day of settlement,some jobs were completed,not clean house, not clean window that there is lots of silicon and dirty one. 6.Also there are so many main issues that I can not write.. Anyway I had very very worst experience and I never recommend Pulte homes. Before moving. I lived at Pultes home but 100 percent different now I can not understand why changed too much. Thanks for reading my comments ... More

Seems like they do a good job all around

Too many problems when we moved in. For the price we paid the problems should have been corrected.

We're happy with the layout and the choice of flooring, tiles, and paint colors. However, the workmanship was hurriedly done to complete the job. There were many rough edges, chipped tiles, grout unsealed and excess grout and paint drips that should have been corrected. Also, our new washing machine required warranty work, which took seven weeks to get new parts installed. Pulte refused to replace with a working washer and turned the matter over to Whirlpool, who insisted that they would order new parts but had no idea when they would arrive.

My buying experience was wonderful you walk in and you fall in love the high-quality materials very so much from other homes I went through probably 10 and Pulte was by far the very very best the floor they don’t use any second right products the carpet in the bedrooms is wonderful I put my ceiling fans in and my lighting and it’s absolutely amazing I love this house and would buy another from Pulte again and again Shane Eric and the crew made this experience one of the very very best!!!!

in every construction project problems are common it is the people that make the difference that is what is outstanding at Pulte Homes thank to all

This was the worst experience I have gone through in my life. The quality of build has been bad from the beginning. We have gone through 5 different field managers, each one messing everything up along the way. We closed in March 2021 and still have a list of items that are needed to be complete 2 months later with NO communication as to when they would be done. These are things that were supposed to be done the week of closing. Check the quality of everything, do not let them make you close till everything is done. We have drywall that is not finished, nails and screws sticking out of our stairs, bad carpet, flooding issues on our ground floor, countertops that have been damaged from installation, drywall patches all over the house from them forgetting to put low voltage electrical in that are now showing because of bad repairs, just overall horrible craftsmanship. It is embarrassing that neighbors that I have never met know about all the issues wrong in my house before I ever even have met them. Our first floor has water coming out of the electrical panel for 4 weeks and still no answer as to how they will fix it. There is a lack of professionalism with the builders in our neighborhood, and a lack of responsibility to fix their mistakes. I would not recommend anyone build a home with this company unless you have the time and energy to project manage the build yourself. ... More

The entire team from Pulte have been excellent. From the sales team, design center, Pulte Mortgage and the construction project manager all were awesome to work with and was there for any questions we had

Pulte made the process all around a great & easy experience, would recommend Pulte to friends & family you can’t go wrong.

I would never recommend this builder based on quality of work and I would never suggest using their finance group.

Every step of the way we were surprised on how well thought out the buying, building and closing process was. The quality of the house is amazing and the warranties given were impressing. This was our first house bought and build and it will probably be the last, because the house turned out incredible.

Pulte itself is fine to deal with. The requirement that incentives require the use of pulte mortgage has resulted in an inept mortgage organization.

Purchasing a Pulte home has been a huge mistake. Pulte sold us a home that was not completed and a week after moving in the first floor flooded, not just once but twice. Pulte has no concept of customer service, unless their strategy is to ignore your concerns until you give up trying to get their assistance. All the issues we brought up prior to closing during the final walk through were completely disregarded and a month after closing have still gone unaddressed. What a huge disappointment!!

The only negative of the experience with Pulte was Pulte Mortgage. As bad as the approval and communication was with them, they immediately sold the loan to LoanCare LLC, which as an atrocious reputation. Pulse Mortgage must have known this, including consumer class action lawsuits against LoanCare They sold our loan to them anyway. Awful.

Both the sales agent and the construction supervisor helped me through many questions, changes and issue resolution. Our experience with the design coordinator was not good. She made several errors during construction (specifying wrong items) that had to be fixed before final. She never told us that in a $1.1 million home (one of your "top" models) that we were not getting quality items that any home costing half this would have. For example: cabinet shelves that were not full length. Instead we got the useless 1/3 length shelves, and shower controllers that do NOT control the volume of water only the temperature (we have never heard of this even in cheap homes), and no outlets where needed like next to a ladies vanity (which WAS shown on the generic electrical drawing). She was in such a rush to get us through in under 2 hours we had no chance to figure things out, nor did she attempt to explain these "shortcomings". So now we have to spend our own money to get shelves, new shower controllers if we can, and outlets. These minor little items are not where Pulte should be saving a few nickels. ... More

Everything, everyone is very nice.

My experience was great! Home is top quality! The people that helped me from the very beginning to the end were phenomenal!

Do not assume that everything that is installed is done correctly. Make sure that you inspect everything before you close and have all the information that you need, Some things that you find were done incorrectly after closing, you may have to fix yourself. We found some damaged wall tiles, missing tiles, outdoor paint chipped, ceiling speakers not connected, extra electrical switches that arent connect, after we moved in and were left with resolving the issues.

We were impressed with the design and spec of the house and decided to go with Pulte vs. other builders during the pandemic. Once we sat down, we recognized several red flags but went ahead because we needed a place. The first one was the premium for the lot. We asked for an estimate of a property next door and the price difference was outrageous. It wasn't a few hundreds but a more than ten thousand with less options than our current lot. Then, they wanted to charge us for LED lights that we later found out it was standard. Then they reduce the points for the Realtor once they found that we actually have a Realtor. Then there a whole spectacle with the loan processing. We ended up having to use outside loan which then made us lose out on the low 2% interest rate. Now that we are in the house, we start noticing quality of construction isn't up to par to the "talk". Looking back, we would have backed out if we weren't so desperate for a place. ... More

Pulte did a horrible job with the drywall in multiple places. It looks like the home is 20 years old instead of a new build. Pulte damaged my floors and I had to argue for over a week to get them replaced. After temporarily moving out while they fixed the floors, I returned to find glue all over the floor and the floor had bulked up in the kitchen. It was also not level in other places. It’s been 3 weeks and they have still not come back to repair the floor. The steps were also damaged by Pulte and they still haven’t repaired those either. The list goes on and on. I will never purchase from Pulte again. ... More

Home is Beautiful, Builder very attentive, Financing in Dallas Office wonderful helpful and attentive BUT, home financing office in Colorado never picked up their phones, took an act of Congress to get a response via email or phone! We started our Journey in July 2020 and didn’t close till March 2021! Our credit scores were 600’s-700’s, so experience may be different if you have 700 & Above.
