Pulte Homes Reviews

We have been in the house for two months now and no one has come to fix the 15 issues we have sent to home warranty

Quality of work is poor and rushed and sloppy

We have a breaker that shuts off from doing laundry in a standard washer / dryer. Electrician came out and said nothing I can do ? WHAT ?? Broken roof tiles , no response, holes in block walls, no response yet, a couple other minor issues, no response yet. You spend over 700,000$ you expect the builder to respond quickly on issues on your brand new home.

Cheap quality construction, had a sink leak immediately noticed after closing, when asked to be fixed under warranty, I was told to wait for 11 month walk through. I lost the trust in the warranty and overall Pulte.

Selected items were being discontinued before we even got started on the build and I highly recommend you read and verify everything! Two of our design selections were noted correctly but put on the change order incorrectly and once you initial the charge order you’re stuck with it whether you like it or not.

Chips on quartz in master bath, stains on wall. Dent on dishwasher.

Don't be so excited to close, that you overlook items in your home that should be fixed, installed, or completed with the the highest quality before closing. Also if your gut tells you something should not be a certain way don't be afraid to question it and then follow up on it.

Started great but with Covid we were pushed back seven times. Now we have struggled to get things finished even though we have lived here over a month. Overall the house is amazing but getting things buttoned up has been a slow process for us

Make sure that you KNOW Your building manager and the Upper management names BEFORE YOU SIGN Anything!

when i move, no screen on the window,

Lack of attention to detail in finishing work. Can still feel uneven concrete from corrections of issues in the slab through the finished floor. Multiple issues with electrical and plumbing that needed to be addressed in first 2 weeks. Of our 3 experiences with new construction this was the worst

Still front porch gutter is not in place and I don’t see any commitment..

Everyone was very nice and responsive during the building process. After closing you are treated like chopped liver. Issues that were promised upon signing off on the final inspection prior to closing are ignored despite numerous texts and emails. Love my home but very disappointed in the lack of communication. The Field Engineers should be required to take a course on how to communicate with their clients.

If they used a higher quality of materials, I think they would have less repair issues.

I have had worker throw their trash on the ground across from where I live and not picking up after themselves which in turn blows into my yard. I’ve been filling up my own container full of energy drink cans, fast food wrappers and plastic foom. This probably sounds minimal but is turning into a everyday occurrence. What do you think that conveys to new buyers when the new house across the street is covered in trash from the workers. We like the house but you need to do better.

There are good things about this home but too many little problems and some bigger ones. Hardwood floors had a lot of glue on them, island outlets had no electricity for a month, overflow in bathroom tub was not installed correctly so water flooded, paint was on floors from touch up etc. Chips in doors, tile cracked

Pulte builder sells itself as one step above the other builders. I've worked with 3 builders in the last 8 years and Pulte is barely as good as the other builders. I've found that their people only care about one thing: Reviews. I didn't appreciate how many times they mentioned it. Due to covid circumstances, our house closing was delayed by a total of 5 months, which I don't hold them accountable to. It's what it is. The house itself is well built, nothing special compared to meritage homes for example. Some of the materials used and insulation, wasn't as good as meritage's for example. After closing, when we had issues with the house, the warranty service (now that all surveys have been filled) have been terrible. The worst experience with any builder I dealt with in the past. ...

More attention to detail and quality, ownership of as much of the end to end process as possible rather than blaming "trades" and other departments for issues.

Pulte makes you pay for even the most basic things. Workmanship quality is not as good as you expect it to be.

Overall sales experience was good. Delivery and follow up after home was done was not good. Home was not clean at delivery. Paint still on floors, windows not clean and too many items on punch list. Not sure I would build with Pulte again.

I was able to watch the house being built. I have a niece that purchased around the same time her house was LGI. The quality on her home was much better. The fit of the framing we had cracked studs large gaps in cross pieces patched in with 6 so so nails. overall I would not purchase another Pulte home.

They were in such a rush to complete the interior of the home that quite a few mistakes were made such as uneven floors, uncorked windows and scantily painted window panels, cuffed and splitting door frames, doorknob placed backwards and mal-adjusted kitchen cabinet doors. The list goes on. They tend schedule final walk through 2 days before closing and many issues go unresolved thereafter.

Pulte has beautiful homes and great features but the final quality work lacks making for a disappointing experience. They take great upgrades and don’t watch carefully how the final touches are being complete and that’s where the quality suffers.

David, who ended up running the project on the ground in the final months, was first rate. His predecessor was not.

Lack of attention to detail!
