Pulte Homes Reviews

The experience didn’t feel personal. For the amount we are paying for the house I expected better communication and follow up from Pulte’s end. I also expected better results from the vendors you used. It felt as if they didn’t care and our home wasn’t really a priority for them with how careless they were with some of their work. Pulte could do a better job with following up on your vendors worksmanship.

Overall building quality is fine. Minor issues but response from warranty could be a little better

I still don’t have a mailbox! I was told it would be about 3 weeks. It is now 2 months. They put up a temporary but the post office will not deliver. I have to go to the post office to get my mail. I called but still no resolve.

There was a lot of little issues where there was splash paint in the floor or tiles. It seemed to have been rushed out, hence not a thoughtful process.

Home was not cleaned as expected. Since we had to be out of the area until move in, we were not ready for the movers to bring things into the new home. Wall dust was everywhere and many areas had not received a final wipe down after walkthrough as directed.

My whole experience so far has been up to par but when i did have issues and submitted thise issue for inquiry on 11/18/19 they have yet to be addressed. I do have an appointment for resolution on 12/20/19.

When I did the walk through I did realize there was so many issue with the house. I moved in and immediately found several poor workmanship problems that had to be fixed. The good thing thing is Pulte has a good warranty team/program.

Major plumbing issues causing flooding within the first 2 weeks and washer stopped working after 1 month. We know of 2 other homeowners with plumbing issues upon closing. Employees are friendly but company policies and procedures prevent adequate more customer service.

Love the home....'however' in one day and at the same time I had 4 contractors here fixing things that should never have needed fixing. Replace the mirror in master because of defects, 'repairing' master marble sink (what, its supposed to be brand new?), fixing shoddy drywall, repair sliding glass door. Truly believe Pulte purchases '2nds' and uses them in new homes to cut costs. A number of items in my home that needed replaced, repaired should never have been in a new home. Have spent a lot of time with people in and out getting stuff fixed and then discovering more. You begin to feel like a chronic complainer. Previously purchased a new home and never had any of these issues. ... More

The house is beautiful, but some of the workmanship is subpar. Uneven caulking and grouting, grout not wiped from tile, nicks in the cabinets, a crack in my porch from day one. Then I learned my furnace was installed incorrectly, causing parts to be replaced. I was told that every house on the street has the same problem. I’m still waiting for it to be fixed. Not to mention that my downspout drains are not yet in, and I have no grass or landscaping. This is what happens when you hire random crews to work over each other; attention to detail is lost.

Home design is exactly what we wanted, location is great, and the house was completed on time. Sales office and related offices for mortgage and insurance were very responsive. Builder was accommodating for non-standard features we requested. However, quality of workmanship and materials used were less than anticipated. Examples are plumbing lines/shutoff valves, and not using 16-inch centered studs on non-weight bearing walls. Appliances are builder grade, and we needed to have the microwave repaired in the first week.

It is a well built home. The appliances, especially the refrigerator and cooktop are terrible! No ice or water on outside of frig. Cooktop scratched after one use. Fingerprints everywhere! Frig to all bathroom faucets. They don’t tell you the pool does NOT come with a heater! $4,000 wrapped into a 30 year mtg would not be a big deal but huge expense when moving in. Doors are cheap,not solid

I found the overall finishing of the house not up to par. A lot of items that were basic and standard were missed. Seemed liked a rushed job to get the home completed. Although their customer service is good and responsive, seemed like the house was completed in a rushed manner and a lot of finishing and very obvious flaws were evident.

Quality and response are concerns and needs improvement.

Look of house out side is important as well as inside and sights have to be at list 60 x 130 better landscape in front and back of the home

Pulte builds beautiful homes , however disappointed with them overlooking the attention to details and poor communication throughout the build process.

Purchased new Pulte model smart townhouse. No one would explain WI FI.

There's a lot of things I'm starting to see in the house that I might have issues with. I haven't used the warranty yet but some of these things should have been taken care of when the house was built

When we closed on our house and did our inspection we were told by our construction manager that we had 30 days to report any issues we found with house that may have been missed in our final walkthrough. Once we identified these issues however, the people in customer service/repairs did not want to fix things. They claimed that we may have damaged them when we moved in. So here we are with a damaged garage, bathtubs, roof tiles, stucco and cabinet. So disappointed with our "dream home."

There's no lock provided for master bathroom by design! That is unbelievable and never heard of with any good builders. In spite of asking about this with Pulte the answer has been only 'NO' which doesn't sound good.

It is really important to identify and get things fixed before move-in. The biggest mistake I did during the home celebration was not paying attention to each and every detail as I was under the impression that any defect can be addressed later on due to a 12-month warranty. It has been 6 weeks since I moved and so many issues are coming up. The service team is really poor to address any issues.

Construction manager promised to fix issues after signing on closing date. Blinds to be repaired, Never done. construction team was in a rush to close out house and never completed some work promised to us that would be done after we signed. To find out the last 2 construction managers quit and left Pulte. Never should have signed until work was complete. "WE LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES'

The home was priced as per the market value but the craftsmanship of the house is not up to the standards. They just try to rush and finish the home rather than doing the right thing.

Love the home but lacks in detail and finishing touches that I would expect from this builder. The structure is amazing but there are some items that you would expect to be of higher grade in a home built by Pulte.

We were told there would be a 30 day review after we moved in. We have not heard a word. There is a big disconnect between Pulte Sales and the HOA Board which has Pulte employees on the board until all houses are sold. Communication with the HOA is entirely up to us, otherwise we would never hear a word.
