Pulte Homes Reviews

Great builder with a great contractor manager. I would recommend this builder to anyone

Team is good and responsive

Would not purchase from Pulte again. Communication and transparency are lacking.

Jake was great to work. He was very responsive, answered all our questions and kept everything organized and on track. Our overall experience was great. There were several limiting options that resulted in a lot of extra work for us after we moved in, but that is what we signed up for. Unfortunately we didnt learn about many of these things until the design meeting which is after we already made commitments. The model home was quite deceiving as most of the options we wanted from the model home were simply not available which was very disappointing.

We are First time builders and we felt like we were listened to and even though I consider this more of a “cookie cutter” home as these homes are made by the hundreds, details were never dismissed. Quality control was very good and overall it has been a great experience. We would recommend building with Pulte

Great people. From sales force to project manager.

We couldn't be happier with our new home. Of course we hit a few bumps along the way, but the Pulte team has been super responsive and worked with us to get everything squared away. The floor plans are open and inviting. The build process was pretty much on schedule - with a minor delay (but that's typical of a new build). Since we've moved in, responses to our warranty service requests have been prompt. Highly recommend a Pulte home!

Build process was good, however several items were installed wrong by tile company and painters had a lot of paint overspray on items throughout house. Had to have Pulte replace all the carpets after we closed because of paint overspray on carpets. Have several other small issues but are currently 7 weeks after closing and cant get anyone to come to repair them.

Both Contruction foreman’s were great, we started with Chris, then he goes of and gets married and gets the COVID-19. Can you believe that guys! Lol But Steve stepped in and was absolutely great.

overall was a good 3xperience, had to pay a ridiculous amount of money to postpone my closing due to contingency home contract fall apart, also the workmanship is not as good as other builders at least on the finishes and some structural, responsiveness to the issues I have is not good, still have issues and warranty request was put over a month now and nothing done

I am good in general with Pulte and there are a few things you need to keep in mind below. Check if a new home is thoroughly cleaned or not at closing. There were lots of painting debris and dusts on the window frames. It is really hard to remove them. Check if there are paint drops on carpet before closing. It looks like walls and ceilings are painted after installing carpet. Several paint drops that are not covered by warranty were found on a new carpet, which makes me dissatisfied with the home.

Shout out to James, the construction manager, for providing great communication throughout the entire process and delivering a beautiful final result.

We were so excited to buy a home through pulte. The price was high but the location and space was well worth it. Everything was great until they began to change things about 2 months before our initial closing date. We got a new build manager, communication stopped and build quality went down. They moved our closing multiple times and when they gave us a final date they changed it again a week before we got our keys... we had to scramble to switch time off and let our rental company know that we would need more time after already giving our 30 day notice. On the new move in day, our house wasn’t done. We had no gate or side wall, no landscape was done, the backyard was full of broken bottles nails and other junk and all of our doors were left open. The last part was really not ok we had all of our new appliances installed and then all the doors just left open with no one on the property. When we started to move our things in people started to roam our property with out introducing themselves. We had a carpet cleaner just waltz in before realizing the house was occupied, not his fault because no one told him people were moving in on their move in date. We needed the cleaners though because workers had walked all over our carpets after a rainstorm and our carpets were covered in mud. We had to have workers come finish the front yard, finish staining and even put our mantle up and ceiling fan still in. Now almost 2 months after close we are still missing concrete under our back sliding door so our door is literally free hanging with nothing underneath, we have cabinets that don’t close all the way, we’re missing metal work details on the outside of the home, paint is splattered all over the cabinets, there’s defects in the walls including a 3 foot long space where they had to move electrical components that wasn’t textured, our outlets constantly trip and don’t work, and my personal favorite there is debris under all the carpet upstairs so you can feel the bolts and wood scrapes when you walk around, this doesn’t even include how you can feel every piece of plywood under the “carpet padding” including places where it’s been filled because of wrongly placed holes or where the plywood has warped. They said we have to contact warranty now and we are in the process of doing so but it’s hard to understand why we have to contact warranty for things that we’re never actually done, like these are things missing or not done right. I feel like they rushed in the end and to be honest it doesn’t reflect or even compare to the craftsmanship seen in the model home. Every single person we talk to is amazing and kind and helpful but the upper management on these sites rushed workers. We paid just shy of 400k and our house is riddled with issues that we will probably be fighting to be fixed for months to come. The most severe of which are the missing concrete and stucco job that is uneven and in some places completely missing. They just came last week to finally clean all the spray foam off the windows and remove junk from the backyard so now I can finally let my dog out to play with out worrying about huge nails and broken glass. So that’s a plus I suppose It’s just a let down because we worked so hard for this home and we came almost everyday to dream and imagine about how our hard work is paying off. This was not the dream. It’s just a mess right now. So all in all great homes but you better micromanage and make sure to not give any notice if your moving from a rental until EVERY DETAIL IS FIXED. Also the neighborhood is amazing, and the other family’s are sweet and we are always looking our for one another. It’s a great location to live at ... More

We would have liked to see the homeowner(us) be able to do more customization... Whenever we asked about adding or changing something.(and we were willing to pay for it ) .. sorry this is the plan. Pulte needs to be more flexible

The sales department seemed as though you (the customer) were bothering them when you were trying to review and purchase the home. It was like they did not want to sell you the home. However, once I purchased the home, the General Contractor Manager and the Customer Service Manager were extremely helpful, and responsive.

Pulte bites off more than they can chew, meaning they don’t have the time to dedicate to their customers. We’ve had multiple issues and reached out to pulte representatives, only to receive a generic response of “your concerns have been noted and will be addressed in the order they were received.” Very disheartened by the whole process.

Compared to other builders around the area Pulte homes have outstanding quality on materials and the way the house is built you can see the quality since they are laying down the foundation

Worst experience after paying almost 1.7M! We still have not gotten the items fixed from our walk thru on October 26. Next home will definitely not be a Pulte!

Our Builder David Patton kept us updated ever step of the building process and was very responsive .

From the sale through the material selection process and through construction, everyone we dealt with at Pulte was professional, knowledgeable, responsive and a pleasure to deal with. No construction process is perfect, but the minor items (not issues) that came up were handled quickly and professionally. I am in the construction business and I am thoroughly impressed with the Pulte Team and the quality of our new home

The house started showing cracks and the ceiling starts to deteriorated and some drywalls starts to sink within a month. The builder ask you to give them a great survey rate and they do not fix the repairs that suppose to be done prior to closing if you don't comply on it. They claim the house is high quality, but I never seen this low quality even from various leasing apartments

The process from quotation to closure was so smooth and everybody was so supportive.

Over all things are great but after living in our house for a few months I’m noticing a lot of minor issues.

Would enjoy building another home with Pulte in the future.

Definitely rushed it at the end and you do not get what you paid for here. Poor craftsmanship from the beginning and will require a lot of work to fix on the latter end. Pay attention to all the details before closing and if you can, pick better material. Otherwise, the builder will use cheap material. Glad there is a warranty to get these addressed. Will have to see how far it goes in the repairs post installation/closing.
