Quality of paint and painters are horrible

  • Vincent G.

  • Myrtle Beach, SC

I paid for upgrade paint and doesn’t cover. . And painters didn’t give another coat. I was told paint company having problems with the color I chose. Supervisor wouldn’t let me change color since painters have to come back. So I’m stuck with paint that doesn’t cover.

Ron our Builder, Vanessa our Sales consultant and Colleen at the Design Center were the best part of the lengthy process. They were all so helpful, knowledgeable and helpful. Ron made sure we’re knew everything about our new home from inside and out. Vanessa was our first point of contact and one of the most helpful people through out the build. Anytime we had a question she was always there to help or find answers. Colleen at the design center made picking and choosing our home furnished so easy and without pressure. You think you know what you want until you get there. She answered ...

Unhappy with pulte

  • Minglan Y.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 22, 2020
  • Fort Mill, SC

1. Change filed manager in the process of home building without notifying me until I found out. 2. Not detail oriented (sod is not install correctly, it's uneven and a lot of holes) 3. Outside of the house still need to be worked 4. I love the neighborhood but pulte can do better job than this. If there is a way for me to send pictures I will love to show you what happened to the house. Overall it's not a good experience.

Overall new home thoughts

  • Anthony T.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 22, 2020
  • Spring, TX

Design center needs to take extra time to make sure the buyer understands everything that is being selected. The overall quality of construction is great. The cleanup before the home owner could be better. We have a lot of grout that is smeared all over the tiles. It will take a long time to clean it. The tile installer was good on the floor but the kitchen back splash and shower stall tile could be better. The grout in the shower was very sloppy and the cleanup wasn't done properly. No one seemed to care when I expressed my concern.

Beautiful Home, Not the best options for the price point

  • Alexandra M.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 22, 2020
  • Waxhaw, NC

We have always heard of Pulte’s reputation for customer service. This is why we decided to build with them. We loved our salesperson, and builder. We love the design of the home. The only issue we have is with some of the options they offer. The materials can be sub-par, and for this price point we expected better. We have built 5 homes, so we know what to expect. We lived in another state, so we were not able to keep watch or monitor progress as we would have if we lived in the area. If we had known that the options we chose were low-level, we would have paid to upgrade. Otherwise, Pulte ...

Workmanship is okay, Subdivision is not.

While workmanship is decent, numerous issue around the subdivision including ingress/egress issues and drainage issues. Columbus staff has not been responsive except with generic vague responses nor seem trustworthy at this point.

Excellent Experience Building My New Pulte Home

I had an excellent experience from start to finish when I built my new Pulte home at Gramercy Park. Laura Robertson personalized my home by focusing on what was important to me in my new home. She made the process of building easy and was very responsive to my questions. Spencer Mackey built a beautiful home for me and has gone above and beyond to make sure that I am completely happy with my new home. I would highly recommend Pulte homes and their excellent quality and the exceptional customer service experience that they deliver.

Over-priced for what you get

In comparison to a custom home builder the quality of our Pulte home is poor. Walls aren't straight, tile is crooked, windows aren't level, and paint work is lousy. Perhaps all production builders have the same bad quality, but for this pricetag you should be able to expect better workmanship! I won't buy another Pulte house!

Pulte Homes responded:
We are so sorry to hear that you aren't pleased with the quality of your home and that has lead you to not consider building with us again.

I had a very positive experience from first tour through and after move in. My sales consultant, Justin, was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable. The Design Center staff worked with me to stay in budget, while incorporating the features I most wanted. I never felt pressured to buy upgrades. My field manager, Sofia, was incredible. She was so supportive, attentive, and worked very hard to meet my move in date requirements. I am very grateful to both Justin and Sofia for everything they did to make this as stress free as possible. The end result - I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY NEW HOME!

Not a great experience

  • Gregory D.

We do not have any issues with our sales consultant. The issue is in the quality of the materials used and the workmanship. We are also having a difficult time in getting Pulte to respond to repairs that are required. I would recommend that you tour a completed home prior to committing and do not use the models as your guide for materials and workmanship.

Horrible Experience

I just want to start out by saying I was excited about my new home when I first started this process. I am very disappointed and traumatized by your company. First, problem was with your lender and I feel I was treated unfairly and scrutinized but the bigger issue was after I closed. The Pulte representative I worked with forgot to offer me a patio in the initial stages. During the final walk thru, due to concerns from my lender about the drop off at the back of the house Pulte would put a patio in after closing. I closed May 22, 2020. The closing was amended with the patio to be installed by ...

Pulte Homes - The whole sales process was amazing, when it came to building

  • Andrew C.

  • Westland, MI

The whole sales process was amazing, when it came to building that when we started having issues. We have issues in our home that still need to be fixed. we thought we had a 30 day evaluation check list but that was all lies. We are still missing a rack from our stove and Zack the construction manager said he ordered but that was a month ago and still haven't revived it. I and very dissatisfied with the construction part of the home, and something need to change quick.
