Pulte Homes Reviews

Be prepared for construction issues.

Nice structure, good builder, fair price, spacious building, nice neighborhood

Some basics things not include. For a house 300 k , u can not have a bath tub, upgrade. That’s insane. Thanks pulte

First, we love the location and the house as a whole. The layout is great and the house has plenty of storage compared to our last home. We are completely satisfied with the products used to build the home such as the appliances, flooring, faucets, etc. That being said, we have had problems with the details of the finished product. Primarily details in craftsmanship such as flawed cabinets being installed and left as finished, cracked granite counter top, return flex duct in the attic not properly attached and sucking in hot attic air, just to name a few. All avoidable with attention to detail from the trades and construction managers but this seems to be a theme after to talking to several neighbors. Initially, responsiveness to issues was a problem but with our new construction manager the process has seemed to smooth out. On a side note, we moved in in late March of 2020 so COVID-19 has delayed anything being repaired but that is entirely understandable. ... More

Very timely built home.

We are very happy with our new Pulte Home!

A faster responsiveness to issues and repairs in general

Walk through on March 11, close on March 16, none of the items identified have been fixed as of May 26.

Good team work

We lived in St. Pete and could only visit to look and purchase twice. Then one in early construction. We were given feedback often and when we arrived to move house was nearly perfect. We appreciate your warantee team as they have done great work.

Throughout the process from meeting Luis in sales to Doug, our field manager, the experience was pretty awesome. From August to March I had a thousand questions and they both took the time to always answer them and meet with me when they needed to. Always with a smile. The homes in the neighborhood I bought in were and are being built by several builders and after looking at them all, Pulte was my choice. I could not be happier with my new home! Thank you Luis and Doug!!

many new appliances that were and are broken; missing outside trim; two electrical problems; retile of the entire house needed.

I would definitely recommend Pulte to my friends and family.

Overall pretty impressed with the quality of the home. Warranty response has been quick for any small issues. Would recommend!

The best advice we were given and didn't follow was "Don't settle until everything is correct!". We believed the people we spoke to had our best interest at heart. However, once they had our money, we were less of a priority...and we still are! We settled right as the pandemic took hold of the country. We appreciate that they needed to keep their workers safe. We only wish they had corrected all of the blue and green tape items that had been mark and promises they had made to us prior to us closing. Additionally, we are now finding out just how much "misinformation" we were given during our sales meeting. We had felt very comfortable with the sale person, but now realize just how much misinformation we were given. BEWARE! We'd love to talk to someone from Pulte about these issues! ... More

The process has been a great experience. Jake was awesome!

Beware you can get decision fatigue from all the choices you have to make when you design a home from scratch. At one point we said yes to a shower head upgrade that Pulte charged $1,700 for and we later found on Amazon for $149. When we pointed that out, they were unwilling to make an adjustment. Otherwise, the buying experience was very pleasant. Unfortunately, our move in has been postponed indefinitely because of the corona pandemic, so we can't speak to how livable the house is just yet.

Pulte has some good home designs, but in the end, they fall short because they hire the cheapest labor possible using the cheapest materials possible. Fit and finish is terrible, and there doesn't seem to be any inspection of the work performed. For example, many of the doors inside the house don't close. EVERY window has crooked or wavy framing and drywall work. The floor tiles throughout the house are uneven so furniture wobbles. Any purchased upgrades use the least expensive materials possible. The homes would be much better quality if someone actually followed up on the work performed to make sure it was done correctly. That piece seems to be missing. It would have been beneficial to have hired my own home inspector to follow up periodically during the build. On the bright side, the WildBlue area is beautiful. Landscaping is done well. ... More

Pulte homes are the best

Generally good but several quality issues with cabinets.

House is overall built well

We love the floor plan and design of our house. Pulte also does a great job at securing the best lots in the neighborhood. They were very responsive to issues and quick to act. Excellent experience with Pulte.

Closed on home in March. Yard has still not been installed - issue is not due to COVID-19. This is a shame as we would not have poorly rated this experience prior to closing. We have been understanding about a window needing to be replaced and workers not being allowed in homes during the pandemic. However, yards are being installed consistently around the neighborhood as we watch and wait for the past 2 months.

The quality of the workmanship was superb. The builder Patrick was helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend Pulte to anyone looking to build a home.

Thank you Nelson!
