Pulte Homes Reviews

The issues I’ve had with the plumbing has existed since I closed on the home 23 September 2020 and it’s 15 December 2020 and the plumbing is still backing up. My bathroom and shower are inoperable.

No one is held accountable. One of the workers was smoke pot. Grant makes excuses and just tells me to cover up the faulty work. Things were not built to standard. You will be hearing from the VA construction building office within a week

The home had a ton of issues and the construction team has not been open and honest about fixing the lingering issues and had been punting them to Warranty instead of taking ownership.

Be careful take lots of pictures during construction build.

So many things to say! The hluse was not finished when we moved in. We were told that the final issue would be take care of in the next few days after the moved but almost 2 months later we still working on those issues. Next week they will replaced over 10 tiles... it has been a bad experience overall...

Have been in house 2 mos., and few warranty issues have been addressed. Warranty Dept. appear to be fearful of meeting warranty requests from buyer. Possible pressure from bosses or Pulte Construction Co.? Responses by warranty Dept.: No response, Bare minimum or obviously poor and therefore unsuccessful solutions to serious issues. Bullying comments by warranty emails & workers to suggest that the owner is responsible to fix issues, which are clearly stated in Pulte Warranty Book. Monitoring & checking work completed is nonexistent. Poor or no communication, scheduling, and follow up. Responses to home owner in form letter rather than communication as to what solutions are offered by Pulte. Lack of or unqualified workers to correct errors in construction. Errors in construction appear to be caused by hurried, unqualified, unmotivated, or unsupervised workers. The home I purchased has either quality construction or sloppy or unqualified workmanship. Is anyone doing the supervising? There is one person in the Warranty Dept. that has been honest and accessible about the items that need to be fixed in the home. Marquis is the only person that has been to view the problems in the home. It has been so frustrating, time consuming, and unproductive that we may need to consider other options of solving the warranty issues. I am unable to quantify the Quality of Construction, because very little has been done rectify my concerns. ... More

Sorry I had a very bad experience with Pulte home they don’t do the right think

I feel like cheated. When I decided to buy a new construction house I had expectations to get a perfect house when I am paying close to my hard earned half Million dollars. When we had new house inspection and walk though we found too many issues which was not expected from a new construction. Drywall and finishing was very poor. Everywhere I could see nail holes in dry wall and all the trims, doors and windows. My closing date was rescheduled couple of times. To make up the changes in closing dates construction manager offered Pulte could do something for us. We discussed the option of getting garage finished and install backsplash in the kitchen. Also told me to buy backsplash and grout. They will install it and also will give me a gift card for the price of tiles and grout. Trusting their words was a bad bad idea. It's been almost 2 months after I bought tile and grout. Now they don't even pick up my calls or return the calls. No proper replay on e-mails as well. I am very disappointed I went with Pulte. I should have chosen a more reputable builder. Don't make the same mistake I made. ... More

Quality of build is really poor. I have seen many new built properties from many builders but their built is the poorest. There are issues just about everywhere in regards to the quality.

We purchased our home in April which was supposed to be ready November-January. We we informed in July we would close in September. We did our walk through and noticed several things which we noted and were supposed to be fixed before closing. . We closed and moved in a week later. The house was left a mess. (we were told construction clean) Cabinets were chipped and covered with paint, the workers left chicken bones, nails, bottles and so much debris in our yard and front of house. We have already had a nail in our tire. Our floors which we upgraded were covered with grout which is not even the right color throughout the house and is stained, our windows were covered with dust as well as our screens. Our garage door was damaged, (reported this in August to Pulte), paint was all over tiles, sprayed over insulation that fell onto the baseboard and stuck, and multiple drip stains all over walls, a/c not working properly, thermostats not properly calibrated, (a/c company out 3 times., our lights flicker all the time, rugs have stains, glue and holes in them. We have multiple cracks in the outside of the house and a few areas of the outside with chunks missing off the house. We have had 2 days of different companies out to fix things and they just do the minimum. We paid for a new home and many things in the home like cabinets have been touched up. We have damaged cabinets, damaged floors (tile and carpet) and damaged walls and paint. We have talked to our sales rep, construction supervisor and manager and they just say oh yes I understand. I don't think so because we did not get a new home, we got a rushed botched home with many damaged things and nobody cares, everyone we talk to passes it on to someone new. We are treated awful because we want our home fixed. ... More

No I would never recommend pulte to someone else. It was a horrible home buying experience and pulte still hasn't fixed things that were discussed during our final walk through.

Some of the employees are very unprofessional. The home to be considered high quality or value has a lot of errors or not good quality of work.

A lack of respect, attention to detail and quality of construction is less than substandard. Finishes were done poorly and now that weather is changing it is apparent this it is not an energy efficient home. The cold comes right through the windows. Poor quality at an extremely expensive cost.

I would not recommend building with Pulte to anyone. The sales process was bait and switch. They tell you one price and up it for things like lights which a normal builder would include a flush mount light in a quarter million dollar price tag. They give the cheapest items possible, the price point and marketing claims your getting superior luxury, it’s a lie. The corporate office will not back their product, they don’t communicate. They allow construction teams to give terrible customer experience, bad builds. Almost every trade on my home had to be ripped out and redone 2-3 times. If it weren’t for contracts We would of gone a different route. The president of the company refuses to acknowledge customers. Still dealing with getting things finished, every item is a battle to get complete after closing months ago. It should be simple, you tell your client this is what your providing & you do it. Not with Pulte. Not at all trustworthy. I would not recommend Pulte. ... More

Poor site drainage/site engineering planning, unresponsive to post move in problems in first 30 days (example: electrical plug for kitchen range protrudes from wall so drawer on said range will not fully close, so was told to call Whirlpool and builder totally shrugged off repair for owner to deal with) we moved in on 13.Agosto.2020 and the more than 3 foot high weeds behind home are still uncut. 2 frikkin months. Email replies state give the landscaping company a little time after rain to cut lawns. This is a homesite design flaw that is unsightly and massively below expectations. If we wanted deep weeds and field grass we would have bought a farm. The HOA fees we pay should address this problem by correctly remediating drainage problem (standing water over 5 inches in back yard during a heavier steady rain) and also having landscaping maintenance company with adequate equipment to keep home site clean and classy looking. May hire outside contractor cut weeds and bill to HOA. Some of the inner fixtures are of lower quality (garage entry handle falls off forcing one to go outside, re enter home through front door and then close garage entry door). Interior wal finish is of VERY LOW quality, i.e. a sloppy thin skimcoat was smaered on sheetrock and drywall seams are apparant after a month. In model home walls are proper and seamless. Not sure if this endemic to our developement or company wide but this is not a first class build. Knowing what we now know, would we have a home built with Pulte? I think not. Just being honest... ... More

After moving in, we found the garage was not insulated contrary to our purchase agreement. It then took numerous calls and threat of legal action to get this resolved. The contractors did a haphazard job fixing the issue. It also took multiple contractors multiple days to finish the work.

They doesn't have good experience in building homes, especially Land Scaping. One of the worst house we got.

Poo quality building.

Already sent emails on this

Really poor, cheap and low quality both material and workmanship. Very disappointed and regret chooses this neighborhood. All other reviews that I seen on google and etc is true. Moved here not even 2 month concrete at patio is cracked and leak plumbing near garage door. Hopefully this not happen to other people/buyer because we spend a lot of money and we don’t get what we expected. Always lot a good promise at the beginning, but the truth is way different. Good question, It’s brand NEW HOMES guys, why have a lot an issue? Hope someone take this seriously.

We were told that we should pick Pulte Title to do the closing because being part of the parent company the things go much more smoothly. Lie. Total lie. Our final walkthrough was scheduled after the closing and the keys to the house were not given to us for two full days after the closing. And then when we needed repairs done, we simply did not get any response for weeks, and got service only after we escalated the matters to senior management.

The quality of work is very disappointing and for the price we paid we expected something much better

We were lied to repeated times by employees at Pulte about the size and grading of our house. The quality of the house is an absolute disgrace, lack of consistency in the finishing even though the houses are the same model. We have to fight with Pulte to fix the issues we have had specially with the backyard and side yard. This was supposed to be our dream house but it has become our nightmare house. Leadership of Pulte should come to the neighborhood and ask each homeowner how satisfied we are with these homes. The CEO of Pulte would be embarrassed after hearing each of our comments about these joke hoses we received. PLEASE DELIVER GOOD QUALITY AKD ADDRESS OUR ISSUES!!! ... More

Built cheap, a multitude of problems and issues, upgrades are astronomical in price and executed poorly.

till now most of the problems I had not fixed
