Pulte Homes Reviews in Philadelphia, PA

The process was ok. Some deceptive initial sales tactics. Adding in random lot prices that fluctuate. Not adding radon remediation when it’s obvious that the ground had potential radon - being an old farm. Our construction mgr Dan was great. Honest. Trustworthy. At closing we had several issues which are still not remedied two mos later. One was our backyard not draining properly- yet our neighbors had an entire work crew adding dirt and seed the same day they moved in. I have asked for an update and heard nothing. And now it is too late for grass to grow.

Overall satisfaction. Quality of paint finishing needs improvement. Had to push for punch list follow up after closing. Good response once issues were addressed.

Overall good experience. Issues acknowledged in timely manner, although resolutions have been slow.

The builder was great to work with. The only thing I would recommend is staying on top of the small details (molding, painting, etc.) some of that was poorly done but the house in general was beautiful.

The Pulte staff has responded to discussing the issues with us but has been not quite useful in promptly resolving these issues.

Rushed through many items and it sometimes shows, including but not limited to not measuring for levelness and size. But great home warranty team and experience thus far.

Overall the house is great but there are many quality issues we have discovered. To start, the vanity lights in 2 of our bathrooms have fallen out. Our living room carpet is so thin, we can feel the nail strip underneath. The kids have had multiple injuries since they don’t typically wear socks or shoes in the house. Under our basement carpet floor, we can feel Little Rocks so it doesn’t seem like the floor was cleaned prior to laying the carpet. Our door locks have to be positioned a certain way in order to lock properly. And lastly, Some of the trim does not meet the floor.

Don't trust them. What they say and what they do are 2 totally different things. Was told my garage would have an extra step or 2 into my house. Ended up with 5 steps and a whole landing. I can't fit my car in the garage. Secondly, was told numerous times that I would have a prewire for a light fixture above my dining room table. They installed a prewire for a ceiling fan which is a much smaller box so my chandelier can't be installed correctly. They are saying the ceiling fan prewire is correct. Who would install a ceiling fan above their dining room table? They are very untrustworthy. Overall, my house is beautiful, but Pulte lies. ... More

Cheap sub contractors and not paid attention to small details. Have a 16 open tickets regarding all the issues.

Quality is not great for the price . Need to work on quality and pricing . We found lot of issues and after sales they never look back to solve the issues.

Very unhappy with what we paid for. Feels very unfinished. Outdoor landscaping is a mess. inside wood flooring was installed incorrect wood type and we’re still having issues. Regretting my home buying decision.

Details is very no good

Overall we love our home because it’s our home but the buying process with Pulte was painful, stressful and not pleasant. There were many times we wondered if we made the right decision. The contractors are just sloppy with their work and the sales people are completely untrustworthy. If the customer experience was better, they’d really be at the top of the game because the home designs are beautiful. Purchase with caution and just know what you’re getting into.

What was supposed to be an amazing fresh start in a new community is suddenly feeling like "a cash grab" by the builders. First, the house looks amazing, feels amazing, but then when you really get moved in you start to notice the poor craftsmanship of the house. Our first week, fire alarms constantly going off. Our second week, vents falling off the wall because not properly secured on the drywall. Our third week, I noticed how badly of a job they did on our oak staircase. My ticket was opened up 2 months ago now. The first attempt to fix it, the person came to our house for 4-5 hours and did a HORRIBLE job at attempting to fix them. Now, we want the stairs completely re-done to a way higher standard. I have still not gotten resolution on my issue and it's now a full 2 months since I opened the ticket. Recently, I joined a "WhatsApp" group for the community and I quickly learned I am not alone in being upset about this lack of overall buying experience. From what I have learned, I think the main issue between the entire neighborhood and Pulte is that the responses to tickets, emails, and actual ACTION is terrible. As someone who runs a company and personally receives 200+ emails a day, I find it hard to believe that someone can't even acknowledge you, get back to you, and schedule a fix for the issue within a timely manner. Maybe Pulte should HIRE MORE PEOPLE FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Without customer service, you dont have a company in my opinion. Overall, I am grateful for my new home however, Pulte is single handedly putting a bad taste in my mouth because it feels very "cash grab" . For the price points of these homes, quicker action for our home repairs, grading issues, lawn issues, whatever the case may be shoud be a top priority - becuase thats how customer service works! ...

Poor services from warranty department

Very Bad no one cares about the quality

If I could give 0 stars I would. They have been dishonest and difficult throughout the entire process. We’ve had several issues arising from overall poor workmanship and negligence on part of their subcontractors which they refuse to take responsibility for. They nickel and dimed us for several upgrades, but bait and switched us and subbed out for things that were cheaper than what we had paid for. They have been dishonest and the quality of their homes cannot be justified by their price. I would not recommend at all.

Very Poor Quality. They don't take ownership, and there is no quality check. They just want to close the house ASAP. Once you close the house, they will just make some lame excuse in the name of "We are not a custom builder; we are a Production builder." It feels like I bought a remodeled house at the price of a New House.

I’ve had a disappointing experience with Pulte. They make big promises during the contract phase but fail to deliver. There are numerous issues in my new house that I did not expect to see in brand-new construction. My construction manager was unresponsive and seemed indifferent, neglecting to check the quality of materials or the dimensions of rooms, cabinets, and windows as the house was being built. The salesperson was more focused on pushing the closing without addressing the issues we discussed during the final walk-through. Additionally, they planted seeds, trees, and shrubs in the yard 2-3 months before completion but never watered them. By the time of closing, everything was on the verge of dying. My kitchen sink was already scratched before the house was handed over. It appears that Pulte is more focused on starting new projects than ensuring the quality of homes currently under construction. I would not recommend Pulte to anyone, and I won’t consider them for my next home search. Extremely disappointing. ... More

Very bad execution after closing service is very bad material and build quality so poor whole house make noise floor and steps in just 1 month even doir not closing properly low and cheap quality making cost cutting

Used cheap materials & unprofessional job. Very disappointed with Pulte builder. Builder used cheap labor which benefited them only but the buyer had to suffer and comprise with final product being horrible. Everything seemed done with rush just to get it done. I have seen other builder new homes and I am very disappointed with Pulte builder for not putting their buyers satisfaction as Priority.

Too many oversights with the final product. Needing constant service requests for the things the builder shouldn't have missed in the first place.

Terrible service. Home not done in accordance with contract or upgrades. Walked away from settlement. Lawsuits threatened. Brutal experience trying to get Pulte to simply complete home in accordance with contract
