Pulte Homes Reviews in Nashville, TN

The mortgage side was a horrible experience as was closing due to the mortgage side. Final Home inspections were a joke because there was a multitude of things that still needed to be done and even on the last and final inspection there were issues that had to be corrected repeatedly.

Pulte home is good at offering homes at affordable price. But they are compromising on quality of the material they are using for construction of house. I feel like every part of house is very delicate and fragile.

We’ve been another number in giant housing market. Our design center experience was wonderful, and we felt like Pulte was invested in building us a quality home. From that point forward, it became obvious we were a number and the most important factor was how quickly the home could be put up at the lowest cost. Our house was framed during the heaviest rains our area has seen in the last decade. Extensive flooding was a result. This was forecast and waiting for these storms to pass was entirely possible. Nothing ever slowed down. This left our home completely water logged. Mold was a concern for me, but it was made clear to me that it was not a concern for my builder. Now that we have moved into our new home, we have many area of loose subfloor upstairs and are already developing ceiling cracks within a month of living there. Feels like these are related to the waterlogged framing. There are multiple other issues we are trying to get help with including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, trim work, finishes, and others. Several of these issues were brought up on a third party home inspection and at our walkthrough. In the 3 weeks that passed from our initial walkthrough, several of these issues were never addressed. So we are now working through the warranty process to get them addressed immediately after “celebrating” the move into our new home We have very little confidence in our home. Instead of focusing on settling into this house for decades which was our plan, we are working on a 3 year plan to get out of this house before we get inundated with issues down the road. I would not recommend Pulte to a friend. I have not found the trust I would need to do that. I know we did not build a custom home. That is not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting that “my happiness was Pulte’s top priority” because I was told this multiple times. But that has not been my experience. Mikey has been great to communicate with so far. Hoping that this translates into finding some resolution to the issues we are encountering. Gunner also seemed genuine and was helpful and easy to communicate with. Unfortunately, I only had about a week to work with him at the very end of our process. ... More

We purchased the house for providing additional space for special needs kid and pulte team agreed to build the house with accessible bathroom on main floor. 1) It took 3 months for the sales person, an architect and designer to come up with plan and in the end bathroom had no overhead light. We got a very dark bathroom.for our kid who has vision problems 2,) the bathroom floor has been redone multiple times ( multiple grout colors at first) but builder has not initiated the fix until last day. The bathroom floor is redone on closing morning only to find that the water had drainage issue 3) The traders have damaged LVP floor few days before the closing and found too many scratches in multiple areas but this was not taken care before the closing and no one really cared until we inquired about it 4) the bathroom floor again redone couple of days ago but the flooring guy has idea what they are doing - this time again used different color grout and still not fixed the original issue of water not draining properly 5) the counterpart chips were broken by traders on the day of closing. Having a very tough time getting the issues fixed at the moment. You really need to chase people to get work done. We regret building our house with pulte. Please avoid pulte and build somewhere else if you want peace of mind and save your energy. Don’t waste your time. ... More

Poor Build quality and is way below from phase 1 homes. There were a lot of issue due at closing, promised to resolve and is now no one owns it and is a service requests that never gets resolved or taken care of. Service requests created 45 days ago are still not resolved. Matt the build manager, is very keen on hiding the issues at the walk, than having them resolved. Bricks around the home are stained different and do not match and the issue still exits and Matt promised to take care at the closing and now bears no responsibility. Kitchen Pantry wooden shelving are all broken, cracks every where and the service request put in at least 30 days ago still no body showed up. Hardwood chipped off several places - not resolved. Window glasses upstairs rooms are scratched, the service request was put in day 1 after closing and now they blame it on the home owner as it wasn't identified during closing and no action is being taken, Very disgusting. ...

Alex is a decent builder he could do better but he was always saying we cannot get the perfect house. If we are finding mistakes then you should resolve it and you cannot say you will not have a perfect house every time. Management is very bad they are supporting the managers even when it is their mistake. Jenny looked like she is a good person when we were buying the house immediately after buying she showed us a different color. She is saying if we do not like we can leave the earnest money and leave. It is not 1$ to leave you cannot be so rude to people buying your bad houses. Paint job is bad they applied paint on the chandeliers too. Plan of the house is also bad. Paying 730 k for this house and you cannot deliver a perfect house and also have paint issues. My money is just wasted. Worst things of all is the backyard our inspection person told that this is a crappy backyard work. They were a big drop on our backyard and it is looking very bad. I have to spend another 20k to fix it. ... More

Just a month and the floors and separating, floors creaking, lame response from the construction manager when asked about any issues. The backsplash is totally unprofessional. Just splashed some grout and tiles. Looks super ugly. Cabinet doors falling apart. Noisy exhausts. Overall not at all impressed with the quality of the build. All that the construction manager was interested is in the post closing survey.

Worst home buying experience EVER! Pulte is NOT what they used to be 15-20 years ago. There's no care for the home buyer at all. I had a Pulte home built back around 2000 and it was a quality product. My new construction home was thrown up as fast as possible with no care to quality. If I had it to do over, I would have kept looking...

I will never build a new home again and I most definitely will not use Pulte. One bad experience after another.

Bad experience for painting

From the minute that we have moved in we have had problems, the first one was the first night spent in our home when we had a water leak from the master shower trough the floors and into the kitchen which took several days to get the plumbing fixed and a couple weeks longer the get the holed patched and painted. All of the trims were done very sloppy, the paint is terrible and scuffs so easy and shows every blemish that wasnt repaired on the dry walls, but we were told they use top of the line paint. We have cabinets drawers in the kitchen that are installed crooked, even I know how to use a leveler! Our windows are scratched either from installation or from further construction done around them, and we have windows leaking.... I could go on and on about the things done incorrectly and poorly in this home!! For the price of the home it is a terrible job. They say that they will come back and fix things but I dont understand why things cant just be done correctly the first time! Buy a Pulte home only if you like to deal with crappy customer service and slow repairs forever because I'm sure they will drag it out until things are no longer under warranty and then it will be my responsibility to fix their bad construction and other mistakes. We have heard nothing but excuses as to why things weren't done and why they cant be done, never again will I own a home built by Pulte or any of their sub groups. ... More

Communication is terrible. While not a custom builder (and they are quick to tell you so) quality of workmanship is awful. So many unfinished issues even a month after closing.

Make sure to follow up and remain vigilant with the home building process. Frankly, I bought into the neighborhood however very disappointed with the builder and their process. I’m very disappointed with the entire experience.

Our house was not built very well. Our ceilings look awful. The house is built cheap and the quality looks nothing like the model. The workers don’t show up when they’re supposed to make repairs and they don’t do a good job on the repairs. We have broken baseboards that no one has fixed our driveway concrete is sloppy and doesn’t look good. I would not recommend pulte to anyone

Constantly changed project managers. Continue to pursue customer care for items not agreed upon before closing.

Home was finished over a month late due to multiple avoidable delays, most of which occurred due to lack of time management and communication by the builder. Will never build with or recommend anyone to build with Pulte.

Virus or not, I paid for a completed house. Pulte cares nothing for the customer after the check is signed

First, they force you to use their mortgage company and then they sell your mortgage before the first payment is due to a company you never heard of. Second, they sell craftsmanship. We have made 12 work orders on a brand new house. From no remote to a fireplace to stairs that are stained 2 different colors. Third, it takes weeks for them to get back to you and another 2 weeks for it to repaired. Fourth, we had 3 different contractors building the house in 10 months. Who left, who got fired. In regards to the financial side your always dealing with different people, to much turn over with the employees. ... More

Writing here again with more observations about Pulte—as I was wondering if anyone else might have had similar experiences with misinformation from the company: - The dishwasher they installed was very low quality—at 56 decibels it's incredibly loud. I think that was just another thing they cut corners on to keep their costs low. - Showerheads and fixtures: they definitely installed some of the cheapest fixtures throughout the house, $8 showerheads for example. - Our oven range was set up incorrectly, so I asked the construction manager about it and I called our warranty line, but they only told me to call Whirlpool to fix the range. Don't understand why we have to spend time fixing their mistakes. - They definitely cut corners on the double-pane windows, which are lower quality, only being able to slide up from the bottom and not from the top as well. - Installing the wrong siding color on the house: This was a particularly unbelievable experience. I'd stopped by while work was progressing on the house and I realized that the contractors had installed the wrong siding color on our house. I told the sales agent and construction manager, and they just said they'd remove the siding and install the correct one—but when I told them I'd like to be present for when they install it, they didn't want to redo it anymore. I think they realized, with my background in construction, that I know removing installed siding often damages the plywood and moisture barrier. I eventually just gave up and told them to leave the siding—though I was surprised that they actually admitted to their mistake. - Installing Hardwood instead of Carpet: When we first spoke with the sales agent, he said we could choose from different styles for the interior and exterior of the house, but customizing was only possible after signing the purchase agreement. We signed the agreement, but then a simple request like not installing carpets in the bedrooms was declined by the agent and construction manager. I said I was happy to pay the difference for hardwood floors to match the rest of the house, or to even install it myself afterwards, but they claimed the city wouldn't pass the final inspection if carpets weren't installed. (On a funny note, I ended up going to the city inspector's office in Columbia and he confirmed it would pass inspection if they didn't install carpets, and he even emailed the sales agent and manager, but they still went ahead and installed carpets anyways). There are of course many more issues, and I'm sure you all have had your own difficulties with Pulte, but I hope you've had some better luck with getting them to fix their mistakes. Thanks, Sia ...

Don't buy home a home from Pulte. They will rip you off like they too is.

We build our house in Franklin area, selling price of close to 1.5 million. Our experience since day 1 has been nothing less than but frustrating. Person (Walker) responsible of building our place knows nothing and will prefer to lie instead of saying I don't know and let me find out. I have so many examples which I can list down here like missing out air return, back porch coach light, wrong tiles, wrong color on cabinets etc... Mistakes happen but if you choose to lie then as a customer I don't want to trust the builder and their processes. Pulte deliberately hides critical information in the name of Intellectual property like master plan, electrical drawings and do not share with customer. If they do then they know that customers will catch a lot of issues and will increase their work. I will really like someone from Pulte to reach out to me. Whoever reads this and if they try just a bit to figure out these problem then you will know who wrote this. Please reach out to me, I want to give you a chance to talk about this. If not, I will be posting these reviews online like Google, Twitter and Insta so other buyers knows what they are signing up to. ... More

The “supposed” to be a brand new home by Pulte home has a faulty HVAC equipment which took over a month for some one come and take a look and after 2 attempts still not fixed , why would a brand new home that priced at 1.25 million have a broken HVAC which is not even a month old ? Where is the quality here pulte homes? shame ! My family spent thanksgiving in a cold home , thank you for nothing Pulte homes !

Worst experience with Pulte. Customer service keep asks for the rating to be 10 out of 10 instead of resolving the issues.

If I knew what I know now I would’ve chose other house company to deal with or neighborhood for that matter. They don’t care about their buyers, only the money they can get. Now that I live in this house, I’ve seen a lot of half done job, cut a lot of comers, and just covered their crappy workmanship. Very disappointing. 0 star!!!

Shawty cheap work! I’m disgusted at the amount of money I paid and the lack of care that went into my house. Can’t get anyone to fix anything properly after several attempts and work orders. Buyers beware!!!
