Reseñas de Pulte Homes

If I had not stopped at the construction site every week, many things would not have been fixed until it was too late. Plumbing in the wrong place. Air conditioner pad in the wrong place. Electrical disconnect and service outlet for A/C in the wrong place. Contractors smoking in the house. Shower stall glass in master bathroom not caulked. Garage door controls on garage wall reverised. Screen for patio door bad, still waiting after a month and half to be replaced and installed. Base trim cut wrong but installed anyway. Hallway wall by third bedroom not plumb...

After closing I came home to my kids bathroom destroyed because the marble guys didn’t coordinate with construction, also everything that was written down before the final walk-through was not fixed, I still have over 15 issues they have not been fixed and it’s been two months since I closed

Issues are not addressed in a timely manner. Quality of construction is so poor.

Very well designed and functional. The only thing is that the workmanship is very poorly done, not professional workers. The paint inside is horrible, spot missing on wall, paint on the rugs, doors are so rough you can’t wash them. The grass was put on top of the sprinklers we had to dig them out. We spoke with neighbors in the community and they told us they had similar problems. For the price of these home I expected more quality work done.

lighting, painting, workmanship issues from beginning to end.

If you are not an advocate Pulte will try and pull things over on you to meet their deadlines etc. great neighborhood but house quality and transparency by pulte is poor

Many systems in the house are very good but poorly integrated. Very good HVAC, very good home controls, good lighting but the ceilings in the house have holes everywhere. None of the systems are aesthetically aligned, multiple access panels for service, each contractor did what they wanted without any overall management. Cleaners came in and ruined stained doors and trim by using bleach and water to sanitize home. Kitchen cabinets are not commercial. Installer drove nails through the side of cabinets, smeared putty all over finished surfaces, cabinet trim fell off, scratches everywhere, no trim around dishwashers, no trim around laundry room cabinets, more issues than I can list. The amount of rework required to resolve ceiling integration, re-stain the woodwork,, and replace cabinets will require us to move out for a few weeks. The only reason we proceeded with the sale was because of the current field superintendent and sales person. By the way, we went thru 3 field superintendents during the build of the home. Needless to say, management and leadership during the build was lacking. ... Más

Paid extra for an upgrade. Not worth it. Tiles & Grout were not sealed. Tiles have stained marks & excess grout. Bannister missing screws and nut bolt exposed. A toilet is loose. Vents/Extractors in bathrooms very inefficient. Places for show only. Paint lines crooked. White paint on the metal rails. POWER keeps tripping. Outside railing not stained. Garage and driveway excess cement not cleaned. Garden not weeded before closing. 30 day walk through still not done.

Pulte has been awful with the quality of work that has been performed, I have shutters that are coming of the home, I have not been in the home but a little over 60 days. The wood on my deck has completely cracked, there has been absolutely no one from warranty to address these issues whatsoever.

We first looked at Pulte homes in early June with a wonderful individual, she had a great personality, was open, honest and a pleasure to work with. Almost immediately after signing our contract, she was moved to a different location and a new representative was going to take over. All seemed fine until the emails responses were delayed, the responses were not detailed and the ask of a simple question seemed like too much work. Once we started visiting the sites, we were OK with the process, things were going as scheduled. Then in November a change order came in that we owed 5k for a 'miss' on cabinets. While that was quickly fixed without us paying, the request to pay without explanation was not good business. Our final walk through with the build manager was sub par, the fixes that we tagged with tape didn't get fixed. We were forced to move in to a finished house with minor mistakes vs. delay move in so that they could finish what they were supposed to get the first time. Overall it was a sub par experience. Attention to detail is lacking, follow up, courtesy and customer service is all sub par. We love our house, we love the home that we have created, its just unfortunate that Pulte didn't deliver on the promises that were made by the first representative. The promise that everything will be great, that punch lists will be addressed before closing, that Pulte takes responsibility and rights the wrongs. Since move in, we have a list of 'what to fix' at the one year mark... we look forward to giving Pulte another chance to make up for the work and are hopeful that with some review and evaluation that they can redeem their good name. Two final notes, it's a red flag when the build manager voluntarily leaves things off the walk through report because then know 'it wouldn't look good on paper for his team'. Lastly, when a Pulte rep called after our first 'so-so' review posted, I called him back and never heard from him again. Pulte has plenty of room for improvement as many of the qualities they are lacking are customer service and project completion, I am just hopeful they can turn it around. We made our first 'work order request today', we will see how it goes! - Review written by Max P., husband to Jennifer P. ... Más

We had many issues throughout the build process, most were due to the incompetence of the sales rep. On several occasions we were told we were getting one product by the sales rep only to find out too late in the build process that those items that heavily swayed our decision to purchase, either 1. Weren't available, or 2. Were only available if we chose a different option or 3. We were mislead on what we were getting. I could go on and on but there's not enough space. We never even got a response from supervisors when we had issues that warranted it. Overall there are so many issues, and now that we have closed the builder has been silent ... Más

Compare to other new construction houses ,Pulty model house is simple design, not special at all. We found out lot of issues when we walked through the house after it built and the whoever person in charge promised he would fix the problem but which he missed multiple area not fixed at all. We are kind of disappointed. The material they used are super cheap. After we moved in not even a month , the paint on the wall started to peel off. All the material they used my professional friend said it’s the cheapest one can not last longer time. About the house pricing ... I can say the seller really good at selling. But the price is not worthy for the location it is. ... Más

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. ... Más

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 contract part with Pulte was very smooth, however don’t forget to read the fine print. They have an exclusion which allows them not to pay the property taxes because they aren’t assessed at the time of the closing. Construction. What a nightmare. The subcontractors made multiple mistakes, the job site was filthy and the construction manager and his supervisor are not on top of the construction. The electric box was mounted within 6 inches of the gas line. Living in the home, so many cold areas, question proper insulation. Corner beads throughout the home. Very disappointed with Pulte and how they handle things. ... Más

Your team is doing a great disservice to your organization with their shoddy workmanship, rude behavior and a seemingly transactional approach. In their haste to complete a home in 90 days they are forgetting that at a bare minimum the home must feel good to the occupants when they move in. Cracks in a new home, uneven floors, waviness in walls and corners to name a few have been sighted and reportd. Your construction crew and customer service seem content to pass the customer on between themselves not taking ownership of issues that have been highlighted to them and addressing them appropriately. ...

Pulte’s contract is one sided, entitling them legally to do whatever they want. They can change your home, lot, site plan, closing date, etc. at will and you can’t do anything about it. They won’t even provide a discount when the changes impact the value of your home. We waited 11 months for our unit which they actually built in a hurry in 6 months. Their quality standards are low and they refer to these as Pulte’s standards”. At the final inspection, 2-5 days prior to closing, they will show you your home dirty with cracks on walls, incomplete paint on walls, extra drilled holes on walls due to incorrect placement of closet wire shelves, paint spots on fixtures and floors, scratched and dirty kitchen cabinets, dirty carpet, etc. You mark every issue you can find in just 2 hours and they tell you they will fix it all before your closing in 2-5 days. Then you find your home, after closing, in a similar shape as when you inspected it a few days earlier. The manager that handles the last part of their process is incompetent. He lacks expertise and customer service skills. He is disrespectful, non-trustworthy and incapable of apologizing. We never received information on how things work in the home, which he was supposed to provide us with. He simply he gave us 2 pamphlets to read. If you complain or request to speak with their management, they make it impossible. Furthermore, if you get to speak with their management, they will side with their incompetent staff and even lie to you. In summary, we did not find a Pulte representative during our buying process that was trustworthy, beginning with the sales person, through their construction managers and their management. Just a couple of months in the home, we are still cleaning, we are finding more cracks surfacing on the walls and poor quality issues. ... Más

Very bad after sale

Nothing to say about this

Not the same quality that’s I was told

We purchased a new townhome built by Pulte Homes in Apex, NC, and unfortunately, our experience has been below expectations. The overall workmanship feels rushed and sloppy — issues we pointed out before closing were either covered up or cosmetically “fixed,” not properly addressed. After closing, getting anything resolved was an uphill battle. The sales and project management teams became unresponsive, and the warranty team hasn’t been much better. The materials used seem subpar: paint quality is poor, floors squeak everywhere, and you can feel the whole building shake when someone walks up the stairs. These are not things you expect in a new-build home at this price point. The lack of accountability and follow‑through after the sale is especially disappointing. Overall, I would rate Pulte’s workmanship and post‑sales service as below average. I wouldn’t strongly recommend them to others, especially if you value attention to detail and responsive customer care. ... Más

I would give less than 1 or zero if that were on the list! It is all cheap materials—looks like a trainee built the house rather than a professional. I can list hundreds of them. I had to get my flooring done with tiles and when the carpet is lifted, i t was rough surface and holes everywhere like they hammered it—-staris too same thing! Very poor job overall!

We purchased a model home and we were very excited. There were things that needed to be fixed and we were told this would be taken care of so we went ahead and closed. We closed in September and most of what needed fixed still needs fixed. The communication is very slow or non-existent. We just want the things fixed so we do not have to think about it and can enjoy our new home. I know what one of Pulte's answers will be it has been to cold to paint our garage door but there have been several days this could have been done. It is very embarrassing and discouraging every time we pull into our driveway, we have to look at the mess of a garage door we have. We are the 1st house in the community so everyone has to look at our house both in our community and from the main road that passes by. The garage door is very noticeable. ... Más

Bad build quality, slow response, to issues, deflection of complaints, denial of issues by people in charge. Non caring to problems encountered.

Very poor craftsmanship overall. The house was not cleaned before closing and there were countless issues, they rushed to complete what they could in the one-hour window while we were at our closing appointment. One-hour was obviously not enough time to do the work that was needed to be done, then they wrote us off once we signed the papers. Countertops were cracked in several places at closing and they won't replace them, they just glued two of the pieces back together but cracks still exist and they will not respond to emails about it. Also there are holes in the drywall, gouges in stairs, etc. And they won't fix any of them. Finishes especially a lot of the trim is damaged in so many places - poorly installed. Just shoddy, cheap work all-around. ... Más
