Reseñas de Pulte Homes

The quality of the workmanship and materials are not good at all. A lot of things before closing wasn’t done the right way. Horrible painting job, tile grout wasn’t done properly on the floors and bathrooms also the cleaning inside the house before closing was poorly done.

Both sales and construction people had very likeable personalities. However, sales person was not clear (misleading) on some items, both financial and scheduling. It appears they said what you wanted to hear. Construction manager was not forthright on issues and scheduling. Attention was not paid to details. Some items installed incorrectly or sloppily were overlooked. Some items paid for were just not installed by COE. Construction manager pushed all items which should have been dealt with by COE onto the Customer Care manager. It took Customer Care months to deal with numerous issues, most of which were identified at the walkthrough before COE. ... Más

We love the house, however, the quality of craftsmanship was not what we expected. They were prompt to address the many issues that were noted during the build process.

Our celebration day was a disaster, did not leave us with a great feeling!! Jeremy and Andrew did their best to make it right but still left a bad feeling in pit of my stomach

Upon moving in and thoroughly inspecting the premises, I find cheap cabinet fronts, not true base units, minimal closet shelving, and the cheapest building materials that a contractor can buy. There is only 1 cabinet in the kitchen with pull out shelves and the supplier is contractor only so we can't order pullouts for the remaining cabinets through them nor does Pulte offer any assistance in obtaining them. We paid for crown molding and wainscoting in the hallway, living room and dining room and find this did not include the hall going into the second bedroom and the opening to the hall in the dining room was not included which looks ridiculous. The installed appliances which we did not get to choose or refuse are of the lowest quality. The ac units in the outdoor storage closet vibrate so much it shakes the wall and is extremely noisy in the bedroom. Should have been insulated to buffer. I fail to see how these units are ADA compliant when there is not one automatic open door entrance in the buildings. Needless to say I am a bit disappointed. ... Más

Pulte offers low basic house quality and tries to push for upgrading. Example, they offer only two basic paint colors including white. If you choose the other color (not white), the wall and the ceiling will be painted with the same color. Because it is not common to have the ceiling painted with a color other than white, Pulte push the seller to upgrade or choose only white. Many of my neighbors including myself would prefer to by our house from Lennar if it has a better locations and lots. I believe that Lennar offers better quality houses, with great exterior designs with good prices.

dont want to know how it went

Everything started off wonderfully but after several understandable Covid delays we had to force them to admit that our closing date was being delayed. Everyone is very nice and accommodating throughout the building process but once you get closer to the closing table it becomes very aggressive, threatening, and careless especially if you choose to go with a non-Pulte lender. Upon final walk through there were SEVERAL issues discovered by our hired inspector. Thankfully they addressed most prior to closing but there were still issues found after actually living in the home for two weeks. Overall in the end its a beautiful home and it has majority quality items but you have to stay on them and pay attention if you want to make sure it is done right. ... Más

Couple of things that I would change from having a pulte home.

Overall buying experience was good. Slightly disappointed with quality of materials used.

For the most part the house buying experience was great. The options studio and sales offices were great, and always were responsive in answering our questions and taking care of business. When it came down to the near completion walkthroughs, and following to spec that was laid for the builders and workers, there was a quality issue. Issues were brought up and required several requests to get an answer on. Several times we went through the sales office to get info from our onsite contacts. There were outstanding issues that were never answered, and issues that still may be present in the house. Those will have to be resolved with the warranty company even though the onsite personnel said they would take care of the issues just after we moved our stuff in. I want to give the builder and whole process more stars because it is a great house, and deserves it, but they need to work on t heir quality checking, and responsiveness to customers pre completion and post completion to really earn them. ...

Home is awesome. Matt and Sergio are also PM's to work with.

Process is extremely cumbersome. Pulte takes longer than advertised times for each phase of loan approval. Constantly asking for same documents all the time (pay stubs, bank statements, etc.)

At my closing I pointed out something that needed to be so done my field manager said he would take care of he promised. He just wanted me to sign off... there are stain drippings on my stair case. There are granite on my floors and paint in my floors throughout my home, there is a deep scratch on my cabinets in my bathroom that I noticed as i was leaving out the bathroom as there was a piece of blue tape there but not addressed. Reported it under the 30 day closing warranty... reported everything in the 30 days and it is not 31days and none of it was addressed. There was suppose to be an outlet put in the closet for my media as all media ports were put in there but no outlet... nothing has been addressed. No one cares after you close! I can go on and on... ... Más

Not very responsive to issues.

My home buying experience was filled with a lot of emotions. The overall experience was a blessing thanks to my realtor & the lender. Other than building my home, Pulte Homes contributed nothing to making this a joyful moment. I wouldn’t recommend them due to the poor quality in customer service. All Pulte well s concern with is securing the contract. They put up a great facade! They build beautiful homes but the customer service is horrible!

Just know that the craftsmanship can be better. I've recently found out more and more issues with my home and.

The builder needs encouragement, like any employee. They are very busy and can get side tracked with so many jobs going on at the same time. They are not self starters but if you make needs known sometimes they will work with you. For the most part they cannot custom anything. They have some phenomenal people working for them and that can make any organization great. We had some excellent experiences w/ some staff.

Builders dont pay attention to details Very bad for being a new home

Don't expect what you ordeed

dealing with Pulte Mortage was a PAINFUL experience... would NEVER go through that again. We are extremely disappointed with quality of finish work... drywall and paint work shows little focus to delivering a quality product. Looks very rushed.

I think my over all experience with home part is good but the main thing is the cost of optional items for even very small things. I think when some one is buying new home builder needs to spend default on few things like kitchen backsplash, side/back fences, bathroom soap holders, heated garage door, cabinet knobs, internet cable underground or fan plugin points. These are some basic default things for each home for which cost should be not charge to customer. This thing does not goes well with Pulte being so renowned builder you should consider these option by default in your basic unit. Last the title company, please change it or upgrade your staff. ...

You have to fight or beg for everything that went wrong

I signed the contract for our home in Nov 2020, before the madness of the housing market really took off. I also signed just as Pulte started doing lot bidding which was not a fun experience and something I'll be mindful of if I ever purchase a home again. Our sale consultant Peter was always very responsive, Leslie in the sales office was very helpful during the initial tour of the model homes. The build time came in at around 7 months, during the pandemic, which was faster than we thought it was going to be. We didn't get many pictures from our field manager during the build, but considering how many homes they are managing in AZ during 2020/2021, it was understandable. Our home during the final walkthrough was not completed. One wall had a hole in it, the master bathroom shower glass was not installed and the master bathroom door had to be torn out to fit the glass. The home wasn't cleaned, even a month in we are still cleaning up small paint splatters. Needless to say, the end product is good but the end result didn't leave us with the best impressions of Pulte. We had a 3 week check-in with our field manager, who walked around the home with me to talk about new items we've found and to talk about old items that haven't been resolved. I'm sure Pulte will eventually get around to taking care of them but I think we would have been ok with taking possession of the home a couple of weeks later if that meant the house was dialed in. Overall we did like Pulte's options compared to some of its competitors, it was easy to work with Pulte Mortgage on our VA loan, our sales consulate Peter answered our questions in a timely manner and our field manager Louise is one hardworking guy! ...

A lot of promises are made throughout the process and the end result eventually meets expectations but there are a lot of shortfalls and required followup to get there.
