Pulte Homes

We completed our final walkthrough six months ago. Unfortunately, we did not notice that there was a portion of the exterior that they did not paint. That's now our problem. They refuse to deal with this. I could have it painted for $200 or $300 but I decided to contact my attorney instead. They should be ashamed.

The initial experience seemed too good to be true...that should have been my first clue. They promise the moon and the stars. The problem is, they do not follow through with their finished product. I have had issues with landscaping and in the interior of my home which they make a million excuses for, or ignore emails until warranty runs out then feed you the crap "it's no longer covered". Have had a hole in my yard for over a year. They did not plant the trees, which are dead, that they placed in proposal to our County and are now say too bad, so sad. Much of the vegetation in community is dead or dying. The streets are torn up by the large trucks. The drainage on every lot has been an issue from day one. The HOA is useless. Do not buy from Pulte, you'll regret it in the end.

Pulte Homes/Centex home came with dead Palm trees. Pulte/Centex Homes has terrible customer service. Sold me 2 dead palm trees with my home. They refuse to replace the dead palm trees, knowing there was an issue with other property owners in the same community.

I was under contract with Pulte in June 2020 to buy one of their Germantown, MD properties. They lured me into a contract by offering $10,000 in closing credits if I used their lender, Pulte Mortgage. This incentive is what most buyers need to offset the 5% closing costs required for new builds in Maryland. When your closing costs are $27,000, you can see what I mean. The problem is that their contracts are structured such that by the time you find out that their loan products have terrible rates/terms, it's too late to back out of the contract and get your earnest money deposit back.

In the 4 years I have lived here we have gone through 4 different property managers. There is zero enforcement of the Docs. No road maintenance, weeds everywhere, dead plants in mulch beds, dead trees on property, and sidewalk and driveway cracks everywhere. Just last week the Board decided it was ok to allow a motorhome to park at the clubhouse when the rules do not allow it and it was the view for some homeowners for two weeks. Trimming of hedges and plants either too little or butchered when done. Clubhouse is used by neighbors from other communities without any enforcement.

Pulte doesn’t care about the neighborhoods they build in. For the past month they have started before 8:00am on Saturday. This morning it was before 7:00. They say they will do something about it but they never do. They don’t clean the streets when they are done too. Our neighborhood looks dirty as hell thanks to them. I can only imagine how bad their quality of homes are.

This builder is the worst I can ever imagine. Would not recommend to friends or family members. Extremely, disappointed with the customer care response. It's only been 3 years since I've moved into home, built from ground up. One year warranty expired and the issues were addressed. However, certain fixtures in the home after that one year started to fall apart, and reaching out to Pulte was absolutely useless.

The plumbing in our 8 year home has been terrible. Leaks behind the walls have been numerous, expensive and very frustrating. Pulte should make the plumbing warranties for 10 years at least. There are numerous homes in our development with the same problems. Just ask owners in The Plantation Fort Myers Fl. and they will give you plenty of accounts of neighbors with big problems.

I am second owner of this house that was built in 2017. Previous owner occupied only for 5 months after job transfer and I moved in mid Aug. 2019. So practically it was brand new house. However, with total of 14 months of usage, top part of concrete is already peeling off and it is worsening as day goes by. I absolutely had no idea that builders warranty would be still effective until a months ago or so. I only can wish I knew that. Anyway, I searched up internet and easily found that the cause of concrete scaling is from poor workmanship. Concrete scaling happens when it was poorly cured with water getting freeze and defrost during cold month and let me stress that I live in Fort Mill, SC. So winter months are not as cold as up north.

Wish I would have never purchased my home in Santa Fe NM. I cannot believe the homes pass "Inspection". They will not fix anything properly or timely. They will enforce the Arbitration clause and force you through there own arbitrator "PWC". They will hide like the cockroaches they are when you shine any light on the poor construction by their "sublets" that they will sue later for breach of contract while you get a unliveable home. Pulte has leverage on all there sublets and their insurance companies - they will make more money suing their own sublets then they will ever spend to fix your trash home. Stay away! Stay away in Santa Fe.
