home has a lot of issues!! pillar in front of the house is over the cement step - almost 3 inches.. they said that the cement foundation and the pillar was designed like that. so when i asked since both things are designed like that, did they design it to be aesthetically ugly??they said that it is structurally sound so they are not fixing it!! my front walkway is 32 inches above ground without railing! per code any structure above 30 inches requires railings. i guess this is how they build their houses! - broken bones waiting to happen incomplete ethernet and cable wiring! they told me att will take care of it. sales guy didnt lie! but he failed to mention i have to pay $150! it does not take much for the guy installing to put in the end connectors! and pulte wants me to pay $150 more after closing? it probably doesnt cost them anything to have the guy install/finish the job! - he then tells me "thats how they build their houses!" not acceptable! - field manager says thats how it is in their contract. so you designed your contract for people to pay more after closing? for what? for pulte to save a few dollars? so that your contractor friends can make money out of us after closing? electrical plugs / switches are out of place!! 1. there is no plug in the middle of the living room and master bedroom where the tv / ethernet outlet is positioned! 2. outlet not in middle in the game room beside the tv / ethernet outlet is positioned! 3. switches are not consistent to which the ceiling fan and light turns on - they quote an NEC code that they need to have an outlet every 12 feet. he confirmed that there is no minimum between outlets. when i confronted him, he says "we only paid for so much outlets" - so if you paid for x amount then place them properly!!! - now i have to pay $2000 to fix this electrical problems!!! cracks / chips on the tile floor! gaps in the cabinets! missing insulation in the attic. leaking a/c system blowing into attic!! leaking faucets!!! and of course i wasnt paying attention coz i assumed pulte BUILT A QUALITY HOME... WRONG!!! apparently water sat there for a while that the wood is now warped!! crack in the cement in the walk/path in front of my house!! they said to tell the city!... when asked again, they said warranty will fix it after it meets a certain criteria. but this was there before closing! it should be perfect before i close on the house! poor quality and workmanship! poor paint quality on the walls. the wood on the outside pillar was also painted white and i can see through it like a sheer curtain!!! im sure they painted the inside the same way!! - i asked them about the poorly painted pillar outside, they said it needed repainting... so you do admit its poorly painted! the whole house is probably too! he also said a little water will wipe the paint off. that not paint then.. thats mud/putty or watered down paint.. he even mentioned that the VP of pulte loves this painter that hes contracted to paint all the houses! probably because of cost - this guy probably charged the cheapest! i wonder why... beware!!! poor paint quality in your homes!!!! poor landscaping!! water pooling during heavy rains and ground is squishy!! stain on driveway!! missing soffits and their excuse is a "new system" that they are using... then they added vents in the roof! but if i didnt say anything they would not have done anything about it! also fridge has no wheel lock. every time i open it it slides!!! they said that it didnt come with one but something that needs to be purchased! AND PULTE IS NOT PAYING FOR IT!! he said if it helps, he will buy it himself!! REALLY?? PULTE MAKING YOUR STAFF PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKES?? i also complained about the math in closing because it didnt match! then they later sent us a rebate!! SO IF I DIDNT QUESTION IT SOMEONE WOULD HAVE POCKETTED IT? is this pulte's quality? building low quality home! training your staff to say half-truths! staff POCKETING MONEY!! and making your employees pay out of their own pocket? i guess thats how pulte build their homes. read more

Warning to Georgetown Homebuyers: Pulte Inc. Leaves Carlson Place Residents Stranded ​As a resident of the Carlson Place community in Georgetown, Texas, I am writing this to warn potential buyers about the severe lack of post-sale accountability from Pulte Inc. Our neighborhood amenity center pool--a core feature we were promised when buying here--must be completely torn out and demolished due to "concrete cancer" (alkali-silica reaction). Because of recent rainfall, the site currently holds stagnant standing water, creating an active health and safety risk for our families. ​Pulte's response to this major structural disaster has been a masterclass in corporate deflection. They claim zero responsibility, shifting the blame entirely onto a defunct, out-of-business concrete subcontractor that they originally selected and employed. By washing their hands of the issue, Pulte is forcing Carlson Place families to pay thousands of dollars in special assessments to fix a structural asset that should have been built correctly from day one. ​The consequences of Pulte's refusal to honor their development are devastating. Financially, it hurts our property values and hurts resale appeal. Emotionally, it deprives our children of their summer. Instead of making memories and enjoying their childhood milestones swimming with friends, our kids are staring at a hazardous construction failure. ​Pulte Inc. builds neighborhoods, collects the profits, and abdicates all responsibility when their vetted choices fail. A company is defined by how it handles problems, and Pulte has chosen to completely abandon the homeowners who trusted them. Do your research and think twice before buying a home from a builder that passes its liabilities onto its customers. read more
