Our home was built in 2003 and have had next to no problems. Recently the sewage line backed up into the unfinished basement. $609.00 later the plumber finds that the basement roughin was not installed properly. The water flows away from the sewer line. This has existed from the time it was built and the concrete poured. Additionally the water flowed away from the sump pump. Pulte refusese to repair it stating the warranty has expired. It makes no difference it took nearly 8 years to find the problem because it took that long for the sewage to back up and plug the line. The estimated cost of repairs is $11, 000.00. I used to be a big Pulte fan but now I will tell everyone do not buy Pulte. They do not stand by their work.

We bought a new Pulte Home thirteen years ago and this house is falling down around us! We have a two story home and every floor upstairs is creaking when you walk on them. The staircase baseboard and moulding is pulling away from the walls, the banister is lose and leaning, the foundation of the kitchen floor cracked and ruined the twenty five hundred dollar tiled floor we had installed. There are nail heads popping through the walls and the sheet wall is a mess.
We had to have all the wood on our front porch replaced six years ago, due to rot.
WE ARE ANGRY! SHAME ON YOU!
Do we not have any recourse here? Houses are suppose to last longer than thirteen years!

There have been various issues with my Pulte money-pit. When I first bought my house 5 years ago, during the walk through I had to fight for them to fix siding which was cracked and warped. As other people have stated, my windows have condensation buildup, especially in the bathroom. As others again, the whole house is drafty where we require blankets to just to sit around. Even with additional caulking and weatherstripping the heat just goes from my house. Then when the window breaks there is no one to fix the problem, no number to call, no one calls back from the construction number they provided. I have a bad garage door where water settles in my garage if it rains or I turn my sprinklers on, again they could not fix the garage door thought it was a problem I stated on the walk through. Last winter, I had SNOW in my attic. A section of outside wall had a huge hole and icing formed leaving water spots throughout my ceiling.
As stated by others, I will NEVER buy another Pulte home and will tell others NEVER to buy Pulte since the quality is not up to standard. If I knew about all of the problems Pulte had before I bought this house, I would have definitely ran away. This is a poor company no matter what anyone says, I am ashamed to live here and even more ashamed I have to raise a child in this house.

The warranty Department is a joke. They are rude and depending on who you talk to have no idea what constitutes and emergency and what does not!! This morning I called them to have our A/C in repaired because it is not working -- we have only been in our home since Jan/Feb 2010.
On another note, the HOA fees that we pay ($249) are worthless. We have dead grass, gates that are constantly open or broke, a gym that is not conducive to people who work late hours (the place closes at 9 p.m.), I could go on.

So many of our neighbors would sell immediately if they could including us. Don't move/buy in a Pulte community!!! They are terrible.

Do not buy a Pulte Home!
My new wife and I bought a new Pulte home before it was completely built in December of 2008. They did not build the house right. I don't know much about building homes that is why I paid hard earned money to purchase this house and now we have the following problems: The attached the truss to the frame of the building which caused plenty of problems. As the truss lifted and moved (as it should) it brought the rest of the house up and down which lifted the sheet rock walls off the ground and cause "nail pops" which is when the nails poke through your sheet rock ceiling. Also, as the truss lifted the columns in our kitchen broke free from the ceiling leaving gaps between the tops of the columns and the sheet rock ceiling. So the house is pretty much coming apart at the seams.

Here is the kicker. There are about a dozen homes on my block that I know of that have the exact same problems and worse. We would like to put a class action suit on them or take them to court individually. These are all things you do not want to think about or deal with when you pay a huge down payment on a house like this and have a mortgage to work for and pay for each month. Not to mention if the house is going to fall on top of us as we sleep.

Yes, Pulte came in and "fixed" the issues, but two months later the same problems are occurring. Not to mention, none of their contractors speak English and I am afraid to ask for their green cards. Now I get referred to the Pulte website to request service issues, don’t speak to a person and I can't get my representative to call me back.

Long story short: Do not buy a Pulte home. They will suck you in with financing and smiles on the upfront. But on the back side of the experience, no smiles, no phone calls and a home that is shaky at best - Brand New!
