Parkside at Anthem at Merrill Ranch by Pulte Homes

To all you want to be Pulte homeowners, Hello! and BEWARE!!! From talking to the initial sales person and viewing the models, my wife and I thought that this was going to be a great experience. That was our first mistake. Surprise! The model was not built the same as the plans specified. Sales prices starting in the low $250,000 to $300,000, yeah because outside the four walls and the roof, everything else is extra. Would you like flooring? EXTRA $$ Would you like kitchen counters? EXTRA $$ Kitchen counter tops? EXTRA $$ How about sinks or faucets? EXTRA $$ The cheapest you can hope to walk away is adding another 20% onto your purchase price. So you finally select your perfect house; ready for them to build it. Nope. Sorry, doesnt work that easy. Time for flooring to go in, and suddenly the manufacturer no longer makes that color or in that size a year later and you have to go back into the design center and select a new floor. Second floor chosen, and a month later when they are ready to install, Pulte cant order enough tile, so we have to come in and select a third floor. And the fun keeps going. A move in date for spring turned into end of summer. The worst problem is lack of communication. When you do talk to someone, they refuse to take responsibility or give a straight answer. But the building process pales in comparison. The absolute worst is PULTE MORTGAGE. The person that handled our mortgage had absolutely no problem with making promises that were never kept (my mother said thats called lying), refusing to return our calls, or follow up on details in any semblance of a timely manner. Pulte Mortgage ended up costing us thousands of dollars in extra mortgage fees and monthly payments due to their laziness, and their employee incompetence. Do yourself a favor and find your own outside financing. Life will be easier. So the house was finally finished and we moved in, and they give you a fifty page warranty on the house which basically boils down to : Pulte will come back to your house one time (after you wait an appropriate length of time to fit their schedule of higher priorities since they have your money already) to maybe fix some things that went wrong in the first year. Warning! Dont open your windows and leave them open for any length of time, according to one of Pultes supervisor this causes interior wall cracking of a severe nature because the house has to breath. But every moron should know that windows are to be looked through and never opened (same with any exterior doors), and since its common knowledge its not something that Pulte readily repairs without a fight and negotiation.

Due to my job, in the last 6 years, we have purchased 2 other new builds and by far this is the WORST warranty department we have ever dealt with. We had a leak on our master shower when we moved in, scheduled a service and took a day off from work and no show and no call. A day later, had the plumbing company call me (NOT PULTY) and was notified that pulty never confirmed the appointment with them. After several weeks of calling them so that someone could repair the hole from the ceiling that they had done to repair it, the date was schedule but never got a confirmation call the day before to confirm, so I did not take the day off from work. When I got home, I found out that the painting company had shown up to do the repair. I reached out to pulty and was told that they don't make confirmation calls the day prior to the scheduled day. It would literally take a minute to pick up the phone and confirm an appointment. I have never heard of such a thing. Its been over a month and counting, since my leak has been fix and still have a hole on my ceiling!
