Pulte Homes - Chicago Office

Garbage quality homes numerous warranty issues. Rush to close, no focus on quality. Won't buy Pulte again.

Sweet location for a small subdivision tucked away in an upscale neighborhood. Perfect home type and layout for our lifestyle. Thats the location. Now the review on the actual home, its quality and Pulte Builders. BUYER BEWARE!!! Pulte Builders cut corners big time and the buyer is stuck. Once you are in the home you never hear from them again. I was shocked that not only did my kitchen cabinet doors have the soft-close feature, the cabinets are cardboard. I upgraded the kitchen twice I explained the cabinets were a top priority in my home! I have redone three kitchens. Its expensive and I wanted to make sure the cabinets were high quality. I was more than willing to spend the money upfront on cabinets so they looked great and last. Many of the doors are warped. Plus, right after I moved in I went to open a drawer and it fell off. Countertop is chipped. The painting is terrible. They sealed in all the dirt and I am left with rough textured trim, walls and ceilings. I didnt want a fixer upper. I wanted to avoid having to spend $$$$$$ to redo the kitchen, bathrooms, repair all the trim and walls so they can be repainted or replaced. Plus, all the additional expenses a new home needs. UPDATE: I still have not heard from Pulte. I also have standing water against my foundation. Neither Pulte nor the building and code department of Wheaton will accept responsibility. The county certainly expects my check for the outrageous taxes I pay to live here. UPDATE II: The new code says there must be fresh air intake. Pulte's fresh air is a hole 10 inches from the dirt, coming into your home, unfiltered and clogging your furnace. The high humidity had caused a stench of standing water coming through the vents, the inside of the furnace has condensation, and the coils froze. I woke up to a puddle of water under the furnace. Pulte is not responsible, according to them. They only give a 2 year warranty. It keeps getting better. And, the city of Wheaton could care less. Service: Luxury home building

Thank goodness we didn't build with them... but we are getting a first hand view of how horrible their construction is!  Pulte moved into our well established semi custom home neighborhood and purchased the remainder empty lots.  And their builds are ugly!!! Here are my observations-No care for your home. They throw trash (Ie fast food bags, cups, water bottles) into their lots that will be filled with dirt or poured over with cement (apparently too much work to go to the dumpster).  They will put your roof shingles up in the snow (can't imagine locking moisture under the shingles is a good thing); same with framing your house - rain, sleet, snow... all wood exposed no tarps.  Witnessed them drink on the job.  List goes on and on.  Definitely brought down the quality of our neighborhood. Buyer beware ... they are full of themselves now with their cost as if they are custom.  Quality is crap!!!
