We Purchased our Pulte home in the ***************** located in *********** Arizona December of 2021. Since then we have had several issues that have not been fixed after notifying Pulte of the issues either by phone, text, email or through there home owner repair portal. There warranty is for one year and we have been diligent as issues arise to try and get them fixed. June of this year we experience a shower leak in the master bathroom in which the water was seeping behind the tile and on to the floor due to the grout and tile work being sub par (noted at closing). We stopped using the shower hoping for at least some resolution through the various avenues stated above. In early September a tiler (contractor) was sent out to fix the leak but he said this is a much bigger problem than was stated to him and that he would not be able to fix it. And so this is where we still sit waiting to use our master bath shower to be fixed. We are very frustrated because of Pulte's inability to competently handle the issue and fix it. There is no communication from Pulte at all about the repair after many repeated attempts. After conversing with the contractor sent to fix the shower is seems the shower may need to be retiled and grouted since water has compromised the seal. Please Help us resolve this.Thank you ***************************Business Response

I closed on my new Pulte home in February 2021. The home came with a 5 year water intrusion warranty. On Tuesday September 27, 2022 at 5pm, I noticed water leaking in my 2nd floor bathroom ceiling. I immediately tried calling Pulte's southwest warranty number, but a voicemail said that they closed at 2pm due to impending Hurricane ***. I sent an email that is time stamped 5:49pm, informing Pulte Warranty of the leak. Hurricane *** hit ***************** ******* (90 miles south of my home) on Wednesday September 28, 2020 at approximately 3:15pm. I finally got a response about a week later to multiple emails that I sent. Basically, Pulte is saying that my leak was caused by "an act of God", which wouldn't be covered under warranty. They implored me to make an insurance claim. My insurance company is informing me that this is NOT a hurricane claim because the leak occurred the day before the hurricane. I believe that Pulte Warranty is attempting to wash their hands of my damage, trying to group me in with multiple claims they are getting for hurricane damage. I intentionally sent my email as soon as I saw the damage, establishing a timeline that shows the damage was not related to the hurricane. Basic research on the internet will show that the wind speed on that day and time was 5mph.Business Response

We met with the sales rep ************************* in ***********, ** to purchase a home in late Sept. We told him our concerns with the interest rates. ******, in an email on 9/28/22 assured us "we will refund you back your 24K if we cannot qualify you at that rate and you decide to cancel then." again, this is a quote from ******. We spoke with two people from their finance team, *** and *****. One of them said instead of the $15K we would receive to buy down the interest rate, they would give us $21K. We made a deposit of $24.5K on 9/30/22 relying on ******'s and the finance team's statement to be true. A week later when it came down to apply the money and lock in the rate, they said we could only to lock in at ****%. She then said she was mistaken and it would NOT be ****% either. At that time my wife asked to cancel the contract due to not being able to meet the agreed upon conditions. ****** was asked no less than three times to do so. ****** also stated he "never mentioned" ****% to my wife. However, one can see in the att. email, he stated ****% and they would honor the $21K. However the finance team stated they cannot honor the $21K or ****%. Even if the fed rate is lower or what Pulte uses, based on what the finance team explained to us, the extra $6K can't be applied to the rate. My wife then sent an email to the finance company to no longer process our application. Days after she sent the cancellation request to them we were notified that they have finished processing the loan. We were confused by them ignoring the cancellation request. These misrepresentations do not lead us to believe it would be in our best interest to continue with Pulte. We feel Pulte will make another promise they have no intention of honoring and switch it to a lesser offer that they again, have no intention of honoring. Lastly a condition was placed for our approval that I find similar employment in OH which I am not able to obtain. We would like the 24.5K. Promissory Est.Business Response

I closed on my home in April of 2022. There were some issues (the construction manager noted them in the walk through and promised they would be repaired). One of the major issues included a damaged cabinet, he told me they were behind on cabinet supplies but to be patient and it should be addressed in a few months. 6 months later I'm still getting the same response and no actionable follow-**** They are obviously able to get new cabinets if they can continue to build and complete new homes so I don't believe they actually want to fix my issue. To further emphasize, the cabinet was broken before I even took ownership of the home and not something caused by the occupant (me).I have another issue with a cracked piece of granite. They sent out the granite installers and they cleaned it up / made it look a little nicer but told me they wouldn't be able to replace it. This was also broken prior to closing on the home and should be covered under Pulte warranty. The warranty manager keeps telling me he'll send someone out, but never follows up on quality or does anything about lack of quality, so it's just an empty promise in the end with no intent to actually fix anything.Business Response

We spoke with the customer and explained the challenges we are having with the cabinets and what our process is for tracking parts. I assured him it hasnt been forgotten and there is an open ticket in our system. I told him I would reach out to the cabinet company to get him the latest update but Im waiting to hear back from Masterbrand. As soon as we can get the material the appointment will be scheduled and all work completed quickly.Customer Answer

This has been the promise and same message since April, 2022. It has been 6 months and no progress has been made. They are building new homes so they are obviously receiving cabinet supplies, the warranty just doesn't seem to be a priority for them. Granite issues were discussed over the phone but not acknowledged in this response. I will provide more information once available.Business Response

On June 22 we signed to close on our home with PULTE in ****, ** after months of brewing dragged through poor customer service and a mortgage ********************** that struggled to keep track of our important financial documents causing us to close later than we expected and forcing us to close while I was out of the country. Here we are 3 months later and PULTE is still non-responsive, unhelpful, and lacking in accountability. In July we had our 30 day walkthrough with our construction manager ****. We walked him through each issue including damaged baseboards when we moved in, a broken window when we moved in, a broken vanity in the master bathroom, and numerous paint issues throughout the house. Some of these things were supposed to be fixed before we moved in but weren't. PULTE has not responded to our numerous attempts to contact them about this oversight and we still have a busted window, paint issues everywhere, and a damaged vanity, not to mention a missing mud bench that was promised to us by ****(the manager) before our construction was completed. I'm asking for resolution to get our house to (at least) the standard that PULTE guaranteed us it would be at when we moved in but preferably for them to keep their word and take care of the issues. It's been 2 months of no contact at all about our remaining problems and having to chase down a staff member at the construction trailer or the office and getting a "we will reach out to you" response. PULTE please take responsibility for undermining your promise to your customers and dropping the ball on providing care.Business Response

I bought a condo in March 2021 and it is still under warranty. My utility bills have been consistently higher than my neighbors and the discrepancy seems to be increasing. I have discussed this with my utility company, ****************** on several occasions and have spoken to an individual who is their specialist in analyzing bills. He concurred that my bill appears to be unusually high and is increasing and that the problem was almost assuredly coming from the heat/AC system. I have again compared my bill with 5 neighbors who all have units larger than my own. Three of these units are occupied by 2 people who it could be assumed consume more power according to my utility company. I live alone. Pulte has been contacted on numerous occasions, the first being an email set in July of this year. I have sent several in the past few weeks. I have repeatedly requested that they evaluate the problem under warranty. I have also contacted the Heating/AC company that performs there warranty work. They recommended that I try to discuss having the issue evaluated under warranty and that I speak to their representative in person. I followed up with that suggestion immediately and got voice mail indicating that no messages were being accepted. Please help me have Pulte honor their commitment to address this problem under warranty. Thank youBusiness Response

We closed on our Pulte home in April of 2021 in ****** Pointe. Throughout the building process we began to notice sub par work being done by the builder and sub contractors. I have 1.5 years of email documentation to show for it. I mention this to show the track record of issues with builder that most of our neighborhood would agree they faced similar issues. Over the summer we had our 1 year walk through where we were able to list issues with him that needed repair. Some of these have been completed. However, our patio door was replaced due to it being installed with the corners busted off. We found that Pulte had stuffed the corners with paper towel and caulked over it in order to close our house. During replacement the interior trim had to be removed causing damage to our drywall and trim. I emailed *** the customer service rep regarding this so he was aware 2 weeks ago. To date he has not emailed back or responded to my emails. The exterior trim was also to be replaced due to its condition is still pending. The trim piece on new patio door cut too short and can see insulation of house. The easement beside my home is full of rocks, weeds and carries onto my property. The eroding hill is impossible to safely mow. The drainage area around my house is full of algae and weeds and stagnant water. When they have attempted to fix it has ended ** in worse condition then before and they have given up. Numerous emails with *************************** for documentation. We have had issues with the *** appliances, 240 amp plug fried, water leaks from upstairs bath valves, and many more all documented. Due to this I am also asking for an extended warranty period to 2 years be done due the frequency of problems. I have found that in order to get the things done this far its taken the threatening of filing complaints to get them to respond.Business Response

On your web site, I see that Pulte has a "Pattern of Complaint: According to information in BBB files, Pulte Homes has a pattern of complaint alleging repair issues." It also says that "BBB will monitor this company's efforts, and this aspect of the Business Profile will be updated once additional information becomes available."I wish I saw this before purchasing a Pulte home.My house closed on May 26, and it has been a challenge to get the most simple repair fixed. It took 3 months to just to get a light switch fixed. When you talk to them about a repair, it's always the same story. The delays are due to supply and manpower issues. Can they give you a date when it will be fixed by? Nope. If they can't fix it in a reasonable time, will they reimburse you if you fix it yourself? Nope. They just warn you that fixing it yourself will void the warranty. Based on the 5 month delay in completing our home (costing us thousands in additional interest), they clearly sell more homes than they have people to build and support. One of the more annoying problems is the alarm prewire. Their electric subcontractor installed it such that half of the sensors were unusable, requiring me to spend money on wireless sensors. Would Pulte provide a refund? Of course not. They said the electric subcontractor has the right to fix or refund. After a multitude of phone calls, they haven't done either. And I'm not sure how to fix a prewire after the house is built. All I'm asking is for Pulte to honor their warranty in a timely fashion, and provide a refund for the prewire not done correctly. Also, I would like for the BBB to reconsider the rating of this company. No company that treats its customers this poorly deserves anything other than an F.Any progress I've made is after repeated followups. They seem to only work on the basis of who complains the most. Their response to you said they will address the issues with service. That was clearly a lie.Business Response
