We purchased a new construction home with Pulte, which is marketed as energy-efficient, and have been disappointed with both build quality and warranty handling.
Electrical plan transparency
During the build, the electrical layout showed a 220V outlet behind the stove and it was not marked as optional. At closing, the construction manager also stated that both gas and electric connections were available. After closing, we discovered the outlet was never installed.
The builder later claimed that internal construction specifications — which are not provided to homeowners — override the plans shared during the build, even though the contract does not state this. The issue was classified as “non-warrantable” and deferred to the 11-month checkpoint. The lack of transparency and shifting explanations were very frustrating. Future buyers should get written confirmation of all electrical features before closing.
Energy efficiency concerns and cold wall temperatures
Pulte promotes these homes as energy-efficient, yet during cold weather (72°F inside and around 27°F outside), thermal camera measurements showed exterior wall corners with surface temperatures between 45°F and 55°F, indicating likely insulation or air-sealing defects.
We provided thermal images and requested inspection while cold conditions allow proper diagnosis. Instead, the builder deferred review to a later checkpoint, missing the opportunity to verify the problem when it’s most evident. This is disappointing for a brand-new home.
Moisture issue under countertop from dishwasher
We also experience moisture buildup under the countertop after dishwasher cycles. Whirlpool service confirmed there are no leaks and stated the issue is due to improper installation and lack of vapor protection. Despite being under builder warranty, we were told this is “by design” and that we should fix it ourselves.
Overall, the pattern has been deflecting responsibility rather than addressing construction issues. This is not the quality or warranty support we expected from a major builder.

We had a great experience at Huxley community by Pulte homes. Special thanks & shout out to the sales consultant Billy McDaniel and the construction manager Chris Madren who were very professional, responsive and made the journey to closing very smooth. The community is peaceful and well organized. We are very satisfied with our new home.

Had a great home-buying experience with Pulte, largely thanks to Billy. He did an excellent job keeping us informed every step of the way, clearly explaining timelines, options, and next steps. Super responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

Love seeing the community continue to grow. The amenities will be so nice when they’re all said and done. The building manager was very friendly and took everything into consideration when closing. The neighborhood is right next to Beaver Creek and Sweetwater which is growing like crazy!! Highly recommend visiting Huxley’s office and speak to Delonte. So far it’s been a great experience and look forward to many years here.
