Pulte Homes operations have received the highest ranking for the sixth consecutive year for customer satisfaction in the Tucson market, according to the results announced today for the 2009 J.D. Power and Associates® New-Home Builder Customer Satisfaction Study SM .

Pulte brands, which include Pulte Homes, Del Webb, Centex, Fox & Jacobs and DiVosta, were surveyed in 22 of the 24 markets covered in the 2009 study. Pulte Homes operations garnered 13 top rankings in customer satisfaction, and were ranked No. 2 in three markets and No. 3 in five markets. Pulte Homes operations ranked among the top three builders in 18 of the 22 markets in which they were surveyed for customer satisfaction in 2009—the highest of any homebuilder.

“Customer satisfaction is among

our top goals and we are honored to earn the highest ranking for the sixth consecutive year,” said Shawn Chlarson, president of Pulte Homes’ Tucson division. “We look forward to delivering the highest quality with every home we build and there is no better demonstration to that than our homeowners rating us highest.”


Pulte Homes maintains a comprehensive system for communicating with customers to ensure their questions are answered and their needs are being met throughout the entire sales, construction and delivery process.

For its 2009 New-Home Builder Customer Satisfaction Study SM , J.D. Power and Associates® focused on individuals that purchased a new single-family detached or attached home during 2008. Qualifying builders in each market had to have a minimum of 150 home closings in the prior year and a minimum of 50 returned questionnaires.
