Centex Homes Reviews

I'm moving date we had a water leak. Carpet how to get pulled up tack strips padding for the car pickup pulled up how to cut out sheetrock in 3 different rooms. And the house is very dirty when we moved in I'm going to make my second payment and stuff has still not all been fixed

The house was dirty after closing Paint drops on floor and caulk and paint on windows Some trim was not painted mud all over driveway and sidewalk Very unprofessional

This was our first new home buying experience. And it was totally ruined from day one. We got the wrong set of keys and couldn’t get into the house. Then there are many issues with workmanship and quality. Been here a month and still not fixed !

No quality or pride in workmanship. Carpet covered in paint and drywall dust. Treated like damaged floors, switches, appliances, counters etc are normal for a new house. No processes whatsoever. Every attempt to fix just made worse because they hire the cheapest most inexperienced labor they can find.

Horrible first time home buying experience. I still have issues that have not been resolved, and have to wait days until someone is willing to fix it. Absolutely not happy.

I wish I could say I got my money’s worth, but I don’t feel that way. There is no team here, just one person trying to get the various workers to do their jobs. There was no opportunity to upgrade anything. The materials used seem cheap, the workmanship is shoddy. Someone came to fix a problem and made another problem that someone else had to come back and fix. There are gouges in the walls that should have been plastered and painted before move in. Fixtures are plastic. Entry level appliances, flooring, etc. I’m disappointed and resigned.

My honest overall experience has not been the best and definitely had room for improvement from day one of my experience. I experienced poor customer service not from all but a few. Believing Centex and Pulte are linked I had a fair share of issue with Pulte as well . As far as the overall build and structure of the home , at a glance all is beautiful but once you start “living” you start to notice a lot unnecessary flaws. I understand some issues with the walls will happen due to the setting of the home but there were many drywall and paint issues, along with chips to bathroom countertop, discolored grout, issue with staircase, ac vent leak less then a week into the home, and above all no insulation in the attic . Yes some issues have been corrected in a timely matter others are still pending. I can only hope the company will hold up their reputation and correct the flaws in the construction in a timely manner. ... More

Door was left unlocked upon moving the first day no keys or lock. Almost a month later I'm still dealing with non finished items from contractor. My salesperson didn't even double check the home prior to me moving in nor gave me neighborhood info until I asked.

The process during the build was fine. The quality of the materials and workmanship is horrendous. I am disappointed to own this quality.

After moving into our home, several issues were noted. One was the realization that the bathroom tub has permanent damage, namely, severe scratches and scuff marks that cannot be remedied by cleaning. Another issue was several scratches on the glass of the bathroom mirror. Those scratches, obviously, cannot be removed by cleaning. Centex has refused to remedy those issues. If not remedied by Centex, those problems, among others, will forever be reminders of the poor construction and lack of accountability by Centex/Pulte. Those problems will be shared with others, especially anyone seeking comments regarding Pulte homes. ... More

For the price paid for the home, the quality,materials, and workmanship is very poor.

Bryan the field manager its been very helpfull and super polite other than that nothing more to say

Terrible.. never have I ever had such a terrible experience buying a house. This is my third one and by far the worst one . No one returns phone call , everyone waits till the last minute to ask for this or that. Talked to a cpl neighbors and basically had the same experience. If it wasn’t for having so much time invested in it, I would have backed out and went else where.

Unnecessary arguments over move in dates, for a new home there was quite a bit of things that needed to be addressed. Outside of the blatant flaws that was all over the home, the first night my decorative piece on the top of the blinds fell on me in my sleep, there was blue masking tape on my ceiling that I can’t reach, no seal for my shower to the floor, my towel rack in my master bathroom wasn’t screwed in completely resulting in damage now in my bathroom from it scraping, the workers around my home have zero respect. The portal potty is right up against my driveway when they could easily move it to a more comfortable area. They also blast their Mexican high pace music in the night, and they have thrown a notable amount of trash into my back yard, the strangest item I had to clean up was a sweaty soul to a shoe. Last comment I would make is after the home wax built, everything was absolutely filthy. Believe it or not, their mortgage arm was significantly worse to deal with. ... More

It began with miscommunication from the initial visit to the office. The staff were amazingly receptive and accommodating. We heard exactly what we were looking for with our expectations and the VA loan we were applying for. The rate was below 5% and the incentive monies were a great perk. We’re were told there would be a smart home package, appliances included, and a promised rate lock with a fair home price. Turns out we were confronted with a rate increase, no smart home package, no flexibility on price due to the failed promised rate lock, no appliances that were promised, and a rediculous amount of in house (Pulte monopoly) closing costs. We backed out of the deal. Centex home was a solid build for the price. We eventually were convinced to come back to the table with a large reduction in home price with flex monies promised. Dealing with Centex/Pulte group is not an experience I would recommend for any first time home buyer. Nothing was ever put into writing. Only false promises to make the deal. We felt like a number and not heard by Pulte/Centex. ... More

We are deeply disappointed with the poor quality of customer service we have experienced since closing on our house. Despite our efforts, no one has been willing to address the issues we have encountered. It has now been 45 days since closing, and several problems remain unresolved. While I prefer not to mention any names here, it is important for the management team to be aware of the individuals responsible for the Winding Brook subdivision in San Antonio, TX. I wish there were a way to share pictures to illustrate our concerns.

I moved in April 15, 2024 hoping to settle in a new home where I wouldn’t have to worry about any issues first month of moving in noticed that water was leaking from AC furnace drain pipe and had home warranty work done well that issue was resolved. I was then having issues with my AC not cooling my house. This also was happening on the first month. I’m going onto the five months now in this new home and my AC still hasn’t been fixed temperatures get up to 80° and we’re talking about it would be seven in the afternoon and I come home to a 80° house or also my kids have to suffer being in a house that is warm so my experiences have been awful bad and the AC company that’s in charge of warranty work hasn’t been able to resolve this issue. They all come out and look at it and don’t fix anything. Furnace is sweating baseboard. It sits on accumulating mold I just don’t know how long it takes to resolve an issue with the AC and the high humidity that accumulates in the house in the attic So my experience has been real awful that at this point, I don’t feel comfortable here anymore. I’ve gotten to the point where I just want to sell this house and look for a different builder. I will never buy a centex home ever again. ... More

Do you want a new home with blocked showers and bath tubs, get your home flooded on Day 1, with no accountability from builders, then go for Centex Homes. Plus, good luck dealing with rude and unprofessional regional manager Corey G for warranty issues in phoenix area. Worst, repairs didn’t get authorized and now on my own to get things fixed. It’s been one month since purchase and has been an absolute nightmare for me. Make a wise choice and Hope you don’t have to go through the same.

the interior drainage part of the HVAC unit was never installed. therefore every time the AC would run the water from the AC was collecting in the inside AC closet. sitting water for months caused a major gnat/fly issue and a mold problem. currently still trying to get the builder to assist with this issue since this happened due to a lack of checks and balances.

When I first looked at the Centex Cinco Lakes neighborhood I noticed the land scaping was terrible, but I figured it was just the lawn not that important. Wrong. When I did my final walk through the builder Mark told me they'd have the grass in by closing or a couple of days after. It took almost a month of weekly/daily calls with a clay mud yard, white carpet, and two dogs. If I didn't work from home the number of times I'd been misled to think they were coming tomorrow would have cost me my job if I'd had to take off work. On top of that the irrigation system never seemed to stop having leaks. It also started raining and the ground soil was being washed away to the point I had a giant sink hole next to my driveway. After a month grass has finally been put in but now it's lumpy and uneven and collecting mosquitoes in wet spots as the neighbors irrigation flows straight through my yard and the builder is not fixing it because landscaping is not covered under their warranty even though I wouldn't have this issue if they had not waited so long to put in grass and had properly graded the yard. Do not recommend Centex as a builder and the mortgage company was also terrible. They behave as if they are doing you a favor offering you their over priced services and have no customer service or initiative. ... More

Sales Rep Rob not reliable at all Only contacts you when something is needed Main manager Ian, even worst at addressing customer needs. They treat home owners as if they are dumb and have no idea how things work and Zero appreciation. Homes not built with quality and many issues with the home.

Not the right home if you are fairly meticulous and have a high level of attention to detail. The standards of finish on these homes are unfortunately low, including the final cleaning and especially the hasty caulking throughout. Having not been able to attend the final walkthrough, I was very regretful of my purchase when I did see the home.

The poor and lack of communication on what is expected and delivered are to different things. We thought we were getting certain things that wasn't shown but turned out it wasn't even possible. Poor communication with issues doing the building process and many times I had to verify the things that were brought up. If we hadn't stayed on top of things we would have not gotten most of our items correct or right. From door handles, faucets, tiles in bathrooms, pendants and a host of other issues. I would not recommend to any friends or family to buy / build a home with your company period.

The experience was horrible. You are trapped using their contractors and companies for everything. Zero freedom to choose anything different. The divisions were unable to answer questions, pointed fingers at each other for issues and things that went wrong.

Forced closing prior to home being fully built. Builder unwilling to postpone closing buy two days so that I could have an inspection done on a home which was built, instead had to do inspection on home with no gas lines, holes in stucco, unfinished bathroom, etc.. Will never do business with Pulte or Centex again
