Centex Homes Reviews

Pulte Did not follow through on agreement for 30 day follow up Inspection. 4 months after my home closing I am still left with broken door that would not open Even if a fire broke out and windows that I can not see out of.

not happy

Very disappointed! We bought the house and had it built while living in a different state. Once we made it to the house, we were let down by the quality of the work/materials and the poor attention to detail. We paid for upgrades (written in the contract) and they were not done because they didn’t pay enough attention to the contract. Those issues were fixed once we moved in to the house but we are still waiting for the cosmetic issues to be addressed. The only person that DID DO an amazing job was the salesperson.

If you are reading this, please move on... trust me you will thank me later. Centex/Pulte homes are very poorly made and require a lot of maintenance calls to fix things that are days to weeks old. They employ "anyone that can show up that day" - direct quote, to the home site. Purchases 6 weeks ago, after initial 18 things on the closing punch list (pretty standard) I have had sent 38 emails trying to fix the new 26 items. The trades that come bye talk down to the homeowner as if they do not know anything. Very poor communication, poor quality workmanship and poor material used. The default whit most of this is "that's why you have a X-year warranty"... So when everything breaks down they suggest you just take it up with the warranty people, instead of making sure things are right or well made as to avoid the warranty people. The neighbors on either side of me are experiencing the same sorts of issues so I know I am not an outlier. Look else ware for piece of mind and less aggravation.! ... More

The company Centex-Pulte have not prioritizing the current owner on the sub division East Lake Preserve we poor customer service in accordance with their own contract they have felt to demonstrate trust among the customers who all ready purchase a house they only worry to continue their sell - money and revenue with house warranty attendance. The company has not live by their own standards and mission of customer service went warranty of the house come in place.

Not very happy with the total experience. Problems with Pulte mortgage. Builder cancels framing walkthrough 10 minutes before schedule. Nobody could tell me why. Craftsmanship subpar. One month in, sewer backed up, floor cracked, sprinkler pipe burst, surround sound speaker wire not connected, can lights not centered in gathering space, $4,000 sod looks terrible. Disappointed with all the problems in this new home. I don’t recommend Centex

We are disappointed with the entire process other than dealing with our construction manager.

After moving we notice a lot of shady work and where the builders cut corner. Our plumbing was done wrong which caused a leak, water heater was never turning on, floors are buckling, paint was complete trash, and that’s just the short list of problems

Constant electrical trips of water heater. Plumbing mixed up with outside faucet and kitchen sink. Grass in front yard sunk after rain.

It take them time to get a response back and multiple attempts to reach them.

My rental home was in better condition than what I thought would be a new home. My wife says the habitat for humanity home she grew up in didn't have as many errors. I don't know whether to trust any repairs would be more than just patch work rather than actually correcting the building errors and lack of craftsmanship. I regret buying a Centex home I regret trusting Centex with building my home. I don't know whether to just walk away from this home it's saddening to know Centex builders have such a low moral standard when building homes. I've called the building manager several times with no answer. I would really like a representative of Centex corporate to see the obvious errors. Walls aren't straight I know cause I checked the most obvious one with a leveler the top of the wall is level where the obvious lower part is pulling forward the leveler verified this. Their in a gap between the granite counter top and the lower kitchen shelves it's obvious the same issue is present in the master bathroom but they used a nail gun to try and attach the restroom lower cabinet to the wall then they used seal to fill in the gap running the length of the master sink they even left a nail popping out the side of the lower restroom cabinet with no attempt to remove it it's just popping out. Shady and extremely poor craftsmanship all the way around my house. To many errors to list I'm extremely disappointed and looking into other options to abandon this house. Biggest mistake of my life was choosing a Centex home. ... More

A lot of cracks and imperfections, hire people that are proud of there work not just throws stuff together.

One month in and not even settled and we discover a water leak caused by builder that was present prior to closing and not discovered. Extensive water and mold damage. Complete rebuild of kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Can’t even use kitchen for over 3 weeks. Not all satisfied or happy with the fact that we paid good money for a new home and now will be left with a second rate repaired build! Seeking legal counsel.

Every single day I find something new that's wrong with this house. I truly wish I never would of bought a home from Centex.

I am very disappointed with Centex workmanship. I am having leaking window problems, and A/C issues that hasn’t been rectified. They alway seem to put my issues off, especially the windows and A/C.

We had nothing but issues with our build out. Our manager was more like a 50’s salesman than a manager. I would not recommend that anyone build with Centex or Pulte homes.

God, where do I start. Our field Manager was useless, the house has major issues, centex/pulte still hasnt landscaped, and gives a million excuses why they are delayed, and no one returns calls.

Dust everywhere, loud noises from construction workers, broken stuff inside the house, workmanship is below average! Nails all in the road.

Make sure to read your easement clause

My experience has been horrible and it's still horrible. I'm still living in a unfinished house with dented appliances creeping floors & no hot water. Within the last month I had to take off work 6 times for them to come fix (quote unquote) things that should have already been done. I have no hot water still!!! I have called 3 times prior for them to fix this! Also I had no air but I finally did get air! Drywall is not complete paint is not complete the items I marked at the final walk through to be fixed have not been done nor touched. The final walk through the house was dirty and not clean and when I moved in the house was still dirty and filled with drywall dust, dirt and mud everywhere!! The building process was a nightmare and I'm being modest by saying a nightmare! I thought once I moved in the nightmare would be over but I thought wrong!!!!!!! The house was not built with quality workmanship at all!!!!! I would never build with them again and wish I wouldn't have done so in the first place. ... More

poor workmanship poor materials

Well, the consensus in the neighborhood is that while we all like our neighborhood and the sales team, the actual craftsmanship and completion of our homes leaves a lot to be desired. There are multiple things that have not been FINISHED in my home. I'm not talking about warranty problems, I'm talking about things that should have been finished before closing, that were promised to be completed, and never were. I have a pocket door leading into the master bathroom that was finally delivered over three weeks ago but has never been painted nor installed. My master mirror has a scratch on it that was identified by your team and hasn't been replaced. The holes that were cut in the wall for the washing machine hook-ups that look bad. Why are there no covers around the sawed up sheet rock. It looks bad. My YARD!!!!! The sod was thrown down and is so lumpy that you can barely walk through the yard without nearly rolling your ankle. We have tried putting dirt down in the numerous holes, in an effort to fill the holes, but it is still very lumpy. Also, why is there no sprinkler system in the back yard? People in the phase one have back yard sprinklers. We were never informed that there wouldn't be. Also, my garage floor has paint and spackle lumps all over it because it was never cleaned before moving in. My move in intentions were to paint the floor but I couldn't because it was a disaster. The house wasn't cleaned before move in, either. We had to clean it!!! There are other odds and ends that just weren't finished and efforts to get these problems resolved have led to nothing happening, other than a door being delivered. It's not just me, I spoke with four other neighbors just yesterday and they all have similar stories. I would NOT recommend CENTEX to ANYONE.n an effort to fill the holes, but it is still very lumpy.
