Centex Homes Reviews

I’ve lived in this house less than a month and have already had siding literally fall off, doors don’t shut properly , paint job was horrendous , caulking was horrendous , toilets are loose, garbage disposal needed serviced, nail pops and cracks everywhere !

I think the experience was good overall.

Although my field manager during this project was excellent! I feel some stuff should be done by the builder to guarantee their homes and property. I feel their sales team lacked assistance during my built and I wasnt even given a tour of the facility which made me almost rethink my purchase... overall my home is awesome with some minor issues and I hope the warranty can commit to fixing asap besides that its a beautiful home!!!

The sales rep was great. I’ve bought centex before where quality and character of the home were more evident. This community was certainly on a budget and with vinyl as the shell it meant upgrades and finishes were basic or non-existent. The Construction manager was kind through the walk through phase and then things change. Layouts of the homes are great overall though.

The quality of the products. When it comes to the trims. Painting and etc it was not worth it. Gray was not easy to work with. If it were issues when I came to him to let him know what was incorrect. He acted as if he was offended when I question him. I closed on the home and shouldn’t have until everything was done correctly. After closing I see things more and more are incorrect. Gray made my experience worse.

I will keep it short and sweet. I had a fantastic buying experience a+. From the moment we fell in love with the house to the closing process went as smooth as it should. After closing we found a lot of issues that should have never been issues, just poor workmanship. From building materials down my drain and clogging up our whole house to the dryer vent being shoved into place and closed for no air to escape, and a gas leak that could not be detected by the plumbers or appliance technician. Trusses in the attic broken and not attached to anything, no electric to the doorbell. These mistakes are proof that the workmanship was poor to none. There was no pride in their work. When workers came to fix these issues, there was a huge language barrier which made it very frustrating. We find ourselves very lucky that we were able to notice an issue with the dryer vent that could have caused a fire, plus the gas leaking for 2 months which could have been a terrible situation. With all these issues already, a home inspection or two may be needed to find myself feeling safe in my new home. ... More

Mediocre experience, small let downs throughout process Builder non responsive

Very disconnected all departments involved in home buying process, lack of a deal management as a whole. Terrible communication between Pulte different areas.

Issues submitted are not addressed timely Example: Emergency call on Saturday November 18, 2023 Major water leak damage to kitchen floor, flex room carpet and molding. Plumber came out Sunday morning, 11/19/23 and says water leak is from dish washer; still waiting for anyone to come out to address.

Pros: Initially, they impressed us with their professionalism, timely communication, and a comprehensive project plan. The sales team did an excellent job of presenting their portfolio, and their reputation in the industry was a significant factor in our decision to choose them. Structural Integrity: The overall structure of our home appears solid. We haven't encountered any issues with the foundation, walls, or roof, which is crucial for the long-term durability of a house. Cons: Finishing Touches: The most significant issue we encountered was the lack of attention to detail in the finishing touches. Doors crooked, noisy and overloaded HVAC, and wrong connections on the dishwasher machine. ... More

This is a very cheap house. The workmanship is poor, the fit and finishes are terrible. They put in several hundred square yards of grass, but put no irrigation system and didn’t offer one, although they said they did, at signing. I have been trying to keep the grass alive until I was able to get someone to install irrigation. I finally got it done and now the grass and trees are half dead and I’m trying to recover them. There was no lightbulb in the garage or the garage door opener. There are no medicine cabinets, no hand towel rods, no drawers in the bathrooms, you could drive a truck through the gaps in the locked doors, they used the cheapest shingles, there was spilled paint on the driveway, and in the garage, the cement on the edge of the garage, and the front porch is marred and has overspray, there was a hole. I could stick my foot through behind the dishwasher through to the outside of the house. It has been six weeks and the street in front of my house still has 2 inches of dirt in it, they planted two oak trees, 6 feet apart in the front yard. In 10 years, those trees are going to collide. I was unable to add any options, including gas for cooking. ... More

Moved in 6 weeks ago, did not have an opportunity to a final inspection. Upon move we spoke to site manager and was told he would have these items taken care of. Sent several text to him to schedule, minimal response. I also put in a request two time on the web site for resolve and still have not heard from anyone. I have a sink faucet that is extremely loose, a hinge that is improperly installed, nail and wood chips in the stairwell, paint and spackle on the rugs, area of painting that were missed and a few other items. Some of these items were addressed in January at the first home inspection. My frustration level I'd getting higher. I would like for a principal to contact me and schedule a date to review these issues. My wife and I bought a new home and wish it to be a perfect as possible. Please address this as soon as possible. ... More

Centex provides great size family homes, however building materials quality lacked. Very little lighting in dining area and great room. Many more recess lights should have been used. No decorative chandelier for over dining table area. Biggest issue was super large kitchen but no backsplash at all. Jist white on white. Also only one ceiling fan in the entire home. I now have to buy and install 4 more ceiling fans and put in a backsplash

Hi, I requested more than 15 warranties in less than two months living in the property. The answer has not been as quick as desired.

Likely decent quality build with poor finish work and follow up.

The buying experience was good. Pretty easy overall. I'm disappointed with the quality of finish and the quality of the products used in the house.

Very poor response to problems. I recommend that anyone purchasing a home, even brand new ones, hire their own inspector before signing any papers. Example foul odors.

Disappointed in the quality and workmanship for the price. Fit and finish is very poor.

Still waiting for electrician to address data port issue. Service ticket placed over a month ago. Baseboards are coming apart from the walls going up the stairs. Seal caulking on granite countertops is peeling.

Overall a cheap quality home. Everything in the home is basic and nothing is of great quality. Centex employees over promise and under deliver. I would never go for Centex again

Allica was a great help, being we were moving from a nother state Repairs upon walk through were noted by both my son & us. They were to be fixed prior to closing. We did not walk through again. After closing we went to the house and repairs were not done. Spoke with GC about repairs and higher ups by text messages. It has been 2 month with dry little done

Finish the house first 100% before you CLOSE, They will not prioritize you.

We have had water leaking in our ceiling initially they sent someone out right away but now can’t reach them to fix the drywall damage. We have barely been in our new home for a month and have already had a few issues. Not very happy with them not getting back to us in a timely manner.

The workers are inconsiderate, sloppy, rude and very messy. The cleaning people are non existent they may wipe down but DO NOT clean. Workmanship could take their time and do a lot of things better and not half way and messy. It should not be ALL on the warranty to try and get everything fixed that should have been done the right way the first time!!!

Well the actual process went of the house being built went ok I guess. My construction managers assured me that all the issues I was seeing would be fixed before closing. This is where my issue started. I was forced to close or have a daily penalty of $200/day until I did. All the while my sheetrock joints and many other things were not fixed as I was promised. I’ve been in my home for over a month and here’s a list of most of my biggest things that need fixed still. They seem to only want to fix one thing at the time and it takes weeks to get that one done. Sheetrock seems all over the house, many places in the trim work,from door doesn’t close properly, painter steps in paint and walked all over my back porch and garage,electrical issues, rust on my cement patio from nails being left on it in the rain, shower heads not directly above/in-line with the water knob. Cheapest paint you can buy was used. Many more I could continue with. As of right now I would not buy another home built by Centex ... More
