Centex Homes Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

Overall buying and closing process fantastic. But low quality of workmanship.

Flaws that were pointed out during walkthrough - have not been fixed until the day of closing . The builder was running around trying to fix /patch up the damage when I arrived and needed the house clean and ready for movers to move in- the ladder in my living room, opened doors, paint , handyman there . Since it was rushed - many flaws still remained not done ; and now almost 2 months later - it’s not done because the builder finished working in this community and was moved onto another project

Insulation missing on the first floor roof

We purchased our Centex home during the construction process. We toured it frequently & met with our construction manager. All concerns were addressed right away & we have a well built beautiful home. We have been very pleased with the entire process. Everyone in the sales office, mortgage company, insurance company & construction staff were very professional, kind & helpful. We love our new home.

Due to work requirements was not able to purchase in person. The web based dashboard and system was easy to use and very streamlined. Made things easy to upload and check on status of paperwork.

The most innovative property, with all your family needs, will definitely take this journey again if the opportunity arises.

Andrew, Builder was solid throughout process.

Materials are used for kitchen and restrooms not strong enough.

Overall had a great experience. Andrew (construction) has been great with answering and sending updates before we moved in and has been responsive to post close issues. Mark (sales person) was not the nicest. Lied about certain things and just didn’t seem to care about us. Other sales rep was amazing and super nice.

We wanted a modern spacious home with less yard work required. Our new Centex home is the perfect solution. We had an easy buying experience thanks to all the helpful professionals who guided us through the process. Would gladly recommend this builder to family and friends.

I like that centex homes has granite in the kitchen and bathrooms. The builder's team was very helpful, they answered all our questions and did what they promised. The closing process was smooth with no issues.

From beginning to closing it was a smooth process. Everyone was helpful, the quality of the home and everything in between is great. Would certainly recommend to family friends and anyone desiring to purchase a home. Centex is the way to go!

Jonathan building manager was excellent. He was very helpful and made every attempt to fix and correct issues in a timely manner. Our experience and time with him was great. However, there are other area where Centex can improve period. Thanks

First time home buyer and I expected more. Some things in the house from workmanship and materials point of view only were my main complaints.

Purchasing the home through Pulte/Centex has been a rollercoaster. This is our second home and we’ve had a slew of problems (still unfixed since 2019). We purchased this home in January 2023 and while the quality and workmanship is not something I’m proud of, I have to give credit to the Construction managers Andrew and Steve and Warranty manager Brittany. For the first 20-30 days we had several electrical issues and lost power, which was fixed. Other items are still being worked on. If it wasn’t for the listed associates above, we would not have purchased.

Overall I had a positive experience in buying a home through Centex/Pulte. Our sales representative was very kind and helpful. We had a water intrusion event prior to closing and the team was very responsive and upfront with us. They also paid for all of the testing and remediation costs. The site manager Troy, was also extremely helpful and worked with us to make sure we were happy with our home. We have had some issues with our cabinets, lots of missed paint touch ups, poor caulking/sealing around baseboards and other cracks, and small cracks/lines in the drywall. We have also had some minor electrical issues, but those were easily repaired. Some of these are likely due to replacement after the water issue and probably not what would be normal in a regular build. That being said, given the price we paid it definitely felt like a lot of these issues should have been addressed. I would describe the quality overall as really good on the big stuff, but some corners were cut or the job was just done too quickly on the small things. Thankfully, we haven't run into anything that cant be fixed, and the warranty team, Marc, has been really great at getting things done. Probably the worst part in dealing with Centex has been their contractors using our water and putting trash on our property while building other homes in the neighborhood. I have had paint splashed on my exterior walls from their painters washing out paint with my spigot. However, that wouldn't be a concern if the homes near us were built already. Despite some of these negatives, I have already recommended a Centex home to a friend who is buying one and I would recommend their homes to others. The Centex/Pulte team has been super responsive with trying to address our issues and that has really gone a long way. ... More

Centex Homes proved I made the right choice! From the initial greeting and assistant provided in the model center with Mark; to the on-site construction manager Steve being accommodating and thorough in his quality checks; to Brittany provide her customer service that was kind and responsive; the entire process was a breeze. On celebration day, I was welcomed with a literal red carpet and a welcome home sign on “Celebration Day” (closing day) that solidified that I made the right choice. Thank you for such a smooth experience and beautiful new home!

Nice homes! Good quality! Happy with my purchase.

Closing was put off because u didn’t have all documents ready. Also repair issues no one showing up and taking care of issued

Neal was amazing. He took the time to answer all of our questions. Overall good experience.

Horrible. Nothing completed . Missing things. Was told will put in workorders. Made appointments. Never showed..

Was able to close online!

Too many details weren’t finished before the closing like downstairs bath vent, wall, cabinets, power in certain rooms, etx

There were several issues that were very obvious that should have been addressed prior to my taking occupancy. These issues are scheduled to be fixed in the near future. Overall I am happy with my new home.

I had a perfect location and the price of the premium lot did not go up that much which I am thankful for. However, I'm a little disappointed that I didn't have much options to buy my dream style/design home, so I just kept my first priority which is the location. I appreciate the incentives which a lot of builder/lender have similar offer.
