I have crooked bricks in the exterior, missing quarter round, vinyl floor planks moving and oh the internet cable was not laid for the entire phase two group. I have been operating off hotspots and I telework. How does a critical work item not get executed during a project, it’s baffling. Who know when it will actually get done. I will pass on this experience with any one interested and continue to inform anyone who will listen.

We loved working with Pulte until halfway through the building process. Whether disorganization, outright lies, deflecting responsibility- it was a disaster.

  • Robert B.

  • Louisville, KY

The mortgage side, title side, insurance we’re all great to work with, but Pulte needs to allow its team more control over their vendors. The detail work was below expectations, that’s even when they decided to show up. Closed 2 months late and it’s a real shame our first home buying experience went this way, rather not do it again

Communication is not good.

  • Matthew L.

  • June 08, 2021
  • La Grange, KY

The lack of communication is almost enough to make you wish we bought somewhere else. We have had issues with our closing date, our driveway, the HVAC and the landscaping in the backyard. All other issues are to be expected and are small. It has been a frustrating experience. The communication is horrible. Driveway was in disrepair since the day we moved in (nobody told us about this until we went to do the final walk through the day of closing). We were told over and over the drive way would be torn out and replaced. Dates have come and gone and I still have no idea when it’s going to be ...

Centex Homes - Overall buying experience was poor.

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • April 08, 2021
  • La Grange, KY

Overall buying experience was poor. The house was not complete at closing. I drove to the house after closing only to see painters inside doing repairs that should've already been completed. It took over a month after closing to get the correct appliances delivered. The driveway surface was damaged from ice during construction and still has not been addresed almost 2 months after closing. It is a nice house, but due to the overall buying and closing experience, I would not recommend Pulte.

The house wasn't done when we went to closing. centex assured us that they were going to everything done as we moved in, but it been 2 months now since we moved and the house is still uncompleted. We're thinking of bringing this issue to court.

Go with another builder!

Our project manager does not have the knowledge to build a house. Contractors do less than quality work and it is acceptable to the PM. We had to point out several issues. They installed broken window, broken cabinet, unlevel flooring, no straight walls, terrible paint job and I could go on and on. You close and move in and it is a pain to get the outstanding work completed after they have your money. Go elsewhere!

Centex Homes responded:
We are disheartened to hear about your experience and it is definitely not the Pulte experience we would like for you to have.

They cut corners, have poor craftsmanship, and don’t listen

Decided to have a house built and was eager to be able to watch its progress. Started noticing problems when the framing was done with a lot of splits in some of the 2x4s. I was told they were not structural and where they were, they just added a second one next to it. Roofing was subcontracted out to another company who blatantly put it on wrong. This was brought up to them and I was told it was in the manual and approved. I am now having to deal with a leaking roof 52 days after closing. Besides that the insulation and drywall was good with the exception that it took almost 10 weeks to ...

I have so many walls that aren't even square, Flooring scratched up, cabinets broken, water damage spots in master bath, literally keep finding more and more stuff in this home. The construction manager is an idiot, doesn't know anything, literally had no clue what fire blocking was and tells me these homes don't have them when in fact we do. The studs arent 16" on center or even uniformed, studs range from 17"-32" in space, absolutely ridiculous. Pulled the inspection reports for this home through the city and alot of preliminary issues that our agent didn't even tell us. Again, just a ...

The entire process was a horrible experience. We will never use Pulte/Centex again. Misinformation and lack of communication was an issue throughout the process. Even to the point they lied about the inspectors appointments which resulted in delays in closing, failed to disclose critical repairs need day before closing, construction manager did not even do a final walk through - before or after closing. There are so many issues with the property its ridiculous, from the poor painting, screws already popping through, incomplete finishes, cabinets that needed repair that still haven't been ...

  • Jessica M.

While I don't believe the house is going to fall down around us, the finishing touches were very poor. They were in a rush to get us closed. Paint on the floors and splattered on the cabinets. Problems with our plumbing. The trim around the roof is bent. Stickers left on windows, trash left in the yard with the seed and sod just put on top of it, dirt and mud left on the outside windows and sides. We also had a pipe leak into the walls one week after closing the repairs STILL have not be finished. Centex works with sub-contractors that don't care about your home and once you close, Centex ...

We closed on the 29th March, My wife and I walked into a house that had holes in the ceiling, holes in the walls, all floors where dirty and had paint overspray on every part of the house. The quality vinyl floors had lifted in every room on the lower level, which we are still waiting to be replaced. We have had jobs in for correction or repairs since we have been here and am not impressed with the quality of work received. If this is Centex's idea of quality they should be ashamed of what they are selling. This house, and I say house because I am still unable to put my furniture in due to ...

Much of the home is still full of the same issues that had been promised to be fixed such as paint on the floor in multiple locations, trim missing in our bathroom, warped cabinet doors in the kitchen, and poor dry wall work with metal corner braces still being exposed against a white wall.... Anytime we have reached out to our builder rep he was more focused on a positive survey response than the completion or even overall craftsmanship put into our home. We were the last home in our neighborhood to close and it has been made apparent that the focus is on the next building project now that ...

As a first time home buyers we are ecstatic to be building our home. At first the process started off smooth. Then we ran into issues with certain contractors which we tried to be understanding of. Then when we would bring said issues to our field managers attention it was always an excuse if that was supposed to be done and this was supposed to be done but no explanation as to how it will in fact get done. The day of our celebration walk our home was filthy, carpet was a disaster and like I told the field manager if I wanted a used home I would’ve bought one. We have been in our home almost ...

When we finally closed on the third try because we had to get out of our home under contract, it was a nightmare and has been since. There are too many issues, photos and videos to count. We are still living out of boxes over a month later. We should have come in and started hanging curtains and enjoying our brand new home. There is nothing happy or beautiful about this experience and I think someone should compensate us for it.

I will never buy another Centex Home. A month without air conditioning is completely unacceptable. 90+ degree days. I have a baby. A MONTH. Do you have any idea how many times I heard, "we'll be back out tomorrow." I had chipped granite countertops that I had to keep bringing up. After cutting into my walls, they patched the drywall and STILL haven't finished painting. One might be inclined to think I'm just an outlier or just a complainer, however, if one were to come talk to people in the neighborhood, they would find them all in agreement. All of my neighbors say that they will NEVER buy ...
