Centex Homes Reviews in Columbus, OH

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.

If you decide to build with this company, be extremely observant during your final walkthrough and take extra time to look at everything. We have crooked corners, bumps in the drywall, bad paint job, chipped mirrors and counters, damaged drawers...they even completely drywalled over a window and didn’t fix it until we realized it after we moved in. Some things have been fixed, a lot has not. I’m quite disappointed in this builder.

The sales rep was very proactive and patience to guide us. The process was seamless just the finance Part of it was stressful as we had little or no guidance about document submission.

Andy was great and set clear expectations. Management of the build was well coordinated. Seemingly inferior quality materials when I compare to the new build my mother in law has in progress with another builder at a lower price point. Example concrete driveway instead of asphalt. Undersized mechanicals cause Issues with proper cooling in the summer. For the price would have expected sod throughout. Neighborhood looks poor in areas due to seeding vs sod. They used to provide full sod but went with a cheaper option of partial sod last year. Overall house was built quickly with decent quality. Most frustrations are with mechanicals and landscaping shortcomings. ... More

Not even 1 month into my new home and multiple drywall and trim issues are occurring as the home is settling I'm a builder by trade and final inspections need tightened up.

Centex Homes only offers a 11mth punch list for any issues that arise. If you choose to build with them make sure you look very close at everything. We are having drywall issues and now have to wait 11mths to have them addressed.

They are gorgeous houses but you can tell quite easily the cheap craftmanship. More importantly the building process is crazy and their workers are not reallly helpful in showing your what options you have. The builder we worked with was the only positive experience of centex.

Purchased a home from Pulte/Centex - 4 months before closing. Craftsmanship was poor in multiple areas at “final walkthrough”. I feel the house should be completely finished with all errors corrected before “final” review. However, 100+ pieces of blue tape were everywhere with defects in cabinetry, warped walls, etc. We were given the “official” closing date 7 days prior to signing documents and receiving keys (moving from 3 hours away with moving trucks). Work to fix all errors didn’t occur in time which caused a chaotic mess and delayed closing. Of course we had our 2 children and full trucks anticipating moving in. I escalated concerns to the corporate office which informed us they would reach out and reimburse us for hotels, moving and other expenses incurred from the official closing date given to us until move in (delayed 5-7 days). Of course, we never heard from him again & ate the costs of Pulte’s error for storage & hotels. To be honest, the 15 days leading to us physically moving was a total nightmare. I would not go through the process again if I could do it over. ... More

During the initial phase, the information provided was done in a professional manner and maintained throughout the home building process. Once we actually moved in, we did not expect to have to deal with concerns brought up before we moved in. The follow up-seemed like we were bothering them to correct workmanship that was needing repair. We asked to meet at a time that worked with our work schedule and were told the only time available was Monday - Friday, 8-4pm. We altered our schedule to meet the times provided. We like the house just not the nuances of having repairs needed on a brand new house. Not sure I’d buy another new house. ... More

Still need to clear for the customer before sighing the contact.I find two different things.

Check the quality of the home. 30 days in and we have several issues that are all quality related. For the money our expected value isn’t there. Based on our personal experience I’d say the builder’s reputation does not match up with what we are experiencing. In general we are dissatisfied.

Been in the house almost 2 months. Still trying to schedule repairs from before I closed. :(

It’s a nice looking home. Build quality / materials not that great. I wouldn’t go this route again . It’s not a bad home. I’ve learned a lot from this experience

My concrete wall need to be fixed but know one shows up, I’m telling them to fixed it and the ceiling paint is bad, my. Backyard is all being crack. I have referred my friends to centex but I’m really upset with the builder. I’m not going to refer my friends and family to this builder .

Haven’t had a ton of issues with the home yet other than some minor stuff. Never buy a centex home until all items are completed before close. I moved in late January and still have no yard other than mud. I understood that it would not be completed due to weather but was under the impression that those things would be completed in order. They do not move in order and currently houses that closed a couple weeks ago already have yards. On top of that they refuse to give answers on anything.

I found some imperfections on my home and I told to the construction management but the issues aren’t fixed yet

I will have a hard time recommending Pulte to clients. Very unghapoy sincecosing on my personal home.

Overall very disappointed with the quality of the material and workmanship. Interior space, layout, plan seems OK. But execution, quality material, workmanship, quality control, inspection process are subpar. The second day after moving we had to call emergency number for water leak in laundry room. You can imagine the experience. I had purchased two houses prior to this and were not this disappointed unfortunately. I am not recommending anyone to build or purchase Centex house.

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

Cheapie Build Check carefully

The home is beautiful! The site managers are ridiculous. Literally it’s like pulling teeth to get them to answer questions directly. Constantly give noncommittal responses or just don’t respond to them at all. After closing, we were assigned another site manager. Same issue. Takes days to respond. Already had issues with features of our home and had to put in service tickets. I’d suggest another builder. Pulte (Centext) seem to only think of you as a number and just want your money.

Too many could have save me money if they would have let me change some things being done .

They don’t care about you!!! Just your money!!!!!

I would never recommend Pultey/Centex to anyone! This has been the worst experience ever! Because they rushed my build so that they could move on to the next and collect a check, a low-quality product was delivered. Who installs contact paper on the floor. There are numerous build quality issues today. No lawn or driveway when I closed. This is a risk to my interior belongings with tracking of dirt ect. Waste backed up from a pipe in the basement. There are other issues, but I don't have time to list. They are awful and are not customer-centric. Home buyers should have more rights. The buyer's only recourse is escrow, which is not sufficient. ... More
