The quality of the home is very average. Lots of issues would have just required an extra few minutes when it was being constructed/installed. Overall construction is just somewhere between poor and average. Just disappointed.

This was the most frustrating and horrible home building/buying experience I have ever had. The construction was sub par. There were constant issues that needed correction. My husband was fixing an electrical issue within one week of closing/moving in that if had gone unnoticed could have started a fire. I will never buy from or recommend this company to anyone.

Centex Homes - It isn’t a good time to have a house built right now.
- Tanya T.

It isn’t a good time to have a house built right now. Hard to find skilled labor who cares about their product. Unskilled labor is getting the jobs moved forward at the homeowners expense. Doesn’t seem like anyone cares about their BRAND. Check out the Facebook posts of the neighborhood you are buying in—I may have gone with another builder if I had. If you can wait to build and let the frenzy pass, I would.

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 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.

During the sales, they were the ones who suggested a completion date that had a 2 months float. However, they completed the house 4 months after the date they provided. They did this just to get our initial deposit. Craftmanship is not the best, the light fixtures are as cheap as they come (in a $359K house we were expecting more). They backyard does not have the proper slope and grading so is always wet and cannot be used. I have been trying to have them fix this for 3 months now and all they do is give excuses. They gave me a closing date without the final inspection and appraisal been ...

Once we got people from Centex that were higher up the chain our home the whole process improved. But overall it was not a very good experience. Example: the entire sewer system was left unattached to the main line. Had we not caught it w our home inspector it wouldve been left that way!!!!

My home was not completed when we closed, it has been over a month and a half that we closed and still no one has come to my home to paint over 40 drywall patches and tags that had to be corrected after closing. For them to come complete the tags around our house it took them one month after closing. I really wanted to love my experience with Centex/Pulte but I am completely disappointed by the work and lack of interest that was put into this home.

- Jason P.

- April 02, 2021
- SAN ANTONIO, TX
Quality of workmanship is not there. Doesn’t seem like any quality control is in place (I.e. step by step inspections, etc). Lack of communication during closing process and being told less than 24 hours before closing that it wouldn’t be ready for another week or two. Left us having to scramble to make living arrangements since we had already sold our other home two days prior. Once we moved in, there immediately was a leak in the home due to plumber not tightening the master shower drain all the way during construction. This led to holes having to be cut in the kitchen ceiling. They ...

These homes are built with the bare minimum requiement. For the money spent, Id at least expect to get an archectual roof. curious to see how long the three tab single last in the lowcountry... Also! make sure you go behind them every step of the way. the people working for the contractors building the homes have little experience and could care less about the quality of their work. Get an inspector!!!

The attention you receive from Centex reps is great right before you close, after the closing and you get your keys good luck reaching anyone for warranty service. Very disappointed. That alone makes me not want to recommend Centex to friends and family.

I had a Centex home that was pre-Pulte buy out and LOVED the building experience, the builder and the final home product. My experience with my newest home, post-Pulte buy out, was NOT as pleasurable nor do I have the confidence in this newest homes quality. Building process seemed rushed, was about “getting it done” and the workmanship is lacking as a result. I don’t feel the home I have has the quality in workmanship that it should for the price I paid. I wouldn’t do another Centex home based on my most recent experience. Instead I am taking the stance of “only 5 years... live in it 5 ...

These houses have major electrical issues. They're not wired correctly. There's massive drains issues. I was told I would have a warranty walkthrough at 30 days and still nothing. I had to replace 2 appliances in the first week because of the wiring. Breakers flip constantly. The response and the HOA are also extremely disappointing. If I had to do it over again I certainly wouldn't purchase here.

The quality of materials used and the workmanship get a one star. The cabinetry, flooring, carpets, fencing, and landscaping are of terrible quality. The electrical panel is a 15/20 so I cannot have the lights on and vacuum at the same time without popping the panel. The same thing happens when I have the lights on and want to use several appliances at once in the kitchen such as an air fryer and rice cooker, the panel pops multiple times. I am resetting it 7-8 times each day. I had them come out and they said the panel isn't strong enough to handle what I am doing. This is ridiculous. The ...

Non-existent Customer Service

We had to delay closing multiple times due to incomplete or substandard workmanship. When the project manager was contacted with a list, it was documented, but little or nothing done within a reasonable timeframe. One incident was a crooked wall running at roughly a 25 degree angle, the response was "it doesn't look that bad". It was eventually "repaired", but now the drywall tape was worked loose and is protruding. Have been in the house for almost two full months and the power washing has still not been completed.
