Centex Homes Reviews

The sales process was easy, but the construction team not so good. Im still finding things wrong with the house. I've been in the house for 2 months and still don't have some of the original issues fixed. Construction team is unresponsive now.

I have the biggest case of buyers remorse. Plastic faucets on a 245k house? Lawn is full of weeds. Builder does not respond in a timely manner. Cheap fixtures make me so sad. I had a history maker home that was much better quality and the builder was top notch. I am beyond sad about my home but feel stuck with it.

only lived there for a month and already three warranty claims

I’ve had some good experiences and terrible with this company building my new home. I had my original sales guy not keep me informed on flooring changes but Trent took over and he did great. He explained things and really seamed to care. Devon the building manager was great at first but as soon as I signed my closing. He would say he would fix things that weren’t finished by closing and it would take him forever. I am still waiting on a shower rod for my guest room that was bent and dented since before my blue tape walk through still haven’t gotten it.

The home is well made, but when it comes to the surrounding they rushed and did not do a complete job. There are many places where they rushed to get the home done. Also the outstide water draining systems are not to par.

Centex/Pulte Warranty department employees need a better understanding of their work ethics. We were instructed if there are any issues needing to be corrected call the warranty department. First there’s no human contact by phone to address the issues. Everything is to be listed by photo and described then emailed to the Warranty Dept. I did that for a few items that need to be corrected. I was then sent an email which I found to be very condensing advising me to wait 45 days so they could be corrected. Well I have a huge security issue with our back glass sliding door. The builder contractor ABS sent out 2 individuals on different occasions to correct the issues and both stated the issue isn’t the glass door( which doesn’t lock) the issue is with the Glass Door Frame! It’s been nearly 2 months since we’ve moved in and still the glass sliding door issue remains to be corrected. Does a person need to wait 45 days for their house to be secure. I’ve had to obtain a security system to protect my family. And BTW the list has grown for the 45 day repair. Not too happy for the amount we paid for the house. Warranty Dept needs better communication than doing things by email. Phone calls are a huge social distant approach. Workers should take pride in their tasks. ... More

Everything was smooth till after I did your survey and now it’s like pulling teeth . Still have things that need to be done that we’re addressed before closing and were never done . “Fixed”

Our experience with Centex was not a great one. A lot of options weren't available and we went through several different build managers. We were shown a model home and there were a lot of features in the model home and were not told that those feature would not be in our home. The main issues we had was with their in house underwriting department with a lot of communication errors.

Prior to my walkthrough I had an inspection done of the home. During my walkthrough I gave that report and reported some other problems with the home. I was told everything would be fixed, that did not happen. After I moved in I noticed several more things . There were flaws in the workmanship done around the home. Overspray of paint, construction debri under appliances, debri on top of kitchen cabinet, unfinished caulking around several of the baseboards and door trims, nail holes, hole in wall, nicks in doors and frame, unfinished paint spots, debri in window seals, finger prints on walls and closets, crooked bathroom drawer, damaged kitchen cabinets, unfinished drywall in closets, toilet piping not seated to the wall, light fixture in bathroom not attached properly, concrete rocks all around landscaping.....many issuers with my home and .the craftsmanship that was done to my home looks rushed. ...

Had lots of issues from walls being crooked, to deadlines not being met for final list of things to be fixed. Buyer beware make sure everything is finished before you close.

I have had to put a ticket in 4x in one month (2) tkts were due to my downstairs not heating up. I have had the ac/heating company come out twice the first one shut vents on my 2nd floor and did an air balance check and still it did not help. The second time they came out they opened up the vents upstairs and told me to run the fan while running the heater still no big change in the way my downstairs feels. Now I believe im beginning to see a spot on my ceiling in my upstairs bathroom that cld be a roof leak. I also had an irrigation issue on the side of my home when I moved I was told this will be fixed and they did come out and replace sod. The side of my home is still "muddy" and I cant walk to my backyard without destroying another pair of shoes. So no in all honesty I have had too many issues for this to be a brand new home. ...

Squeaky floors upstairs.

I had to do 3 final walk through this town house. My first one there was a leak in the living room wall that they had the wall torn apart by the sliding door when I arrived. The second walk through there was a wet spot on the wall were the original leak was. I was the person that pointed out that the wall was still leaking. I was told they would have to investigate the leak in the wall once again. When I came for the third walk through the problem (rusted coupling that was leaking) had been resolved. The carpet from the master bedroom on my first walk through was not properly secured in the entrance to the bathroom. The carpet issue was also pointed out in my first walk through. This process delayed my signing of this property until November, which cost more money on my part. ... More

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

Love the house but the small issues do not get resolved and when they do finally get resolved something else gets messed up or it doesn’t get done right

Difficult process when it should have been a positive one- we are happy now as all is said and done

Follow each step of the building process to the fullest. Check ever area on details before closing.

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

It did take a little time to close, and at times the same paperwork that I was asked to submit was being asked to submit more than once either because Centex claimed they never received it or they needed it again. As for my reason to giving a 1 star on Responsiveness to issues is due to a couple of maintenance issues I have that was brought to their attention to 3 different people and I have yet to receive a callback, Email or anything on those maintenance issues that need to be fixed, going on week 4 now.

So so

Still have things that need fixing but no one ever comes to do any thing!!

Love the house. Would appreciate if company was more responsive to lingering issues.

Sloppy and unchecked construction worksets . Uncaring about the cleanness of the areas or the work on houses they are building

The buying experience was fantastic, the sales person(s) were fantastic, the original construction supervisors were great, and the construction seemed to be going well, as time to close on the sale was nearing the wheels fell off the building machine. It seemed everything that could go wrong went wrong, many items lacked in workmanship, many things didn't work, then it was a rush to the finish.

Be prepared for issues to arise between your final walk through and closing. The field manager claimed that Centex would provide a "paint touch up kit", it never happened and I have several areas in my home that the builder failed to paint. I can't even get a response from the company just for the name of the paint color. I've been trying to get a response for several weeks. There was dirt rubbed into my carpet from electricians that were in my home doing work while I was closing. I came home immediately after closing and electricians were in my home, without anyone telling me they would be there. I am continuing to find caulk and paint on my carpets. My master bathtub was covered in sheetrock mud and other substances that took me hours to get out. Also, there is water-logged crown moulding that was left in my garage. The field manager said they would send someone to remove them...that was the first week of March and it still hasn't happened. Several doors didn't close properly within 2 weeks. They sent someone to fix them but my door trim was damaged during the process and they didn't repair it. All and all, there is a poor attention to detail, in my opinion. We are moderately happy with the home but expected more attention to detail for the money. ... More
