Centex Homes Reviews

I’m still dealing with repairs and things that were not done properly in the home. Model homes are beautiful but they will not make your home with the same attention to detail. Worst decision ever to build with Centex. I’ve been in this home for 2 months and have had someone go every week to repair something all because material and workmanship is low quality. They took our excitement away.

Pulte Did not follow through on agreement for 30 day follow up Inspection. 4 months after my home closing I am still left with broken door that would not open Even if a fire broke out and windows that I can not see out of.

If you are reading this, please move on... trust me you will thank me later. Centex/Pulte homes are very poorly made and require a lot of maintenance calls to fix things that are days to weeks old. They employ "anyone that can show up that day" - direct quote, to the home site. Purchases 6 weeks ago, after initial 18 things on the closing punch list (pretty standard) I have had sent 38 emails trying to fix the new 26 items. The trades that come bye talk down to the homeowner as if they do not know anything. Very poor communication, poor quality workmanship and poor material used. The default whit most of this is "that's why you have a X-year warranty"... So when everything breaks down they suggest you just take it up with the warranty people, instead of making sure things are right or well made as to avoid the warranty people. The neighbors on either side of me are experiencing the same sorts of issues so I know I am not an outlier. Look else ware for piece of mind and less aggravation.! ... More

We are disappointed with the entire process other than dealing with our construction manager.

After moving we notice a lot of shady work and where the builders cut corner. Our plumbing was done wrong which caused a leak, water heater was never turning on, floors are buckling, paint was complete trash, and that’s just the short list of problems

Constant electrical trips of water heater. Plumbing mixed up with outside faucet and kitchen sink. Grass in front yard sunk after rain.

It take them time to get a response back and multiple attempts to reach them.

My rental home was in better condition than what I thought would be a new home. My wife says the habitat for humanity home she grew up in didn't have as many errors. I don't know whether to trust any repairs would be more than just patch work rather than actually correcting the building errors and lack of craftsmanship. I regret buying a Centex home I regret trusting Centex with building my home. I don't know whether to just walk away from this home it's saddening to know Centex builders have such a low moral standard when building homes. I've called the building manager several times with no answer. I would really like a representative of Centex corporate to see the obvious errors. Walls aren't straight I know cause I checked the most obvious one with a leveler the top of the wall is level where the obvious lower part is pulling forward the leveler verified this. Their in a gap between the granite counter top and the lower kitchen shelves it's obvious the same issue is present in the master bathroom but they used a nail gun to try and attach the restroom lower cabinet to the wall then they used seal to fill in the gap running the length of the master sink they even left a nail popping out the side of the lower restroom cabinet with no attempt to remove it it's just popping out. Shady and extremely poor craftsmanship all the way around my house. To many errors to list I'm extremely disappointed and looking into other options to abandon this house. Biggest mistake of my life was choosing a Centex home. ... More

One month in and not even settled and we discover a water leak caused by builder that was present prior to closing and not discovered. Extensive water and mold damage. Complete rebuild of kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Can’t even use kitchen for over 3 weeks. Not all satisfied or happy with the fact that we paid good money for a new home and now will be left with a second rate repaired build! Seeking legal counsel.

I am very disappointed with Centex workmanship. I am having leaking window problems, and A/C issues that hasn’t been rectified. They alway seem to put my issues off, especially the windows and A/C.

Dust everywhere, loud noises from construction workers, broken stuff inside the house, workmanship is below average! Nails all in the road.

Make sure to read your easement clause

My experience has been horrible and it's still horrible. I'm still living in a unfinished house with dented appliances creeping floors & no hot water. Within the last month I had to take off work 6 times for them to come fix (quote unquote) things that should have already been done. I have no hot water still!!! I have called 3 times prior for them to fix this! Also I had no air but I finally did get air! Drywall is not complete paint is not complete the items I marked at the final walk through to be fixed have not been done nor touched. The final walk through the house was dirty and not clean and when I moved in the house was still dirty and filled with drywall dust, dirt and mud everywhere!! The building process was a nightmare and I'm being modest by saying a nightmare! I thought once I moved in the nightmare would be over but I thought wrong!!!!!!! The house was not built with quality workmanship at all!!!!! I would never build with them again and wish I wouldn't have done so in the first place. ... More
