Centex Homes Reviews

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 complete putting the whole build a month behind schedule. Most of the plumbing used was cheap flex tube and all A/C vents were also flex. I guess it was a good thing considering the project manager managed to flood the bathroom and the flex A/C vent routed half of the water to the basement. Other than that, I have had random small things like different door locks put on the wrong doors, outside dryer vent wasn’t even attached to the house, etc. that I have had to fix or get fixed. There is a lot of attention to detail that gets left off and hinders the quality of the build. Compared to other builders I would say they are probably the worst I have had the displeasure of working with so far. Save yourself the headache. ... More

The building experience with Centex was a very easy and positive experience. We love our home and any cosmetic questions we had at pre close and even after close we had quick assistance. We are very happy with our home and appreciate the work provided by the entire Centex team.

I liked the home buying experience

Because I didn’t use their lender and title company very hard time to obtain the keys

Centex home are not bad. But I wiould love more quality products and adding more fixtures to make it sand out the more.

Throughout the experience my contractor manager kept me informed with the process.

It was not times consuming and that’s what I needed.

Our house is great. Centex probably tries to give us a great product but I could give a couple of advices: - Read everything. Yes it will take a lot of time, but you need to do it. - Hire an external inspector. The external inspection's report should have a lot of pictures (my inspection was great). - You must do an inspection by yourself. The inspector is a human been and can make mistakes. In my case, he didn't notice something that I did. - Do not sign until the house has no issues. We found some issues with the house (no big problems, most of them just details),so the closing date was reschedule. During the final walkthrough I checked all the details to be solved in a rush, but I wasn't 100% agree with one solution. When we moved to our new house, that "solution" didn't work as we expected and now I am waiting for the supplier to solve the situation (little A/C adjustment). - When you receive your keys, the fist think to do (after the joy), verify the timer (splinkler system) if you have it already installed. I didn't do it. I week after we moved, I noticed that our grass was really bad (overwatering). Probably it is my bad because I should be aware of that since the beginning. Our closing date was almost 1 month after the grass was planted, we moved 1 week after the closing date, I checked the timer 1 week after we moved. The times for watering were excessive (20 minutes in some areas, everyday) and that was causing the grass begins to decompose. I am trying to solve that problem. ... More

Everything has been pretty simple and the repair/fix process has been easy too!

We had a great home buying experience with Centex. Quality building and we feel safe in the event of a storm here in SWFL. However, our best experience has been the after care given by Keith. He’s super attentive, action-oriented and responsive. We know we can trust and count on him to really care about our needs and concerns.

Some parts of experience were OK. Others leave much to desired.

The homebuying experience was pretty easy overall. Steve in the sales office was great, all of the people I came in contact with in the finance and mortgage department were amazing, and Travis, who was the person that took me through my home orientation has been absolutely amazing and responsive. There are a few things in the home that I would like to change. Because I did not have the option to select the items, I did end up with a refrigerator that I’m not crazy about, but I plan on changing that as well as changing the electric stove to a gas stove. I’m really settling in nicely in my home and continue to get support from Travis when things come up. I would definitely buy from Centex again. The team has been amazing. ... More

I just purchased a home at Mavera community. Haven't had the experience of living in it yet. Mainly choice it for the beautiful nice atmosphere, and amenities it has to offer. My experience purchasing this house wouldn't have been great if it wasn't for the dedication and hard work of the warranty and construction team. Christopher and especial kudos to Coleman! Very knowledgeable, provided valuable information. Communicate effectively. Was very supportive, patient, caring and kind. Always willing to help resolve any issues or concerns I had with the house. I'm pleased and excited to be part of this neighborhood, and truly hope that I would continue to feel this way as I move in. ... More

Love the house and the location. Construction manager was a super nice guy and made the terrible hand off from the sales person smooth.

Thank You Centex. Appreciate you all.

Centex was able to make it happen for us. Robert, our sales rep, and Shawn, our construction manager, were great and helpful through the process. Pulte mortgage done a great job dealing with the closing process seamless. We love the home, and we referred one of our friends to the community. Thank you for making it happen for us!

Person how helps it's great

Our overall home buying experience with Centex was good! Special thanks to Clint and Rhonda for being helpful, informative and patient with us during the home buying process. Although, I was not fully satisfied with some concerns that were left unaddressed by my inspector.

They were extremely quick to fix any outstanding issues.

This was a brand-new build. Initially, I expereinced what I thought was a smooth and exceptional purchasing expereince; however, after having purchased my hone, I quickly realized the shoddy workmanship and inferior builder materials used. Once I reported my concerns, the fixed issues were left incomplete/half done, less than anyone would have expected. Warped flooring, exterior doors not fitting leaving gaps, hoses to washing machine drainage not installed correctly leaving water gushing from my upstairs floor to my downstairs living room. I strongly REGRET ever purchasing from this builder. I would highly recommend a full inspection to any home-buyer thinking of purchasing from this builder. Buyer- Beware!!! ... More

Everything went well and in timely manner

I missed out on other better service options. The supervision of the quality of the construction is deficient and the response to the guarantee is null.

I’m very happy with the quality of the house and all the professional people involved building this house

Overall experience is ok. If you have selected upgraded package, make sure that you verify these in a timely fashion. Luckily I checked so there is no delay. Home is ready on time as mentioned. Nice features included for the package that I selected.

Overall nice home, but in the end the home was rushed so the builder could meet the closing date, I feel that a lot of details was missed and skipped because of the rushing to finish toward the end. We would have been happy to move back the closing date in order to have it done correctly. There are several things were are doing ourselves because the response to issues has been non existent.
