Centex Homes Reviews

Good team and we love our new home

Really good job great company! Had a great home buying experience

I quality of the house is very bad and I am today disappointed. The flooring is getting to bad they did not all us to get it upgraded while signing the contract and the carpet is also low quality one. The paint job is very very bad during the walk through everything seems to be good but one we move in and stay there are lot of thing that need to be taken care down the line.

Salesperson Kristi and Builder Cody provided a great homebuying experience. The house is well built and loving the new home

I started out with happiness and then it went to, "got the sale nothing more for homeowner". I have been in my new home for 2 months and unable to to get weatherstipping on 2 entry doors. One door had none from the start and still waiting, the other was in pieces and needed to be replaced, still waiting. Took a month to get someone to fix my garage entry door due to the fact it would not close to lock. I have submitted 3 service request and emails asking to fix these items. So, my experience has not been a smily face for a new homeowner.

All started out well but many issues came up and repairs were scheduled and missed by contractors. Calls weren't being returned by the supervisor and we had to leave multiple messaand texts to get a reply. Our issues are still not resolved after occupancy of 2 months now. I would never buy again from Pulte.

Upon first walking through the homes we purchased, we liked the colors and the fact that it was mostly tile flooring. We also liked the distance between houses. It seemed like pretty much everything we wanted. However, upon moving in and really getting to see the walls and doors and windows, we began quickly noticing a LOT of issues all with quality of workmanship. This house was thrown together so fast by people who really didn't know what the heck they were doing. All of the switch plates and doorstops were put in place before they textured and painted the walls so they are all a mess! We have to go out and buy all new to replace them. Also, the dishwasher was thrown in and not even leveled out so it is crooked and pulling the metal bar out of place at the top. one foot is completely on the floor and the other foot is as tall as it can get. UNREAL! There are large globs of caulk and plaster all over the window sills and molding along the floors and windows, even the door entryway and they painted right over it so it looks messy and cheap. When you see the entire home the few times we did before moving in, we didn't see the details because it's just so overwhelming. but as it settles with you and you begin to get familiar with it, things start to jump out at you. Our bathroom mirror was scratched really bad so after we moved in and noticed it, they brought a new one out a few weeks later to replace it and it was dirty when it was installed and they left it dirty. I cleaned it and as I did, I noticed it was also damaged from behind so I had several large black spots. I let them know. A few weeks later they showed up with a new mirror and this time they cleaned it outside and found more scratches so they didn't install it. I am still waiting for a new replacement mirror. The irrigation system is not place well enough to fully cover our yard so we have large brown dead areas. We also have many of the heads in so crooked, they don't cover effectively so we will have to dig them up and straighten them out. We also need to add a few more heads to cover the dead grass and hopefully bring it back to life. The door to the garage isn't installed correctly so the door doesn't want to close properly. You have to slam it ad then the entire wall shakes and moves like it isn't correctly tied in with the rest of the house. Overall, we are highly disappointed in the quality of the build as well as the responsiveness to our needs after move in. It really is a problem when they tell us at the time they will fix it or add to it and then later tell you why they won't or couldn't. We have built many homes before and this one is just a huge disappointment all around. It's going to take us a lot of our own work and money to correct the sloppiness and poor craftmanship of this house. ... More

Overall a great home but quality of material could be a bit better for the value being paid

Other than some delays during the build process, everything went very smoothly. Even with these delays, we closed right on time. Our salesman got us from buy date to close date, keeping us in the loop the entire time.

Centex provides great size family homes, however building materials quality lacked. Very little lighting in dining area and great room. Many more recess lights should have been used. No decorative chandelier for over dining table area. Biggest issue was super large kitchen but no backsplash at all. Jist white on white. Also only one ceiling fan in the entire home. I now have to buy and install 4 more ceiling fans and put in a backsplash

There is no reason not to buy a home in Rucker landing

Lots of different people involved, but they were all great and very helpful. They walked me through each step from the walkthrough of the house to the move in day.

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.

Great sales process through closing to 30 days after moving into new house, Centex brings it all together with many teams of people that are focused on creating great customer service.

Overall the experience was great. They made sure we would be able to get our dream home.

As a First Time Home Owner, I had a lot of questions about the buying process and things that I'll have to know about the different pieces that make it a Home. Sales Office and the Construction Team was always flexible with my timings (I'm a Out of State buyer, who had to travel a lot for our meetings) and to answer all my questions in a reasonable timeframe. I appreciate the smooth process. Few of the steps seamed intimidating and I guess it’s part of the culture of the Sales process at Pulse/Centex. I felt they kind of rushed me into signing a contract and making the initial deposit. Speaking of Quality, Its a solid 4/5. I had few minor issues after moved in which were promptly responded to to be taken care of. Walkthrough was really a huge win for us as we learned a lot of bits and pieces that are in our home. A Huge Thank You! to the construction manager for all the effort that he put into this. Over all, Its great. Get your inspection done before closing and report every minor thing to be fixed before going into closing. Thank you! Good Luck! ... More

We were very pleased with everything

Outside of the buying experience, which was amazing, and working with the builder, who was on site at the time everything else has been very poor quality. I have several issues or just the ongoing with no timelines and no consistent. Follow up. I’m hoping things improve, but I have already had to spend quite a bit of my own personal money which may not get reimbursed to get things working like my garage door like my washing machine like my security system on and on and on. And for the record, the siding and landscaping was done horribly to begin with, and it shows to this day, which means I will have to spend more money to get that corrected. And all I’m not too unhappy with my purchase. I’m grateful things could be better. I hope my input will be used to spare of the next homeowners the same headaches thank you. ... More

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 "sod" that was put in is basically a blanket of weeds. It is unbelievable. I have called the warranty place multiple times because of standing water on the side of the house and it hasn't been taken care of. The cabinets are cheap and feel like they are going to break at any moment. The handles are all crooked and are noticeably off. The homeowners association is super controlling and requires "permission for backyard gazebos, landscaping, and fence stain, including requiring the name of the landscape company. Yet, they allow the "sod" that is used in the new build to be a blanket of weeds. The project manager was great to work with and when we did the blue tape walk through was great. However, there were things that were not taken care of and I eventually gave up on them. The one highlight through this process was my realtor, Alex. He was absolutely amazing. Pulte mortgage was aweful and I ended up going with a different lender. I am trying to not have buyer's remorse but to say I am disappointed with the quality is an understatement. ... More

Jonathan building manager was excellent. He was very helpful and made every attempt to fix and correct issues in a timely manner. Our experience and time with him was great. However, there are other area where Centex can improve period. Thanks

My home buying process with Pulte Homes was great!! Whenever I had a question it was answered promptly and everything went smoothly. I would recommend Pulte Homes to anyone looking to buy a new home

La verdad fueron muy profesionales en su trabajo y muy contento por mi nueva casa gracias centex
