Centex Homes Reviews

Everything about my build was AWESOME! I loved every step, right up until the end. I went in to do some tape for drywall issues and then again... And again. Closed on the house and that afternoon drywallers came back because they missed spots that I had taped 10 times before. I talked with my neighbors and all of them seem to have the same feelings that the drywall is poor quality. I took one star off quality and value because of the poor drywall. The drywall is the finished surface indoors and seeing blemishes, bubbles, lines, divots, etc bring down the perceived value.

It had been 2 months since we moved in a new home. We are happy with our home at this moment. Thanks.

For a suburban home lot it isn't bad. I cant help but think could could more out of my money by just custom building slightly further out of town. It is a tract home so quality is pretty good for the most part but there Is definitely signs of going fast. They did a decent job for drainage on the whole community but they should have still put more thought into it because they definitely went the cheap route.

Very responsive and customer care is excellent

I'm overall very pleased with my new home. The construction manager was fantastic to work with and the Centex/Pulte made it simple to buy with great staff, a great website, and a nice design center. The home went up super fast and was ready almost a month ahead of when we thought. That's where I wish it had been different. There were many things evident that showed it was a rush job. On our final walkthrough, there were quite a few things that still needed to be taken care of. We gave them the benefit of the doubt. On our closing date after signing and receiving our keys, things were still being worked on. The overall home looked wonderful with no major concerns, but there were tiny issues with painting, electrical, carpet, and cabinetry that were rough around the edges. We've had to submit a few warranty claims to get things fixed within the first couple of months. I also wish I could have chosen my landscaping a bit more. Again, overall, I'm very pleased, but they could have taken their time on a few things and they would have still met our timeline goal. ... More

For the most part we are happy with our new home. Any issues with build quality are of normal nature and dealt with in a professional manner by the warranty staff.

Fix all items quick

The process was well planned and complete. Information up front was lacking about details following move-in like all the details of watering and care for the lawn. The floor plan is very poor. The width of the garage does not accommodate two cars. Almost no one in our neighborhood can park two cars in their garage. The entrance into the basement is too small and crowded. The entrance into the house from the garage through the laundry room is too tight.

Overall I believe this is a good home. I would buy another in the future. The quality of the house build is good. If there were a 4.5 rating option I would have chosen it as some items related to the entire property could have been better in my opinion. Within a week of moving in some weeds appeared in the both brick driveway and patio. Exterior flood lights were loose. Tile floor has some material on it that is taking extra care to remove. Overall however am I happy with my purchase - Yes.

They were quite responsible with the time they set for the delivery of the house.

This process has been mostly good. We have been in the home a little.over 1 month. It has been difficult, at times, to get a response to some issues (even after moving in) because there is so much building happening at one time. Still, we love our home and am happy we built here!

Overall experience was great. I do wish there took into consideration homeowners preferences in yards and gave more space in between homes rather than trying to fit more into the subdivision. Additionally underground sprinkling should be on a central recollection line to help mitigate costs for homeowners.

Great house. The building of house on the street can be a little ruff at times the contractors work long hours. We love the house and the neighborhood.

Centex offers a wide variety of attractive floorplans. The fact that they are owned by Pulte Homes was big plus and influenced our decision to purchase since we have previously purchased a new Pulte home.

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

They were extremely quick to fix any outstanding issues.

Bought our house with Centex in June. The process and staff we worked with were great. They were very informative and helpful. Only issue we had was with the quality of workmanship primarily with the concrete work. First we had to have our entire pad walking up to the front door floated (lt is now a different color than my walkway up to the house and driveway) because the concrete was pooling with water and not level. It also had gouge marks in it from them using the backside of a hammer to break off mortar that had fallen and dried on it. The difference in color although not a big deal is frustrating when you pay $420,000 for a brand new house. The driveway also had many small holes and one the size of a baseball in it which again was fixed but looks a different color. The curb in front of our house was not lined up with the existing curb so there is about a 1” bump out in the curb connecting to our driveway from the rest of it. Lastly the 1” bump up going into the garage was chipped on the edge and we had to ask them to repair it. This agin does not look like the rest of the slab and noticeably stands out. It will inevitably fail aging as well since it’s right on the edge so that’s frustrating. Overall house is beautiful but concrete work is terrible. The finish on my 230,000 house in Savannah was much nicer than this one which is almost double the price. ... More

Some of the materials are lower in quality than some homes.

We are loving our new home. Mason (builder) has been fantastic. He makes sure that every feature of our new home is working and that we know how to use it. He goes way beyond what we expected in a builder.

No trim on one of the bathrooms, shower courtain pole was broken, kitchen cabinet top trim it’s not balanced and wasn’t fix, electricity issues mentioned on the walkthrough. When I received the house, all those issues mentioned on the inspection and walkthrough wasn’t done.

My realtor Brian O’Connor of Realty Austin is the best of the best! I don’t know if I would have found the right house and made it to the closing table without him! I love the location of my home I was intentional about living further out. The builder so far so good and I paid for a private inspection and minimal things had to be addressed. I wish there was a little more sound quality taken into consideration when building these homes for example the study I’m using as an office and at 4 when the kids get home from school in the neighborhood it’s hard to take a meeting because of their laughter and enjoyment which I’m not mad at just wish those little things were taken into consideration when building homes in general and more of a sound control in between bedrooms. I would recommend Centex to family and friends the mortgage company prob not. ... More

First time buying a new home and Im glad that I found this beautiful community .Very convenient to nearby supermarket and mall and as well as the hospital/ The woodland area. Well its hard to say as of yet with regards to house itself because the house is new this time . well see for a year if how good is the house when it comes to the durability of the materials. For now it is still in excellent condition despite theres some minor things that has to be address . But it was rectified. Thanks to the field manager who provided good service.

The dishwasher is not working properly, several lamps had to be replaced. The kitchen cabinet hinge has some problem.

The sales associates, Kathy and Tyler were absolutely amazing and very helpful and patient with me. I was happy to make them laugh a few times. Going through the mortgage process was a pain in the a## but I got through it. The construction seems to be pretty good so far. I like the location and hope it continues to improve. The construction around me doesn’t bother me knowing that it will eventually get done. I haven’t experienced all the fees yet but, this isn’t my first rodeo at owning a home, but I hope there aren’t too many surprises.

My experience was smooth and easy. Everyone was very responsive and kept me updated along the way. I would recommend buying a home with Centex. Thanks for everything!
