Centex Homes Reviews

All the doors in my house need to have tops and bottoms sanded and painted. The whole interior and out side need to be repainted.(they came in and did touch ups -- you can see the difference) Several areas still need chaulking. The windows I can not open or lock once I get them back down. At bottom of Patio door missing plaster. Shower rod in 2nd bath was not installed correctly. Front door needs to be adjusted so no light or bugs are coming in. Still finding wood shavings in cupboards as I clean and store things.

Everything is OK except landscaping. The landscaping contractor did a terrible job ! There are a lot of deep areas and many many of pot holes in the yard ! The whole neighborhood has the same issue ! Centex should send the landscaping team to redo what they did not perform right at the first time, people might sue Centex when they get hurt by stepping in these pot holes ! Please fix this problem for everyone in this community.

It was an overall good experience. The time line to completion was achieved. Happy with the home.

Building manager was exceptional, very responsive and professional. Building quality- some aspects were rushed. Painters were terrible. Caulk seal of crown molding is sloppy and already starting to separate. Choice of dishwasher is poor due to quality of its functioning as well as overall look.

Very knowledgeable, caring and understanding in what you're looking for. Their product speaks for itself.

Customer service is okay, construction is not good.

There are a couple of issues that still need to be address. But don't know who to contact, as we have mentioned it twice to the Centex Realtor at the new home sales office. The ground/front yard is not leveled and very uneven in many places. My elderly father who lives with me has fallen a couple of times because the ground has so many uneven areas. I have also tripped and twisted my ankle when walking throughout our front yard. Its difficult to continue to clean out the weeds because its difficult to walk safely throughout the yard. Who can help us fix this issue? Our neighbors said they had the same issue and their yard was fixed. Please help us. Thank you ... More

I have had wonderful experience with centex home.

I got a great price per square foot on a new home in Elley Crossing. Unfortunately, I'm finding out you get what you pay for. I experienced several quality control issues that, for the most part, they're willing to address. But it can be a bit of a hassle to see these issues through. I still have some pending. Also, all lighting fixtures and bathroom finishings used in my home were very basic. But that could be why I got such a good price. The paint quality could be better too, and my yards are still an unleveled mess, but overall, I still feel like I got a good deal. Maybe I should be asked again to review the home in a few years to see if it holds up. So far, not bad. But I put some extra work and money into my home. If you're looking for move-in ready, maybe customize one to your liking and steer clear of the quick move-in deals on the ones that are readily available. That may have been my mistake. But if you want a great deal on the financed amount, and are willing to do some upgrades yourself, the quick move-ins are a good deal. ... More

Centex was great while building our new home!

Good experience for being a first time home buyer...

Generally speaking, the building process was very quick. Communication from the builder was usually good. The main issues we encountered was that the builder would provide a date of when XYZ would be installed to the home but then it rarely happened according to their timeline. Of course exterior items are weather permitting which we understood, but often times it was interior items and the weather had been fine. The builder that was over our home often gave what we considered a "non answer" or the run around when we asked if specific items in our home could be tweaked (i.e. very slight change in location of light fixture that ultimately was never actually done). We visited multiple homes under construction that were our same model that we chose to build and were familiar with what to expect. We noticed some homes included electrical outlets in the master closet but during the build of our home there was not one. When asked about this, our building manager explained that the workers don't always work the exact same way and utilize skills carried with them from various other home builders. While we decided not to argue about the installation of something as simple as an electrical outlet, we did not find this reasoning to be satisfactory. Every home should be built the exact same way. Upon moving into our home, we noticed LOTS of trash scattered in our backyard that which included sharp blades and nails everywhere. We have dogs and before we were able to allow them to use the yard we had to spend a good amount of time to clean up all the debris which we were not at all happy about. A home buyer who just spent several hundred thousand dollars should never have to do that. We picked up 3 full grocery sacks worth of metal and debris, some of which was simply covered up by a layer of sod. This is dangerous! What if other homes with children experienced this and were injured? We felt this was entirely lazy and inconsiderate of the construction crew and the builder for not ensuring this was properly taken care of. Otherwise, we were happy with the sales of the home, the majority of the building process was smooth and enjoyable and of course we love our new home. Now... we just have to submit a claim for our non-working disposal (we have been here 1 month and we have hardly used it... YIKES). ... More

I came for my final walkthrough and there were a number of obvious things that should have been addressed if someone would have taken the time to just look. I feel the house should have been show ready at our final walkthrough and it was not.

Build experience was amazing, our sales consultant and build manager made things a breeze. We love our home and everything in it however the warranty process has been absolutely awful and far from the amazing experience we had with the build. It’s been almost 2 months since we’ve moved in and I have emailed warranty countless times about issues that need to be fixed and have yet to be fixed. Not a great way to treat customers after close in my opinion.

Bathroom lighting could be better.

The location is good and have easy access to hi ways. The size of the house is good for its price and has good quality.

Centex builds a solid house. There were problems, some major, due to a disconnect between sales and the build teams. However, wherever there was a problem the Centex team fixed it without batting an eye. These are good people who stand behind their products.

Detailed checklists at all stages were very helpful

Build of the home went well. Drywall and paint finish had much to be desired!! Many defects throughout the home

As a first time homeowner, I wanted to get a newer house to avoid issues down the road. After closing, I have seen some issues with quality of workmanship and material in a short amount of time, which requires maintenance/warranty from the builder. Good thing is my builder's rep is very responsive and has been helping to address all issues I have. After these problems are taken care of, I am hopeful the property will last for a foreseeable future.

I am pleased with my new Centex home. I've only had minor disappointments in the quality of materials and workmanship, but considering the affordable price I think that is to be expected. The actual home-building process was fantastic with no issues or hang-ups.

Love our new home. All good except sod is terrible, worst of all the new homes

I have owned one before so I knew what to expect.

The first part of the process was smooth, visiting the place, getting information about the house, knowing the different options and prices. The loan processing was very difficult and we had to change the finance company. Many documents required until the last minute. Many of them did not meet their requirements. Hard time trying to convince them that we were trustworthy people. I suggest to ask all the questions as a buyer and look for the best option for yourself since you are the one putting the money and yoy know how far you can go. The buyer has rights also.

The grass was put down the water sprinkler was not turned on need to do better job with painting they dump out paint in your kitchen sink, but besides of that my house is beautiful
