Centex Homes Reviews

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

We have a scheduled closing date but when we arrive we were told that it was change which wasted our time. Also, they keep changing the dates coz meter still not installed. We ended up paying extra cash on the date we close which was unsatisfactory.

As a whole, our home buying and building experience was good and I feel like we got a good value on our home. Construction was quick, and the construction and sale people were responsive, kind, and very helpful. As a whole, the quality of the home is good. There are a lot of minor issues that have stemmed from poor subcontractors; i.e. plumbing fixtures loose, some even off-center, a lot of paint spots that needed another coat or touch up, issues with the flooring that could have been easily avoided, the cleaners were practically non-existent despite coming out twice (literally had to clean off dirt footprints off of a closet door). If you buy from Pulte/Centex, I would say in the end you'll likely end up with a home you love, but DEFINITELY get a pre-drywall and final general inspection if able in order to catch any issues that could be more problematic. ...

It was easy processing For finances and home owners insurance . Wish needed more time for shopping other insurance companies to compare policy.

Still soon to review only a few weeks in

The home buying process, from a first time buyer experience, was overall smooth. There was some pressure to buy from the leasing office when we were not ready or if the items online did not match what was in the house. Overall, the home inspection went smooth and all of the items were address that we agreed upon.

The builder was professional and experienced.

We loved James from the office who showed us the house. I have had a hard time reaching the HOA with requests in possible upgrades since we have moved in. We sent warranty issues in and they originally wanted a video visit which I was not sure how that would go. Scott changed it to in person and made a list. He told me to send pictures of what else I found. He was transferred to another property since our meeting. Appointments made without being able to look our schedules. Unable to reach people to change appointments very difficult.

Good quality and communication. Recommend this.

Purchasing my first home seemed so relatively easy with the team that I had. No issues with that. My first month inside of the home I'm finding issues that I were not present during the final walk. Eliana from Pulte homes has been phenomenal though. She has been quick to get these issues fixed. But I'm finding others. The home was built fast and I guess it's settling in now that I am living in it. Some of the issues I can fix on my own but it goes to show the speed of the completed home.

The process itself was fine. I'm not as satisfied with the material used in the home.

We love our home. It is beautiful and the craftsmanship is good.

Overall it was a good experience. Wish I had more time for corrections and walk throughs. I still believe I would go through it all again because everyone that I have spoken to has always been willing to help.

Materials are used for kitchen and restrooms not strong enough.

it is okey but I had electrical issues.

Home is good overall, but there are definitely points of contention that show it was put together in a hurry for a quick turn around. A number of doors have pretty substantial gaps from the trim which is quite frustrating, and any touchups during our walkthrough seemed to be rushed as well. Rather than properly sanding to touch up, it was just painted over and not very well. Many paint drips on trim throughout the house, paint on the carpet in some areas etc. Builder repaired most issues pointed out through walkthrough, but some were answered with "Yeah, I'm not sure there's much we can do about that" ...

I bought the home in Centex. Staff is friendly but sometimes give false promises and ask for excuse. Home buying process is smooth but quality of the construction is not that great. I experience lot of wear and tear after my house closing which I didn’t expected. Quality was highly compromised.

Overall I had a positive experience in buying a home through Centex/Pulte. Our sales representative was very kind and helpful. We had a water intrusion event prior to closing and the team was very responsive and upfront with us. They also paid for all of the testing and remediation costs. The site manager Troy, was also extremely helpful and worked with us to make sure we were happy with our home. We have had some issues with our cabinets, lots of missed paint touch ups, poor caulking/sealing around baseboards and other cracks, and small cracks/lines in the drywall. We have also had some minor electrical issues, but those were easily repaired. Some of these are likely due to replacement after the water issue and probably not what would be normal in a regular build. That being said, given the price we paid it definitely felt like a lot of these issues should have been addressed. I would describe the quality overall as really good on the big stuff, but some corners were cut or the job was just done too quickly on the small things. Thankfully, we haven't run into anything that cant be fixed, and the warranty team, Marc, has been really great at getting things done. Probably the worst part in dealing with Centex has been their contractors using our water and putting trash on our property while building other homes in the neighborhood. I have had paint splashed on my exterior walls from their painters washing out paint with my spigot. However, that wouldn't be a concern if the homes near us were built already. Despite some of these negatives, I have already recommended a Centex home to a friend who is buying one and I would recommend their homes to others. The Centex/Pulte team has been super responsive with trying to address our issues and that has really gone a long way. ... More

Make sure to check interior painted walls after we moved in we found several paint runs. Also check finish work in master shower by window
