Centex Homes Reviews

The house is perfectly built but it was delayed by a month.

Well. build.

Make sure everything is correct before closing. Sod, plants, paint, blinds,floors, ect

These are nice homes for first time home owners. The communication is lacking when fixing issues. I still have yet to have my dining room window replaced. Also there are noticeable blemishes i.e. not straight corners— you can tell they are slightly warped when they get closer to the floor. And some blue tape items have yet to be fixed and I closed on my home 2/14/20. It is now 3/30/20. But otherwise, the price is good and the no closing costs and USDA option is amazing for first time home buyers. Overall I would recommend the Windrow community to others looking into buying a home. It’s very quiet and pleasant. No crazy drivers or neighbors so far. And there’s a nice public park across the street. I do however wish there was going to be a pool built in the subdivision. Unfortunately it isn’t in the plan to do so. ... More

the contractor was great to work with . He was made sure all our concern was handle with care.

The house is great but they need to improve the initial quality

There were no major issues. Everything we asked for was resolved in a timely manner after a few attempts

Good.

Only complaint is where they placed the AC Unit in comparison to the bedroom window when they could have easily chosen another spot that is not so intrusive.

After moving in the new home we found issues that should have been addressed during construction. Paint and door trim work is not great quality. AC design for first floor has been faulty as a result of which two rooms on first floor stayed warm and had to log in issue to warranty department. Toilet seats are already chipping off color within 2 weeks as cheap quality was used. Door bell and main door lock had to be replaced. These are few but takes time and effort on in owner and builder to fix things again. Suggest that builder pays attention to quality of construction and even minor details need to be addressed prior to closing. ... More

Overall satisfactory

The honebuying experience was ok. I like the ones stop shop experience. So far everything is good. A few issues with some electrical issues ...a few other things but OK.

good experience in buying process

I dealt with Pulte Mortgage and bought a Centex home. Con: the two companies (two parts of the same company?) do not communicate with each other very well resulting in miscommunication to me. Pulte, within weeks of closing, sold my mortgage creating confusion as to whom and when to make monthly payments. Pro: The home itself is structurally sound, had minor defects which were corrected. The home warranty service appears to be adequate. I called once and the response was satisfactory. Jeff, the construction representative, was informative and helpful. I was not involved in the design process. I purchased a move-in ready home. He worked with my home inspector to ensure items on the inspection list were dealt with. ... More

It’s a beautiful home Home buying process was smooth But mortgage team was not easy to work with

I am already having issues with the garage.

Beautiful home. Thankful to have a home to move into. Would like a larger yard.

Sales experience with Ryan was great. Mortgage team was aggressive to the point of harassing and not competitive with offerings. Pulte/Centex contracts out the work to companies employing individuals that either lack craftmanship skills or have no pride in their work. ESPECIALLY the paver company, finish work, drywall work and the grading of property and the sod placement. The kitchen appliances are of horrible quality. Whirlpool Customer Service is horrible Site Manager Shawn and Warranty site contact Brittnay are quick to respond and genuinely seem to care.

The over all purchase was easy and seamless. They stayed in contact the entire time. There were a few issues that were found and micheal the project manager did help me. But the backyard was left a mess with trash from the builders. The grass that was placed in the front yard is patchy because the landscapers brought dead grass. I watered as much as I was supposed to. And paid someone to come flatten it so it would actually grow. There was no effort out in with that grass. Everything else was pretty good. It’s a good home overall.

Inspect your home way before you close, otherwise, I would buy from Centex again.

All new home buyers are encouraged to check on their new build, frequently, to ensure dates are met, promises are kept and things are on track to close as documented.

Overall, we have had a great experience! We enjoy our home, the location, and the amenities, such as a park and walking trails. All of the Centex employees have been wonderful to deal with. However, we are disappointed in the number of large property management companies who have been allowed to buy up the entire neighborhood. Unfortunately, this means we do not have long-term families in the neighborhood. Hopefully, centex will consider families when selling the homes that remain unsold.

It seems in comparison to other new builds in the area, the house size/location is competitive but not the materials for the pricepoint. They cut corners in the finished product. I hope the 1-year warranty covers the finishing touches that were not done well. However, they did work with me and made closing dates very very flexible and were extremely communicative.

What I would say is to check EACH appliance to make sure it works. We purchased a washer and dryer, the dryer had the WRONG part hooked up so we had call them back out. The new oven didn't work over Thanksgiving, had to call for service and the ovens heating element WAS NOT plugged in. Had to use a roaster for our dinner for the holiday. But we will give 4 stars overall

My experience with the sales team and their preferred lender was absolutely excellent. Most of the issues we have experienced are on the construction side. Corners cut all over the place, some rooms had to be completely redone with carpet and trim, the final walkthrough process was high-pressure to get you to sign off that the house is 100% done even though there were plenty of glaring flaws to still fix. Please bring an inspector with you on your walkthroughs.
