Centex Homes Reviews

I have already written a 3 page letter and sent to multiple Centex/Pulte reps.

Its a nice house but definitely could have been done better. Lots of details that could have been done better. I have had to call several times already for repairs and work and I have just been here less than 2 months.

This was a great experience but a long process due to shortages.

Centex is a great builder.

Overall great experience!! They assist you with your home every step of the way!

Our contractor WES was Awsome always keeping us updated on the building process. If we had a question and would reach out to him. He would respond to text Immediately and answered every phone call. Centex homes are good quality with a great price. Teaming with Pulte centex has really gone up in quality.

The house itself is built decently. Obviously I know that there will be little things here and there and it is a process to get things sorted out over the course of a couple months while the house settles but the trades companies that this company employees to handle electricity, HVAC and tiling/drywall make me believe that they have no idea what they are doing. We have had so many issues related to trade work its not funny. While issues are being sorted out along the way the fact that we moved into a "New" home and had light switches not work or missing floor boards and sinking floors is inexcusable. I understand that cosmetic things like tiles uneven and shotty paint work is expected and that is ok but having your HVAC system not working correctly in FL is something I would expect to have sorted out. All in all the house and CENTEX did a good job but my issues lies with their outsourced work. ... More

Great experience designing our home.

Katy the construction manager it's so professional and very good person

It was a long process due to delay of windows. Started with the framing when they had weak corners, poor bracing. Installed portions of the roof in the dark, I see roof sheathing plywood popping out in the neighborhood Cabinets installed 45 days before the house was climate controlled Patio cement is already cracked. The Pulte work sites are horrible. Trash and waisted supplies every where

I purchased my first house as I wanted satisfaction and not to have to worry about anything . my closing date was in mid July. and only thing I found is problem in house . Poor workmanship Flooring is coming out in office and kitchen. water leaking in basement . in front yard they have digged up and I am still waiting for new grass seeds after 40 days not happy . I would not recommend

Our overall new home build experience has not been a good one with Centex/Pulte. I want to start off with the fact that key contacts for us changed during the build process. First our Sales Consultant changed halfway through the build and then our construction manager changed. Overall, we did not have a problem with Lisa on the sales side but when Ana was our Agent she put the primary cell phone number for us incorrectly, so throughout the entire process our build, the building managers, mortgage company, title company, and whoever else had our number wrong which delayed multiple things. It was very frustrating. The construction side is another story. We started out with Javi who was excellent. Javi was transparent about the house, he was great at communicating, was realistic about everything, most even most importantly, Javi took our conversations serious and remembered things we spoke about and would actually address them after we would speak. If things were delayed he was honest and gave us real expectations, something we absolutely appreciated and the only thing we could ask for during this process. We never had that type of service since he was moved off our house. Halfway through our build, our construction manager changed to Zach. For starters- THIS SHOULD NEVER OCCUR. This is the point that our major issues began to arise. At first things were going okay with Zach, he was keeping us updated for the most part with the house. I was coming to the house every week and seeing how it was going and then I would get with Zach on what issues we were concerned about. It seemed like they were being addressed. Around the time the walls started coming up and when the cabinets came in, things changed. On multiple occasions my wife and I would meet or speak with Zach, go over multiple issues, and he would assure us that it would be addressed and would say “I will have my best guys fix it” yet they would not be addressed weeks later. This occurred with countless issues with the house. Zach rarely documented anything during our walk throughs and would maybe address 1 out of 10 problems every time we would speak and we would have to remind him again over and over on issues with the house. About a month before our projected closing date of June 24th, a major leak occurred in the ceiling of the kitchen. This flooded the first floor of the house and damaged multiple walls, kitchen cabinets, the guest room, pantry, and storage closet. We came to the house after Zach contacted us and he let us know they would be taking care of it immediately and we should still be good for a closing date of June 24th. We let him know it is very important that we know asap if our closing date is changing because we had to let our current landlords know if we are needing to resign our lease for July. We would’ve been happy to do this if he would’ve given us this expectation and realistic and honest answer, but Zach assured us the home would be completed in June and by the 24th, so we advised our landlord that we didn’t need to rent for July. We came by the house every week and for 3 weeks there were stagnant water. We called to ask what was being done and by week 3 were concerned about mold because the water was STILL there. They worked on the leak, remove the damaged walls after 3 weeks from the flood occurring. We show up at the house after week 2 of the flood and there was finally a machine but the tube sucking up the water was just on the floor in the downstairs bathroom and the water from the kitchen and guest room now flooded the bathroom and was leaking into the garage. I asked Zach what is going on and he said they had left the windows open over the weekend to let it dry, but it had been raining for over 2 weeks in Boerne, so everything got wet again. In addition to this, the machine was now leaking water on the floor instead of draining in the bathtub. All of their hard work removing walls and drying the house and the house was flooded all over again due to their negligence and NO ONE CHECKING ON THE HOUSE TO ENSURE THINGS WERE GOING PROPERLY WITH THE TRADESMAN. With less than 1 week to close and being guaranteed by Zach that they we would still close in time, our house was not prioritized at all and we felt lied to and very disrespected during these last 2 months of the process. During the final walk through before closed, Zach took pictures of all the issues left on the house on the Friday before we closed. He kept forgetting our closing date and we had to remind him at least 6 times because he would repeat it back incorrectly. He stated they would be working on everything over the weekend(this was something he had been promising us for weeks, that he and his crew would be working weekends to ensure our house would catch up and close on time) since we were closing the following business day, Monday 6/28. Nothing was done over that weekend. In addition, Zach advised us that he had dropped his phone in the river over the weekend tubing with his family and lost the pictures from our final walk through. Extremely unprofessional and disrespectful at such a crucial time in the process of us having to close and move in the very next day with countless items still needing to be done with the house. This is the point that I wrote the sales team and had them give me Peters information because I no longer trusted that our house would be completed after we closed. We were given 2 days to move out of our rental house and move into a house that still wasn’t finished. Weeks after close and we still had people coming in and out to fix things. The garage was installed incorrectly and crashed down on the ground when it was rising, incredibly dangerous and upsetting. Where are we today? We closed around 2 months ago and our house is still not finished. Involving Peter did not prioritize our home. I have a back door that was replaced finally but still needs to be painted. I have 1 more page of feedback & not enough characters. ... More

They provide great customer service and are always available to answer any questions.

We came to New Braunfels TX needing a home. It was stressful with a new job and pregnant wife. Melissa helped relieve the stress by finding us a home and getting us moved in within our time window! With houses in high demand we were pleased to find a home. Thank You to Melissa and Austin in the Elley Crossing sales office. Brett made sure our house was ready at closing. This team did a good job with our home!

I'm moving date we had a water leak. Carpet how to get pulled up tack strips padding for the car pickup pulled up how to cut out sheetrock in 3 different rooms. And the house is very dirty when we moved in I'm going to make my second payment and stuff has still not all been fixed

Wonderful house I bought, NO cons . Thanks

Was kept up to date on my homes progress.

The internal design and use of space is excellent.

Thank you for amazing home buying experience

The builder Stephen was very friendly knowledgeable and helpful. Communication with the builder was perfect and easy. We love our house. The only inconvenience was the hardwood floors that need to be repair and some problems with the water heater. Overall Stephen was a great help! So far the best builder I’ve ever known.

We not really happy the first day all two bathrooms sinks was leaking, and we still wherein for people come finish to paint and fixed the garage door

We had bad experience every possible way thanks

Tyler helped allayed my fears, he also made sure I’m attended to as promptly as I have questions raised. They helped in getting the building ready to meet up with closing time. First time home and it’s a wonderful experience for me in the end. Liked the house more and more with everyday I spent in it

If you want good house without much lavish for a decent price and good construction quality, centex is the place. Sales and construction staff are great.
