Centex Homes Reviews

We love our home and know that there are growing pains with any new home/car/etc. However, when it's been almost a month since the 30 day inspection and things still haven't been taken care of, I'd say the after care is seriously lacking. The buying experience was awesome! The builder before hand was awesome. It was after that we've had a few issues. Everyone we'd dealt with has been wonderful! Just not as responsive to problems as I would like.

Could use some work on the response time when requesting a work order

Poor workmanship leads to do overs...do it right 1st time..workers need closer supervision.. Job site supervisor did all they could too control the situations... Do over is not restricted to 1 area. It’s in dry wall , paint, electric, brick work, landscape etc.. However, when noted corrective action is taken..

Just make sure everything you want gets done on time

Good home for the price

Although my field manager during this project was excellent! I feel some stuff should be done by the builder to guarantee their homes and property. I feel their sales team lacked assistance during my built and I wasnt even given a tour of the facility which made me almost rethink my purchase... overall my home is awesome with some minor issues and I hope the warranty can commit to fixing asap besides that its a beautiful home!!!

All staff have been very nice. I find the craftsmanship of the home to be lacking. It’s the fine details. My ceiling is crooked. The exhaust vents in the bathrooms were installed very loose. The chalking all around the house just looks like a child laid it. The flooring adhesive is all over the place. There’s more but I’m done for now.

My experience with Centex was better than most due to Kim & Travis. Kim, my sales person was exceptional. She was very professional & went out of her way to help me bring this to fruition. Travis, my point person for the building of the home went above and beyond to correct any issues with the home. He truly wanted us to be happy with our home. I would give them both 5 stars if that was an option. The reason "Trustworthiness" got only 1 star is because one of the sales supervisors for Sanctuary Cove tried to cancel my ratified contract prior to the expiration date of the contract which was quite shocking and upsetting. With regards to workmanship, It was disappointing to realize Centex does not finish the walls in the garage; and I don't mean painting. The homeowner has to first spackle & sand the seams to finish the walls if they want to paint the garage. Centex also disappointingly installs smaller interior doors than most builders and the quartz for the kitchen counter tops is very thin. They provide no towel bars, toilet paper holders and there are no knobs on the kitchen or bathroom cabinets. Most would not consider these things as "upgrades" but rather standard items. Centex also installs their sod right up to the house instead of leaving a "bed" area around the home between the sod/lawn and the foundation. Centex might consider either just increasing the price of the home a little and provide these things or at least offer them as an option to the homeowner at an additional cost. What will it be next; homeowners will have to provide their own light bulbs and door knobs? The pandemic is over, the supply chain issues are no longer so maybe it's time to go back to the days of offering home buyers some options without having to go the route of a custom home. ... More

The quality is not that great. For e.g. the door between garage and entrance to the room had a gap at the bottom and same as in the front entrance door.

Good experience with Blake, very professional for a smooth moving transition. Quality materials/Finishes need to be improve

The loan process and the information requested was way out of line. For example, the house was going to be completed, my wife was moving into the new home but I was going to stay with my son for 2 months until my job was resolved. The loan personal wanted me to get a letter from my son, stating I can stay with him for 2 months, rent free. REALLY.

Outside of the buying experience, which was amazing, and working with the builder, who was on site at the time everything else has been very poor quality. I have several issues or just the ongoing with no timelines and no consistent. Follow up. I’m hoping things improve, but I have already had to spend quite a bit of my own personal money which may not get reimbursed to get things working like my garage door like my washing machine like my security system on and on and on. And for the record, the siding and landscaping was done horribly to begin with, and it shows to this day, which means I will have to spend more money to get that corrected. And all I’m not too unhappy with my purchase. I’m grateful things could be better. I hope my input will be used to spare of the next homeowners the same headaches thank you. ... More

We purchased a home that was already close to being finished so our experience is only on the back end. The staff as a whole are very good, friendly, and supportive. However the sub contractors they use to build their homes is poor; contractors they hire do not take pride in their work and it shows everywhere in the home. I understand it's a business so they try to find the cheapest contractor, but at some point there needs to be some venting for QA as the price we pay should reflect the quality of work which due to the people the hire to build the homes isn't there. Once again the staff is amazing, just the workers they hire is not good at all. Suggest buyers who plan to buy a home get one built from the ground up so they can monitor every single detail as the build is going up as buying a home halfway/at the finish line I wouldn't recommend. ...

I was very pleased with overall home buying experience from sales to construction managers explaining everything in detail for the first time home buying experience. As we did the first walk through and now living in the house, there is a lot of spot where the finishing is not satisfactory overall but I will be filling work order soon to fix some of them. I would rate 3/5 for house itself and 4.5/5 for the buying experience.

Because of the market trend, although Centex reduced prices of the homes that were to be delivered in Dec 2022 but they also reduced the quality of the electronic items they gave us and looking at bathrooms, living room it tells me that they tried to do cost cutting in quite a few places. The Eletrical Range, Dishwasher thats given to us looks to be open box as they both have issues opening and closing doors/drawers and the logo is half cut.

Appointments for electricians made twice. Both times subcontractor failed to come to home to fix electrical issues. Third appointment is next week. No confidence electrician will show up. Centex warranty program is empty words thus far.

Overall, it was a good buying experience and up to this point the core structure/ home appears good but as we have settled in we have notice a lot of little things that your eyes aren't drawn to during walk throughs. Additionally, we continually voiced concern about the lawn and didn't get it fixed before hand, I think they honestly used a terrible and cheap lawn provider who didn't do a good job. Overall, felt the price was too high but that's probably a sign of the market and times. They were able to offer a last minute discount but in my opinion it was still overpriced from there but every house we looked at during that time was the same. ... More

We had a great experience. I wish the quality of workmanship was better. The field manager, Brandon, has been attentive and helpful through the whole process.

Still have pending items that weren't completed at closing. Have scheduled contractors but no one ever shows up. The one contractor that did show up didn't call ahead and so we werent ready for them that day. Have been changed to 3 different reps in 1 month. This is a bit insane, slightly unethical, and I wish someone would step up and take responsibility for the fact that our supervisor was fired the week we closed, we have unfinished work all over, and no one has been a leader to follow through with the commitment to complete these items in a few weeks.

Buying experience is okay and no hassle. The post closing experience is fine. Its a little slow to get response but no major complaints.

The home buying experience went well but the issues highlighted in my engineer’s pre closing inspection were not all addressed when we were told that they had been corrected, When we did the post closing walk through the condition of the floors was disgusting also the windows had not been cleaned. My summation is Centex could and should pay more attention to the condition of the home before turning it over to the purchaser this experience has not given us any faith in anything a Centex representative says.

The sales and closing team were a breeze to work with and provided great value to the experience. Some issues with the process include a lack of flexibility for any options (such as using alternative light switches), and issues that were noticed and pointed out during the construction process not being acknowledged until final walk through, (a framing issue would have been better to fix when noticed before hanging sheetrock so all the texture matches). And 6 weeks after the closing there are still outstanding issues now in warranty that have yet to be resolved. That being said, the floor plan is nice, the issues aside, overall construction of the house appears to be solid, the neighborhood is lovely, ... More

Recently I moved to Centex home at WinnRidge. The home buying process was smooth but the quality of the house is not up to the mark. The carpet is very thin and everywhere nails are there. Asked to fix the same but the manager told if they fix the nails it will remove the warranty. Really not happy with the process and product quality.

Overall the experience was ok. Quality of the materials used was poor. Also the whole house inside was painted with a flat paint not a semi gloss. We had to repaint the whole house. We have been in the house a little over a month and the fence is falling apart. Not good

Some parts gets easily broken. Overall just fine.
