Centex Homes Reviews

Overall we had a decent experience, and in the crazy housing market we were in, building a home was a much less stressful option. The salesperson was nice until we had an issue due to the interest rate increase. We worked it out with their manager who was much nicer. As far as the home itself, there is definitely some cheap workmanship and cut corners that don’t leave a great taste in our mouths. The seed and straw backyards are a joke, and nearly every home in the neighborhood has a crappy backyard. Plus, we still have issues that have yet to be repaired from closing, and have been told multiple times “we’ll have them call you”, which has not yet happened. The longer we’re in the home we’ve noticed a lopsided pony wall by the stairs, along with other little things that aren’t big deals but just feel cheap and could’ve been managed better. But, the plus side is that we have a new home in a nice area, and were able to get the square footage we wanted without paying an unreasonable price. Hopefully the warranty team satisfactorily helps with any issues that may arise over the next year and we’ll feel like it was worth it. ... More

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

The overall experience was good but the quality workmanship and materials is not so good. The doors, walls, paint and other materials is easily damaged or marked. This is the only part that is not good which definitely concerning. Thanks

Floors could be laid better pieces coming up.. the HOA is disgusting .. the trees are ugly and the lighting not over the address is stupid..

Happy with the serviceHappy with the service

Buying and sales experience was very smooth and construction manager was keep updating us throughout process. But we close last month and we already have a huge underground leak costing us high water bill. Warranty is very slow to respond and after multiple emails and calling on emergency numbers finally they start taking this leak seriously. I hope it gets fixed anytime soon.

I love my home but I do not like the paint used. Basically I will need to repaint the entire place. You can't clean the walls or doors because the paint is so cheap. Also beware of the sprinkler system. My 1st water bill was $379!

I have called the office regarding breaks/deep cracks in the garage that should be repaired before the cracks get larger. If I bought a car and didn’t see the dents until I got home, the car would be returned for another car or the dents repaired. I could put cement down to repair the cracks but I paid for a new house without cracks and holes. There is a space between the back of the kitchen cabinet and the wall. The back post was defective; it was taken down and replaced. For the 4th of July holiday there was no type of celebration for this community; the pool has not been opened and nothing has been said about when it will be available for the community to swim. I thought there would be flyers regarding community activities, but there has been nothing. ... More

Whoever approved the bathroom design, had no interest in quality. The cheapest paint is throughout the house. And around the tub. It can get wet or washes off of the wall. ?? Who approved this as a family home. White walls that you can not whipe clean? The finish work is terrible, chunks of debris painted into floor boards. Floor is rubber and thinner then card stock. Very disappointed in the quality of work. The lack of care or attention to detail is appalling. It would be nice if issues got addressed properly. Or done correctly the first time.

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

Very unhappy with the landscaping. The grass in both the front and back yard was and still very bad. Very disappointed.

Prior to closing everyone was quick in responding to emails and phone calls. Once we closed it became hard to contact builder. Thanks to our buyers realtor we had answers to questions and issues. We are still waiting for all issues listed prior to closing to be resolved. Buyers should consult a buyers realtor to help in looking for issues prior to closing. Several items that were observed after closing cannot to corrected. Buyers should go over their build carefully prior to closing.

A measure of a builder's success is the threshold between craftsmanship and time. Craftmanship is the detail quality of work, and time is the cost of building it. When time takes precedence over craftmanship, the outcome is loss of customer confidence, extended costs, and future revenue losses. Details matter.

The garage door was installed Improperly and we are still waiting on a replacement and cannot secure it. The A/C unit was wired wrong when we moved in and it did not work.

Friendly builder- have been waiting for 6 weeks but no communication about warranty issues so far. Builder took pride in workmanship and standards.

The experience was enlightening to me since I was able to visit the build site on a weekly basis. I saw some shoddy workmanship that bothered me, but amazingly was corrected quickly to produce a beautiful project thar satisfied my concerns.

Affordable houses in peaceful community

It’s very hard after closing to have workers return to finish all little items that were not complete before closing date. We are 6 weeks post closing and there are still several outstanding issues that should have been complete before closing.

Process was smooth and easy. Team members were helpful and walked me through the process. After moving in I am seeing low quality work specifically with the carpet, paint/caulk, drywall, and some woodwork.

Some parts gets easily broken. Overall just fine.

Overall very good experience. Only issue is certain requests have not been addressed timely post-close. Floor plan is great. Recommended.

Not a quality, sturdy, solid build that lasts 100yrs. Entry level quality with entry level materials. Other than that, construction team is excellent. Responds to each request promptly and takes care of it.

Home building experience was good but there are significant delays due to improper planning. There is last minute rush to complete things which impqcted quality in few places. Field manager is not at all responsive for the items identified as pending in the closing. Still have few items that need to be fixed.

Carter, building manager did great job meeting our requests.
