Centex Homes Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

I was greatly disappointed with Centex. While the models of homes I saw seemed built to standard and maximum code, I quickly discovered this to be false. In the Month of November when I arrived to ensure the framing, and roughed in plumbing and electrical were to code I discovered that Centex hires subpar “contractors” who disregard building safety code. Upon my inspection I’ve found broken beams that the plumbers left compromising the structure of my home. The building manager at the time was Tim and I was disturbed to learn that he wasn’t planning on replacing the beams if I hadn’t discovered them. Once the broken beams were replaced, I moved on to the exterior sheathing of the house. It was to my dismay that I discovered 30 nail holes where the “framers” missed the beam. Once again Tim was not going to caulk these holes in order to prevent water infiltration into my home had I not insisted this be done. Any quality professional in the trade would know this a non-negotiable fix. My “final” walk thru was January 31st 2020. At the beginning of the walk I discovered the vinyl siding was wavy and bubbled. When I pointed this out to Tom the new building manager his response was “there is nothing I can do about that it’s the nature of siding.” This comment further solidified that Centex does not value industry standards and quality building. During the interior walk I discovered that the main wall in the great room was so bowed in the middle that when I placed a level on it I was able to rock it back and forth. When I showed Tom this, he used what would be his now standard line “there is nothing I can do about that.” I explained to him that I would not close on the house until everything was perfect. He quickly back peddled and said “I’ll talk to my boss.” During my walk of the kitchen I found that “contractors” drilled straight thru cabinet with a screw. I told Tom about this and he said “that’s how Centex does it.” I reiterated that I am not closing on the house until it is perfect. He once again said “I’ll speak with my boss.” As you can see my overall experience with Centex was poor and I would highly recommend new home buyers to avoid them. There is glimmer of hope, while the building standards were nonexistent, I must give recognition to our sales Rep Ivey. Ivey was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. Ivey seems to be the only quality member of the Centex Team. ... More

The poor workmanship on the paint and wood work. Still dealing with issues . Never ends!!!

Daniel promises the world and nothing gets done! Terrible experience and I have bought 3 new homes prior to this and would not recommend Pulte to anyone! The sales rep only cared about selling not about us! She could not even bother to show up at the purchase meeting! She got her commission and walked away!! Still items on our punch list have not been completed to satisfaction!!! Terrible all the way!!
