Customer Reviews

Poor attention to detail, messy, sloppy work.

I regret buying not learning more about the builder before buying the house. Regrettably, I was rushed into buying it and now regret not taking more time to decide. The workmanship of the house is awful, it was built very fast and it shows. I would have been better off going with a better builder and spending more money because now I’m spending more money to repair bad workmanship. Biggest regret of my life.

House was super dirty and paint was in a lot of my carpet they didn’t even clean. My bath tube is turning pink with 3 week use. Had to claim warranty to get trim and Cabinet fix and I shouldn’t have to do this on my first month move in. I had to walk the house 3 time with Lily and still didn’t get anything fix I don’t know why she wast my time and now I still have to get warranty to come out to fix it.

The process of building our home was so smooth, if we ever had any request they would respond and act of them fast. they made sure we were happy with how our home was being built and they explained the whole process. They also completed it in the timeline they had told us. Really pleased with the whole process and Home.

Building is Sound

The building of the property appears sound. The materials used reflect the price paid and we are satisfied with the results. The builder was responsive when we were doing our final walkthroughs and identifying areas to touch up.

As a homebuyer of Centex homes, I was satisfied with the work of the builder. I had a third party inspector and the builder’s findings matched my third party inspection results. Had a strong peace of mind throughout the entire build process.

Overall a good experience. Jarrod and Izzy were very attentive and respectful. Gave very insightful information about my first home and made it well worth the wait. Had a few issues but they were quick to resolve them. Couldn't have asked for better service. Thank you to those two Gentleman & Centex for providing top notch service. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Great support from the building manager. Issues were paint droppings on floor, clogged shower drain, leaking spigot in bath tub. Really bad leak in the irrigation. I am still trying to figure out the continued wetness on side of house. We have an unsightly hose coming from house for A/C drainage. I'm sure there is a few more items but perhaps I'll address them at a later time.

Great value, a few isolated issues

Overall, the value of the home is great. It's a starter home but you get what you pay for and we are happy to be in it. We have had a few issues along the way where the options weren't laid out to us and we would have done some things differently. If I were to do it again, I'd buy with Centex but I'd make sure I asked about every little thing possible instead of trusting them to take me through it all.

A great realtor

  • Lottia W.

My realtor Brian O’Connor of Realty Austin is the best of the best! I don’t know if I would have found the right house and made it to the closing table without him! I love the location of my home I was intentional about living further out. The builder so far so good and I paid for a private inspection and minimal things had to be addressed. I wish there was a little more sound quality taken into consideration when building these homes for example the study I’m using as an office and at 4 when the kids get home from school in the neighborhood it’s hard to take a meeting because of their ...

Good, but not Perfect

I loved my building experience with Centex. They did a great job keeping me in the loop and addressing my concerns. I have had less success with the warranty team. They don't really schedule jobs with you after you indicate an issue so I've gotten several calls unexpectedly with them waiting outside the door while I'm at work. It's been like pulling teeth to get them to give me an actual date or time.

Quick, quality build- simple errors

  • Alice W.

We love our home! Now that we’ve been living in it for a month, the rose colored glasses have faded and we’ve begun noticing the lack of attention to little details- many scratches/dents on cabinetry in kitchen that have been colored over with wood paint, caulk touch up needed where tile meets baseboard & some smaller repairs that they’ve already attended to. Overall, if these are the only issues we’ve found so far- we’re in good shape. Knowing their guarantee/warranty of 1 year when they’ll come back through and repair any issues let’s me rest easier at night.

The customer service at Centex has been top-notch. Every person we've worked with has been responsive and taken our concerns seriously. The overall quality seems good, but we've noticed minor quality issues (mostly cosmetic) since moving in. These include imperfections in trim that were painted over, bubbles in grout, crooked screws in fixtures, etc.

I am pleased with my new Centex home. I've only had minor disappointments in the quality of materials and workmanship, but considering the affordable price I think that is to be expected. The actual home-building process was fantastic with no issues or hang-ups.
