Centex Homes Reviews in Houston, TX

They overall finish quality was rushed and detail work was not so great. For the price these house are being sold they are not worth it. I regret making the decision to make this my families first house and if i could leave i would. I am not happy in this house and by what the website reviews show nobody else who purchased one of these over priced fast rushed crappy detail work is happy. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!

Vendor was no help at all. Lack of information and assistance through the process and post closing was none.

The overall experience in buying a house was horrid thanks to the staff of Pulte mortgage. This was my first experience of buying a house and it was hellish. From issues with negligence and predatory lending behavior to just plain being rude, snarky, and highly unprofessional by multiple members. I had fees upcharged and added to my CD that were NEVER agreed to even when the staff tried to pull "per our negotiations" but tried to ignore WRITTEN agreements on what was stated. I was also told I should just sign the CD even with the charges because I'm still coming ahead with the incentive bonus. The 5k by no means makes you come ahead that was an incentive by YOUR company to help with closing cost so in the long run it's the company's money period. I also NEVER received an apology by staff for the issues and NEVER received a call from the supervisors to speak about the behavior of their staff. I will NEVER use Pulte mortgage ever again and I will never recommend anyone to use them. Now in regards to the home it's self it's lovely I do have a few issues with carpet nor touching the wall fully leaving holes open for critters, some concrete chipping, and cracks on the wall from the house settling but I have a lovely experience with my field manager Chris. He was extremely professional and quick to address issues. He also tried to assist me with the issues I was having the mortgage company. He truly went above and beyond in his duties. Morgan was the warranty guy and he did a great job explaining everything. ... More

I have to say that everyone else was absolutely amazing. Roger, Joshua and a guy from Pulte when I did my final walk through with were all amazing. The house is well built, haven’t had any real issues. The people I have interacted with were top top notch people. Except for one, the sales guy named Dwight. First time meeting him was great! Good impression. Promised to stay in touch in regards to the house being finished. It started getting of track when he got my realtors email incorrect. Then it just snowballed from there. He stopped communicating, he didn’t respond to phone calls, texts or emails from myself or from my realtor. We met with him a few more times and she had to yell at him to get him back on the ball. Which he didn’t. Fast forward, I got a lot of incentives for paying cash. I was more interested in another home than the one I wanted. My realtor talked to Dwight and he absolutely REFUSED to honor the online price of 289,000 plus my incentives. He kept telling us it was 297900. The website CLEARLY had it listed at 289,000 and I even sent a screenshot and was given a bunch of excuse from him and his manager that they won’t honor the price. If they would have, I would have bought it and would be happy. Now, because that house is next door to mine, I see it constantly and am reminded of Dwight’s shady business practices. It finally sold the other day. For $249,000. Two grand more than what I paid for my house. I’m so angry that I’m planning on moving next year. Never want another centex house. This was my second cash house and I don’t think I want to even buy another house. ... More

Lenders are not professional enough for the financial process of buyers lives while they work through the process together so use outside funds for this neighborhood

Very unorganized, still waiting on repairs.

I started out with happiness and then it went to, "got the sale nothing more for homeowner". I have been in my new home for 2 months and unable to to get weatherstipping on 2 entry doors. One door had none from the start and still waiting, the other was in pieces and needed to be replaced, still waiting. Took a month to get someone to fix my garage entry door due to the fact it would not close to lock. I have submitted 3 service request and emails asking to fix these items. So, my experience has not been a smily face for a new homeowner.

Our point of contact was horrible and the building process was very slow. Really disappointing when other homes that started after ours, were completed before. Our closing date was moved almost 1.5 months.

Because I didn’t use their lender and title company very hard time to obtain the keys

Centex home put me onto pulte mortgage to use as a lender who were very misleading and deceptive. When asked for a refund it took 4 months to receive my money back for appraisal and credit being ran. The centrex office wasn't very helpful in how tonresolve this issue and said they'd take it out of the closing cost which didn't happen. The builders themselves have been very helpful and have come by to fix things that weren't quite right or missing without a problem and have been the best part about the process

We love our home. Dislike the process. Final closing figures was not what was on the actual document. Slow to respond asked for the same documents several times when they already had it. Poor communication between the different departments that should be working together. The bad outweighed the good here.

It is very difficult to reach anyone for help. Pulte is not very good at responding to your needs.

Extremely poor communication, already found problems in the home within the first month.

I just spent a month in this new home but I have experienced much trouble with a lot of things not working. The first thing I experienced the second day of packing in was the microwave got damaged. Air conditioning system was not properly designed for 2 of the rooms as it does not circulate air. Electrical faults and leakage at the kitchen sinks. Too bad.

My yard was never graded correctly and it has caused my back yard CLOSEST to my patio to become a swamp. I was told that as long as the water wasn't standing after 24 hrs that it was fine. I can't even walk through my gate to my back yard a WEEK after it rains because it's still a mud hole. You can see with the naked eye that there are spots that would hold water because of the way it was graded. Like pools graded into my yard. I submitted a request for the repair almost a month ago and still have not had repairs done. They sent someone out, marked the areas, and never came back.

Paint everywhere in the home. Floorboards are always coming up. Standing water in backyard. Uneven structures inside home.

I wish I had a better salesman, my luck, I got Greg! He never communicated what was going on.

Door was left unlocked upon moving the first day no keys or lock. Almost a month later I'm still dealing with non finished items from contractor. My salesperson didn't even double check the home prior to me moving in nor gave me neighborhood info until I asked.

It’s a Good House when you’re outside, Looking at it, But when you look in every detail inside the house you will see lots of problem, the doors are not properly aligned door jamb and all the woods have damage/dents, the concrete slab at the back of the yard is deteriorating, flood on both side of the house, no street light even we reported it to centerpoint, field manager never replied to your txt about your concern, contractor really rush to build the house

The people from the warranty not respond to the orders plus when with did the second walk around they didn't fix anything from the first walk plus the second walk they didn't fix again everything what with mark and we have to leave to do paper work for the house and at the time to come back to the house they didn't fixed that is my experience from you company late respond plus not fix what they promise to fix

The craftsman ship of their workers was bad. I never seen or heard of using caulk as a boarder once floors are laid, what happened to the quarter round strips, paint spots throughout home on the cheap, thin vinyl flooring and carpet. It just goes on.. what happened to quality of work and good craftsmanship.

Bad experience. Workers didn't do a good job holes on walls.in garage and inside the house and in laundry room.

Centex has not been a good experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming in the beginning, but they are not to be trusted. They force you to close before everything is correct and they tell you it’ll be no problem to get it fixed. Once you reach out, it’s hard for them to fix it. They cut corners and try to make you feel like you’re stupid or wrong for asking them to fix it. If I’m paying this much for a house, I would like it to be done correctly. Maybe they were rushing or maybe the contractors weren’t being supervised properly by the construction managers. I’m not the only one who’s had bad experiences. After talking to my neighbors, I quickly learned that I was not alone regarding my dissatisfaction. ... More

Great home

Terrible.. never have I ever had such a terrible experience buying a house. This is my third one and by far the worst one . No one returns phone call , everyone waits till the last minute to ask for this or that. Talked to a cpl neighbors and basically had the same experience. If it wasn’t for having so much time invested in it, I would have backed out and went else where.
