Centex Homes Reviews in San Antonio, TX

Well when I saw my future house I didn’t see any errors or mistakes, but after just a couple days we my family and I started seeing many details and issues that the CENTEX/ PULTE trying to get them fixed, but was so many that at the end they quit and just send me to the normal way through guarantee.

Not great. From day one during walk through issues were found and pointed out. We had outside inspector come in and did property inspection. ( THIS SERVICE WAS DONE WHILE WE WRE STILL IN CALIORNIA.) Arriving here ln texas , many of the report from the inspection were still not corrected. NOT everyone involved during the process were incompetent. There would be some people in the administrative part and people in support services on repair definitely unqualified. I also feel that the person put in charge and oversee the repair is a very bias individual.

Experience was well. Our construction manager took the time to answer questions made sure our needs were met.

Overall experience: Loan process: good if you understand the home buying process, it was my first home so I ended up googling a lot of information as the loan processors weren’t necessarily proactive in providing all the needed details to understand next steps. Friendly people however. Construction: needs improved communication. Closing window kept on getting pushed with no communication, making it hard for buyers to schedule furniture or appliance deliveries around it. Workmanship, overall I feel I got the worse in quality. My father and family and myself of course were very dissatisfied and disappointed at the poor quality of the work. Lots of damaged and dented door frames and baseboards. The quality of the repairs isn’t much better necessarily. Many little visual repairs were pending plus I keep on finding more after 4 weeks in. Painters are definitely not professional, siding is not neatly cleaned. Window frames needed cleanup and painters stained walls and stones with their dirty brushes. Broken or damaged materials installed as if I was buying a non-new home. Warranties were presented to me after 3 weeks of moving in and it’s my understanding I didn’t get all the paperwork I should’ve, unless I’m overlooking something. Overall it’s been quite frustrating, lots of personal time invested in correcting things, bringing contractors in to fix issues, all while trying to work and putting my house together. Lots of guessing around services such as HOA registration and trash pick up. I love the neighborhood and the idea of what my home would look like if it was perfectly done. But honestly, I would let everyone know to be extra careful and more demanding of details, quality and communication before buying a home here. I can’t believe others have accepted this level of quality, I hope not. ... More

It is good but the quality of the material is not good the paint they used the composite walls they come off

Craftsmanship is terrible. A brand new construction looks like a horribly renovated home. The brand new construction we closed on looks like it's been lived in by squatters. It does not look brand new. Sales rep and construction manager were very helpful. They just needed a lot of following up. Other than that, they provided good customer service.

I was definitely in a rush to purchase a home and would recommend to anyone looking to purchase with centex to check check and check again. That goes for paperwork, construction, and craftsmanship in the home

Needs to focus more in final details

The construction manager was fabulous.

While the home is nice, we are starting to find minor to major issues which I will not type here. I will say that if I had to do it again I would get a home inspector before signing off on the final home inspection.

Workmanship can get better, there was a lot of areas that were different measurement such as windows. Several doors had large gaps on the bottom. The huge one for me was that there was no blinds at all in the home, it is very hard to find the all the measurements. there are over 10 windows in the home.

The build quality is not there most of the workers are drinking during the day no supervision project managers just come and unlock the house in the morning and lock it up in the evening they do not check every time a stage of the build is finished they wait till the end of the build I've never seen them punch any blue tape on the second floor homes exterior so I guess it's just what they can see at ground level on there exterior walk for imperfections both my exterior hose faucets were not secure to the 2x4 and my master bathroom leaked into my downstairs bedroom they forgot to tighten the connection to the pipe shoty work because lack of supervision landscape laid right on top of your weeds no tilling my tree died already they said there's no warranty on landscape me and my neighbor got the same keys for our homes so I went and purchased my own they said no reimbursement could be made for me were the quality and the stand behind pledge? ...

The lack of attention to detail takes the joy out of owning a new home.

The finishing isn't that great.

Centex homes are great starter homes but you must stay on top of construction to make sure every thing is correct.

Make sure u run the water all at the same time to make sure the plumbing was done correctly and don’t have issues

A few minor stuff that needed to be fixed, but everything is being addressed. Thanks to the maintenance team for all their work.

So many things wrong. Even thing that were blue taped at final walk through weren’t finished. Have been ghosted by warranty rep. Be ready for a fight.

The sales and supervisors we worked with were great to work with. However, the craftsmanship in the house is pretty terrible. Cheap carpet and floors. Terrible paint jobs inside and out. Everything inside the house looks like it was done by someone who does not take pride in their work.

Back yard is not leveled, it looks like everyone was in hurry and they supposed to work the way they built 2 years ago.

The entire process was smooth for the most part. The builder did transition between building managers so we had a few communication break downs. The biggest area of opportunity for them is the landscape and sod installation. I am not happy with the sod being delivered brown and sitting for a few days, no top soil used, and the landscapers laying it down on rock without racking it out

A lot of bad details

Windows, garage door, yard, just the overall experience that i went through to buy the house left a sour taste in my mouth and even the realtor would choose the same. I wouldnt do it again

The trades and people who physically worked on the house was very poor quality and needed to be redone multiple times throughout the whole build process. The land scape was very poor to the point where most of it need to be redone and paid for by the home owner (myself). That includes uneven bed lines around mulched areas, the dirt that was used to level and grade the yard was extremely poor quality (rocks all throughout yard) and uneven when grass was laid making mowing and yard work very difficult. This was the same impression throughout the neighborhood, also the sprinkler system was done terribly (whoever did it shouldn’t be doing sprinkler systems period). My build manager did the best job he could with what he had and this review should not negatively impact him. ... More

Cheap light fixtures and plumbing fixtures. No top grade placed before laying a poor quality bermuda grass on the yard. Developer (Pulte/Centex) doesn't take care of it's designated land (sidewalks, berms, drainage area). No homeowner representation on HOA.
