Centex Homes Reviews in San Antonio, TX

We had a great experience from the beginning of the home buying process right up to closing. Our project manager was very responsive to any issues that arose and made sure to explain the process thoroughly.

It was a good experience for a first time buyer. Jeff, Andrew, and Philip were great. They were always available to help & made sure we were satisfied with everything.

The whole process took longer than originally anticipated but everyone involved is very attentive and kept me up to date.

Centex was able to provide a quality house, but most importantly all the personnel that I worked with from sales, construction manager, loan processors, and warranty were so willing to assist and make sure we were taken care off.

We built our home during a very difficult time with supply shortages, delays, a pandemic, etc.. When all was said and done, Centex stood by us, and helped us to obtain our home. This is not just a house. It is where we will make memories, celebrate life and its ups and downs, and I feel that our building manager (Jared) and Centex knows that, and it shows in their sincere actions.

Condition of sod can be a problem.

Overall a good to near great experience. Only two recommendations and one complaint. Recommend that the stove vent actually vent outside. Recommend additional lighting in the bathrooms. My only complaint is the vinyl flooring. Cheap quality. Dents, scratches and tears way too easily.

Our site manager made our build much easier to manage. He was very timely and would respond to almost all of my questions within a few hours. I appreciate the sales office as well, they made it a very smooth transition.

We came to New Braunfels TX needing a home. It was stressful with a new job and pregnant wife. Melissa helped relieve the stress by finding us a home and getting us moved in within our time window! With houses in high demand we were pleased to find a home. Thank You to Melissa and Austin in the Elley Crossing sales office. Brett made sure our house was ready at closing. This team did a good job with our home!

I like my weekly updates that was great. I had a few issues when I moved in but everything’s been taken care of. I was very upset that at signing I didn’t get a hold of Big key or take pictures or get a welcome basket...lol I’m not very happy with the neighborhood there’s just way too many cars all over the street it’s ridiculous how you always having to pull to the side so somebody else can pass. I even paid more for my premium lot so I wouldn’t have neighbors in front of me and the neighbors down the street park all their company vehicles all right in front of my home. And most of all I was very upset with the monthly fees from the water company out here I don’t think I would’ve bought the house if I would’ve known that. ... More

All of the staff at Elley crossing have been very helpful throughout the entire home building process.

We like the area. Not in city limits

Good service

Centex was great to work with throughout the home construction and purchasing process. We love our new home and many of the features are excellent. We would have liked to have other options for some of the finishes (faucets, lights, etc.), and we never received a paint touch up kit which we were told was something everyone would be given. We were also given a tree in our backyard that began to die and lose its leaves within two days of its installation, although there is a chance it will come back in the spring. There was also a short delay in our keys being provided to us on our closing day. These issues aside, everything else about the process went very well, and everyone we encountered that worked for Centex was kind and helpful. Our home is beautiful and comfortable. We would recommend this company and this neighborhood. ... More

Centex was really good with their details on the home and communicating was smooth!

For a suburban home lot it isn't bad. I cant help but think could could more out of my money by just custom building slightly further out of town. It is a tract home so quality is pretty good for the most part but there Is definitely signs of going fast. They did a decent job for drainage on the whole community but they should have still put more thought into it because they definitely went the cheap route.

The experience buying the house was smooth and people helped a lot to make the experience pleasant. The House looks good outside and inside except the material used for walls seem to be lacking in the sense that it's not strong enough. Realized that after moving in .When dining chair touches the wall or if someone lean towards the wall with the dining chair, the wall start having some traces of material coming off etc... There's no sound proof. I could hear people talking in the living while I upstairs in my room with door closed.

The honebuying experience was ok. I like the ones stop shop experience. So far everything is good. A few issues with some electrical issues ...a few other things but OK.

All staff have been very nice. I find the craftsmanship of the home to be lacking. It’s the fine details. My ceiling is crooked. The exhaust vents in the bathrooms were installed very loose. The chalking all around the house just looks like a child laid it. The flooring adhesive is all over the place. There’s more but I’m done for now.

We have a scheduled closing date but when we arrive we were told that it was change which wasted our time. Also, they keep changing the dates coz meter still not installed. We ended up paying extra cash on the date we close which was unsatisfactory.

The over all purchase was easy and seamless. They stayed in contact the entire time. There were a few issues that were found and micheal the project manager did help me. But the backyard was left a mess with trash from the builders. The grass that was placed in the front yard is patchy because the landscapers brought dead grass. I watered as much as I was supposed to. And paid someone to come flatten it so it would actually grow. There was no effort out in with that grass. Everything else was pretty good. It’s a good home overall.

it is okey but I had electrical issues.

We purchased a home that was already close to being finished so our experience is only on the back end. The staff as a whole are very good, friendly, and supportive. However the sub contractors they use to build their homes is poor; contractors they hire do not take pride in their work and it shows everywhere in the home. I understand it's a business so they try to find the cheapest contractor, but at some point there needs to be some venting for QA as the price we pay should reflect the quality of work which due to the people the hire to build the homes isn't there. Once again the staff is amazing, just the workers they hire is not good at all. Suggest buyers who plan to buy a home get one built from the ground up so they can monitor every single detail as the build is going up as buying a home halfway/at the finish line I wouldn't recommend. ...

I have been in my home about a month and a half. The appliances came with it. Every time I use the dryer the breaker trips. I put in a service request and an electrical company called to tell me they can’t come til the 23rd of the month. So I am left with a new home with new appliances and I will have to got to the washeteria for the next to weeks. Totall UNACCEPTABLE, I am so upset and disappointed

I was very pleased with overall home buying experience from sales to construction managers explaining everything in detail for the first time home buying experience. As we did the first walk through and now living in the house, there is a lot of spot where the finishing is not satisfactory overall but I will be filling work order soon to fix some of them. I would rate 3/5 for house itself and 4.5/5 for the buying experience.
