Century Communities Reviews

check Everything no matter how small it seem

Salesman sucked, no guidance, and no responses from their offices. Have been in my new home 4 months and still waiting on issues that should have been fixed prior to move in.

Houses were built too fast

It feels like Im leaving in a paper house. You can hear everything from the outside. The cabinets falling apart. The plumbing sucks. The finishing/ base boards not finished. The main door (cheap) handle lose. I can continue, but I just want to cry.

I totally disappointed with the home quality and service

They rush you and make you seem like you have to sign and close when they want. After you move in there is a bunch of problems that they take their time on completing and give you the run around. And cause more issues to get fixed

The quality control on these homes is terrible. We are still trying to get things repaired and attended to 4 months later. It is a nightmare trying to get anything done. Even when the subs come out often times you have to babysit them to make sure it's done right. If I could go back I would not buy this home, and will avoid ever purchasing from Century in the valley. Not even the Division President cares about the quality of his products. When I emailed him he quickly pawned it off to lower level employees without a care. When speaking with neighbors, almost all the families in my community have had the same experience. Even the subs hate working for century as I have been told by multiple subs. Avoid Century at all costs. If you end up like us buying a home because it's the only floorplan you like, make your option changes 3rd party after move in. Their option pricing is insane. I ended up pulling out of $40k in options and saved $10k to get better quality materials and higher finishes throughout my home. ... More

Bad quality materials used in the construction process. Ever house owner is complaining about same.

Century does not deliver anything in a professional manner, see below for details exprrience Cosntruction quality: missing baseboards paints and doors during pre close orientation, on closing date none if these issues were resolved. It took months to resolve the issues that were supposed to be done by closing. quality is so cheap, missing alignmnets, switches aligned incorrectly, you name it everything sucks Service/warranty: no one picks up calls, once they pick the call they will telm you it will take few months to get it done as others before you have logged issues. Its a nightmare to deal with warranty sales experience is horrendous - they dont care about clients requests and not respectful. forces customer to go into house lender or threaten to cancel contract is one example Delivery timelines - Multiple delays due to covid but communication was the pain, could have been transparent on delays ...

Construction quality is poor. I was forced to occupy with major open issues like foyer with rough wall and partially painted, Kitchen drawer beneath gas stove doesn't close touching gas pipe at back, most of the walls are not leveled and list goes on and on but no response from construction team am on fixing pending issues. Overall experience from all century team members including sales , marketing , lending and after-sales has been really poor....

Staff does not respond to issues or complaints, They keep saying inventory and workmen shortage from more than 6 months, They also say the management does not respond to our escalation and there nothing they can do to resolve the issues This is not at a acceptable experience and worst fo far compared to any other builder We see a lot of issues already within 3 months and entire quality is in question now, I would never buy a century home ever again

They were not flexible with options even when I wanted to replace one option with other and pay more. Every time I asked for something, I was given a threat that other people are ready to buy it. They changed date a couple of times, which was a nightmare since I already committed to sell my previous place. I was given the home with lot of issues and dirty garage. Maintenance team is not answering and I have most of those issue pending.

To many issues with the home that were not addressed in a timely manner. Quality of the home for the purchase price was exceedingly overpriced. And when having an issue addressed regarding the craftsmanship, Century employees conduct was unprofessional, rude, and threatening. I feared for my safety when dealing with this employee. So much that I had to ask the employee to leave my property.

Quality of the home is poor and very bad response for any issues raised

The construction manager asked to reach out to him to have issues fixed before submitting warranty requests, after trying to get in touch with him there was not response. there has been no response to warranty requests either

This experience has been an absolute nightmare. From the builders not following the plans to just plain leaving things unfinished. They have made all kinds of promises that have not been followed up. When we walked the house on the day of closing they forced us to sign off on the house even though it was not finished and had many problems that needed to be addressed. They threatened that if we did not sign off on the condition of the house we would not be allowed to close and would possibly lose the house and our deposit. We have lived here for 4 months and still our home is not finished even though they are building at a rapid rate all around us. I regret working with Century Communities and I would not purchase a home from them again. ... More

I closed the house on Jan 29th, first issue arose when the pipe behind the bathroom shower burst flooding the basement and closets. The bathroom tiles 2 of them have been taken out and the carpet removed. Literally it is more than a month now and I have not been able to use the shower. The customer experience is very bad the maintenance crew never show up on time and they block the whole day just to stay at home for them cancelling all my appointments. They never update / give courtesy calls , if i reach out to the warranty team they hit back at me asking not to call them and are very rude. No updates , nothing, i need to keep following up with them and it has been a horrible experience so far. Never going to buy another Century property again. Just being honest here. Thanks. ... More

It was not a great experience. There have been so many issues with plumping and HVAC since moving in. Although they are responsive to requests, it should not have been an issue in the first place. Spending so much time trying to get things fixed!

There was a bit of a bait and switch on the pricing. The sell sheet, we were issued on a house, the sales person had written down. Once we began the contract process a new price appeared and had to be renegotiated. There was an area of the floor which felt like you were walking up hill. The difference was 5/8 of an inch drop over 4 feet. After having several contractors stop by, they decided that although this was an issue of seating of the joist on the foundation wall, they were just going to grind down the subfloor to resolve it. The contractor came and took out an 1/8, which did not resolve the issue. Ended up hiring a flooring contractor to do the quality work we expected, as we were told by the builder and his contractor, this is as good as it gets. Hand written electrical panel schedules you can barely read, I'm assuming they are in English but can't tell. No thoughtfulness applied to location of electrical components. As a former Electrician myself, I always put a bit of thought into how the owner, or user would operate a switch, or whether the middle of the wall might be used by the owner for decorations, rather than installing a switch. Just simple things like that, speak to the overall quality of the build. Many many of the neighbors have complained about issues from countertops broken from cooktop installs, to roofs leaking during one of our massive snow storms. Just poor poor quality of build. ...

I moved into my house 12/31, since then there has been cracking all over the house. Floor boards are separating, and paint mismatches all over. can't hang my close in the master closet with out it falling apart. Thursday 4/9/2021 I turned my a/c on, it doesn't work. The cabinets are poorly assembled. We need to bring some to the house to inspect the construction again,

Lower your expectations. Houses are built based on speed not quality. Floors and uneven, walls aren’t straight, paint drips and missed spots everywhere, gaps in all finishes. Warranty items are only responded to if you state “water is leaking”.

We had many many problems throughout the build process. Our salesman was pretty unresponsive to emails. We had multiple things not finished before closing, and the only reason I closed was because we'd lose $10K if we didn't. We still have an issue with our roof that I pointed out to them at least 4 months before close. The area manager told me they would fix it, but here we are 4 months post-close, and the issue still remains. Overall, a horrible process and will absolutely never build a home with Century Communities again.

Working with Craig has been absolutely miserable. He doesn’t respond to messages and shrugs off any issues I have with my house. No one responds to warranty issues. Lori has been absolutely worthless in assisting with contacting Craig. When it came to taking money in the beginning, I received nothing but emails and text messages from Lori. Now I have heard nothing from her regarding any issue I have had with my house. I wish I never purchased a home with Century Communities.

Century applied an arbitrary lot premium to the purchase price which was significantly higher than purchase price of adjacent lots and would not adjust the purchase price after the price of adjacent lots was discovered through search of public records. The date of closing was unilaterally scheduled before the house was completed and there are outstanding punchlist items that still have not been completed 3 1/2 months after closing. Numerous cosmetic repairs were required after closing and took multiple appointments to complete. Countertops were damaged during construction and have not been replaced after countertop expert decided they could not be repaired. This is not the first house we have had built, it is by far the worst experience and it still is not over. Century deserves negative stars. ... More

I do not have many good things to say about the experience with this builder. The entire process from start to finish was extremely stressful. I had to micro manage each piece of the process to ensure details were not missed, and an accurate job was done. Even after closing, I am experiencing issues with the title company under the Century Communities umbrella. From the beginning, it was difficult to get under contract with Century. Even after going under contract, there were numerous issues that came up even before excavation began. Those troubles, and other issues came up throughout the year that it took to complete the home. There were times were I, the homebuyer, had to take action with third parties to ensure construction continued. However, I am thankful to the managers who stepped in very late in the process to do what they could to remedy the situation. They were great to work with and I am appreciative of their help. Unfortunately for the Century brand, it was too little, too late and my experience was far too negative for their efforts to bring back to a positive. ... More
