Reseñas de Centex Homes

The backyard is so soggy and it retains water due to which I have complained to the warranty team however they are not taking responsibility. It not even been month since I have moved in.

My home was not completed when we closed, it has been over a month and a half that we closed and still no one has come to my home to paint over 40 drywall patches and tags that had to be corrected after closing. For them to come complete the tags around our house it took them one month after closing. I really wanted to love my experience with Centex/Pulte but I am completely disappointed by the work and lack of interest that was put into this home.

Overall buying experience was poor. The house was not complete at closing. I drove to the house after closing only to see painters inside doing repairs that should've already been completed. It took over a month after closing to get the correct appliances delivered. The driveway surface was damaged from ice during construction and still has not been addresed almost 2 months after closing. It is a nice house, but due to the overall buying and closing experience, I would not recommend Pulte.

Quality of workmanship is not there. Doesn’t seem like any quality control is in place (I.e. step by step inspections, etc). Lack of communication during closing process and being told less than 24 hours before closing that it wouldn’t be ready for another week or two. Left us having to scramble to make living arrangements since we had already sold our other home two days prior. Once we moved in, there immediately was a leak in the home due to plumber not tightening the master shower drain all the way during construction. This led to holes having to be cut in the kitchen ceiling. They initially just patched the holes and it was very obvious so I had to push for the entire downstairs to be retextured/painted. Had to have AirTron come out because they stripped an air vent when doing that. Still waiting for them to come out and fix issues with the texturing. Garage door was extremely crooked making it very difficult to lock or even open. Was told that it couldn’t be fixed by the worker sent by the construction team, however, I had a contractor come out to install a garage door opener and he realigned the entire door to make it function properly. The support beam underneath the master counter is broken but I have to call the warranty line to have that fixed. The back patio is extremely unleveled and there is a large dip in the middle of it. These are just some examples of all of the issues that we’ve had since moving in. Overall, not a great experience and wouldn’t choose Centex again. ... Más

My concrete wall need to be fixed but know one shows up, I’m telling them to fixed it and the ceiling paint is bad, my. Backyard is all being crack. I have referred my friends to centex but I’m really upset with the builder. I’m not going to refer my friends and family to this builder .

We have only lived in this house 1 month and the ac has already leaked into the ceiling causing drywall damage and mold. The AC was wired wrong and ran 24/7 for a month causing the ac unit to leak and our electricity bill to triple in cost. There was also things promised at closing that never got fixed and the vent in the roof was not sealed causing rain to leak into our attic. We have not had a great experience and would not buy a home from this company again.

The house wasn't done when we went to closing. centex assured us that they were going to everything done as we moved in, but it been 2 months now since we moved and the house is still uncompleted. We're thinking of bringing this issue to court.

During the build process, I did not think it would be as rough as it was. Going through four field managers was not necessary. Having to update them weekly on issues, keep repeating issues each week. The lack of responsiveness to issues was unbelievable. If client points out a problem, I would think it would be fixed at that stage and not months later. Or just let slip by as if it was never brought up. Also trades not caring about other trades work, which is normal but it was prominent. I was not able to receive a straight answer from multiple people. Each person would give me a different answer every time. There was a large lack of communication between the Dallas Office and Colorado Office. Not all of it was bad, the salesman Don was great to work with. He was friendly, straight forward with everything and overall easy to work with. Another person out of Dallas office was able to provide me more information that was helpful than the people actually on my house. The house is done and I have lived in it over a month. It is a great starter home but the process could have been smoother. ... Más

Communication has been faulty from the beginning. I moved in June 2020 and was told that a 30 day walkthrough and 11 month walkthrough would happen to fix issues, but the 30 day was and will not be done per the warranty dept. Low tier Whirlpool appliances specifically came as an incentive, but were not installed properly. For 1.5 months, despite numerous requests, no one came to attach the missing ventilation tube to the clothes dryer, indicating this was not an emergency. Finally, we were frustrated enough that we fixed it on our own dime. Not being able to safely and cleanly use a clothes dryer after move in is not an emergency? Additionally, any service personnel that came to the house had no idea what they were there to service; the plumber came 3 times because his team didn't review the prior visits and came unprepared all over again. The warranty dept has not proven it communicates at all with contractors. The most blaring issue is the lack of craftsmanship on this house with obvious hastily completed work. The amount of holes, cracks, bad or missing painting, and misaligned blinds and cabinets, and frayed carpet edges cut too short is innumerable. Additionally, the base and floor boards were poorly cut and installed and separated from the floor very shortly after move in causing ants to march in throughout kitchen and living room for days. This will be left unaddressed again and I was told by the warranty dept to pay a contractor to get it fixed even though the structural warranty should be applied. The blue tape I placed and photographes in most places in the final walkthrough before close was plainly removed without remediation. These issues still exist and are getting worse. The housing development is also not kept clean in public areas even though we are paying HOA dues. I will be unlikely to deal with this builder again. ... Más

Homes are slapped together workers not double checking their work. Warranty take forever to get somebody out there. My front door was not installed correctly. Had to hire my own guy because 84 Iumber is worthless. I have 2 cracked windows. Still waiting for that.

I found some imperfections on my home and I told to the construction management but the issues aren’t fixed yet

the whole inside of the house is painted the same color. all the walls and trim work? water company charged us for 19000 gallons of water used, we were not living there yet and still as this date haven't?

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

If knew then what I know about Centex Homes I never would have bought one. Overpriced and not alot of value. I had problems including range fuse and also automatic door in the bathroom shutting on its own. Also the floor in the garage had paint spots that had to be cleaned up.

Very frustrating to work with the people running this operation. Communication is very poor and follow through is like pulling teeth. They wait until the last minute to make repairs and you have to continually remind them to get it done. The workers are sloppy and create more problems when fixing one thing. They are a cookie cutter operation and only care about moving on to the next house. If it’s not done by closing, good luck with warranty. Everything is done by email and there’s no care about customer service.

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.

I wrote Matthew Newkham an email with pictures on 07/24 with no response as of yet. I extremely disappointed with my home and will not recommend Centex to any of my family and friends.

The foundation and materials used to build the house were builder grade but I hope everything was done at least up to code for anything our inspector couldn’t see. As far as the quality of the work we can see, it is very poor. There is not a single room, door, trim, cabinet, or wall that doesnt have a mistake. I keep dividing areas as well that just weren’t painted like underneath the vent that you can’t see if you’re standing…how clever. Had an electrical issue when I first moved in and it took so long for them to respond I paid and got it fixed myself. Centex and Pulte take advantage of people by the incentives for money put down but the work done to build these homes is average at best. Centex needs to do better. ... Más

These houses have major electrical issues. They're not wired correctly. There's massive drains issues. I was told I would have a warranty walkthrough at 30 days and still nothing. I had to replace 2 appliances in the first week because of the wiring. Breakers flip constantly. The response and the HOA are also extremely disappointing. If I had to do it over again I certainly wouldn't purchase here.

The quality of materials used and the workmanship get a one star. The cabinetry, flooring, carpets, fencing, and landscaping are of terrible quality. The electrical panel is a 15/20 so I cannot have the lights on and vacuum at the same time without popping the panel. The same thing happens when I have the lights on and want to use several appliances at once in the kitchen such as an air fryer and rice cooker, the panel pops multiple times. I am resetting it 7-8 times each day. I had them come out and they said the panel isn't strong enough to handle what I am doing. This is ridiculous. The "sod" that was put in is basically a blanket of weeds. It is unbelievable. I have called the warranty place multiple times because of standing water on the side of the house and it hasn't been taken care of. The cabinets are cheap and feel like they are going to break at any moment. The handles are all crooked and are noticeably off. The homeowners association is super controlling and requires "permission for backyard gazebos, landscaping, and fence stain, including requiring the name of the landscape company. Yet, they allow the "sod" that is used in the new build to be a blanket of weeds. The project manager was great to work with and when we did the blue tape walk through was great. However, there were things that were not taken care of and I eventually gave up on them. The one highlight through this process was my realtor, Alex. He was absolutely amazing. Pulte mortgage was aweful and I ended up going with a different lender. I am trying to not have buyer's remorse but to say I am disappointed with the quality is an understatement. ... Más

We had to delay closing multiple times due to incomplete or substandard workmanship. When the project manager was contacted with a list, it was documented, but little or nothing done within a reasonable timeframe. One incident was a crooked wall running at roughly a 25 degree angle, the response was "it doesn't look that bad". It was eventually "repaired", but now the drywall tape was worked loose and is protruding. Have been in the house for almost two full months and the power washing has still not been completed.

they have to find out on their own.

Quality of materials used is horrible. I have cracking of interior paint on my walls throughout the home. Mixing valve in my master shower was faulty, therefore there was no cold water to the shower. Only scalding hot water. First week into the home and already had a massive hole in my master bedroom wall to have the shower mixing valve replaced. Gaps in the exterior siding is not caulked. The landscaper laid my sod with 4”-5” rocks underneath. The quality of the home compared to the price you pay is unbelievable. Sad to see that the savings the builder receives by cutting corners never get passed down to the buyer. Only the issues caused by cutting the corners. ... Más
