Shea Homes-Trilogy Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

We are extremely frustrated with the quality of the home. Never expected so many issues and we are pretty sure the issues with the kitchen will never be resolved. No one that can address them really seems to be concerned other then our warranty rep who has little control over the issues.

We bought a model and we were told that everything would be working at time of closing. However, when I asked that it be put in writing, they refused and ultimately they did not have everything working. They even said at the walk through they would be back and….nothing. I didn’t count on them coming through so not surprised just disappointed in how they treat customers paying that much for a home. As a retired builder, I couldn’t believe how they treat their buyers

BUYER BEWARE is an understatement. The sales office claim of delivering a "zero-defect home", the result of a series of supposed meticulous inspections by teams of construction professionals is a total farce. I invited the senior Customer Service Rep and the Senior Construction Manager for ALL of Trilogy-Vistancia to my one-month follow-up. They were receptive and did attend. I presented a list of 36 issues (including cracked and chipped driveway, extensive cabinet damage, incredibly poor drywall and painting including globs of paint drips, globby/orange-peeled baseboards vs smooth finish, 5 visibly scratched windows and more), and when we were complete the list had grown to 54 (to Shea's credit for identifying additional issues)...and is still growing. The Senior Construction Manager even stated "we never should have released this home". It's clear Shea is just moving too fast and sacrificing accuracy for speed. Shea agreed to remedy all but 2 issues, but any follow-up on my satisfaction is nearly non-existent and if not for my persistent follow-up on open items this list would never be exhausted. When I inquired about any concession for the extreme impact to my time (2+ months since move-in and still working-off the punch list), establishing my home including having to obtain a storage unit given the significant amount of tile, baseboard, and wall re-work, I was informed that Shea doesn't provide any concession for work accomplished after the buyer takes possession, thus BUYER BEWARE! 54+ issues the Shea "inspection teams" missed and, if I had not identified them and insisted on remedies I'm confident they would have walked-away from this debacle with zero-interest in "customer satisfaction" (my primary Customer Service Rep is more interested in rationalizing obvious defects vs. resolving them). All this re-work is built-in to the price of the home driving the price well beyond a fair asking price. The friends we have made in this community have, and will, overcome this prolonged drive to craftsmanship vs. "craps-manship", and I remain optimistic my wife and I will ultimately enjoy our move to Trilogy; however, the home-buying experience has truly eclipsed nightmarish proportions. BUYER BEWARE! ... More

Been here 3 months and Shea has not resolved my issue.

waited 1 1/2 for a home only to find electrical items not working and loaner stove and garage door. Told another year or so ! Landscaper the worst dead plants and wrong even though we specifically noted plants we wanted and plants we did not planning on moving asap

This builder promises a great experience but when things go wrong they run and find excuses Avoid ! Cheap quality and no finished product skills for price paid

I was told the build would be 12 months and it was 18. The workmanship is below average and quality control is non existent. Warranty service is a nightmare.

I have built four homes with three different builders. My first home was with a very low end builder and was a much better experience than this. Working with Shea Homes has been by far the worst building experience I have ever had when building a home. I have had a real estate investment company for over 15 years. I have renovated sixplexes , triplexes, townhouses, and condos. Therefore, this is not my first rodeo however, it has been the worst rodeo I have ever had. I am staying anonymous because I am concerned about potential retribution. I am still in the warranty stage and need a lot of work done. ... More

We are extremely dissatisfied with our experience with Shea Homes new build. The construction is subpar. Our escrow closed with many items incomplete and a promise that their “Warranty” Dept would take care of immediately. Well it has been 2 months and items still are not complete and we STILL HAVE NOT MOVED IN.

Our home building experience was not great from the start. When we originally looked at the lot, we were given a base price which we verbally agreed upon. Then, when we went to sign our contract, the price raised $20,000. Our sales rep, Liz, never gave us a warning of a rate increase. In fact, she told us to come in on a Saturday before Monday so we would miss the price increase. Overall, very unprofessional. Then, after we signed our contract, Liz called and told us that we could not have our exterior model and color. Again, this was AFTER we signed our contract. So, we had to pick a different exterior for a million dollar investment. The communication and professionalism was never there. Liz proceeded to tell me via phone that my expenses seemed tight and “she didn’t need this sale” so we could back out if we were not pleased. ... More

The purchasing of this property was the worst experience I have ever had. Damaged products were put into my home and I’m still dealing with Neal for resolution. I’m going to reach out to the better business bureau and issue a formal complaint.

Delayed move in date, over 6k in added costs. Kitchen Island being replaced because installed a broken piece, still waiting after 2 months, tile in shower and around our tub has to be replaced, used 2 different colors. All of the granite had caulk all over it that need to be cleaned, was told to use a razor blade. No touch up paint given. Many more things to list.
