Shea Homes-Trilogy Reviews

We really liked that Shea had the different stage reviews, in the building process. Especially showing us the walls before closing with sheet rock. This helped in making decision's of where to place things on the walls. It would have been nice, if during the building process, we could have added solar and or if that had been an option. Especially here in Arizona. Otherwise, everything was great. And the superintendent Alexis was GREAT to work with.

We are very happy with our new home. The quality of material and products used is very good. The few, very minor, issues we've come across have been quickly addressed and rectified. Our construction field manager, Brad, has been nothing short of fantastic. Right from the start, he has been accessible and responsive to all of our concerns, which was greatly appreciated since we were coming from out of state. Overall, I'd say it's been really good home-buying experience.

I searched the Winchester VA area online for 55+ communities, including with Google Earth at street level. The latter was very little help because Trilogy east is still under construction. The Shea website for Lake Frederick was most helpful for previews and prices of models. Dan Wall was very helpful through the contract process. Sight and Sound failed me, my agent actually forgot to order my television equipment. Their Techs showed up and had no television to install.

Very friendly and helpful people to work with

Everyone involved has been great to work with.

Enjoyed working with the Shea team. It wasn't perfect but they all worked together to provide a great new home for us .

Overall, positive buying experience. Very responsive to issues.

Special call out to the sales team, Liz and Laura- and our project manager Brian and warranty coordinator Lala off to a good start. Overall build is good, its definitely not custom, but we new that going into the build. The day we took possession, the painter a few hours before we arrived, dripped white paint all over the floor- and left the doors open in 119 degree heat, creating a massive amount of insects inside the home that took a month to get rid of them- that was definitely frustrating . Problem with original design center team, but Shea Homes stepped up and did the right thing eventually, but at the time, that was very disappointing that we had to go through that experience, what should have been an awesome time at the design center, we left feeling insulted and really frustrated. The community is beautiful, thoughtfully designed and well maintained by the HOA ... More

Should have done back yards for all homes not just the inventory homes that are not selling.

We have had the pleasure of working with some very fine people that have listened to our issues and helped to resolve them.

Mike was great to work with and very responsive thru out the entire Sales process. .Debbie in the Design Center was also the same and our only complaint was that the price of upgrades seemed very high and their lack of flexibility in making simple changes ie deleting a medicine cabinet before the house was even framed. The superintendent, Ryan was fantastic and extremely proud of the work that he and the crew did! Lastly Richard in customer service could not be nicer and extremely responsive and professional. A very good team!!

All Shea employees are great to work with

Purchase experience was generally smooth. Lots of positive interaction with Sonja throughout the process. Larry, on the finance end was good, too. Brad, the GC has been fantastic, Caroline as our liaison, too. Some head-scratchers regarding appliances not working properly from day-one. The "cleaning" and "punchlist" crews seemed to make more messes than they corrected between walk through & closing. Lots of painting splatter needing work

Being at the beginning of a new community build has alot of kinks to work out. Fortunately, BreAnn and my Project Manager Will, along with my Warrantee person, Gus have been easy to work with and responsive. Along with many supply shortages, there have been significant shortages in Skilled labor which has caused delay and less than desirable end results with certain trades. Will and Breann and GUS (he's a GEM) have worked hard to remedy various issues.

Very beautiful home and community. Construction in general is high quality, and design of the home is well laid out, Energy efficient systems and automatic /wireless options are working well and convenient. Shea did well at keeping me apprised of construction progress and held to the promised dates for the construction steps. i rated responsiveness as a three as the warranty service processes seems to have some gaps that allow for concerns to fall through. One gap is that a service request disappeared after being acknowledged. the second is that i twice received letters saying that the service had been completed when it had not. I rated quality of workmanship as a four as i have found two problems with the electrical wiring. One was a dryer plugin wired incorrectly, the second was a ground wire left loosely connected that caused loss of power to the living room. ... More

The positives. Shea builds a good home, and their staff is friendly and largely helpful. Issues encountered along the way in construction and close inspection were addressed timely. My issues have mostly been around post close items. The landscaper (TLB) didn’t follow up per 30 day. It took repeated outreaches to get them scheduled to resolve issues, and they’re still not fully addressed, and communication is very poor. Overall, I’d recommend others to Shea, but Shea should utilize their leverage with TLB to ensure the full experience is positive.

The purchase was a seamless process and all Shea representatives were helpful and responsive to any questions I had. Now that I am in my home the onsite team has been equally responsive and helpful in taking care of any tweaks that have come up.

Buying process was a little difficult due to communication. The Teams app is not a good communication device. Too slow and lag time for response was slow. And responses were short and lacked detail. More detail of the interior progress would have been greatly appreciated. Just front lics of the exterior were not adequate.

Enjoyed his attention to buyers need to be informed.

First, the good. We love our new home. We love the community as well. From Jason (Sales) to Laura (Design), to Neil (construction) and then Connie (warranty and walk through) we could not be more pleased and thankful for their care, response time, excellent skills and assistance! They all get 5 stars!! Now, the not so good. The landscaping came up short, way short. From having a hard time with initial quote (getting answers on how the fence pricing would work, etc.) and then having it be last step in the design process and be hit with huge price increase from initial estimated quote! The fence continued to be troubling as we neared close as no one communicated to us that our to be neighbors required pool fencing on both sides of us. We paid for our entire fence (which was optional for us) & having been given no opportunity to work with our neighbors, we almost lost square footage to our property. We were told, after we inquired why fence on side of our property was 6 inches closer to our home than the neighbor’s, that since we did not sign off on anything, they automatically placed fence 4 inches (albeit it was 6) towards our home. We were able to get it fixed…but it required a lot of emailing and phone calls, us being the driver. We do appreciate Omar (landscaper-labor) for his quick work and kind attitude. To add insult to injury on the fence, we were contacted 2 months after we closed and moved in, by TLB Office (Tara), informing us that they reviewed our paperwork and found in original quote and signed off price at design (where our fence price had gone from original estimate of $3k or less to $4400) had somehow not included the fence line across back of yard!! They wanted another $2800 from us! However, all our paperwork stated the fence was a full yard fence and we presented the copies we signed off on and they determined it to be error on those we worked with in beginning of process, (Carson/Hunter) , they “waived” the charge and hoped we enjoyed our fence over the 4th of July! Another item that we are still dealing with, and are concerned over, is our “whole home” water filtration system. Bottom line is this, they installed a different type than we understood we were to have. We were not aware this occurred until closing. We had to inquire several times for information on the system and still are not clear on how to maintain it. On an up note? Our water quality is awesome! And we require no salt with this system, and have no loud flushing sounds in wee hours of the morning, plus, we do not need to buy filters for fridge because water is filtered as it enters home. We just felt the change to different system was one we should have been informed of and certainly been given better info on maintenance, I mean, this is our WATER we are dealing with. I’ll end on the upnote I began with, we love our home, and the community. Had it not been for the issues addressed here, they would have been given 5 stars across board. We have been through building process 3 times before this, and none of those journey’s had Covid and supply chain issues…kudos to Shea on that point, as they did everything they could to stay on time with close est. we appreciate them. ...

We received adequate updates during the build of our new home. We appreciated the quick responses to our questions & concerns.

It is obvious Shea has been around, as a developer, for many years. Not only is the community plan laid out nicely, but the floor plans of each individual model make sense and function very well.

The community is a wonderful place to live

We were lucky to have a very good, professional, quick responding general contractor. He seemed to be on top of situations all during the building process and again in the first year after closing.

Get your own Home loan. The build team will sell it in less than 30 days and you may end up with some you you never heard of and not even like doing bussines with them for the next year. When they sold my loan in less than 15 dyas . I just dont like a company that i never heard of and is in 10 states over from here. no office all on the web.
