Shea Homes-Trilogy Reviews

I liked being able to pick a certain package however I didn't like that I could not make a change. For instance I ordered blinds but did not want them on the small window & could not have them not put those up. The reason I took off the stars was because when I moved in my outside water did not work because of a kink in the line & they had to cut a hole in my wall. Then the breaker switch on my tv kept going off making me think I had a tv problem. No the electric lines in the switch plate were touching. In both cases Shea did react quickly to resolve the issues but both were very stressful for me. ... More

I think the project manager made sure we were happy with our home and on the whole, it was very good quality. However, some of the items we picked out were not what was installed. We picked out different doors than what were installed, that was a disappointment.

The builder did a good job. Just a little slow to follow up with little things to be corrected.

Home was very well built and products supplied were of good quality. We we delayed by over 2 weeks which caused us problems with rental housing and extra storage costs for our furniture

The loan process was laborious. The building process was top notch and a pleasure. Sales, design studio, and our construction manager, all great.

Inside has minor issues. Landscaping & trash enclosure have issues that haven’t been completed.

We love our new home.

Olivia who helped us through all the time from showing us the various styles offered to moving in was a wonderful help.

Poor quality control. Builder unfortunately cannot refute this because this is in the eyes of the beholder. Compared to other builders I cannot say, but coming from an industry where QC is extremely important Shea does not measure up. That is to say, my neighbor may very well think the workmanship is wonderful. I do not. Issues that I have had to call to attention of builder reps were easily fixed but why did they have to be pointed and then easily fixed? One SHEA person assigned to quality control could do a quality walk through minimizing buyer complaints and the buyers failure to note discrepancies on their walk through. Afterall, typically the buyer is not the expert. ... More

Lovely community, houses, and landscaping are as expected in a retirement area.

Enjoy the community very much

Great buying experience and response to issues with the structure after moving in. Very disappointed with the landscaping behind our new home. The plantings along the walking path behind our home are dead/dying and the area just full of weeds. No one seems to want to fix it. Wish we had resolved this before moving in.

Great place to spend the quieter stage of life

Throughout the buying and building experience I was kept informed of progress and given realistic deadlines. Most of my issues have been with the appliances. In general the fit and finish are very good.

My house was selected prior to a model being built..I picked out brick for the outside with the sales office..after the house was built I was told my model couldn’t have brick on the outside..if I had been informed I would have chosen a different house…thus, my house has no curb appeal even after I paid an extra 20,000 for the lot that now has a very large apartment complex behind it.. I was told there would be trees and landscaping…as of now just weeds

Not pleased with the quality of the finishes and appliances at this price point

So the worst part of our experience was the design center. Shea only offered packages for designs. We have built numerous homes, and this was the worst experience. There were things we didn't want that came with the package. Home could have been cleaned a bit better. Painters were terrible with not using drop clothes, so LOTS and LOTS of white paint specs all over the wood floors.

Shea builds a beautiful home with thoughtful layouts. Let me start with Kara. She was incredible to work with throughout the process. She always went above and beyond for us and helped us during the difficult emotional times of building a home. She is the gold standard for representing Shea Homes!!! Scott was out Field Manager. Like Kara, Scott was a G-d send. He was extremely communicative throughout the build. He always took our calls and responded to our texts. No ask was unimportant to Scott. If it was important to us, he looked into it and responded quickly. Scott had zero black holes. I never had to remind him a second time about anything throughout the 12 month build. His attention to detail was incredible. He would notice various things (ie tile not level, master bath accent tile appearance, and so many other details),that quite honestly, we may have missed, and he would proactively get them corrected until it met his high standards of workmanship. He always explained every detail of the house build so that we understood why certain aspects of the home are built the way they are (ie the attic insulation methodology). As I mentioned, no ask was too much for Scott. We had heard horror stories about other Site Directors which made us feel so incredibly fortunate to have Scott on our home. Like Kara, Scott is the Gold Standard and represents the Shea product to its highest level!!! We are also very thankful to have Steve as our Post-Close Warranty Specialist. Like Kara and Scott, Steve responds very quickly to anything we have and no ask is too big for Steve to handle. We look forward to working with Steve throughout our first year. Design was a total mess!!! The selection offerings were not up to par with the cost of the home and the designer we were assigned to had no idea of what options were truly available and made minimal suggestions. She also struggled immensely with using the design system and selection tools. She made numerous mistakes, that we had to fix after the close, that cost us over $10,000! She even got downright rude at times. The entire design process is extremely rushed and high pressure. They need to completely revamp their Design portion of the build. As a side note, I rated responsiveness to issues a 3 because of the design process not the warranty service. I would actually rate the Design responsiveness a 1 and the Sales, Construction and Warranty responsiveness a 5. Shea Homes did not seem to care, or be willing to assume any responsibility for what happened during design. Our designer was fired, but that does not help us in any way. ... More

Beautiful area of the state with expensive, nicely designed homes. Sizes and color schemes are great. Some things in the home could have been done better. The HOA is strict and not quick to respond. Looking forward to the clubhouse being built. Glad we have a Lifestyle Manager already in place.

This was my first new construction purchase. It was a mix of experiences. My initial sales person disappeared. I learned she was gone via email and never felt that I had a single person that I could direct questions to after that. The most responsive person I dealt with was my Field Manager.

Turnover of staff / reduction of staff and lack of communications is reason for 4 stars. Build process takes too long.

She was extremely helpful, always very friendly and got things done quickly.

We closed and moved into our new home in April and have been pleased with the warranty follow up, general quality of the workmanship and the responsiveness of the entire sales and service team at Shea homes in Wickenburg.

I have not yet moved in so I can’t give a thorough review. I found Katie and Kirstie in Sales to be attentive and helpful. I found Mike and Rome equally attentive to resolving issues on punch list. After project completion, I feel value for price paid was insufficient. Processes to deal with upgrade installation have been problematic.

Great care and responsiveness to questions
