Shea Homes-Trilogy Reviews

Once the ink was wet on the purchase agreement, Shea's entire attitude changed towards me. It's taken several months, but I believe we are back on track. Patrick has treated me fairly. Just too bad it took so long to get to this point. love the community, and the stunning vistas. My advice, less focus on the next home sale and more focus on the customer you just sold to.

I had a great field manager who took care of issues promptly.

Over all nice home - Not a custom experience Some things that we were sold to was not the entire story

Pay attention to the details, pay attention to the difference between model and real house...a lot of what shown in the model after signature you discover in not there....good people in general but sales really focussing in maximizing profit and not to take care of client after sales. Before closure order an home inspection...you might be surprised, reply worth .

From initial visits, things changed ie: when we entered the interest list, fencing was included, then when it was time for the contracts, fences were not included. Some homes in the track get them, others do not. It is being marketed as a gated community, however there are large perimeter openings where anyone can enter.

Many nice people living in the community, lots of events, clubs and something to do for everyone. Shea Homes salespeople are wonderful to work with. Many things in the choices need to be improved upon when designing the home. Better attention to individual homes for completion. Move in inspection should be improved upon also.

Mike is dependable and will do his best to help, although sometimes his hands are tied. Overall experience is more corporate than I would have liked. There are not enough bodies to do the work in a timely manner.

We love the community and people here at Shea Ranch. The quality of of home builder was not to our expectations. We felt nickel and dimed with upgrades which are not that impressive. It’s been 2 months since we closed on the house and still no upgraded stove top. Our three slider door is poorly made and not to Shea quality. Gutters should be included in house price. Why isn’t it??? It’s been a very dissatisfying journey with Shea home builder considering they are such a well known trusted builder. Sincerely Diana

Have only been in the house for 3 months and still have some quality issues to address. Most are addressed timely, but need to be patient with the labor challenges since Covid.

Workmen have not shown up when they were scheduled to. Closed 12/31/21. I am still waiting for mirrors and shower doors on my master shower. It has been 9 weeks. Smart home visit was just completed yesterday. There appears to be a disconnect between contractors.

Once coverings started, so did poor workmanship. Holes in the sheathing, misaligned and damaged dry wall, poorly aligned trim. A lot of hacking, followed by hiding with plaster and RTV. Materials were above average, hence the rating of 3.

Pretty nice home and customer service overall is so far okay. Beware of what is standard and included in the price vs. what is considered an upgrade extra. They can add up to a premium price very quickly. Attention to detail in the fit and finish during construction could use a bit of improvement with closer quality control.

Be sure to be comfortable with the limited flexibility offered in the design stage of the process, and the complexity of the "smart" option.

Struggled somewhat with the sales team but am overall satisfied now that I've moved in

A lot of sloppy work. Paint spots on floors. Crooked stove vent. Countertops installation half-assed. Multiple cabinet scratches. Cheap toilets.

I think it is very tough to give a review when this is a seasonal home and we have only spent one week in it. We have not even had our first walk thru. I have had two appliance issues. Once had to be completely replaced and I had to fight just to get that done and the 2nd I had to fight with GE and still fighting. So I don't think filling out a survey is going to be very fair to anyone at this point until we know that our walk thru items are going to be handled at the first walk thru this week.

The Trilogy community is great although Shea was not transparent about the community restaurant and Spa being open to the public. Unfortunately the public depletes availability of these amenities for the members that pay for them. The standard finishes are very outdated which means you have to pay for tons of upgrades just to get finishes that don’t come from the 90’s. When you purchase a home you will have to put in about 30% of the purchase price in upgrades to get to current acceptable finishes. Love the community. Need more people in their 50’s so we have more ACTIVE adults.

There is a lack of attention to details, such as drywall, trim and paint application. The build process is rushed and can show in the finished product. Also the windows that are used are of a poor quality.

Design center and landscaping were truly both lacking!

We were super excited to be building a brand new home. After choosing many options and getting the grand total of almost $700,000, we thought that things would be perfect. They were far from being perfect. We have crooked walls, crooked tiles, uneven flooring, and many other things that we were told that there is not enough workers and trained people to do quality work. Now that we are moved in, we just heard that they are slowing down the process and focusing more on quality. That would be great if they could refund us about $100,000.

Home plans are fantastic. Amenity center is top notch. Quality workmanship in homes is sorely lacking in finishing details. Restaurant atmosphere is lovely but the menu needs work. It should reflect not only the local area but also speak to the diversity of the community. The dirty paper menus were a bit of a turnoff. Shows a lack of pride in presentation.

Too many unrealistic reasons to explain an 18 month build cycle. However, management responded well when faced with a rate lock expiration deadline to complete the build on a specific date.

Recently I took delivery of a new home build by Shea. The design fit my needs and the home is nicely laid out. After some annoying delays with the city power, I tool delivery in the fall of 2022. On the whole the home turned out well, but there were areas of quality control that got missed or were ignored. I encountered some poor stain work and finishing on the cabinets, damage to appliances, interior and exterior paint and finishing issues and some electrical issues. The repair service is coming along and some items, I feel, will be pushed to the side. The sales and construction staff have been friendly and fantastic, but the care in the workmanship is less than stellar. ... More

I am going to begin with the positives. I am very pleased with the results of our home. I was very pleased with the responsiveness of the construction manager, Ryan. Ryan was also dedicated; however I feel the crew’s were spread too thin with over 30 new builds going at the same time. This resulted in multiple details being overlooked. Our punch list at the time of our walkthrough prior to closing was extensive with more than a dozen items. The most serious items were three separate previously undetected gas leaks. The connection to the swimming pool heater was not connected properly. There was leaking gas from the cooktop burners even when they were turned off. There was also later found a gas leak from the fireplace where a flexible pipe was mistakenly used instead of hardline pipe. The flexible pipe eroded where it was bent. This one was discovered 2 days after we moved in and could have been deadly. I give kudos to Ryan for staying with us at the house for six hours while the problem was repaired and the gas company could return to turn the gas back on and retest for further leaks. It has been over 2 months since we had our closing and we still have 4 unrepaired items from the punch list. These include a cracked window, an area of drywall in garage, garbage disposal dysfunction and an area of grouting. This seems excessive in its delay. I am very disappointed with the landscaping bushes. Other older areas of Shea homes in our development have much more extensive and colorful bushes. Lastly, it is my opinion that Shea’s policy of not providing visual documentation of the building process is outrageous. This is the fourth home I have built with different builders and this is the first time I’ve not been allowed to visualize the progress. I adamantly oppose this policy. ... More

I've waited until now to complete this review, as we've been away since September, after officially closing on July 4th 2022. We began the process in 2020-2021 and experienced many delays, thru the pandemic, lack of supplies, labor, etc... For the most part the process has been adequate, having never built a home before, I don't have a reference. I with the Design Day had included the exterior of our Resort Model, as there were a few structural things that weren't discussed and weren't done when we took possession last June. We're still waiting on those to be complete. We are ready to come back in January, I hope they will be done by then. It's also already time for our 5-6 month Inspection. I feel these things could have easily been accomplished before now. Looking forward to working out a few of these details. ... More
