Shea Homes-Trilogy Reviews

I am happy with my home, but knowing it is over-priced for comparable other commuities, I cannot endorse Trilogy. The pre-sheetrock walk-through revealed very poor beams were used. Beams my husband would have burnt before using them to support a house. Light switches don't make a lot of sense where they are set. Two require walking across the room to turn them off. One room has 2 switches for the same light 3 feet apart. Quality of carpet choices was disappointing. the one we chose unravels at the entry way, and shows even a piece of thread! Garage needs more outlets to charge power tools. Driveway is too narrow for 2 cars. Guest cars scrape the gutter when backing out because it is so steep. Even one less structure per block would allow more space between houses, thus more privacy. That would at least make me feel less like I'm in an expensive condo.

We very much enjoy living in Wickenburg Ranch. It took considerably more time to build the house than originally planned, which created a ton of challenges. We also had turnover of our building manager several times. There is still a missing component to the new home build. We also utilized the preferred landscaper of Shea homes and have some unresolved issues as well.

All in all, it was a good experience, despite the pandemic and supply chain issues creating delays in the move-in date. One word of advice to new homeowners, be very critical and thorough during your final walk-through. It seems the workmanship was a bit 'sloppy' perhaps due to the extended delays and deadlines not being met on time. There were things that could have been done more carefully, had the workers taken the time to do them correctly the first time. As an example, the caulking wasn't completely done around my tub and faucet, which meant a plumber had to be brought in after I moved into the house. The water wasn't turned on to the fridge and when I pointed it out during the walk-through, the sales person wrote it down but didn't follow through on the complaint. Thus, it took 2 weeks before I could get someone in to fix the issue (and it happened to be the builder superintendent I ended up calling, because Shea Customer Service never responded to my calls and emails). ...

Overall, we love our home and the neighborhood in Wickenburg Ranch. There were a number of issues regarding paint quality (recommend hiring your own painter) , drywall quality, door placement, leaky shower door, and exposed pipes on the patio. After 2 months of difficult discussions we were finally able to get Shea to resolve most of the problems.

Be aware that if you buy a “Designer” home, it’s nothing more than a spec home with no extras. I’ve already spent $25k upgrading things…not happy about that.

House is fantastic. Used Shea to hire fence install; terrible height placement abs more than five requests to talk with me about it, zero response. You will love the house just watch for these types of potential issues.

Very well insulated. They fix any errors. Building too many homes at once, workmanship suffering.

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 don’t think the workmanship ( ie cabinetry, electrical quality etc ) is very good As well as how parts were designed Also upon buying there should have a bit more ability to make changes

Make sure you get Everything in Writing. Because you will not get what you were told you would. Then the explanations for that from Management will be: They should not have told that. There is nothing we can do now. Sorry about that. That is an error in our system and that is what you are getting. OOPS!!

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.
