Shea Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

I highly recommend Shea. The design, tech and building experience has been amazing.

Going through the “lottery” experience was quite new, exciting, even though it took 3 tries. I almost dropped out of the running. But now I’m in a lovely home just right for me. I trusted Trilogy since I chose a home that didn’t have a model available to walk through. My mortgage company worked well with Trilogy. Only comment the upgraded “Shea” shower could be more solid and outside the air conditioning unit of my neighbor is right out my patio door. However I do love all my upgrades.

My superintendent, Ryan, that worked with me during the project was triple A. He was all over everything and should be commended. 3 disappointments. 1) Quality of actual paint should be upgraded. Pulls off with blue tape, feels cheap. 2)This is our 2nd Shea House in 2 years. We built in the Canyons in Colorado. Better trades in Colorado than AZ. Cleaner workmanship. Oh well. Our 2nd bath, bath tubs, weren't covered during construction with cardboard and got scratched in Colorado. We warned Trilogy VR super of same possibility and got deaf ears. Scratches again, difficult to fix. Unnecessarily annoying. This was our 10th new build and have experienced this before. Seems like a simple fix to me. 3) We used your pool guy CalPools. Pool, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor grill. Nobody recommended to upgrade propane tank size. Our first pool. I learned our 120 gallon tank is filled to only 95 gallons. Pool heater burns 6 gallons per hour according to AZ Gas . The math doesn’t work well. We ran out of gas after turning on heater for pool for what seemed like 6-8 hours. Big surprise. Somebody from Shea Sales, or initial Shea construction meeting, or Shea landscape meeting, should have pointed this out to us. Now I have to tear up the landscaped front yard and deal with all sorts of companies to get this approved and remodeled. Now I am at the mercy of their pricing and owning an extra 120 gallon propane tank. Frankly, it is borderline unexcusable considering how many pools Shea has been involved with. Overall very pleased with house and Lala is doing her best to take care of warranty issues. The Shea landscaper did above average job, but has been very cooperative and accommodating since we moved in. Love the appreciation. Do the right thing and share the cost with the Pickleball Club and build some desperately needed extra courts. Embrace the opportunity to get some very good press about building more courts. Don't risk the potential for bad press if you don't help the club with more courts. It could get ugly for you. Turn this opportunity to a positive so you can crow about how Shea has recognized how big this sport has become for their Trilogy residents. Don't let the opposite happen. The sport has become huge for this demographic. We already have club state champions! ... More

Our experience with Shea was wonderful. All the people we came in contact with were very professional and knew their jobs. From construction to design Shea was there for us. Problems were addressed and solved to our satisfaction. Rob our contractor was good at detail and finishing the job. Highly recommend Shea to build your next home

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

Poor workmanship. Many things were rushed, and it shows.

We looked for a couple years before deciding on an Encanterra home- unfortunately our timing gave us a lottery as are only option for a home. We won our pick and were so excited except it took 7 mo longer to build than expected. Our salesman was the best and so patient with the time, questions and our needs along the way. Unfortunately, we have had many issues with our new build that need attention. Our pergola is the wrong size, our oven broke, our garage door opens randomly and the list goes on. I think there was a rush to finish a lot of the new buildings, so quality and dependability suffered. Our building coordinator has had her hands full with all of our issues- and has been great and efficient attending to our needs- but had the house been built properly, she wouldn’t have to back track on so many issues. Thankfully, we have a year warranty- so that gives some piece of mind to what’s been very frustrating and unexpected ... More

I had a very positive experience with Shea Homes starting with Owen, sales consultant. Alan, my construction manager, was always on top of things which was a real challenge with supply chain issues experienced because of the pandemic. And any remaining issues have been promptly addressed by Bill, my warranty specialist. I am very grateful to all who have helped me along the way.

Very mixed experience while building this house with Shea Homes. Sales people were good, but we had a pretty bad experience with the design studio. We had a great experience with the construction manager but have struggled post close with warranty items. The master planner of this community has also done a horrible job with community area, parks, and pools.

We had such a great experience with Shea! We absolutely love our house. Our sales agent Kris was so helpful throughout the process! All of the people we interacted with were friendly and made sure we were taken care of. We were nervous building during Covid, but our house was only delayed a couple months and the quality seems great. Would highly recommend a Shea home.

Great experience and well worth it.

My home buying/building experience at Verde River was long, sometimes arduous, and because it took so long interest rates went up several points in the interim. This was very upsetting to me. It was not what I’d originally signed up for. Happily, I do love my new home. It’s lovely, excellent quality, and the Shea employees from A to Z couldn’t be nicer or more helpful. The area is beautiful, the club is wonderful, and my house is now feeling like my home.

Owen was awesome to work with from the sales side. We built during a very difficult time for everyone, so I do understand the delays we went through.

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. Your Warranty Team has corrected a number of items missed at the final walk-through. ... More

Shea home builder did great job.

We love our Shea home. We wish our home home would’ve been finished as scheduled. During the delay of our home build, the interest rate started taking a huge hike. Our mortgage payment is now over $500 a month more than originally calculated. We understand the rate hike is not the builders fault, but unfortunately as the delay was happening, we were also watching the interest rates increase almost daily. We are now retired and on a fixed income, so this is very unfortunate.

Sales staff outstanding. Communications great. process they use for sub trades is great. Very ridgit with trades where by no changes can be made once customer has signed off on plans. should have some flexibility. extreme focus on quality whereby no issues to fix post closing. we would buy again from Shea

I’ve been in the Real Estate business for over 30 years as a broker in Chicago and Shea really exceeded my expectations! We built this home long distance and the experience was a pleasure from contract to closing. Everyone involved put forth exceptional effort to make sure that our home was delivered in a timely manner with few issues that we addressed immediately. Our home is beautiful and we love it! I definitely highly recommend Shea as an extremely excellent builder

Not the quality for the price. Not custom. Not clean. Layer of dust throughout, AC filters cakes with dust that unit was struggling to work, a professional was called and discovered every air filter was clogged with construction dust. Roofing was damaged and inconsistent to the point of risking leaks. Cabinets were not fully painted. Etc, etc, etc.

Great quality of materials and great workmanship and customer support

Everyone we worked with was exceptional, especially Charmaine, Kyle, and Wendy. We had a great team and really appreciate them.

I would not recommend Shea

The Sales staff did an excellent job keeping us updated on the build status. It has been more challenging getting results from the Warranty Department, but the home is very well built.

Best experience with realtor, Megan, builder Mike , design Kyle T.

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.
