Great floor plans. Great pre and post sales. Building felt rushed. Could’ve used more quality contractors with less mistakes.

The home itself is gorgeous with many upgrades in the standard package. Very spacious with huge kitchens . But the sales and communication staff lack any effort or desire for their jobs. They are unhelpful and do not inform you of community events.

First time became Shea homeowner. Super impressive with Shea sale’s team, whatever questions I had, the team always responded in a timely manner, surprisingly often received answers immediately even after their working hours. I had purchased multiple new construction homes with different builders, including renowned one. However, I rated Shea the best, from sale’s team, construction quality, etc. Definitely Shea gained my trust. I have already spread my words about Shea to my friends. It truly deserves super five stars in my mind!

My home had multiple leaks from 3 different rooms for more than 5times , shea home came and check and said everything is fine , we just did it on purpose to make it happen, that’s ridiculous! And they say they can’t help and want me to call my own insurance . Now I am searching for legal help .Don’t buy shea home !

Jacqui and Mae were great, easy to work with, and informative every step of the way. This is our second time buying a Shea home. We hope there aren't too many physical issues with the home like we had last time, and that if any, they'll be taken care of within the warranty timeframe.

Shea Homes - I have been living in the Cay since March.

  • Joshua C.

I have been living in the Cay since March. During this period of time, I have scheduled for three major repairs: the laundry room leaking, kitchen hood no ventilation, the AC unit leaking. All three problems were caused by workmanship not material itself. The worst experience is noise level from construction. Shea Home could have done better if considering strategically new phase construction impact to customers who are living in the closed phases. Workers started work at 7 am with loud machinery noise and unbearable dust. Very disturbing!

Responsive to fixes.

  • Scott T.

Matthew and Ricky are very responsive and understanding of the issues and have fixed things efficiently. Salvador seeks an excuse first to try and avoid fixing things, but fortunately, Matt and Ricky's judgement prevailed and things are being fixed to the way we prefer. Heat-pump driven multiple mini-split HVAC zoned system is still giving us issues. I believe that Ricky and Matt are dealing with several systems and haven't been able to devote much attention to ours.
