Pretty amazing that during a pandemic you were able to complete the phases and project on time.

I am impressed with the quality of the work and the responsiveness to questions during the building process by all Shea team members. Since Closing, the responsiveness by customer service to issues and/or questions has been impressive.

Most brand-new houses have a number of issues, which is understandable. But thanks to excellent Shea Homes customer service, we have most issues addressed in a timely manner. Shea representative, Antonio, has been prompt and courteous. Overall home buying experience has been great. Many thanks!

Loved the sales process, but was very disappointed with the design center

  • Eric S.

  • Yorba Linda, CA

Be prepared to do a fair amount of tile, color, flooring shopping and design ideas on your own before meeting in the design center as the time is limited and the choices even more limited.

I know its hot market and you are trying to build fast. But the decrease in quality is showing. I have a family member who bough with shea a few years ago and the quality difference is night and day. The workmanship has dropped. Change your subs or have a talk with them.

New home met our expectations. A few minor issues; however, response to service requests have been slow or ignored altogether. Leaves a sour note on an otherwise good experience.

Overall a reasonable experience. While a large company centered on process, people make or break their experience. We did run into some bad apples, but that was made up to some degree by others. We are still awaiting for the customer service to meet our expectations.
