Shea Homes Reviews in Denver, CO

When it came time to select our model and features, Harmony staff were exceptionally helpful. On request, they found examples of other homes with same model and similar features, took pictures, and sent us the photos in real time, which greatly aided us in making our selections.

I've bought a number of new homes in my life and this experience has to be one of the best. The quality of the home is supurb but what really stood out was the responsivenes and follow-up. Shea representatives are easy to get hold of and seem to truly care about their customers. I highly, highly recommend.

Shea does a really great job with their new builds. We were surprised how close they stuck to the original schedule despite all of the shortages and supply chain issues. After moving in there were a few issues that have taken a long time to resolve. Our water heater was supposed to have a recirculation pump, for example. 2 months in and the recirculation pump still isn't functioning after multiple visits from plumbers and the customer care team. Overall we're happy despite the minor issues.

Shea is already above the rest of the builders in Colorado. However, they are not fulling living up to their perceived reputation. Communication, communication, communication is big in the world between customers and the business. It is just as important internally in a business. Shea has a lot of work to do with communication. Lastly, I would say Shea could do a regular audit of their employees’ job performances. Of the handful of employees I interacted with, there were a couple that had competency issues with job duties. Aside from the previous faults, I do like my house and quality within.

The whole process with Shea Homes has been great! Moving in went very smooth and the whole team has been awesome. The couple of items that didn’t get completed prior to move in have been difficult to get scheduled and had a minor miscommunication but outside of that Shea builds an amazing product. Amy and team definitely created an experience like no one else and we highly recommend purchasing a new home with Shea!

There was a change in warranty specialist which caused the issues to be delayed. Hopefully Shea Homes takes care of this transition process so the home owner is not affected.

The design portion of the home building process with Shea was great. However, the construction portion lacked in terms of communication and willingness to correct mistakes.

Shea Homes is a fantastic builder and creates high quality homes. The contracted workers who assist with the builds are not always the most mindful of their work, but Shea’s team is quick to make sure mistakes are addressed and fixed immediately. I do recommend hiring your own inspector (with any new build) to help find any errors.

We worked with Shea in the Littleton area for a new home build, and the purchase, design, and build were amazing!! The sales team was great in answering questions, providing info, and generally making the whole process feel smooth, but after they delivered the house we got to see the other side of Shea, and it has left us with buyer's remorse. The warranty team does not seem to know what is going on, and love to hide behind "supply chain" and "Covid Delays" we have been waiting 3 months for the kitchen appliances which have still not been installed. Between windows that don't work, electrical switches that don't do anything, and appliances the don't work it feels like we paid top dollar for a fixer-upper. All the while Shea continues to blow of requests, schedule repairs the never happen, and the ones they do schedule always point the finger at another trade, and shea just avoids the issue. As attentive and caring as the Sales team was at Shea, the Warranty team is the exact opposite. Please double check your builder options, and make sure you stay on top of Shea if you work with them. ... More

Overall the experience was good. Definitely frustrating that they raised prices as much as they have. Priced us out of upgrades we would have wanted. The sales and building process was fairly straightforward, but definitely took longer than they thought it would.

We had a great experience with Shea from start to finish! The whole sales office was great, especially Mac. He was very responsive when we had a snag with the design center. That issue was promptly addressed and our minds were quickly put to ease. Our realtor even said Shea was the best new build company he has ever encountered! That really reaffirmed our trust in Shea. We are in love with our new dream home!!

Just don’t have any timeline expectations for anything from the build, landscaping, appliances, and you won’t be disappointed.

Most of our house is great. The quality of most of what we have is awesome. But the details do matter and it does feel like we have some issues that Shea just isn't able to resolve -- Starting with the fact that our carpet is ruined after less than 2 months because it's impossible to clean, it pills constantly. And when it pills, it runs and loses its pattern for inches that are very noticeable. Our appliances don't match - for some inexplicable reason. And despite every attempt to get our "smart house" to connect our outlets to the app provided, we still have issues with these light switches. Do I love the house on the whole? Yes. But when you buy a million dollar house - you expect the details to be at their best. ... More

Shea builds such great communities. From the location to the amenities, every detail is thoughtfully considered and implemented. I also really enjoyed my design studio experience. The choices were abundant and delightful. I'm so happy with how everything looks. Thank you, Shea!

The Shea team stood out the most. Mac, Erin, Jeb, and Mitch were all fantastic to work with.

For us it was a no brained to go with a new build and we are so happy that it ended up being Shea.

Shea builds a high quality home and pays attention to the details. The home designs are what really sold us though. They are well thought out for today’s family lifestyles.

We had a good experience

Our experience may be unique, but we did not have a good experience with Shea throughout the buying and build process. It all depends on who you work with in the sales office, the project managers, and how they address issues that arise. Unfortunate given our situation could have been handled very differently with a better outcome.

Had a great experience with shea.

The majority of the experience has been awesome. Many of the personnel with whom we have interacted have been outstanding. Mac, Dave, Erin, Mitch, and Suzanne. - Top notch- - Many small items create big headache. Overall great experience, but Shea drops the ball on several aspects which reflect a lack of vision and consideration for residents - 2 HOA organizations to pay every month - system is subpar and cannot handle bandwidth. Must login to the same system using two different account numbers to pay HOA dues. No auto-pay options. Never heard of this. Why 2 logins? I live in 1 neighborhood. If Shea has subcontracted out services, it is Shea's responsibility to then divide up the money and pay what is due to whoever. NOT the resident. - the fence is put on the homeowners, This creates an extremely awkward situation with new relationships with neighbors. residents with dogs have to suffer through movein and the period before a fence can be installed. We must reach out to get the email for neighbors to try and coordinate the plan and payment. My neighbor has elected to not pay me for the fence I coordinated, scheduled for install, and handled in full, This is Shea's responsibility and they have fallen WAY short by throwing this on new homeowners. Do you sell a house with a driveway. I paid >$600,000 for a new home... you can't install a fence??? ignorance! - The majority of homeowners have a truck. Driveways are not long enough for a fullsize truck to park, A mid size truck barely fits, forcing parking on the street. I paid for a decent sized yard and Shea leaves everyone's setback the same. If I purchased a larger yard, my front AND back yard should be larger. I didn't purchase a large yard so the front of my house sits directly on the sidewalk. Balance out the front/back yards for those who paid for more space. Maybe we wanted a longer driveway so we could park in our own property. This is an EXTREMELY ignorant design for an experienced community builder like Shea, who restricts street parking. I'm sure complaints will start before long about vehicles parked on the street, but Shea has caused the issue and there is no solution. Mini driveways do not facilitate vehicle ownership in the USA in 2022. This might make sense in Europe where they restrict vehicle size, but here it provides benefit for Shea to sell more properties and make more money while creating headaches for their unsuspecting new residents. - concrete is problematic. basement, garage, and driveway are already cracked in the field and in the joints after less than 12 months in service. Shea warranty on concrete is insufficient. Concrete will continue to crack and grow larger until after Shea warranty expires, becoming the problem of the homeowner after Shea walks away. Poor quality and workmanship in concrete - many of the screens were bent when forced into the frame, and others were left partially installed because they could not be bent enough and the installer walked away ...

Very friendly and easy to work with

Really like the build quality and great value

We are extremely pleased with all the phases and personal interaction with everyone, as we are now on the second month living in our new Shea home — from the sales office, to the building process, to the new home follow ups — having a quality, personal contact during each step of the process.

Patience, Willy, Austin, and Eric have all been excellent. The level of service is outstanding, they each set appropriate expectations and delivered.
