Shea Homes Reviews in Boise, ID

The design process was very easy and straight forward. We wish there were more options as far as the backyard and fencing like another Trilogy property next door has. Also having the amenities up and running faster would also be a good thing. Overall though very happy with our new home.

We had health hardship and wanted to stay with present doctors out of state where we were living and cancel ,before builder had started work on house. They responded with keeping our entire large deposit if we cancelled even though my wife was in a life threatening situation. This was not buyers remorse ,but a rea l health scare.

Our positive part of this experience has been with the sales team, especially Anjuli and the building manager, Ryan. The negative portion of the experience is simply the quality of home and craftsmanship which is subpar. This is from framing and exterior wall studs between 16" to 24". Closer to 24" than 16", but never uniform. The backplash tile was redone, cabinets not level, mud on can lights, painting trim redone, exterior painting redone, very cheap linoleum that tore quite easily in the laundry room, an air bubble in the LVP, the island counter was not square and the dining room wall was not square. Shea has fixed nearly all of the defects. We have had to spend lots of additional money to fix shortcomings and just make the home look like it has a higher quality to it. ... More

There is no storage is this house in the laundry room or room to place linen and bedding. The bathroom needs more drawers under the bathroom counter.

Should have done back yards for all homes not just the inventory homes that are not selling.

We know people that have bought in other Shea communities - Washington, southern California and Arizona. Build quality and process is night and day over Shea Trilogy Valor. The build quality has fallen short in most major categories, both interior and exterior. We were advocates of Shea Homes prior to buying into Valor. The only bright and shining stars in the home buying process are the warranty specialist and the representative of the homeowner's association! Very attentive, efficient and knowledgeable. Thank you.

There was nothing positive about this building experience! It was a nightmare. Though out the precess there was little to no transparency for the buyer/owner. Moreover, and totally unacceptable, "operations" was uncaring of anyone's needs but its own. Nothing but extreme anxiety for us most every step of the way through out the process.

Everyone has been easy to work with and very responsive.

Let me start by saying that this is the third new construction home I have purchased from a National homebuilder. I can tell you that there were things that went wrong along the way, but buying from a family owned private homebuilder makes all the difference in the world. The people are trustworthy, the company cares and they make things right if things go wrong. That and the neighbors and the friendships in this community are unlike anything you are going to find anywhere else. I would live in a tent to be around these people. I bet everyone would still bring wine over and offer to help me hang my rain cover! ... More

Knowledgeable, attentive and caring sales, construction and customer service professionals. It’s been a pleasure for us to work with them.

This is our fifth new home and the workmanship is the worst. Multiple cabinets still need to be replaced as they are warped, cracked or split and the crown molding was not installed. Some flooring needs to be replaced, some plaster is poorly done or not done at all and until yesterday, there was blue tape everywhere to indicate poorly painted, or unpainted, areas. We are still missing two appliances, a shower curtain rod, grab bars for the showers, and a toe kick under a cabinet. The designer should be fired as there are no drawers in two bathrooms, one of which is the master bath with two sinks, the shower stalls should be larger, medicine cabinets should have adjustable shelves, and the pantry should be bigger. The designer should consider using large drawers in the kitchen instead of cabinets with pullout bottom shelves with small, hard to reach shelves above the pullouts. As this is a 55+ community, doors should be a little wider to easily accommodate the use of walkers and wheelchairs. ... More

House was not ready when we moved in. Quality was not good as our previous Shea home. This situation is understandable because of the economic conditions during building. But we bought a life style rather than just a house. We love it

Being at the beginning of a new community build has alot of kinks to work out. Fortunately, BreAnn and my Project Manager Will, along with my Warrantee person, Gus have been easy to work with and responsive. Along with many supply shortages, there have been significant shortages in Skilled labor which has caused delay and less than desirable end results with certain trades. Will and Breann and GUS (he's a GEM) have worked hard to remedy various issues.
