Shea Homes Reviews

Well, it took a very long time to get the house but, it was worth the wait. First and foremost, the location is premium! The builder kept many of the older trees and blended water tolerant plants to create an open, green environment The architecture, aligned to Feng Shui principles, reinforces the feeling of harmony and tranquility reflected in the community. Finally, I have to truly say that Philippe's genius matched us with the most delightful neighbors. Wayne and I feel grateful and fortunate to have found our last home. Thank you, Shea,

Had good working relationship with sales team, construction crew and post-completion complaaints team. Would have liked to see Shea offer more options at reasonable price, like interior cabinet, garage flooring, etc.

The overall buying experience was great. What I do think could have been improved is the oversight of the contractors. For our particular home there were some serious plumbing issues that had to be resolved right after closing. I understand that they work with a lot of contractors, but these types of things need to be caught and addressed before closing ideally. The sales team were amazing and always diligent in responding back to our questions/concerns. We never felt pressured to buy or forced to buy and they were always transparent of the entire process. Including discussing easements, what the HOA covers, important timelines, closing handouts, etc. ... More

We love our new home.

This is a very well designed complex with nice grounds. The units have smart home devices. It would have been nice to have assistance with setting up these devices. I still can't get my garage door app to work. All other devices are setup. Including the Ring doorbell, both thermostats, hot water heater, oven & microwave.

My house was built in time and whenever there was an issue they were quick to address it.

Our Sales Person and Field/Site Manager were willing to do whatever it took to make us happy. Above and beyond what might be expected.

Good build quality, but not great. Sales process was simple and streamlined. Overall a good experience except for HOA CC&Rs - overkill for 70 home tract.

As a first time I was apprehensive of how it will be, but the Shea team helped me step by step throughout the home buying process. Most importantly since I was one of the first 3 buyers in this community we got a really good value for money.

Working with Shea has been a very positive experience. I have nothing but great things to say about them. My one negative has been the third party landscaper chosen which is Gothic Landscape. If I had known how unresponsive and unreliable they are, I would have waited to do my full landscaping with another vendor after closing.

Jaime was very healthy in sales office and Brooke was outstanding seeing things that needed corrected at the one month repair period.

The homebuying process was smooth with good customer service. The house is well-built and made from quality materials, but some design flaws leave a bit of an unpleasant aftertaste. For example, a few awkward door swings, a poorly placed light switch, and a strange kitchen layout make you wonder if the home design was tested for functionality. Some of these issues were addressed and modifications were accepted, but some other issues were simply ignored.

We had a great experience buying our first home with Shea! From the design team working with Lorri, to working with Tom and Victor, they are always responsive and here to help! Victor stops by often if we have a question and to check on us and we really appreciate that. We feel cared for and everyone we've worked with has felt like a friend!

Shea built a quality home with added great features. Their sales staff is very responsive and their workmanship is high quality.

It has been a great experience purchasing my Shea home. Everyone we've met from the sales office to the service team is very professional and helpful, except for Michele in the Design office (I believe she is a VP of some sort), who told me to rethink if this is the right home for me when I requested some minor design changes during the design phase.

floor plan is so good

I appreciated the professionalism of the staff throughout our home buying process. I felt comfortable discussing issues that arise and confident that they would be resolved. I did not like that we had to had to do our walkthrough and close on our purchase before everything was completed. There are many issues we found after we’ve moved in that we now have to address through the warranty department. It’s frustrating having to book appointments and take time off work to handle these issues. Additionally, there were minor changes we wished Shea had offered like adding or moving outlets or putting in a regular bathroom door that are difficult and expensive to make after construction. Considering how much this house cost, this makes the value for the price paid significantly lower. ... More

Shea was very responsive at every step of the way. We are very happy with our home. In full transparency, there were a few workmanship issues with the house (expected for houses being built at this scale), but Shea's customer service and warranty quickly addressed any issues and continue to follow up proactively.

We are happy to do bussiness with Sbea

Shea has been very responsive to issues. The quality of the home is very good.

The ladies in the office were extremely pleasant and very helpful. They gave us and continue to give us lots of useful information.

Shae was great with keeping my husband and I updated during the home building process. We purchase during Covid and there were a lot of delays due to Covid delays. The construction manager was an angel and very responsive every time we sent a question or concern. Very happy with our builder choice!!! We love our new home!

Had a great experience with Shea overall at the direct level. However, had I hired some of the subcontractors myself outside of costs being part of the mortgage — including those who did the blinds (sloppy work), solar/Sdge (still trying to setup), or misnamed “white glove” service (just a bizarre lack of quality service) — I would have moved on long ago and found better service providers. Two months in, I still can’t get a few things completed that should be off the list of to-dos. These annoyances, and I hate to say it, ultimately fall back on Shea Homes — who has otherwise been fantastic. Overall, the important things are more than great. The annoyance level grievances are just an honest assessment of things a new homeowner, in a perfect world, should not have to waste so much time dealing with and Shea Homes should be more discerning/on-top-of their subcontractors on behalf of their new homeowners. ...

Overall I felt Shea did a good job

The location is fantastic... The quality, communication and sales efforts were first class! The upgrade process was grueling but worthwhile. A few glitches but that's expected! All in all, The Grove is a Homerun... and the folks are very professional to work with.
