Shea Homes Reviews

Tami and Cathy they are all great!

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

Overall was a positive experience from initial interactions all the way to closing. Shea team did job of keeping us updated along the way and were responsive to queries and clarifications, and we had pleasant interactions with entire team we were engaged with. Our closing walk through found mostly minor issues so that came as a good surprise. The workmanship while not perfect (we don't expect any home builder to be) certainly met our expectations for the most parts. Would recommend based on our experience so far.

A very pleasant and positive experience

Our experience with shea has been outstanding! Rachelle was always super responsive and helpful. Since we were relocating from MN she kept us in the loop and shared photos of the progress. Randy the construction manager was also great, he kept us update on the progress and anticipated completion date. I would highly recommend building with Shea specifically at Sunterra!

Lovely experience with Shea Homes ! I would definitely recommend .

Many nice people living in the community, lots of events, clubs and something to do for everyone. Shea Homes salespeople are wonderful to work with. Many things in the choices need to be improved upon when designing the home. Better attention to individual homes for completion. Move in inspection should be improved upon also.

Sales team was great up until I dropped of the deposit check, and then communication was sparse. They neglected to tell me what was in the model homes but not in my unit, and no option for any changes or additions before drywall went up. They are slow to fix problems and some of the problems have returned. Other problems were 'within tolerance' and not fixed. The location is excellent, but feels overpriced for what you get (no yard here and very high HOA dues.) It's fine, but probably not the best choice for me - was hoping for more than just 'fine.'

Since it was our first time buying a new home, we had a lot of trepidation and questions. From day one, Libby, Helen, and Kelly greeted us warmly and sincerely. Throughout the whole process, Kelly guided us professionally and answered all our concerns. SHE IS WONDERFUL! Through the actual building of our house, Darren and Tracy were EXCELLENT! They tended to every detail and were top-notch in seeing that our house was built well. We would definitely recommend Shea Homes! Everyone was attentive to our requests and positively responded with good results.

Was a terrific experience, Tammy at sales office was such a pleasure to work with. Dan the warranty officer has been very helpful and attentive. Facilities and staff at Club and pool are great.

Great workmanship and Warranty follow up is first class. Thanks James and Daniel. We are very pleased. This is our seventh or eight build and our best.

The experience up to the closing was great, but once you sign your name on the dotted line, good luck getting anything done. The warranty department is like pulling your own teeth, they have a lot of excuses for any problems you bring up, after you move in you’ll start finding issues with the poor workmanship.

the build time exceeded over a year. this was unacceptable and caused us to lose our rate lock. our construction manager was fantastic and communicated terrifically.

Fantastic experience and would highly recommend!

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.

some accessories used is old fashioned, Dimmers, Dimmable bulbs, Softclose toilet seats.

There is a lot of below-quality workmanship we found out. Most electrical power outlets were installed unsymmetrically. The kitchen cabinets have a lot of dings. One of our windows is uneven measurements. That's what we observed within the first few weeks of moving in

Great construction manage - very well managed

HVAC seems to be poorly installed. Multiple issues in first couple months in the home. Walls cut open everywhere, mold from condensation.

To sum this up: the field people are terrible at quality control! Going back and forth 3-5 times for the same issue is poor management.

Everyone we touched from Shea are so helpful and trustworthy. All minor issues could be fixed asap.

Sales team was very friendly and knowledgeable. They made the purchasing process fairly easy. Our issues started toward the end of the construction process: inconsistent quality control, pipes that were hanging 12 inches lower than they should have been in the basement, and a water heater that needed to be moved 3 different times. It was difficult to get concerns addressed throughout construction and during the final walkthroughs. We kept being told “well, it was built to our standards.” If that’s truly the case, Shea Homes needs to re-examine its standards. The goal was clearly to build our home as quickly as possible without much attention to detail. We were hoping for a much more positive experience after the great service we received from the sales team. ... More

The sales team (Lorena, Spencer, Josephine) communicated very well and in a positive manner. They were always responsive. Our interior designer, Lorri, was excellent and great to work with. Angel, the superintendent, was awesome and very knowledgeable of new residential construction. Superior workmanship, materials and quality building. Overall, we are thrilled with our brand new beautiful Shea Home! It's truly a dream come true!

Hard to communicate with builder ….only text messages his phone mailbox always full. I understand delays but communication important! He was better toward end of construction _ mind you a year and half! I had one month appointment and still two issues not resolved? I’ve called twice - no call back? It’s been a month - I’ll have these two issues on the 5 month appointment- a few other things are needing attention as well! I get new homes always have issues - usually simple but would be nice for at least a call back.

From the initial visit at Dunes the sales office did a great job reviewing the lots and the purchase process. Our experience with Shea mortgage was very disappointing, the agent had no clues to look into our credit and assets . I would not recommend working with the mortgage company. Once we got our loan approval from another agent, the home buying became fun, the design center agent was very helpful to select options , the walk through was absolutely incredible, very thorough, and educational .
