Shea Homes Reviews

This was our first home purchase and we were pleasantly surprised to experience very little stress as it relates to ensuring the place was free from issues and we closed relatively quickly as well. Since moving in Shea and the warranty lead has been very quick to resolve any issue that arises and genuinely wanting us to be very happy with the purchase. I would recommend buying a shea home to anyone.

Good quality and great customer support

Shea representatives from Sales to Building Sup’s and Support Staff, have been fantastic. Many are lifelong employees, which says A Lot, and they all seem to care about providing a great experience and buttoned-up final product. Of course, there are ALWAYS issues at the end of a build and after closing, and you can always expect minor fixes & finishes to be needed. Most frustrations we have had are scheduling trades to fix details post-closing and a few things that could have been avoided with more care during the build (again back to trades - not Shea or Shea employees). Overall - we are very happy, satisfied and recommend Shea! ... More

Claire was extremely helpful,and a pleasure to work with.I highly recommend Shea Homes

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.

Generally speaking, I have good experience with the home purchase. Shea delivered the home on-time. However, there are lots of issues in the home. Just mention a few examples, such as air conditioning did not work because someone turned off the switch and we don't know where it is; doors are not properly polished and crooked, which we are still work with customer service to make correction; there are big holes under carpet, which just have been corrected. Paint needs to be touched due to either incomplete painting or have defects. I like your customer service personnel, who works with us closely to overcome the issues. Your continuous support is important to make the home cosmetics and functional right. ... More

Aside from the challenges of completing the home during the middle of the pandemic and resulting schedule delays, overall we're satisfied with the house and how Shea is responding to punchlist and warranty requests. Quality of the house is good and nothing major so far.

Very helpful in most areas

the seller is good

When going over the options the sales team encouraged you to shop around for the best options for your needs and lifestyle. They didn’t try to encourage you to just buy what they offered.

Sales office and Shea home mortgage personnel are very responsive for questions. The design and layout of the house is very modern. Love the house fill with lights.
