Shea Homes - I have been living in the Cay since March.

  • Joshua C.

I have been living in the Cay since March. During this period of time, I have scheduled for three major repairs: the laundry room leaking, kitchen hood no ventilation, the AC unit leaking. All three problems were caused by workmanship not material itself. The worst experience is noise level from construction. Shea Home could have done better if considering strategically new phase construction impact to customers who are living in the closed phases. Workers started work at 7 am with loud machinery noise and unbearable dust. Very disturbing!

Details matter

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 ...

Shea Home Buying Experience

Great customer service by Josephine Hasting & Jibron aka Joey the construction guy was very informative & patient with going over the details of the new home With us. Ricky was a very pushy guy who didn’t let me note any minor issues in the house, as he says “everything can’t be perfect “. There is a lack of response to house issues as we’re still waiting for our floors issues to be fixed, but we love our new home. Love the community get togethers to meet our new neighbors and the quick development of our neighborhood/community. Glad to part of the Shea community.

Generally good production build experience. Would have liked more flexibility with options and finishing, such as built-in cabinetry and shelving in the great room and study, or requiring the Shea pre-defined basement finish floor plan to get 10' foundation walls.

Nice house. Good quality but could be better. Builder very rigid with their dates and times for required meetings. Correcting issues after the sale has been a slow process.

Our Dream Home - with Challenges

  • Alan S.

Finding The Grove and going through the process of application and hopeful anticipation on being able to purchase a home was both exciting and stressful. The Shea representatives could not have been more helpful as we set out on our journey. We were encouraged to visit as the build of our home started and we did that......coming out every week to see how the house was progressing. We watched it go from an empty plot of dirt - to a foundation and more. We met the crew foremen, who through the entire process were as professional and nice as anyone you could ever meet. When we had ...

garages are extremely small and no 4 car option. Numerous issues in need of correcting after close. Appliance options are poor. Monogram is a terrible product! There's no flexibility in finishes and few options.

Shea builds a good product. We purchased a model home in Gateway Quarter and although it was priced as-is, the prep of repairing items such as holes in the wall and paint matching was not good. Promises regarding the replacement of dead landscaping were not kept.

Hi Gary. Thanks for your feedback. Our sales manager has contacted you about the landscaping issues. shea

Solar panel connections were the night mare. Solar Power company is not responsive and very difficult to reach. Thanks to Ryan the tech, he fixed everything. My power grid was pressure washed and of course full of dust and also rust can you imagine in a brand new home your power grid is like that. Night mare.

Overall a reasonable experience. While a large company centered on process, people make or break their experience. We did run into some bad apples, but that was made up to some degree by others. We are still awaiting for the customer service to meet our expectations.

Buying was the east part, getting things fixed has been challenging. Both due to availability and half baked solutions, appointments are rescheduled without any communication, contractors refusing to fix things and blaming the issue on another team (plumber refusing to fix water pressure and passes blame to appliance installer when the issue is the water pressure from the wall, at another appointment scheduled for two window issues and contractor refused to fix one issue saying one window would be fixed by another team from the same company only to come back with the same team at another ...

Everyone is responsive and will answer you in a short time. But after 5 months we still are waiting for repairs to our fireplace and stucco. The bathroom shower is dripping, plants that were supposed to be replaced 4 months ago still haven’t been replaced. Bathroom hardware fell off the wall and the front yard has sunk along the gas line from the rain. It was explained to me when this happened at a Taylor Morrison neighborhood that it was because of improper packing of the soil when the gas lines were installed. We waited for our range and hood due to shipping issues, which we ...
