Shea Homes Reviews

Overall it was a very pleasant and easy purchase and we are very happy here. Quality work and quality follow through!

I was so impressed when I saw Shea home and I told my wife this is it because I love the styles and size. I am happy we moved in already. Is a smart home quality and great value. The builder team is on point and accurate updating. Know what you want and go get it.

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

Great neighborhood. Uncomfortable living in construction area. Flat tires due to construction nails. Lower quality products. Careless errors . Endless mud.

The sales team was outstanding, and structurally, we love the house. The floor plan works well for us, and the house itself is well built. But the quality and condition of the appliances is another story. The dishwasher and hot water heater were defective when installed and were not repaired promptly. The kitchen faucet turned on by itself, wasting considerable water. These things shouldn't be happening in an expensive, brand-new house.

Tarry our Sales Rep was fantastic! Excellent follow thru skills and knowledge. I am a realtor and know what makes a great sales person and Tarry definitely has the "it" factor. She is trustworthy and provides great customer satisfaction. I also want to mention that our Warranty Specialist Richard is outstanding! His work ethic and follow thru is impeccable. Richard is extremely helpful and ALWAYS willing to lend a helping hand. I can't say enough good things about Richard. These 2 individuals represent Shea Homes in the highest possible light. We feel so fortunate to be living "My Trilogy Life". Thank you Tarry and Richard ... More

Everyone from Shea was very helpful navigating the homebuying process. Thank you!

I love my new townhome and was very pleased with how much the builder works on educating new homeowners and how to use everything. I like how they visit us at one month five months and 11 months.

The entire process - pre release reservations seminars ,on site tours, lot reservation, design studio, customer walkthrough and warranty support was very organized and well managed. Had a great experience working with Micah, Hella, Kveta & Duane! All of them always went above and beyond!

Kirstie kept us informed during the building process of the delays we were incurring. We have been in the house two months and expected some snags in the new house. The response to correcting these snags has been mediocre in the sense of timeliness, the initiative on the part of the builder, and the accuracy of the corrective action. For example, a 220 Volt outlet was ordered in one specific part of the house. An additional outlet was actually wired to 220 V unbeknownst to us. We ruined several appliances in the troubleshooting process not to mention a potentially hazardous situation. The staff has been helpful but I can only assume they are overloaded with work to be done/corrected. Thermostat was also somehow miswired causing it to NOT shut off the Air Conditioner. It was apparent that finishing touches were rushed to make the 30 Sept closing deadline (delayed from original 30 April closing) to include no water softener installed yet, poorly finished landscaping of the yard, missing door hardware, and some smaller items. Still awaiting several snags to be fixed, corrected, replaced, or rectified after what has seemed a reasonable amount of time. ... More

I purchased my home from Shea at end of sept 2022. I love my home. Shea made the whole buying process extremely easy and every step of the way each employee was responsive and very kind. Even after my home buying experience the warranty rep has treated me the same way. It has been an effortless process, my hardest experience was staying on the wait list to get my lot and then waiting for my home to be built. This is my second new home in 7 years. I built with another builder for my previous home and my experience buying my first new home was very poor along with their warranty service. My new home with Shea is built as solidly as the model I walked through several times. Highly highly recommend Shea. Thank you Shea for not cutting corners and delivering a quality product with quality workmanship and employees. ... More

The positives. Shea builds a good home, and their staff is friendly and largely helpful. Issues encountered along the way in construction and close inspection were addressed timely. My issues have mostly been around post close items. The landscaper (TLB) didn’t follow up per 30 day. It took repeated outreaches to get them scheduled to resolve issues, and they’re still not fully addressed, and communication is very poor. Overall, I’d recommend others to Shea, but Shea should utilize their leverage with TLB to ensure the full experience is positive.

The process was fairly well orchestrated throughout the months it took to complete. There were problems encountered outside the builder’s control that could have been better communicated but the overall experience was a good one with very positive results.

I highly recommend Shea. The design, tech and building experience has been amazing.

My husband and I had a great home buying experience with Shea Homes! Our home did get delayed a few weeks but we were kept up to date on the progress. Micah also always responded quickly to all questions and concerns we had. We are so grateful and happy with our home!

I encourage buyers to document conversations about color schemes and upgrades especially if the home is flipped from the model. Don’t trust that the electrician at the designer will remember that your home is flipped from the model. Also, get clarification about membership dues and the three HOA fees and assessments up front! Knowing what I know now, would I do it again? Probably not.

Overall we are pleased with the price for the quality. We did not like the lack of communication and taking sometimes 2 weeks to get a response to a question. We also only got updates every 2 weeks by email, no calls, no customer service in that regard. Most emails were along the lines of "hey we got your framing done, next is air conditioning" with no timeline, no response to my question on when the hvac crew would be there. They never confirmed anything related to the schedule until it was already completed. I spoke with their Director of Construction Shawn and he was short, wouldn't offer any information on when they were scheduling tasks to be completed and essentially laughed when I asked for a concession because we were told at contract 7-9 months when it took 12 months and 9 days from contract to closing. At the end, we are paying $700 more a month because they could not complete the home in 9 months or less due to interest rates. I have spent 20 years in the residential construction and home building business and this was not the norm even with the supply chain and labor struggles in the market. The super that finished our home didn't complete 75% of the list we made 8 days before closing. On the final sign off the day before closing we noted most of those items and the painters had shown up as we were leaving. Not the way to do business and we spent most of the 12 months frustrated with Shea Homes and there just wasn't much we could do about it. Here we are 2 months post closing and we still are waiting another week to get the items that were supposed to be done prior to closing completed. ... More

From sales people (Philipp, Patti) to Arielle, to construction workers (Mannie, etc), to follow-up (Roy, Albert), have always been helpful, and responded positively, professionally, and personably. Great crew. I felt that in construction, some of the wood used in framing wasn't quite up to par, but I understand the delays, etc because of the Pandemic--as well as not always getting the best people to do the work. We'll forgive you: Shea is a great builder!

Going through the “lottery” experience was quite new, exciting, even though it took 3 tries. I almost dropped out of the running. But now I’m in a lovely home just right for me. I trusted Trilogy since I chose a home that didn’t have a model available to walk through. My mortgage company worked well with Trilogy. Only comment the upgraded “Shea” shower could be more solid and outside the air conditioning unit of my neighbor is right out my patio door. However I do love all my upgrades.

My superintendent, Ryan, that worked with me during the project was triple A. He was all over everything and should be commended. 3 disappointments. 1) Quality of actual paint should be upgraded. Pulls off with blue tape, feels cheap. 2)This is our 2nd Shea House in 2 years. We built in the Canyons in Colorado. Better trades in Colorado than AZ. Cleaner workmanship. Oh well. Our 2nd bath, bath tubs, weren't covered during construction with cardboard and got scratched in Colorado. We warned Trilogy VR super of same possibility and got deaf ears. Scratches again, difficult to fix. Unnecessarily annoying. This was our 10th new build and have experienced this before. Seems like a simple fix to me. 3) We used your pool guy CalPools. Pool, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor grill. Nobody recommended to upgrade propane tank size. Our first pool. I learned our 120 gallon tank is filled to only 95 gallons. Pool heater burns 6 gallons per hour according to AZ Gas . The math doesn’t work well. We ran out of gas after turning on heater for pool for what seemed like 6-8 hours. Big surprise. Somebody from Shea Sales, or initial Shea construction meeting, or Shea landscape meeting, should have pointed this out to us. Now I have to tear up the landscaped front yard and deal with all sorts of companies to get this approved and remodeled. Now I am at the mercy of their pricing and owning an extra 120 gallon propane tank. Frankly, it is borderline unexcusable considering how many pools Shea has been involved with. Overall very pleased with house and Lala is doing her best to take care of warranty issues. The Shea landscaper did above average job, but has been very cooperative and accommodating since we moved in. Love the appreciation. Do the right thing and share the cost with the Pickleball Club and build some desperately needed extra courts. Embrace the opportunity to get some very good press about building more courts. Don't risk the potential for bad press if you don't help the club with more courts. It could get ugly for you. Turn this opportunity to a positive so you can crow about how Shea has recognized how big this sport has become for their Trilogy residents. Don't let the opposite happen. The sport has become huge for this demographic. We already have club state champions! ... More

Great team, from the sales representative to the builder as well as the warranty team. Warranties are amazing, every small detail found after moving in was handled promptly.

Our experience with Shea was wonderful. All the people we came in contact with were very professional and knew their jobs. From construction to design Shea was there for us. Problems were addressed and solved to our satisfaction. Rob our contractor was good at detail and finishing the job. Highly recommend Shea to build your next home

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

nice to have new house, but tankless water heater has been a major issue
