Customer Reviews

we never felt like we could trust any progress or updates on the building process, lost my faith in Shea as a quailty home builder

Please make sure your project manager stays focused on all aspects during the building process, and doesn't make excuses for what she or he can't keep up with. Most alarming was hearing we weren't getting a custom home, even from the Contruction Manager. We all know these aren't custom homes, but most of us have upgraded our homes to make what we would like to have included.

Shea Homes responded:
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, Michele. The team at Wickenburg Ranch, specifically Annie, will continue to work with you on any issues on your new home. trilogy

Go with Shea!

From beginning to end, Shea was amazing. The sales, construction, and warranty team have been very responsive, helpful and professional with our questions. The “standard” options were far better than other builders for a fair price and the upgrades equally as fair. We love this house and are so happy with what Shea has provided.

Shea is a good builder. We've built two homes with them, However the Canyons home has sloppy workmanship. Many items were installed wrong, banged up, loose, missing, incomplete, not working etc

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.

Shea Homes - Trilogy - Be aware that if you buy a “Designer” home, it’s nothing more

  • Liz W.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • December 07, 2021
  • Front Royal, VA

Be aware that if you buy a “Designer” home, it’s nothing more than a spec home with no extras. I’ve already spent $25k upgrading things…not happy about that.

Shea Homes responded:
Hi Liz. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. A designer home is an already under construction home that will close before a new build, allowing you to move in sooner. Because the home has started, many of the options and upgrades within the home have already been chosen by our design team. We do try to add a mix of our most popular options including upgrades versus just standards and allow for the buyer to choose or change some options providing those changes fit within our construction schedule. If you have concerns about the options/upgrades in your home, please reach out to our sales manager Wendy to review these items. ...

This is my first home purchase for my wife and I. The response time to have someone answer my questions or to really elaborate on what needs to be done took weeks at times. I would have to reach out multiple times before getting a response.

Shea Homes - Trilogy - Builder is slow to respond to issues.

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • December 02, 2021
  • Brentwood, CA

Builder is slow to respond to issues. Lack of transparency with items that they will not be able to complete and/or deliver by the time the house is delivered to home buyer. Poor coordination and communication with Shea staff as well as with trades. Lack of accountability for trades that don’t do their job well or staff that don’t follow through.

The builder has a an attitude of it is our way or go somewhere else. The communication is spotty and not always consistent among their employees. The house itself is okay but nothing special. I have worked with other builders and would rate Shea as mediocre at best.

House is fantastic. Used Shea to hire fence install; terrible height placement abs more than five requests to talk with me about it, zero response. You will love the house just watch for these types of potential issues.

Shea Homes responded:
Hi Alison. Thanks for providing your feedback. I spoke with Barry today and he did let me know the fence issues have been taken care of. If you are still experiencing any issues, please reach out to Barry or to customerservice@sheahomes.com. trilogy

The build experience towards the end was stressful. We chose upgrades that we had to follow up on. The project management was lacking. The workmanship was not good. We are still dealing with issues like basic finishing of tiles that have grout haze on them, Lvp flooring with stains. Quite disappointed

Shea Homes responded:
Hi Sharmila. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your home. We will continue to be in contact with you to work through the items noted on your 1-month visit. We're working now to get our contractors scheduled to address these items. shea

Lack of oversight by field managers during construction led to utterly disgraceful results, especially with electrical issues, still ongoing 3 months in.

  • Christopher M.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • November 25, 2021
  • Wickenburg, AZ

ANYTHING to do with workmanship, or requiring individual competence in a trade was terrible. Entire electrical system had to be virtually re-done, inside and out. While being told during the process, everything was going great, I would come here and the home was a disaster, led to 4 -6 week delay. Many issues still not resolved. Our 30 day inspection fixes MIGHT be partially done by the 90 day point. Electriacl, tile/grout, paint are a constant source frustration/battle with Shea. Dishwasher didn't work for 60 days and Shea forced me to get our own repair person who threatened to walk ...
