Shea Homes Reviews

many things that were not complete at move in, had to deal with workers coming to fix things for the past 4 months

Very good floor plan

Good customer care and quality construction.

Overall the experience was easy and fairly quick.

Great quality of work and very quick response to respond to any issues

While the sale of the house and responsiveness to issues is actually very excellent. I feel the quality of work was very poor and attention to detail was extremely lacking. Having to work through all the issues and make sure they get resolved seems like it could have been avoided had the work been checked thoroughly before signing off on it. Customer care rep. Dominick has been very helpful though to make sure work will be repaired to customer satisfaction and always follows through with requests.

As a first time I was apprehensive of how it will be, but the Shea team helped me step by step throughout the home buying process. Most importantly since I was one of the first 3 buyers in this community we got a really good value for money.

Really nice houses in beautiful communities

Great experience...nice people to work with...good team work. A few explanations could have been explained a little better, not living in this environment before, but all in all, very satisfied and pleased.

We have complete confidence in Shea Homes to build and stand behind a quality home. We are very pleased with our overall experience and the professionalism of their entire staff from the Sales Office to the Project Manager to the Mortgage to the after sales customer service.

Shea Homes builds a Great quality home. Beautiful Community!

We have been very pleased with the Trilogy team.

BUYER BEWARE is an understatement. The sales office claim of delivering a "zero-defect home", the result of a series of supposed meticulous inspections by teams of construction professionals is a total farce. I invited the senior Customer Service Rep and the Senior Construction Manager for ALL of Trilogy-Vistancia to my one-month follow-up. They were receptive and did attend. I presented a list of 36 issues (including cracked and chipped driveway, extensive cabinet damage, incredibly poor drywall and painting including globs of paint drips, globby/orange-peeled baseboards vs smooth finish, 5 visibly scratched windows and more), and when we were complete the list had grown to 54 (to Shea's credit for identifying additional issues)...and is still growing. The Senior Construction Manager even stated "we never should have released this home". It's clear Shea is just moving too fast and sacrificing accuracy for speed. Shea agreed to remedy all but 2 issues, but any follow-up on my satisfaction is nearly non-existent and if not for my persistent follow-up on open items this list would never be exhausted. When I inquired about any concession for the extreme impact to my time (2+ months since move-in and still working-off the punch list), establishing my home including having to obtain a storage unit given the significant amount of tile, baseboard, and wall re-work, I was informed that Shea doesn't provide any concession for work accomplished after the buyer takes possession, thus BUYER BEWARE! 54+ issues the Shea "inspection teams" missed and, if I had not identified them and insisted on remedies I'm confident they would have walked-away from this debacle with zero-interest in "customer satisfaction" (my primary Customer Service Rep is more interested in rationalizing obvious defects vs. resolving them). All this re-work is built-in to the price of the home driving the price well beyond a fair asking price. The friends we have made in this community have, and will, overcome this prolonged drive to craftsmanship vs. "craps-manship", and I remain optimistic my wife and I will ultimately enjoy our move to Trilogy; however, the home-buying experience has truly eclipsed nightmarish proportions. BUYER BEWARE! ... More

Shea is a production builder and inflexible to offer any options outside its standard ones. In some cases, like placing electrical outlets, they are very flexible, but in other cases, like flooring, appliances or kitchen/bathroom cabinetry, the choices are too constraining, staying within a single quality line from the manufacturer used (Wellborn in my case) and not offering true premium products. If you are OK with doing post-closing remodeling, then you can benefit from some of the things Shea does right, like overall great home layout, tankless water heater, and energy efficient house, which is very important. ...

Working with Shea has been a very positive experience. I have nothing but great things to say about them. My one negative has been the third party landscaper chosen which is Gothic Landscape. If I had known how unresponsive and unreliable they are, I would have waited to do my full landscaping with another vendor after closing.

Highly recommend buying a home with Shea! Great experience!

The Shea group has been extremely helpful throughout the buying process. We moved from the DFW area and were not able to make it to Spring that often to see our home being built. The Shea group kept us informed throughout the building process and even sent us pictures of our home throughout the process. The craftsmanship of our home is excellent. I have lived in our new home for about 2 months and I still pick up the phone and call the Shea group anytime I have questions and they are always very helpful. I would highly recommend Shea homes to anyone.

New home is everything I knew it would be!!!

If the homebuyers are going to contract their own landscape company, I would strongly advise them to submit their plans once the framing has been completed. It was a nightmare for us when we moved in trying to get our plans approved. We were not doing anything outside of lawn and a few plants. It took us four attempts to get our plans approved. It really caused a lot of anxiety when we first moved in and for the first month and a half, and we were not enjoying the experience. If it wasn't another tree or bush needed, it was too much lawn, or heighth on mounds, etc. . In measuring (literally) many existing lawns around us, ours was actually smaller in SF. Wendy kept talking about "they" want this or that, and some of her demands were trivial and very frustrating. We did read the landscape guidelines and were not planning anything out of the ordinary for this neighborhood. Aimee our salesperson has been wonderful. I understand why she is successful, because she is there for the buyer as well as the owner. ... More

Poor customer service and extremely poor responsiveness to home issues.

If I was going to grade the Shea group from sales to construction to customer service, it would be a D- They have "It is what it is" attitude, quality control went out the door. For the price we pay for the house I would expect better than what we received.

Easy process and good quality home

Very satisfied with home. Had one issue with paver driveway. Several of the pavers were stained and could not be cleaned. Sent emails to Customer Service requesting something be done to correct the issue. Finally the Customer Rep came and looked at the pavers and agreed to replace several of them. If has been three weeks and no action. It appears the only service from Customer Service is "lip service".

Shea was great throughout the entire building process. When there was an issue they were very responsive to resolve our concerns.

From the purchase of my home to the settlement the process was excellent except that we were delayed due to the COVID Pandemic. The building of the home was beyond expectations and the Manager Courtlin kept us informed of the progress of the build the entire time and the care to make sure that our home was up to our expectations and he did such a great job. Shea Homes is lucky to have him.
