Shea Homes Reviews in Houston, TX

Good project manager and sales.

A decent builder with good service

They build a good product

it is a good house at this price in this time. quality materials and constructions. i will recommend my friends and family if they are looking for a house.

Only wish yard was more level. Too Many unlevel spots in yard.

Closed escrow December of last year It now May and still waiting for Ring doorbell and Wi-Fi plus repairs needed

Details are a problem with the end product

The sales center was awesome, got the lot on the lake and the very expensive upgrades, however the thoroughness in detail to a pristine home build missed the mark with the construction workers not paying attention to detail. The pandemic brought in poor quality workers and flawed workmanship. Quite a few things were incomplete and I did not have that WOW moment when moving in. Deep cleaning wasnt done, the home was dusty, tile and flooring did not look brand new, electrical glitches still happening with the breaker, missing under cabinet lightening, missing sprinkler heads, HomePro is useless still waiting on a couple of work tickets to be scheduled for service. Aesthetics and first impressions are everything. I needed to have that WOW moment of my forever dream home and I did not. Still waiting on Shea to circle back on service recovery. ... More

Beautiful layout and floor plan

The house quality was good. Also, the builder's representative whose name was Randy was very responsible. He was great! But we were not happy for the delay to build the house. It delayed almost half year for completion to lead to our mortgage loan rate to be higher, which means that we need to pay more money for the mortgage loan.

Sales people were very kind to concerns

I would recommend Shea Homes to others based on the construction and the construction manager Randy. I would warn them about Shea Homes sales team, people like Rachelle and her manager as they gave me one of the worst experiences of my life. Also I would warn them of some of the sub contractors like Home Pro who where anything but pro.

Quality of kitchen cabinets not good, drawers wiggles . K Kraft or J kraft came to check and said that’s how it is. Doors not installed well. Floorings in the second floor noisy when someone is walking. I think for a new house not supposed to be like that. was address when we reported it but still the same noisy floor. It’s weird and not good for a new house.

HVAC seems to be poorly installed. Multiple issues in first couple months in the home. Walls cut open everywhere, mold from condensation.

We love our house but getting anything fixed after the fact is impossible.

Builder uses subcontractors and coordination between trades is poor or non existent. Sometimes things are put together without any thought being given to function. So for example a video doorbell is installed where the pointed at a wall rather than the entryway. A towel holder is installed such that any hanging towel blocks the electric outlet a few inches underneath. How does one plug in a hairdryer with a wet towel draped over the outlet. The front lawn is graded wrong and the manhole cover for the City drains are covered- solution? Unknown workmen come in, dig to uncover and expose the manhole cover and leave a pile of dirt on the lawn and an open hole that is a now is a potential hazard. The best part is this is done without any information being shared with the homeowner. Not even a knock on the door. Warranty service is very spotty. Messages left and e-mails go unanswered. It is just too bad as the home itself is beautiful. ... More

Say produces a nice lovely Home!!!!

We ultimately love our house. We built a plan that had some updates- however, those updates were specifically reviewed with us.

sales person was helpful and was knowledgeable but after deposit paid she wasnt much help addressing my concerns. There were several delays with the build and communication about completion was minimal. there are still some items that havent been fixed or completed in my house. I felt frustrating during most of the process

I will not recommend anyone to use this builder!

Punchlist items from pre-closing meetings still not fixed after 3 months in the house. Electrical issues, painting issues, security equipment issues. LOTS of fit and finish issues. Wouldn't recommend.

Make sure you keep track of everything otherwise they might try and switch out things you ordered and then make you feel like that was never an option. Overall the experience was okay. They do provide differential treatment to some buyers that are able to do modifications where others are told no. After moving in everything is great except for the caulking. There are holes in it and door jams not completely caulked. Most things seemed rushed instead of taking the time to make sure it’s right.

This was not the greatest home buying experience. I've bought 3 previous new builds and have never had the lack of communication and lack of attention to details during the building process and up until final walk through. Shea takes entirely too long to build a home in comparison to Perry, Drees and Highland in this particular area. Once moved in, my warranty representative found a list of things that needed to be addressed and redone on top of the things that were not addressed during the build. The warranty representative is OUTSTANDING!!! She has addressed all details in a timely manner and has great communication along the way. ... More

Horrible experience from the loan process until today 2 months after move in. The quality of the home is not worth the price. Everyday we have at least 2 repair men coming in to fix problems. The house we paid for is not what we got. We have spent the last two months putting money into the house to get the options that we wanted and some we paid for and did not receive. Even the Home Pro products are not good quality to include the door bell. Every disappointed.

Catherine in sales is very courteous, professional and very responsive. The builder Matt, was generally not receptive to patent errors and in some instances expressed irritation when it was pointed out e.g. unlevelled flooring, narrow doorway where a person could barely fit through (eventually fixed) , framed out closets (eventually fixed) etc. Currently the soil around the walkway is greatly eroded due to a couple of rains exposing the cement underneath. Oven doesn't turn on. Broken diswasher installed at closing and was replaced after closing. Roof on walkway needs the flushing to be redone due to a framing issue because water is retained on an incline not sloped properly. Hopefully these outstanding issues and the list provided to the warranty team gets resolved when the one month inspection occurs. ... More
