Shea Homes Reviews in Charlotte, SC

Overall we are happy with the house. The "sales agent" was a very professional and a pleasure to work with. The "design agent" was NOT professional at all and we are very disappointed in her work. The "project manager" was very professional and very easy to work with. He answered all of our questions in a timely manner and addressed our concerns during the entire building process.

We were super excited to be building a brand new home. After choosing many options and getting the grand total of almost $700,000, we thought that things would be perfect. They were far from being perfect. We have crooked walls, crooked tiles, uneven flooring, and many other things that we were told that there is not enough workers and trained people to do quality work. Now that we are moved in, we just heard that they are slowing down the process and focusing more on quality. That would be great if they could refund us about $100,000.

Home plans are fantastic. Amenity center is top notch. Quality workmanship in homes is sorely lacking in finishing details. Restaurant atmosphere is lovely but the menu needs work. It should reflect not only the local area but also speak to the diversity of the community. The dirty paper menus were a bit of a turnoff. Shows a lack of pride in presentation.

Have only been in the house for 3 months and still have some quality issues to address. Most are addressed timely, but need to be patient with the labor challenges since Covid.

Workmen have not shown up when they were scheduled to. Closed 12/31/21. I am still waiting for mirrors and shower doors on my master shower. It has been 9 weeks. Smart home visit was just completed yesterday. There appears to be a disconnect between contractors.

Once coverings started, so did poor workmanship. Holes in the sheathing, misaligned and damaged dry wall, poorly aligned trim. A lot of hacking, followed by hiding with plaster and RTV. Materials were above average, hence the rating of 3.

I had a great field manager who took care of issues promptly.

Seems like the construction was rushed to facilitate closing . Surprising lack of attention to detail with the finishing work ,door hanging etc . Preliminary punch list is significant after just one months occupancy . Construction crews working in the area make transit challenging and in some instances dangerous . We were told not to visit the area as it was a dangerous construction site ... yet closings were required and now residents are living in the same construction site . This demonstrates an apparent lack of concern about the level of enjoyment and safety of the residents post closing . I've said it before and I'll ask again - send a rep and we can chat further . ...

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

I bought a model home and so I am not covered by a warranty. The builder’s representative is not going to help or allow anyone to help with problems in the home. The issue that I am faced with is due to faulty construction and passed off as because it was a model it’s okay to not build well!

Shea looks out for Shea.

Disappointed with overall quality for a $1.0M+ home. A lot of issues.

The concrete sidewalk was asked to be fixed before we closed on our home. It was covered up and within a couple of weeks after closing you could see all the cracks. Now you say you don’t fix concrete. Our garage door opens neighbor door. And, we cannot close the garage door with remote. Light switch in kitchen cannot be hooked up with Alexa. The woodwork in the entire house has not been sanded down properly. Lots of Little things that are annoying!

Love the community. However, for the money spent the lack of quality in all finish work seemed cheap.

many problems. we had 5 holes under kitchen counters took 3 mo to get it resolved we paid for shower and enclosur in guest bath put in twoo diff metals and couldnt open enclosure due to toilet put in 5 inches from wall. we paid to fix it all. we still have big rolls of cable 15 ft behind out propery told they. have been there for over a year and k fisher wont even make a csll to utility co to have them moved. many. many. problems. i would never buy another shea home

I fear that my home will not not age well and there will be multiple problems with exterior wood rot Because paint is already pealing! I understand that this is a construction sight but the between the mud and trucks Blocking roads it’s hard to like what I see! And I am Still concerned about the silt that is taking over the dry creek bed behind house!

First off, my mother passed away in January and yet this is still addressed in her name. Shea needs to check their records before they start sending out communications asking for opinions. The process to buy the home was unclear in regards to how interior design choices cost extra. During the process I felt that this was hidden and is unethical. Working with the sales team was stressful and information wasn't shared transparently as one would expect. There was definitely a delay in closing on the home due to Shea wanting to hit a number this calendar year because the house was ready by October/November which caused significant issues on our end for planning. The entire experience was frustrating and needs improvement. ... More

Disapppointed with the finishes on the house, seems very rough and ready. Since moving in, we’ve seen quite a lot of imperfections that overall just feel like the house was very rushed and little care was put into it.

Shea sales proudly proclaims their commitment to quality since 1800s. But that's where it stops. Three months after closing, dozens of items still aren't fixed, including some requested to be fixed prior to closing during the final walkthrough. Service appointments are often cancelled at the last minute (or just a no-shows). Those that do show up often don't actually fix what they were there to fix (but still close the tickets). Extremely poor workmanship throughout the house - pretty much every single wall and ceiling have dents, bumps, and mismatched/uneven paint. Just some of the bigger, still outstanding issues include a roof leak, a light that has been drywalled over, dirty windows (palm prints on the outside as well as paint splashes on outside and inside), uneven window frames (to the point that window coverings cannot be installed), leaky water filter, landscaping that collects water against the outside wall instead of draining it away, sporadic whole community water shutoffs as early as 7am on pretty much weekly basis. ...

Not re-typing the entire review, but suffice it to say that the experience from beginning to end was sub par at best. Several options misrepresented in sales process, poor trade quality (framing, electrical, drywall and paint, etc.), inability to meet timeline and over priced for what was delivered. Submitted very detailed feedback with examples and recommendations for improvement with no response.

I would say if I knew what our frustrations would be ahead of time we would of bought an existing home at Trilogy Lake Norman.

I would not recommend Shea.

will not leave a review. They have trampled my first right amendment to freedom of speech, and threatened to have me arrested if I talk anymore

Because this review is going on a public website, I am limiting the review to a summary statement. Overall, the buying experience was poor, which is a shame because as the home buying market shifts and there are fewer buyers, customer service will be the key to future sales.

Sales team was great; however, my experience building with this builder has been deeply frustrating and disappointing, particularly given the price point and expectations set at contract signing. From early in the process, I encountered significant project management failures, including repeated errors, missed details, and material deviations from the approved plans and selections. These were not subjective preferences—they were clear inconsistencies with documented drawings, specifications, and contractual agreements that I had to identify myself. When I raised legitimate concerns and requested corrections, the response was troubling. Not only was I met with resistance and deflection, but I was also threatened with contract cancellation for simply holding the builder accountable. The Quality Assurance Manager’s interactions were combative and unprofessional, making an already difficult process unnecessarily adversarial rather than solution-oriented. Post-closing, the experience did not improve. HOA management and oversight following close have also been questionable—further extending the pattern of inadequate management beyond construction itself. Throughout the build, I was repeatedly forced to act as my own quality control to protect a major financial investment. Changes and deviations were often discovered only because I proactively reviewed progress—not because the builder identified or corrected them. For a new-construction home of this scale and cost, I expected: • Competent project oversight • Adherence to approved plans and selections • Professional, respectful quality assurance • Transparent communication • A collaborative approach to resolving issues Unfortunately, that was not my experience. To be clear, the final home itself is beautiful and has received positive feedback from independent inspectors from a structural standpoint. However, that outcome is largely due to my own extensive oversight, documentation, and persistence throughout the build. A favorable end result does not negate the months of unnecessary stress, mismanagement, and adversarial interactions that defined the experience—and it does not improve my overall assessment of the builder’s performance. ...
