Shea Homes Reviews

Overall a good experience but definitely room for improvement. Little things like a tiny chip in our countertop that we reported right away and were told it wasn’t covered under warranty. It’s a small thing that would take a few minutes to repair and go a long way to show the homeowner they matter after closing.

All teams that we have worked with were amazing. Sales team kept us well informed of the progress. Construction team was very knowledgeable and were flexible in fixing any issues that we identified. The warranty team has been doing an awesome job of following up to ensure things are progressing as planned and all fixes are put in place immediately.

We have been in the house for just over two months. It’s starting to become apparent that this house was built by either amateurs or people that don’t pay attention to details. The paint on the interior is already fading and will need to be redone within a year. I have had to adjust most all of the cabinets so the doors shut correctly. The microwave quit working and it was because it was wired poorly. And today I am dealing with no heat because the heat pump fuses keep blowing. Trying to get help from Shea homes yields no results, so I came home from work and made the calls myself. There are more things wrong, and I am contemplating just having it fixed on my own, so I know it will be done right. If I could I would sell the home and move, because this house is going to have more issues in the future. ... More

My home-buying experience with the people of Shea Homes was terrific. Everybody I met cared about me and continues to do so even after I purchased my home, especially Nissrin and Alfonso. However, I have one warning: if you are sensitive to noise, please spend enough time in or near your prospective home. Our home is too close to a corner for me, so I am bothered by car and truck acceleration noise. This is not a fault of Shea Homes since they have double glass windows and gas between the window pains to insulate the home from heat.

We’ve had positive experiences with everyone along the way in our home buying journey. We love our new home, and the neighborhood is the friendliest I’ve ever been in!

Smooth buying experience. Everyone was responsive to my needs.

Overall great experience and would highly recommend.

We had such a great time building our dream home with shea. We had a very responsive builder who took our wants and needs into account and made them happen. They went above and beyond with everything! Thank you to all the builders and crews that made our dream home so special

Everyone from the sales staff(Courtney) to the construction to the warranty ( Gwen) have been helpful & professional. I couldn’t be happier with my house.

The Shea staff were very helpful through the process. Ted the Shea rep. was super and worked with us. He was very flexible and went out of his way to help us when we had to change our house choice at the last minute. I asked what Shea could do for a Veteran and they stepped right up and reduced our down payment by half. Once we moved in, the Shea rep. Scott has been super in taking care of all our requests for fixing certain items after we moved in.

We have found the Valor neighborhood in Idaho to be quite enjoyable overall. However, we have encountered some challenges with the quality of the finish work and the pre-inspection process. Upon moving in, we discovered several appliance issues that had not been addressed prior to our occupancy, despite Shea Homes' assurance of a complete home review. For the past three months, the oven has been non-functional, and the exterior paint on the house has been found to be faulty, requiring repainting, both have not been rectified. In addition to these issues, we have also observed subpar workmanship in other areas of the home. The concrete in the back porch was of poor quality, necessitating Shea Homes to apply epoxy as a remedy. Similarly, the finish on the garage floor is also below standard, and despite our requests, Shea Homes has not taken steps to rectify this matter. Furthermore, the wood frames on all the closets are coming apart, indicating further deficiencies in the construction. Outside the house, there have been safety concerns as well. The front walkway presented a trip hazard, resulting in multiple individuals tripping or falling. While a solution has been implemented, it is not up to par with the standards of the neighborhood and does not match the aesthetics of other homes in the area. Regrettably, our attempts to address these issues with Shea Homes have not yielded a satisfactory response. Although the warranty person assigned to our home is making efforts to rectify the situation, the time it is taking to resolve these matters is unacceptable. In conclusion, we are deeply disappointed with the lack of prompt and effective action from Shea Homes in addressing these concerns. We trust that Shea Homes will take our feedback seriously and work diligently to address these issues in a timely manner. ... More

We had a fantastic experience buying a home with Shea Homes. From the start, the Shea team was incredibly helpful. They guided the our family through the selection process, offering insights on different floor plans and customization options. During the building process, we received regular updates and felt informed every step of the way. When we moved in, everything was ready and in great condition. After moving in, our family was pleasantly surprised by the after-sales support. Shea’s team checked in to ensure everything was up to our expectations and promptly addressed a couple of minor issues. ... More

Great home buying experience from start to finish

The move-in was the best we've had (moved into three new homes prior to this one). Attention to detail was excellent. Once we moved in, there were some issues with the A/C, the hood cover over the stove, and the Wi-Fi. However, items like that are to be expected to some extent with a new build, and they were fixed quickly and well.

Jaime was very healthy in sales office and Brooke was outstanding seeing things that needed corrected at the one month repair period.

It's a beautiful community, very organized and with state-of-the-art construction.

Overall experience with the staff was great! Support after close of escrow has been great as well. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend buying from Shea Homes.

Laura H, Steve S, Marie etc the whole staff has been great

We love Shea Homes as a builder. This is our 2nd Shea Home and we highly recommend them. The quality of the home is exceptional. All of the folks we worked with were wonderful and our beautiful home was delivered in the time frame promised. We really appreciate how professional and friendly all of the staff were and this made the whole process enjoyable. We are loving our new home!

The overall buying experience with SHEA was good, and the personel were very accommodating. However the quality of materials and workmanship need much improvement. Materials are appearing to be very cheap quality, and rushed installation, leaving gaps and crooked seams of many features. Dripping sounds of hot water lines, that I'm told are normal, should not be normal.

Randy was very detailed and thorough when walking us through the property and always displayed patience with our many questions. He shared some great tips for new homeowners on caring for our new home.

Great place to spend the quieter stage of life

we were told all the extras were included in the price because of the home was already built. Come to find out nothing was included.. Everything wasn’t add-on. Very frustrated that they showed up with a TV mount saying it was no charge/free. It was part of the house. We didn’t even want or use the TV mount and later looked at our paperwork seeing they charged us $450 for a TV mount we didn’t even want or use. They would not credit me nor would they throw something in that value like a lousy outlet that should’ve been there to begin with. frustrating to say the least

Beautiful community, beautiful homes, friendly people. Construction workers are messy. They leave trash everywhere, and it gets everywhere. Reporting it does not help, nor change anything.

Sales was extraordinary making it possible to relocate from VA. Would have been impossible without Margie’s help. Mortgage lending was extremely supportive and innovative. Found a very creative mortgage that was ideal for us! Field mgr was awesome. Jason was a 12 on a 1-10 scale. I’ve built 6 new homes, Jason was by far the best. TLB landscaping is outstanding! Both price and quality exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend to our neighbors!! Very happy with workmanship. Attention to details immaculate. Design outstanding. My only negative feedback is timing? But the house and community were worth the wait. No regrets. ... More
