Shea Homes Reviews

Great experience with shea homes. Their sales team and warranty is unbeatable, we got the exterior and lot that we preferred. The only issue that we found out is the noise isolation is not properly took care of. Same washer and dryer, but the noise is soooo loud! I feel the entire house can here, but I feel the distances and location almost the same in my previous house, I did not hear that much, that's why I deduct the two points from the quality of workmanship and materials.

My wife and I have recently closed on a Shea Signature home in Scottsdale AZ. All of the Shea team members we have met have been spectacular. They are kind, patient, helpful and very quick to reply to a call, text or email. Throughout the entire process from the quote to the design to the follow up and visiting the site they have never let us down once. They are consummate professionals and who would gladly purchase again as well as recommend to our family and friends. As an engineer I was extremely detailed and curious about many details in the construction and the home. Since we closed I hired a plumber for some additional work such as a water filtration system in the garage for the whole house and other items. They have shared by their observation that the quality of the build and the logic of construction matters are both very up to date as well as to high standards. That was reassuring as I am not in the construction business. We love the quality fit and finish of the floors, walls, cabinets, counter tops, etc. no loose ends or sloppy work. The punch list was minor and negligible. We also received the house so spotless it was beyond expectations of clean. We wish Shea Home continued success to that they may bring this joy to other homeowners. ... More

The whole home buying experience was actually pretty easy. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. The bill quality of Shea Holmes borders on five stars. I gave it four stars because they were just some silly finishing mistakes that really should’ve been captured and addressed prior to us moving in. Mostly painting so it was just cosmetic touchup stuff but still at the price point they should’ve found these.

Experience overall was very good. Sales staff was exceptional to work with. Superintendent of construction and associate were both extremely helpful and showed great attention to detail throughout the build process. Worked with Shea Mortgage and staff was also great to work with. We’re very much enjoying our new home. Only minimal items found during first 30 days of occupancy, but response to addressing a couple of items has been slow. Otherwise, I can’t say enough positive things in regard to our experience to date.

As new residents to Colorado, we stumbled upon the Lyricas we were transitioning from leasing to purchasing. Ideal location, spacious home, good workmanship. We made a great choice.

We planned to buy our first house 1-2 years later, but when we saw SHEA Homes, we didn`t want to miss this opportunity. Thanks.

The Sales team at The Reserves Lone Mountain was always helpful, responsive and made the process less stressful. Overall I give the sales Team 5 stars. Everyone was always helpful and sincerely cared for my concerns. The only thing that is stressful is that non of the other departments that handle everything after closing do not focus on client satisfaction to level sales did. Don’t get me wrong I do believe in the Shea Homes Product.No home is perfect after completion. But I feel like there should be more organization and communication between Trades and builder during repairs done after closing. And this critique is not aimed at anyone in the warrenty department. I understand and am aware they have to follow Shea’s policy. They need to make a system that allows trades to know what needs to be fixed or replaced prior to visit. And trades should take up their issues with builder not the customer when shea sends them for repairs. As it is stressful and feels like a full time job for 1 year warranty process of fixing everything. As someone who has built more than one home. My advice to Shea for my overall critique. FOCUS ON HOW YOU can make the client experience better for repairs. Implement a check system like Camelot prior to closing of repairs important to the customer. Focus more on the clients concerns prior then after closing. This will lead to SHEA enhancing its client satisfaction. As I stated above as someone who has built many homes with a number of different builders. If Shea Corporate! implemented some new things for their employees for the system of repairs prior and after. I truly believe the brand and product would be near or better then competing builders around the valley if they refocused this one aspect seeing is that the product itself is great. But wear and Tear items done during building need to be solved before closing. As it ads overwhelmingly to the one year warranty experience as stated above. I am aware nothing is perfect. But I believe there is always room for improvement. I do recommend the product but I recommend that any items damaged before close be resolved or have a solution communicated prior as well. If that small possible improvement in the system was achieved, I do feel like I’d be able to give a full 5 star review rather then 3. I truly believe that if Shea implemented the improvements I stated above it would lead to even a greater success as a brand. Shea Homes if you Read this ! Out of all your competitors I’ve worked with on new home projects! You currently take 2nd place but you easily could be first if you implemented new policy and procedure that allowed people to move in to their house with there items of concern fixed. And yes it can be done. As I have had a happier experience with Camelot in my post close experience. Your next question why didn’t you build with Camelot again then ? Because I did not like the location of any of the new community locations. They were either where god lost his shoes or in a neighborhood that did not yet feel improved or safe. Back to Shea. Shea is great ! But could be way better if they would take my critique into consideration. Sincerely with Love ... More

The house quality is very good. But the price is too high.

We love the area. The ancient and modern description fits this area perfectly. Our views are priceless. Tony, Gina, Todd and Scott helped us whenever we needed it. Great people! Great homes! Blessed to be a part of it all! Thank you! 10/10 review!

Loved working with Josephine and Alex in the sales office. Same with Angel with the construction team. And Gabriel on the Home Warranty team. Everyone has been great. Friendly, honest and empower the homeowner with information and knowledge. This is my third home purchase and definitely the best experience 100%. Would highly recommend Shea Homes to anybody looking for a home.

I love my new home!

Both are awesome from sales to service support after turnover of the property!

Both Miriam and Tamara were very helpful in giving me any information I needed.

What stands out the most about our home buying experience with Shea has been great people and fabulous, easy communication. This started with the realtor for the community, Berry Staub, who is kind and professional, always follows through, and has become a friend along the journey. Good communication continued throughout the build process as we worked with Wyatt and Kaleb - our project managers. This included emails detailing what stage of the build process we were in and also text communication from the PM's that included pictures of completed projects. They were both easy to talk to and discuss questions, concerns or just review the process with us; Issues were promptly addressed. At close, we were introduced to the warranty team who thoroughly reviewed how the warranty works, what is covered and what is not, how to register our appliances, and how to report issues, if any, All technology was also thoroughly explained by the Foresight team at a White Glove appointment. There were some unforeseen delays due to some design center choices that were discontinued, delayed, and/or arrived damaged, leading to 3 new design center choices being necessary many months into the build. As these weren't specifically Shea 'errors', yet were more related to stock and availability of items chosen, it is difficult to say that it was a Shea problem. What we would have appreciated being different: 1. An online catalogue of Design Center options that we could review prior to our one-time, 4-hour design center appointment. We were expected to quickly make ALL option choices for our home that were not considered structural (ie: cabinet color/design, flooring, handles, etc.) in this single appointment. This led to many back and forth emails with design and the process ended up taking over 6-weeks to complete the choices and to know precisely what the cost of our home would be. Having a second appointment with the designer -or- having the opportunity to review the choices before the appointment would likely have mitigated this long, drawn out process. As we were responsible to pay for the upgrades chosen at time of design center options being chosen, we expected that Shea would be purchasing these items for our home at that time. This is not the process, though. Items selected were purchased just before the build team would need to install them. 2. Some final details that needed touch-ups prior to close were not completed by our initial close date. In fact, it has been two months since we closed and one of the requested fixes is still incomplete. Although our warranty team and project manager are aware of the issue, the problem still exists. What could have/still could be done differently: follow-up with trades and customer to ensure requested work has been completed. Overall, would we buy from Shea again. Absolutely YES! Our home is wonderful and we look forward to enjoying it for years to come. ... More

very responsive to appointment requests.

This is are second home with Shea and their quality hasn’t changed. They offer great quality but to me, the best part, is the quality of service. I would always consider buying from them and recommending them to anyone I know.

Smart home features and operation can be overwhelming particularly for non-tech oriented people. Be prepared for steep learning curve on some things.

We really enjoyed working with Alex and Josephine from a sales perspective, they were great! Gabriel from a post sales quality control perspective was great too! The craftsmanship was good overall but had some areas where corners were cut.

Customer service is supreme, caring, considerate, punctual, with amazing follow up! Sales team was very responsive and helpful!

Everyone from Shea was amazing. We felt like they were truly trying to get us the home that we were looking for and I’d recommend them to anyone

The sales team and the lead construction guys were very helpful and accommodating when discussing and showing us the progress of our home build. There is a lot to learn about the new smart house and the team is continually helping us learn the nuances.

The home buying process was very smooth

Our experience with Shea Homes was exceptional from start to finish. From the bidding process to construction, selecting upgrades, and the final handover, every step was seamless. We were supported by a team of highly skilled and professional individuals who addressed all our concerns with care and efficiency. If given the choice, we would gladly go through the process with them again.

The building process, design center and warranty processes have all been great. The house design is perfect and the building products are high quality.

Shea had a great selection of what we were looking for in a new home. Also, several modern features were standard which was nice. House is beautiful inside and out. With the small issues that have popped up the warranty team has responded quickly to find solutions
