Shea Homes Reviews

Good experience and great people to work with.

Sales team was great. Warranty representative and response is terrible.

The team were professinal.

The experience is great! There are some minor issues, but the response is very fast.

This is an extreme disappointment and grief I want to bring into your notice that we are facing each day since we have moved to our new house. There were lot of plumbing/ drainage issues each day at different corners of the house. The delivery of the house came with lot of problems that we did not expect at all with Shea homes. We trusted that home inspections are properly done by Shea at each point especially in plumbing and drainage matters. At this time, in midnight we have called After hour emergencies to get this drainage and plumbing issues resolved. We were at risk of our lives where there was water all over in the jack and Jill bathroom and one of the attached rooms that too underneath the tiles and carpet that we cannot have any control over. In the night, around 11 pm accidentally I went to use the bathroom where I noticed water leaking in jack and Jill bathroom underneath the toilet seat area and bathroom floor tile and it got spread all over underneath the carpet in one of the attached rooms. This was an extremely disastrous for us to have faced such an issue in the middle of the night. It took away my sleep and I woke up my husband to look into it. Our infant sleeps in these rooms, this was not at all okay for us to compromise with the quality and delivery we have got to what we have invested in. Earlier also, we had noticed that bathroom fixtures were not installed properly which we ignored as minor problems and fixed it ourselves but past few days getting each part of the house dismantled and getting it all fixed while residing with an infant is a huge stress for us. I do not know what else to say to show how unhappy we are. We did not expect this kind of work from Shea. We are awake at this time and getting it fixed is so annoying and disturbing for us. I mean do we have to live in fear that something else might come up in future again. Also, there is a structural issue which we have mentioned before closing. The main door is crooked and have gaps which allow the air to pass through. The warranty rep told me to bend your neck and you won’t see the any problem. There are many other issue we mentioned and nothing is getting fixed. Worst experience with Shea homes. ... More

We have been a months after our close, never should have closed, to address many defects noted in the pre-close walk through. Ordered and paid for specific appliances (paid for options) that we did not get, they substituted inferior appliances and so far have refused to replace them. Trades show up and have no idea what they are repairing.

Simple items that require attention since 02/01/23 have not been attended to. Typical approach after a sale is finalized. Would not have bought would I have known. I have discouraged partners interested in the community.

We have several safety issues that Shea doesn’t appear to care about We went over these issues with our warranty specialist a month ago We no longer get responses from any representatives We have major gaps in our $17k sliders that rattlesnakes and scorpions can easily access We now have spider infestation due to this unresolved issue Furthermore we have uneven tiles that we have tripped over multiple times These are just two major issues whereas there are many more that Shea has ignored The quality of the home is not near the exaggeration we were given by the sales office Worst customer service possible for such an enormous company ...

The Shea team is the best in the industry

The sales representative was transparent, knowledgeable and most professional. From the beginning of the process to the end, the experience was indeed a pleasure.

Sandy was fantastic A+ Phil will ease your mind after closing Great experience over all

5 star review for Shea

Our experience between purchasing the house and figure out the rest was intense meaning Club House Members - HOA (3 different identities) it will be nice to know at the closing. Regarding where to go to set-up Internet ?? we didn't know is "HOA" this wasn't done and we're waiting 3 weeks for internet before calling the white globe people " very nice guys"

There is a lack of attention to details, such as drywall, trim and paint application. The build process is rushed and can show in the finished product. Also the windows that are used are of a poor quality.

Once the contract was signed there were a variety of changes to the home. Selected home design was changed on 4 different occasions with a lack of communication in changes and product and product availability. Once closed a variety of trade issues have occurred.

Field manager was outstanding! Plumber utilized was average at best! It is deceiving to see a model home nicely decorated and not having same or similar options when building a new house( very disappointing no alternatives were available). Very pretty house and development!

The wait was worth it. Shea Home actually uses good building materials for their construction. We've had 2 neighbors from other builders compare their building structures to what we have and they both confirmed the quality.

All in all, Shea was great. The only negative aspect is the White Gloves Service was very poor in that they did not take enough time to explain all the smart home apps and how, to use them. Very Poor.

The process from start to finish was smooth I LOVE our new home !

Design center and landscaping were truly both lacking!

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.

All service personnel have been very responsive. It is a pleasant experience dealing with Shea.

The experience of building at Trilogy has far exceeded my my expectations. Projected build times were accurate and the Build Manager (Brad) is very responsive and always looks for a solution vs just telling me “no” on requests. I’d recommend (and have) a Trilogy Lake Norman build to anyone looking for a great place to retire/live.

Been here 3 months and Shea has not resolved my issue.

Shea has a reputation for quality and, for most items, the quality is obvious. For other times, Shea falls short. For example, one towel bar in each bath and no hand towel ring. This is a half million+ dollar home. Framed mirrors versus a single sheet - another example. It's the end finishes that homeowners "see" that should be better thought through. Suggestion: Spend about $1000 more to include finishes that will make the home sparkle. Communication is good from all departments - realtor, crew, and warranty. It's a solid home. Struggled with an ADA issue that should have been handled better. It was not honored. I do recommend Shea Homes, but with the understanding that some finishes and ADA needs be taken seriously. ...
