Jorde Farms Dream Home

I would recommend Shea Homes any day. Compared to friends and family who have recently built with other builders in the area, our experience has been second to none. In every aspect I have felt respected and well-communicated with. They have truly gone above and beyond to make this home our dream home. And after we closed their customer service has been truly AMAZING!!! Our Superintendent sent at least two text updates a week with photos of our home. They answered my myriad of questions and made me feel involved with the process. 11/10 would recommend!!

New Home in the Desert

We love our new home, but defenitley were surprised at the items we needed to do when moving in. When designing your home, be aware of upgrades that don't include basic items like towel bars in the bathroom, tile & granite not sealed by builder. We expect some items needing attention, but did not expect to have to do projects the week we arrived.

The build process was long, complicated and delayed
- David M.

Too many unrealistic reasons to explain an 18 month build cycle. However, management responded well when faced with a rate lock expiration deadline to complete the build on a specific date.

Our experience with Shea Lake Frederick
- Earl B.
- Verified HomeBuyer
- January 31, 2023
- Front Royal, VA
Our experience with Frank in sales was very good. We had a bump in the road and Frank quickly found a solution. We had a change in project managers and both were very nice. Seth ended up being our PM and we were very happy with him. He kept us informed, sent pictures of progress and the house was always clean when we came to see it. The only thing I can see room for improvement is using teams. I had never used it and could have used some guidance. Also, it seems like there is a disconnect with the app and online version. Things weren’t always answered in a timely fashion because of this.

Best Decision Ever!
- Bolanle O.

We had the best Shea Homes experience from start to finish. Upon move in, we had a white glove service to set up all our smart appliances and devices in the home. Everyone that we worked with during the process was caring, friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to assist. Even after purchase, the Shea experience is like none other. A mixer was held for all of the owners, including those that are waiting to close. They go the extra mile to build a neighborhood. It goes beyond the closing. Thank you to everyone on the Shea Homes team. I would definitely recommend these builders.

Shea Home Construction Problems
- Andreas K.
- Verified HomeBuyer
- January 31, 2023
- Littleton, CO
several aspects of the construction as subpar. It seems that a lot of inexperienced sub-contractors used. For example, most doors/frames in my house were not plumbed and leveled properly so they do not close with an even reveal. There is not attention to detail. The subcontractor who installed the kitchen cabinets did a horrible job as the cabinets are not leveled correctly and the crown molding is not even.

Red curb
- Wayne P.
- Verified HomeBuyer
- January 31, 2023
- Las Vegas, NV
No one told us that our guest would not be able to park in front of our house. A month and a half after we moved in, they painted the curb red and made it a No Parking Zone. No one told us one side of each street is a No Parking Zone. The curb in front of the models should be painted red now, because eventually when the models are sold it will be a No Parking Zone. We had cabinet doors installed in the kitchen that were warped. It took 2 months after we closed for the warped doors to be replaced and adjusted properly.

Despite a 7 month delay of moving in due to “municipalities,” the home is very beautiful and just what we expected. Management is friendly and responsive for the most part. There is a lot going on while construction is happening. We enjoyed meeting workers and networking to install this or that in our home. In case we have any problems in the future, we know who we can call.

I am very happy with my home buying experience with Shea homes. The sales team Mac, Dave and Helen were always professional and helpful. I worked with Mac for the entire 2-year process and he was always helpful and patient. Mindy in the design studio was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with, she was truly trying to help rather than sell options (Not the experience I had with a previous builder). VaSean(sp) was helpful during the build phase. Corey was helpful during the acceptance phase. He and his team found more items to correct than I did. They were very thorough and I appreciate ...

The build took quite awhile, shortages, labor etc. Overall my project manager kept me up to date with pictures and progress reports weekly. From design to move was about 15 months. I am very satisfied with the build. I think Shea uses quality products and good workmanship.

Poor quality work on things like paint, cabinets, doors, flooring. In general workers don't seem to care and things are done poorly. Very poor communication from the construction team, and after closing we have long list of issues that we have no communication about, and have not gotten addressed.

Don’t Buy a Shea Home Without Hiring a General Contractor to Oversee Construction

- January 25, 2023
- San Marcos, CA
I love the layout of my new home. Some materials are of high quality, however I have had problems with every single trade. I found electrical that was not to code and hazardous when using my own electrician to install ceiling fans. The LVP flooring was very poorly installed with multiple gaps. The painters were horrific and got paint on cabinets, towel bars, flooring, all of the light switches… Many walls did not receive two coats of paint. I hired my own painters to re-paint. Plumbing issues. The list goes on and on. I’ve had way too many issues. Shea has been fairly responsive. I would have ...

From the first visit with the sales manager to the walk through with the specialist the experience was exceptional. All aspects of the purchase were of the highest quality. All people interacted with were super professional making sure at all times that we were completely aware of progress. I would highly recommend the Shea experience to any potential buyers.
