Entire process from beginning to end was smooth. They kept us informed abd did constant walk throughs. We had a great project field manager to help us on our home. If you are considering buying a shea home, it will be worth the money, time, and a quality home!

Very beautiful home and community. Construction in general is high quality, and design of the home is well laid out, Energy efficient systems and automatic /wireless options are working well and convenient. Shea did well at keeping me apprised of construction progress and held to the promised dates for the construction steps. i rated responsiveness as a three as the warranty service processes seems to have some gaps that allow for concerns to fall through. One gap is that a service request disappeared after being acknowledged. the second is that i twice received letters saying that the ...

Shea home buying experience

  • Vincent D.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • December 20, 2022
  • Indio, CA

I am going to begin with the positives. I am very pleased with the results of our home. I was very pleased with the responsiveness of the construction manager, Ryan. Ryan was also dedicated; however I feel the crew’s were spread too thin with over 30 new builds going at the same time. This resulted in multiple details being overlooked. Our punch list at the time of our walkthrough prior to closing was extensive with more than a dozen items. The most serious items were three separate previously undetected gas leaks. The connection to the swimming pool heater was not connected properly. There ...

My experience with Shea was very good from start to finish of home. Communication was great and no issues with Shea's responsiveness. Was given the name of a job site foreman who kept me posted along the way of construction, which included several walk throughs of the home before it was completed. I highly recommend Shea as a home builder.

Great credit to both Leslie and Jeannie for the extremely professional response to our needs as purchasers and for responding quickly to any inquiry. They made this experience, stress-free and enjoyable. We cannot say anymore about how wonderful our experience was. Thanks to them. The on-site crew, including Tanner, and Matt are excellent as well.

Totally amazed that Shea didn’t insure that WI Fi cable after occupancy was still not available.. A builder as large as Shea should have put pressure on Frontier to make sure new residents had service…

A mixed bag

The sales team was outstanding, and structurally, we love the house. The floor plan works well for us, and the house itself is well built. But the quality and condition of the appliances is another story. The dishwasher and hot water heater were defective when installed and were not repaired promptly. The kitchen faucet turned on by itself, wasting considerable water. These things shouldn't be happening in an expensive, brand-new house.

Tarry our Sales Rep was fantastic! Excellent follow thru skills and knowledge. I am a realtor and know what makes a great sales person and Tarry definitely has the "it" factor. She is trustworthy and provides great customer satisfaction. I also want to mention that our Warranty Specialist Richard is outstanding! His work ethic and follow thru is impeccable. Richard is extremely helpful and ALWAYS willing to lend a helping hand. I can't say enough good things about Richard. These 2 individuals represent Shea Homes in the highest possible light.

Well Informed of the delays during the building process

  • Las Vegas, NV

Kirstie kept us informed during the building process of the delays we were incurring. We have been in the house two months and expected some snags in the new house. The response to correcting these snags has been mediocre in the sense of timeliness, the initiative on the part of the builder, and the accuracy of the corrective action. For example, a 220 Volt outlet was ordered in one specific part of the house. An additional outlet was actually wired to 220 V unbeknownst to us. We ruined several appliances in the troubleshooting process not to mention a potentially hazardous situation. The ...

I purchased my home from Shea at end of sept 2022. I love my home. Shea made the whole buying process extremely easy and every step of the way each employee was responsive and very kind. Even after my home buying experience the warranty rep has treated me the same way. It has been an effortless process, my hardest experience was staying on the wait list to get my lot and then waiting for my home to be built. This is my second new home in 7 years. I built with another builder for my previous home and my experience buying my first new home was very poor along with their warranty service. My new ...

Good experience- few things to be great.

The positives. Shea builds a good home, and their staff is friendly and largely helpful. Issues encountered along the way in construction and close inspection were addressed timely. My issues have mostly been around post close items. The landscaper (TLB) didn’t follow up per 30 day. It took repeated outreaches to get them scheduled to resolve issues, and they’re still not fully addressed, and communication is very poor. Overall, I’d recommend others to Shea, but Shea should utilize their leverage with TLB to ensure the full experience is positive.

Dave and Frankie have been real assets to this process. I had a problem with the garage door opening on it’s own that posed security concerns. The vendor had to come twice before they replaced it totally.

The process was fairly well orchestrated throughout the months it took to complete. There were problems encountered outside the builder’s control that could have been better communicated but the overall experience was a good one with very positive results.
