Shea Homes Reviews

Lots of items need fixing in this house!

Customer service has not paid attention to detailed request. Disorganized. Perhaps volume of repairs & poor craftsman gas made job more difficult to keep up with it’s understandable nothing would be perfect but I’ve had to repeat my request multiple times to clarify previous concerns. Most alarming leaky sink.

Once we decided to be part of the Trilogy experience, I was very impressed on the process in which Shea/Trilogy keep us informed on every step of the way of the house build. We are thrilled to be part of the Trilogy Neighborhood and we love our new house. Ed

Given the price point of the home and Shea’s reputation I would have expected much better workmanship from those various trades that did work on our home. The fit and finish on the home was really lacking. We have seen issue throughout our house with the attention to details including paint, tile work, cabinetry and windows to name a few. We know that trades do this work but there needs to be better oversight from Shea. We regards to materials it is definitely clear that the best materials weren’t used. From the faucets to the exhaust vents these weren’t the best quality or the most appropriate for a home of this price. The kitchen exhaust vent didn’t have the correct damper and causes loud noise when it’s windy. The Moen fixtures feel very cheap and low quality. The toilets are below the quality we expected, they don’t even have soft close seats. This is minor but iemblematic of the lack of attention to detail that should be fitting of a house at this price point. When compared to our previous new construction with a different builder the materials are definitely not up to par. Another example of the lack of attention to details would be the HVAC system. For a house of this size there was no zoning. It immediately caused issues with cold and hot spots in the house. Even though the issue was corrected, I think there should have been planning to address this during design and construction. Overall given how these homes were positioned in the market and the price point the trades really disappointed with the quality of work. The materials and attention to details were extremely lacking. As a homeowner this puts the responsibility on our shoulders to try to work after move in the figure it out. Even though this is expected in any new home, the amount of issues that needed attention seems extraordinarily high. ... More

Communication was generally good -- more than we expected. Home seems solidly built. Since we've moved in, Shea's rep has been very good about trying to make sure we are satisfied with the resolution of even small issues.

Over all we are very pleased with our purchase. Due to the pandemic it made everything difficult for the buyer and Trilogy Shea Homes.

Was kept informed of progress and issues were address quickly and fixed in a timely manner

They are great until they get your money!! Follow up on repairs and service are unfortunately less then satisfying.

I had a bad experience and cannot recommend Shea to any new home buyer. There were many delays and the staff were unprofessional. Overall I had a very bad experience with Shea homes and do not recommend them to anyone looking for a timely home buying experience.

It was a terrible home-buying experience in every way, from beginning to end and even beyond. More than 2 months after closing, items that needed correcting and were brought up during our final walk-through have still not been corrected.

From the moment I spoke with the community representative I knew I'd picked the right over 55 community from the many in Las Vegas. This assurance continued through the construction, design , home delivery and customer service. Ive moved in and met so many friendly neighbors. Im really looking forward to the opening of the community center and pool.

It was a mixed feeling experience. Sometimes the customer care was there sometimes it wasn't. We had an issue with closing and it felt like all transparency went out the window. Without that issue it would've been an amazing experience.

I had a great experience with this builder and all the staff are very nice. I know it was a long process, but I knew it from the beginning because of this pandemic but it was worth it to wait. Price of the house was great. Over all is excellent. Thanks to all the staff, specially to Hella, Brian and Eddie.

Excellent experience through the entire purchase experience.

Be willing to wait for delays and material delays. Home won't be completed at closing.

There were children of the laborers at our home site while the home was being built-we have photos of them! We had multiple labor and material concerns ALL ALONG during the build, horrible workmanship, lack of quality, lack of caring. The painters were the worst, we continue to find more and more problems as we live in the house and the light shines on painted surfaces. Our framing wood quality throughout our home is bad, we had to fight so Shea didn't' use particle board pieces (7 on one) on our interior door frames. We sent multiple emails with legitimate concerns, most of which went ignored. As a result the house has been compromised, it is difficult to hang shelving and window coverings to be properly fitted. The ceiling in our son's room was not even attached properly as the Shea electrician who removed the fan from the room after we closed notified us that the ceiling had dropped by two inches and was essentially falling down. We have heard loud crack noises from the walls or roof, and do not know what this is from but are now very concerned. When it rains the home's interior doors won't open properly and stick. Rinnai tankless water system is a giant waste of water. We wait for hours waiting for hot water in our house while gallons of water run down the drain. What a waste! We are in a drought and live in the desert. The plumbing company has been out on several occasions since our close. They have told us that the Rinnai system is too far from being centrally located in the home to be efficient, hence 4-8 minute wait times for warm water at the kitchen and master sinks. I have to wash dishes with cold water as a general rule, I get a full dinner's dirty dishes clean before I get any warm water from the tap. We are still waiting for our garage door and screens on all the windows since we closed December 10. I am guessing the new garage, when we finally get it, door paint will not even match the paint house by the time it is finally installed. We are also waiting for multiple repairs-the biggest ones being stucco and paint. The stucco is an eyesore with a division that looks like someone rubbed it in circles from the ground as high as they could reach, rather than using the scaffolding to smooth it out all over. It is half textured. It is lovely spring in Arizona yet we cannot open up unless we want all the bugs inside, while we watch all of the new homes being constructed a block away get the garage door our home is supposed to have, and the screens our home are supposed to have. Shea's focus is on the close, postponing obligations to the existing homeowners. Exactly who is first in line? We can't get a response from Ryan, I have texted him without reply. We sit and wait for our home to be fixed, wait for our screens, wait for our garage door, etc, etc, while the newly constructed homes get what we were supposed to have IN DECEMBER. We have obviously been back-prioritized. We have a running joke in our home-Shea's moto is "It's good enough." We have noticed the quality of newer homes in the neighborhood have improved substantially, with them getting options we were NEVER EVEN PRESENTED WITH, like built-in floating shelves, like tile up the kitchen island. Additional hose lines to improve water convenience of the courtyard and side yard. WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ALL OF THOSE THINGS IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE HAD THE FORESIGHT OR ORGANIZATION TO GIVE US THESE OPTIONS. All in all, the final product is not up to the standards that we were sold on. This process has been exhausting, frustrating, and disappointing. We are wondering if our home have a warranty delay until we actually receive all of our home's repairs and parts when they finally get installed? ... More

So excited to be a part of Marquee! Shea team was great!

Very smooth experience. Great support even after closing. Immediate response on queries. Some of Shea's basic amenities are upgrade in other builders.

Several models to choose from. Review of the build process including key milestones for your onsite review. Walk thru by Shea on-site managers to address any issues prior to customer walk thru to ensure a quality-built home. At the time of the walk thru customer is assigned a Shea Customer Representative that assists in addressing any issues that may arise in one month, five months and eleven months. They are with you through the warranty period.

The builder exhibits Quality construction.

Bad quality on cabinets, windows, tile finishing, because of rush to sign the contract.

Shae homes are one of best, regarding the house to be delivered on time and the difference between the actual house and the model you have seen.

We worked mostly with our field manager who was outstanding any issues we had were taken care of in a timely matter. He went above and beyond what I expected did a great job

Due to builder negligence, we experienced a flood in our home the day before we were scheduled to move in. Your Project Manager did a great job getting the various subs out to repair all the damage. I sent a letter asking to be reimbursed for the cost of our mortgage during the time we had no use of the home (15 days) in addition to the other out of pocket costs of rent and electricity. Shea paid the 2 expenses, but offered no reason why they would not consider the mortgage cost. A simple letter with a reason would have been nice in addition to perhaps recognizing all the stress and worry we went through looking at our first brand new home being torn up and rebuilt. Overall build quality not at a level I would expect for a company known for building great homes. Understand COVID impacted availability of workers, but with that in mind, greater quality control measures could have been in place during the build so that you didn't have to come back after the build to make corrections. We are still working with the project manager who has addressed our issues as they have been presented to him. I wonder if reviews are even read by management. ... More

Shea's focus seems to be "on getting the house closed" and less on customer" after sales service."eg two Monogram appliances installed by Shea have required repeat service calls organized by the owner; service calls are usually made by less experienced employees (faulty HVAC needed three visits to get level expertise needed. However, Field Rep selected by Shea has been helpful, polite and supportive.Punch list completion slow and requires new owners to spend a lot of time on appointments which are often not long enough to get work done ("will have to come back.")......punch list crew seem to be rushing from appt to appt. ...
