Shea Homes Reviews

Eric and Marcie are great.

The entire team was very proffessional and informative. It was a pleasurable and easy buying experience.

Sub par customer care and lack of empathy.

Many misrepresentations about what is included, very poor communication, many delays due to work having to be done over and over. Interior paint and trim is very sloppy and not to a professional standard for even an entry level home. Delays were not due to covid they were due to poor resource management and needless duplication of work that is still a mess.

The builder includes the best and most up to date methods in home building in the base price of your home. Shea homes are a delight.

Post construction QualityChecks by project managers is missing.

The location is fantastic... The quality, communication and sales efforts were first class! The upgrade process was grueling but worthwhile. A few glitches but that's expected! All in all, The Grove is a Homerun... and the folks are very professional to work with.

Easy to work with and professional.

Workmen have not shown up when they were scheduled to. Closed 12/31/21. I am still waiting for mirrors and shower doors on my master shower. It has been 9 weeks. Smart home visit was just completed yesterday. There appears to be a disconnect between contractors.

We have chosen this home mainly for community and proximity to our parents. Unfortunately the quality of workmanship and material was way below what we expected for such a high price!

Overall, we love our home and the neighborhood in Wickenburg Ranch. There were a number of issues regarding paint quality (recommend hiring your own painter) , drywall quality, door placement, leaky shower door, and exposed pipes on the patio. After 2 months of difficult discussions we were finally able to get Shea to resolve most of the problems.

Took care of us from start to finish. Great experience as a first time home buyer!

Closed escrow December of last year It now May and still waiting for Ring doorbell and Wi-Fi plus repairs needed

Would never buy a shea home again, worst experience from start to end

We had a good experience

Home is excellent, problem solving responsibilities is very good. All and all a great experience. Thank You

Major options in the model may not be available to you. Ask about every option prior to signing. Finish work is horrible but, they do try to make repairs if you point out the issues. Some repairs work, some, not so much. I personally believe in delivering an acceptable and finish product without the customer having to point out issues. Pricing on options. Any upgrades are priced without considering a credit for the included option. Ex. A change from the low grade carpet to a mid level carpet is as much as having the carpet torn out and replaced with high grade product after the purchase closes. In most cases it is cheaper to have something done after the fact. Remember that the design staff work on commission so there may be room to negotiate. I simply said to delete the upgrade, commission on a lesser amount is still better than on zero. ... More

Expect less than full candor from Shea, reluctance to address for builder to correct reported issues, certain paired windows that do not match in size, haphazard interior work with wall surfaces, and incomplete resolution of all reported issues at one month walkthrough. Many issues were missed by time of closing by the builder at the first walkthrough. We expected much better and now have to endure two years of ugly construction behind our home and also occasional blasting that will continue for awhile, both of which we were not told about by Shea Homes.

Our experience may be unique, but we did not have a good experience with Shea throughout the buying and build process. It all depends on who you work with in the sales office, the project managers, and how they address issues that arise. Unfortunate given our situation could have been handled very differently with a better outcome.

Great end to end experience.

A wonderful experience with a great builder who has integrity and great communication during the building process. All of the representatives are stellar. I highly recommend a Shea home.

Shea limited site visits to only once per month, seemingly to avoid us (and others) from pointing out various issues, like missing insulation, or missing options, or incorrect placement of options. They like to blame the trades for these issues, but they don't seem to manage their trades very well, and are more concerned about meeting schedule than delivering quality.

The one in charge of the project was awesome! He was so responsive and took interest in our concerns. His name started with an A since I am not supposed to give out names and we are on Solera Street.

Generally speaking, I have good experience with the home purchase. Shea delivered the home on-time. However, there are lots of issues in the home. Just mention a few examples, such as air conditioning did not work because someone turned off the switch and we don't know where it is; doors are not properly polished and crooked, which we are still work with customer service to make correction; there are big holes under carpet, which just have been corrected. Paint needs to be touched due to either incomplete painting or have defects. I like your customer service personnel, who works with us closely to overcome the issues. Your continuous support is important to make the home cosmetics and functional right. ... More

We just purchased a new home at Cetara by Shea Homes. The handover process was extremely disappointing, so much so that after 2 months of moving in we are still chasing to have almost everything fixed/ repaired/ replaced. The list is too long, but it includes flooring, shabby painting, poor workmanship, electrical issues, almost felt like we purchased from amateurs. Not a happy customer.
