Shea Homes Reviews

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.

The follow up for repairs etc. is poor. The trades run Shea not the other way around. People show up unannounced and are not controlled. There is profit and there is overhead and things will not be so easy in the future as it gets back to more normal.

Exceptionally appealing project, homes, and designs. Good value for money. Sales experience extremely professional and transparent. Too many punch list items at close of escrow and I should have insisted they fixed more things before close as finishing things up as been ragged and slow.

They used a lot of extra material for the model home that I bought which I really did not like there was not any option to change any of it. Which I thought was not fair if I am paying $80000 Above the actual price due to upgrades I should have been able to make some changes They way I like it not to pay that much extra because someone else decided for me. The garage opening is super small. I wish they could make some changes to that every in and out of the garage is a challenge. And finally the loan department is not customer friendly at all. Thank you for asking about my opinion I sure hope that you could really help me with the issues. Thank you ... More

Many defects, poor workmanship by the crafts. Many things pointed out prior to close were not addressed. Hurry up and sell mentality. Terrible customer service manager who doesn't pick up or return my calls from me.

The Shea Team for my transaction is very professional and efficient. Robin, Amna, Matt, Rickey, Salvador are all very professional and respond almost instantly on issues during the transaction and after the sale. They care about the homeowners very much!

The Shae team was awesome to deal with buying our new house.

Move in and walk through was great. Had our one month service and everything has been corrected. Service is great and so is Casey. Love our home and the community

We closed on our home over 2 months ago and our solar panels still are not in working condition. When they were installed there was an issue with the wiring so as a result we’re on the hook for something that was supposed to be in working order at the time of closing. Might be another month before they can be fixed.

Great job from start to finish.

We had a great experience in buying our Shea home. The communication was great throughout the process from sales, construction and customer service. Shea included a lot of nice features so we were able to stay within our budget when selecting options. The workmanship and attention to detail was impressive. We love our new home.

I am out away from the country right now. I got my keys and the customer service gentleman was awesome. I’m so looking forward to move to the house next month

The sales team, Marci and Eric were amazing to work with. Work around our schedules and always made us feel excited. My only knock is that many things are not complete in our home, due to back ordering, which I understand but the communication (or lack there of) has been disappointing. We have no idea of when we will have these items installed.

Good overall experience. Be prepared to work with the builder after delivery on product and construction issues.

Love the Shea home product. Would recommend the area and Shea Homes to others.

Shea has their act together. They care about your satisfaction and getting it right for the customer.

Quality of the home is good but minimum they need to give house for 1889 sqft for the price. On top, house rates shld be stable. Every 2 weeks 30 to 40k increase I did not like it. Communication is good Workers are good Work site manager is good

Great experience from the beginning to the moment we moved in. From the sales reps to the supervisors everyone was super helpful. The superior quality of our new home is very impressive.

Hmthe finish work is poor.
