My house was move in ready and could not have added another upgrade to make it perfect. Love the open space, the view and most importantly the quality in a Shea home.

Communication from the Sales Department has been exceptional. Understanding that we purchased our home at the onset of the COVID Pandemic, there have been some challenges; communication from trades & completion of punchlists have been the largest hurdle. All in all, we love our home and have enjoyed the process.

Compared to other builders over the years, I felt there was a lack of information when issues arose.

Don’t use Shea mortgage! And upgrade options are very overpriced. Things that can be done later, such as landscaping, are better to do on your own.

When buying a Shea home you get the most bang for your buck. Shea design center pricing is better than any other home builder out there with premium products.

  • Wickenburg, AZ

Excellent experience! I ultimately bought my Shea home the virtual way! COVID-19 has changed many things for us all. After searching different Arizona areas and houses on line, I determined the Wickenburg Ranch development was a good fit. I love the terrain, the hills and mountains, the openness was extremely appealing! Gave me a sense of freedom.! Fortunately when I made contact with Shea homes for “move-in”ready homes, I was connected to Ted. Ted is a terrific person to work with. He conducted virtual tours multiple times on several homes of interest. I have to admit I ...

  • Ester B.

I love our home and am delighted that we found this area and home builder. It’s not a custom home and so we are adding what we like. I am however very very disappointed with all the outside area soil. I have never moved into a home that the builder did not improve the soil so that it was possible to plant. The other day I saw my neighbor shovels out water in his yard with a BUCKET! I thought a water line broke . I asked him what happened and he said: this is crappy soil - water can’t be absorbed . A very expensive and time consuming fix is required. That is deceitful and not necessary. You ...

Our sales person has been great, even throughout the pandemic/hurricanes/snow storms, she has stayed in touch with us. Throughout the build on the other hand there were several issues that were addressed but had they been done when first notified issues would have gone smoother. There is still items that have not been resolved since the walk through. Electrical items and lighting that was selected from the beginning, were forgotten and had to be installed later with more cut outs done to drywall. Other issues like; •Sprinklers system had a leak. •Double garage door is having issues. •Doors to ...

The Experience

  • Jeffery S.

  • February 17, 2021
  • Bonney Lake, WA

Quick review - The selection of options experience was terrible (didn't know the products, not helpful with selections). Follow through on making sure options on the home get installed was not good - forgot to put in insulation in key areas as an example - really need to keep an eye on the build process. Good news - after purchase support / follow through very good so it all eventually gets done. Still, home and options are very overpriced for the money...

We appreciated the friendliness of everyone we have had contact with, and we were impressed by the timeline from start to finish. Even with COVID, weather issues, and a fire in the area that shut down all construction, the timeline was just one week off of the projected completion date. The home is beautiful, we love it!

Take your business elsewhere. Shea built us a subpar home that is not worth the premium pricing they asked for. There was very little receptiveness to criticism from us pointing out even the most obvious of issues. Ask to meet and talk to the construction manager before deciding to sign the contract.

Shea Homes responded:
Thank you for your feedback, Randy. Our team is and has been working with you to address your concerns about the home. We believe we will be able to effectively address these concerns in the normal course of business. shea
