Less than Promised and Expected

  • Daniel V.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • March 01, 2022
  • Front Royal, VA

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.

Shea Homes responded:
Hi Daniel. Thank you for your feedback on your new home experience. John will follow up with you to discuss any remaining issues on your home. trilogy

Shea Homes - Trilogy - Be aware that if you buy a “Designer” home, it’s nothing more

  • Liz W.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • December 07, 2021
  • Front Royal, VA

Be aware that if you buy a “Designer” home, it’s nothing more than a spec home with no extras. I’ve already spent $25k upgrading things…not happy about that.

Shea Homes responded:
Hi Liz. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. A designer home is an already under construction home that will close before a new build, allowing you to move in sooner. Because the home has started, many of the options and upgrades within the home have already been chosen by our design team. We do try to add a mix of our most popular options including upgrades versus just standards and allow for the buyer to choose or change some options providing those changes fit within our construction schedule. If you have concerns about the options/upgrades in your home, please reach out to our sales manager Wendy to review these items. ...

We lived out of state during the construction of our home. The Shea team made that process relatively stress free by communicating with us regularly with photos and email updates regarding the construction progress.

Workmanship in my opinion was abysmal.

  • Orval B.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • November 09, 2021
  • Front Royal, VA

SOD was laid unevenly. Cabinets had obvious damage and was incorrectly installed. Electrical mounts are crooked. Cracks already showing up in the driveway and basement foundation. Porch concrete discolored. Baseboards were poorly attached with no pride in workmanship.

Shea Homes responded:
Hi Orval. Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you are experiencing some issues with your new home. Kristine has been and will continue to take care of these issues and she'll be out to visit you during the 5 month walkthrough. trilogy

Attention to detail was lacking on the final product for deliver. On our week prior to close the walls in the house were not painted the correct color.

Shea Homes responded:
Hi Robert. Thank you for your review. The walls were repainted prior to your closings. If there continues to be an issue with the paint color or anything else in your home, please reach out to Kristine and she will continue to work with you. Thank you! trilogy

First 30 day punch list was long but expected. Our customer service rep assigned to our house was on top of all the issues. The trades were great and responsive to the issues as well. Only wish the dust and truck traffic would be improved by requiring trucks to use the access road.
