Shea Homes - Failure to follow basic builder guidelines.
Shea Homes - Failure to follow basic builder guidelines.
I purchased a new home from Shea, paying above market rates for upgrades. After the 10 year home warranty period we discovered wood rot in the deck, which we paid extra for. Upon investigating the source it was discovered that Shea did not paint or treat any of the...

We purchased the model home in 2009, trusting that Shea at least built up to code. Nine years later when we go to sell, we find out they never finished the flat roof at all. It just had black paper on it. I am not an unreasonable person and asked them to at least come...

As the guy who bought this house and will have to pay for the remainder of the repairs, I'm pretty disgusted that Shea Homes won't fix or pay for the repairs. Especially, since they are still building in a subdivision down the road from here, it wouldn't have taken much time to come on over and look at it.

The wood was rotted and crumbled when touched. I'm not sure what actually held up the roof anymore.

I closed on my new build 9/2018. First red flag was the appraisal came out $15k under the closing price. My home was one of 2 spec homes that was left in the development and the fixtures were all chosen by the design team and they wouldn't let me change anything....

Hi, Just wondering which Shea community you are in? I’m have a home at the Shea development in Ocala, FL and have experienced much of the same decietful practices you have but not to the extreme you have. I believe it is the corporate culture of Shea to build communities and homes that are appealing on the outside but everything thing else is done as cheaply as possible with no accountability.

We built our home in 2013 with Shea. Our roof began to leak and three roofers have told us it is due to improper installation of the flashing. We built our home in Hollister in 2013. We had issues from the beginning with customer service but that is a whole other...

Update by user Apr 27, 2018

I received phone call from Salesperson today. Our home was sold and we will get 40k of our 45k.

I am saddened but relieved. I took a lot of time and thought in making the selections for our home.

There are many features of the neighborhood that cannot be duplicated. As...

It seems quite possible that this is illegal. If they had actually lost $45K due to your failure to purchase, then OK.

But, if they turned around and sold the house for the same price without incurring additional costs, then they have mitigated any damages that were caused by your failure to close. One would think that in that circumstance they might have to give your deposit back.

But, that may be completely wrong -- perhaps there is a liquidated damage clause or something that allows this. Regardless of legality, it certainly seems immoral.

I truly wish I had seen your comments prior to paying my deposit. Yes the concrete in the lanai has a crack too. I think we got the new sales staff that was saying anything to get a sale.

Shea Homes - Great Homes - Poor Club Management

Details
I have now lived here for 3 years. The homes are very well built and excellent value. Club facilities are very nice. Although there have been some soil problems, Shea has done a wonderful job of fixing and compensating those home owners. The main problem is with the Blue Star facilities Co. management (owned by Shea) who take our money, spend it and run things like a dictatorship, Members who try to help with their professional backgrounds and suggestions are ignored or insulted. I would give Shea a **** and the Blue Star Club Management *
