By far the highest construction quality that I have seen in a manufactured home. We bought a Crytal Valley in 2000 and have had orange/brown spots appear on the carpet and on the ceilings. I know of 1 other person that bought a Crytal Valley in 2000 that is having the same issues and I am looking for more people.
I had to fire the contractor because he wouldnt show up. Then I fired him again the next day, took all the money out of the construction fund and finished the home myself. They say modular building is cheaper, But it really isnt, not after the headaches,time & energy wasted tracking down people that dont know much @ building anything.
Order Form
It is the only federally-regulated national building code. On-site additions, such as garages, decks and porches, often add to the attractiveness of manufactured homes and must be built to applicable local, state or regional building codes. By far one of the worst homes you can buy.
Had a hard time finding a replacement hot water heater that would fit in the place provided. When they installed the air conditioner, they forgot to hook up the drain and it caused our floor to get wet by the furnace which in return caused the floor to sink. We where to they would fix it and then they went bankrupt.
Modular Homes
I own a '99 Crystal Valley, one of the first all-drywall homes. My service from Patriot/CV was good, issues taken care of in a timely manner. The home is now 11 years old and has only suffered from typical wear and tear over the years, an occasional floor squeak. Crystal Valley was Patriot's best brand, the base models of the "Columbus" or "Lincoln Park" series were never very good.
The house has been fairly good with insulation issues but otherwise it isn't worth 10 cents. 8 years of little stupid things, but this beats it. Took him 2 years to finish it once it was placed on the basement, so it sat in the weather for at least 3 with no heat. Neighbors say the basement was 1/2 full of water for 6 months because he was too cheap to get the electic hooked up. My question is, did Patriot sell any "as is" or damaged homes at auction or reduced price?
Patriot Builders
We recognize that these communities are deeply rich in culture and tradition. We have developed several collections of Ranch, Cape Cod and Two Story style modular home plans uniquely tailored to meet the housing needs of these special communities. When you purchase a new home we want you to think about decorating, not making repairs. That’s why our new homes come standard with multiple warranties providing peace of mind and, more importantly, tangible results today, tomorrow, and 10 years down the road. After the basic floor plan is designed we will review each room with you showing you different customizable features beyond the floor plan level, most at little or no additional cost.
This is a HORRIBLE company who supports and assists their crooked dealers rather than taking care of the people who fill their coffers, people like my husband and me. My only sorrow at their bankruptcy is that they still owe us $$$$$$$$$$$$$ which at this point I fear we will never see. However, criminal charges are still pending and we are considering other civil solutions. NEVER NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM ANYONE WHO REPRESENTS PATRIOT HOMES. The people are vipers.
The only real difference is that they’re assembled off-site and then delivered to their permanent foundation – for example, in Patriot, Ohio. Our specialty is custom built homes, but we maintain hundreds of standard floor plans to get your thought process off the ground. Sanders Housing provides the largest selection of superior quality single & multi-section manufactured homes and modular homes to NW FL and surrounding areas. We serve Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Holmes, and Washington County in FL. Our service also extends out-of-state to include Baldwin, Mobile, Escambia, Monroe, Conecuh, and Convington County in AL.
By the way, my wife and I bought one of their most expensive homes, a triple wide valued @ $95,000. I am sitting here listening to the roof leak right on my table. I noticed another leak around the fireplace with an insert that never worked. The service from the dealer has been worse than anything I have even heared about. They never hooked up our lines from the master bath so guess what....
Where the drain went through the floor, they had cut a HUGE hole and left it open. A 4" hole would have been normal. This was 14" across. Filled the hole with hardware cloth wire and foam.
Thomas homes in Perry Michigan, the home was new when we bought it. It has been a nightmare the entire time. We have had many leaks in the roof and had to replace the roof already. The windows leak, we need a new back door because it has fallen apart. We bought our manufactured in 2003 from Victorian Homes, a division of Patriot homes. We had it placed on a permanent basement foundation.
There are a lot of misconceptions about prefab homes that you may be familiar with. Although there are key differences between manufactured and modular homes, the truth is that any home built in a factory is held to even higher safety and quality standards than a site-built home. This is to guarantee that they’re built solid and able to withstand the transportation and installation process. Modular homes are also unique because they are almost indistinguishable from stick-built homes.
Would not do it again because I can build faster , better & cheaper with better quallity products. I have 2000 patriot purchased new in 1999. From day one untill today ive had majoy roof leaks mold is now in the ceiling.
