My home was not bought from this dealer but it was manufactured by Clayton.
My home, when delivered, had very wavy sides, due in part to fastening the siding too tightly. They did come and change out one whole side it's better but not great.
The vinyl floors had particles, under the surface in many places. Their answer was to slice my bran new flooring in those places, removing the particle, then forcing glue under the spot. I was apauled at this practice and fir good reason, as it still looks like crap, 5 years later.
Moldings were haphazardly applied, I fixed them myself, not trusting the results that they might achieve. The new pieces that were supplied, were a bit different in color, as well.
One of the windows was installed crooked, I am living with that.
In spite of having been tested and
inspected, the water pipe was not connected properly, under the laundry room. It leaked and saturated the insulation. I removed the insulation and they were ready to replace it, that same day, without giving time to dry out. I said no!
The cabinets are made with scraps of flimsy wood, with crooked doors, and shiny, rushed assembly that resulted in my having to re-secure the cabinet door and the mounting board, after 5 years. The first picture shows the 1/8" sidewall, that was secured to a 3/4x3/4" scrap of wood, using staples, that were never driven in, all the way, to start with. The second photo shows the piece that the hinge was attached to and the same flimsy scrap of wood, that holds the whole thing to the flimsy luan, no strength, at all.
Fortunatly, I am a craftsman and I was able to do this repair, shown in the 3rd picture. The final pictures show the final repair, that I did.
These homes are made to look good but look closly and see the cheap construction that is underneath the facade.
This home was sold through Oakwood Homes but it was built at Clayton's factory.
