I have a simple request. My home burned down in March of 2023, I purchased a home from Clayton Homes, Crestview a few months later. I have never received a signed copy of my "Manufactured Home Purchase Order and Federal Disclosure Statement." Nor have I received a copy of my signed quote conformation, or any change requests. I have called many many times, and have been told a few different excuses, ie: "we're so busy, we'll get to it, I have huge stack to go through to find it, and we don't have computer files available, the best one, your sales rep. doesn't work here anymore."
Also I don't have a signed copy of my welcome home checklist, that could be because I NEVER HAD A WELCOME HOME VISIT! NO walk-through, NO nothing. The other day I called your TN. plant and was told I should have received a copy from the rep. doing the welcome home walk-through... NOT. I got my keys from your workman. A simple request I need my signed copies of all my paperwork. I can't attached verified buyer proof, BECAUSE I HAVE NO PAPERWORK. Hard to believe that Berkshire Hathaway aka Warren Buffett doesn't have computer records.

Cheapest built home ever! The floors aren't swept before covering with the cheapest stuff ever (carpet doesn't even have padding under it) resulting in bumps in the flooring, they have no 3 way switches (hall, entry doors, large rooms all have only 1 switch) whole house fan doesn't pull enough air to tell it's on, cabinets have bowed wood under them, cabinet drawers are falling apart after less than 3 months and that's not from over filling, fixtures fill like plastic. Trim work is coming away from walls, back porch light seems to have a shortage and the lady goes on. The 1 good thing is the layout, except for the fact if you cook in the oven the fire alarm goes off even if there is no smoke so here we are, dead of winter opening the sliding glass door with a fan blowing out to keep the alarms off. No attic access.

From day one we had numerous water leaks, electrical issues, etc… The list just goes on and on.

Clayton Homes of Roanoke Rapids, sold my sister a home off of the lot. They promised her that if she bought a model home that it would be put in much faster than if they had to build one.. Ten months later and she is still not in her home, they were very slow in getting permits, finding someone to put in the septic tank, they were just very slow with everything. They told her last week that she would be in her home by Friday, here It is almost a week later, and she is still not in her home, the air-conditioning and heating were supposed to be put in last week. Now they promise her it will be put in this week. Had she gone ahead and bought a new home she could’ve had it made to her specifications such as walk-in shower that she wanted. Once they have made their sale to you they will take their sweet time with anything else. Don’t trust them.

I bought my Clayton home 2 years ago and was very disappointed in it. My roof leaks through my hall light when it rains. It pours so bad that I needed 3 towels to soak it all up. Thank goodness it stopped raining. I paid over a thousand to, "supposedly" get it fixed. All over my roof there were many exposed nail heads. The guy thought maybe that's how water was getting in. Well, when we got the next rain, it poured in my house through the light again. Of course Clayton Homes never returned my call and emails.
If I would have read some reviews before buying and hearing that the one that is head of Clayton homes now doesn't run things like the older man did, I would not have bought a Clayton home. Plus all over my floor I can see nail beads under the floor. . I'm sure eventually over time the floor will start tearing through where the nail is under it. I have pictures if anyone wants to see my issues. Give me your cell or email and I'll send you all my pictures. It's not letting send but one on here. My email is **. I can send you the mess I have that I shouldn't after spending this much on a house.

I thought it was a good price, there was no models of the home I bought, but I was given illustration how the home would look. Had to add a lot of upgrades, my home wasn’t ready when it was supposed to be. Owned the home one year and the roof started flying off, contacted customer service. They said the roof is not under warranty due to weather issues. I should call my home owners insurance. My home is on my property with a stick home which is 25 years old and that roof didn’t fly apart. I had that home built. The craftsmanship is not good, The door moldings pull apart. Had to nail and glue it together, the laminate countertops is peeling apart. Had to glue it, right along with the cabinets siding. Only good things that is lasting past this year is the windows and the flooring.

My experience with Clayton Homes has been a complete disaster, and the photos speak for themselves. The home was left with unfinished and poorly executed work. The foundation and supports are improperly installed, with stacked concrete blocks that appear uneven, unsupported, and carelessly placed. The grading around the home is incomplete and poorly done, creating clear concerns about stability, drainage, erosion, and long-term safety. The stairs and exterior work are unfinished and unprofessional, with visible gaps, exposed areas, and no proper finishing or protection. This is not acceptable workmanship for a new home. It looks rushed, careless, and completely lacking in quality control.
The subcontractors were clearly incompetent, and there was no qualified oversight or leadership ensuring the work met even basic standards. Management repeatedly lied and misled me about progress, quality, and completion. Once issues were raised, leadership became unresponsive, dismissive, and untrustworthy. Clayton Homes’ leadership shows no qualifications, no accountability, and no professionalism. This entire project reflects terrible workmanship, misleading promises, and a complete failure to deliver a safe, finished product. Buying a home is one of the largest investments a person makes. Clayton Homes treated it with complete disregard. Based on the unfinished work, incompetent subcontractors, dishonest leadership, and overall lack of standards, I would strongly warn anyone considering Clayton Homes to look elsewhere.

We purchased our home in 2025. It was delivered June of 2025 to the home center after 2 months of it sitting there. It was delivered to our property where it sat another month and a half before being set up. It has been 6 months and we still can't move in. No water, drywall hasn't been replaced, electric on one side doesn't work. Our inspection hasn't passed and every time anyone makes an appointment to come out suddenly they are sent somewhere else. We are paying a lot of money for a big yard ornament. The whole experience has made us a laughingstock. The whole experience has been a nightmare with no end in sight. Most people are able to move in after 30 days. Calling and yelling doesn't work. We've tried that. Our house is attached to our property so not making the payment isn't an option.

I'm not sure who the "many people" are that agree Clayton Homes is a reputable company but evidently they were the select few that didn't get screwed over by them. Clayton homes is a horrible company and they do not care about quality, customer service, the clients, installation/setup, punctuality, speed or anything else that would make them a good company. Their homes are garbage and so is the entire company.

First thing I want to talk about is that we decided to not have carpet put in our home. When the home arrived there is the metal strip that joins the two sides of the house together that normally transitions from vinyl to carpet. There are staples a good two inches from the metal strip that are not covered. Absolutely no pride in their work. Next we should talk about plumbing. Under the kitchen sink is PEX plastic tubing. No shut-off valves for water and plastic fittings that leak like a strained under Niagara falls. The fear of breaking them if you tighten them is real. Replace them with metal asap. If you are still looking at a Clayton Home make sure you read this twice. They wired the refrigerator on a breaker then put a GFI and string of outlets on the same breaker. The GFI did not trip but there was a fire in the outlet box that our refrigerator was plugged into. It melted the upper outlet and cover.
As for the rest of the wiring, well remember drugs are legal in Oregon. We had two outlets not even wired. We had three outlets that were overloaded with wires beyond wiring standards. This caused a short that knocked out the entire bathroom, closet, and half the outlets in the master bedroom. Another outlet was wired so that if you plugged something in to the upper outlet, it worked. If you plugged something into the lower outlet, it cut the power to a quarter of the house. One set of three way switches was wired wrong. In fact the election looking at it wanted to know if the people that did the wiring were smoking dope. I did mention these are built in Oregon. All of the issues were reported to CMH and were ignored. I would not recommend this manufacturer over any manufacturer that built mobile homes in the 70s. They were much better built then. A tuff shed is built to higher standards.

My husband and I purchased our home from Freedom Homes in Buckhannon. We moved in June 23, 2025. We first turned on our heat in October to only discover we don’t have adequate heat flow to all our vents with one of the bedrooms and the bathroom having no air flow at all. The House most days (with the temperature being colder outside) only maintains 67 degrees despite the heat being set at 73. We have got several alerts from our Ecobee about the furnace running to long because it can’t maintain the heat desired and my electric bill has doubled due to the lack of heat and having to run heaters that the company provided for us in my children’s room so they don’t freeze. (My daughter’s bedroom and her bathroom is the room that has zero airflow.)
Two HVAC companies have came out with the first one saying the unit is too small for our home and the duct work is wrong. They turned the issue over to manufacturer who still hasn’t fixed the issue and is now not returning my phone calls. I live in the mountain of West Virginia where our high temperature the other day was 2 degrees and these people have yet to correct my heating issue or even return phone calls!

If you invite problems and substandard materials, and service, hire this company. We are second owners of a single family residence built by Clayton Homes in 2021 and have inherited floors that are peel and stick, leaving gaps 1/2 inch wide between planks. Could not see in online photos. No resolution--past warranty. Had to eat the cost to replace with real LVP tongue and groove. 6 flooring professionals said our builder installed the floors incorrectly and that they were so cheap. Also, cheap laminate used on countertops in bathrooms and laundry room. Gutters installed only on front of home. What? Front door misaligned. Wind comes through.

Bought a home from Dream Homes in Hazard KY, which is partnered with Lakeside Homes, INC in Jackson KY. Getting in touch with Lakeside homes about issue and repairs has been a headache. They never respond back with any updates and always give me the run around on replacing damaged items. The home itself is a Clayton home. The home does not hold up to what we expected of a Clayton home after researching into mobile homes. The water lines are continuously making popping noises, the ceilings are cracked in places, the door thresholds leak, objects under the flooring are beginning to rip it, light fixtures fall out and have to be put back in, wall trim falls off, and the bathroom vanity is falling apart.

I bought another one from Budget Hokes in Waco and put it within 100 feet of the Clayton and No Problems.

We bought our home through Variety Homes in Abingdon, Va. NEVER recommend them! If my house (1959 model) had been a car, it would have been a lemon. Closed on house at end of May and moved in mid September. I had 3 pages of stuff needing fixed. This included issues with back door, living room window crooked, kitchen outlets not working and a front door that when locked could still be opened. Turned on water and the whole back half of my trailer flooded because someone didn't bother to fasten hose to hot water heater correctly. Went to take a shower in master bathroom and flooded the whole master bedroom suite. Again, wasn't put together right. We are now in November and I have still to get my back door fixed and living room window fixed and only part of kitchen outlets work.
I was told at the beginning of September by Candace at Variety Homes that I had to wait my turn because there were other houses that were bought before mine that had to go first. Well, the gentleman showed up on September 12 to fix my stuff and there was no way he could get everything done in one day so I called back to get another day scheduled and I had to wait until October 6th. He still was not able to get everything done and then I got scheduled to October 31. We still are not done, but supposedly my kitchen outlet issue will get looked at here this weekend, which is a week after he came to fix it for third time. She said everything else will have to be scheduled into December. A window and door replacement in cold weather. That is nuts. There is no excuse why my house still waiting for stuff to be done months later.
It was the point that was made that I had to wait because houses bought before mine went first but each time he doesn't finish I just get shoved to the end of the line where people who bought houses after me are getting work done. Finish one house before you go to the next. Not really a hard concept. Get more contractors if too much work. My issues are not with contractor who has been trying to fix stuff, it is with shoddy workmanship at factory and Variety Homes who can't seem to schedule appropriately. Quantity over quality is no way to keep customers. If any further questions I can be reached at **.

We purchased our mobile home from Clayton Homes in Glasgow almost four years ago. The service we received then was impeccable, and it has not stopped since we received our keys; we are still getting that same service nearly four years later. Recently, the master cold water shutoff started leaking. When I called Clayton Homes and talked to Grant about it, he was very concerned. He promised to have someone come and work on it as soon as possible. Two days later, two service guys, Drew and Bruce, arrived, and they were extremely courteous and professional.
