A quick recap of Mary and I being re-homed in a new Clayton Modular House. The first dirt was dug in March of 2021 and we moved in in July 2021. Not bad for a Pandemic construction project. This model house is the Heritage.
There are closets built into the utility room that are used for the hot water heater and the furnace. We had them not include a hot water heater and installed a gas hot water heater in the utility room above the washing machine. So we have an extra closet.
I'm in the process of buying a similar modular home so I can comment on this. Typically, transporting the house to the site and assembling it is included in the price of the home. So if your dealer says the home is $150K, all of that is usually included. What isn't typically included is preparing the site for the home.
Also, it’s important to note that the site prep for this house cost us four times what they said it would. But that may be because of our rural location and how rocky the soil is in our area.
Yes, We bought a $130,000 and the botton line was $669,000 . It was cheaply built. And had all kinds of things that needed to be fixed. I would NEVER recommend buying a Clayton home to anyone. They are not well built and getting things fixed in a timely manner is a fight for every inch. @@hubbard1
Not true. We were charged for land grading and driveway. And the driveway was so terrible we paid $ 8000 more for a decent draveway when they didn't want to fix the one we had.@@hubbard1
TOTALLY agree. Ours is cheaply built. And we had to pay almost $40,000 on top of the price for delivery, driveway, septic, assembly, terrible porches, a roof that leaked, uneven floors, had to have someone else repair the terrible driveway. And the state inspector made them come in and fix the grade and remove standing water under the house. DO NOT even consider buying one.
Oh goodness, I keep hearing bad things about Clayton homes, and they are the primary sellers in my area. With all the bad reviews, you'd think they'd do better!
@@janegoodwin1823 $40k for all the site prep AND septic is not bad at all! Anything wrong with the STRUCTURE, FIT and FINISH on the other hand is on the manufacturer.
@@childset44just don’t listen to the covid reviews because i have had one for a year now and have had no problems. everyone i know with a covid home has had many problems
