Our Review |
| Editor's Rating |

| Editorial Review | Avis America is a good option offering custom designed modular homes that will match any site built home. Their website is easy to navigate and has general information along with online floorplans of their standard homes which range up to 3600 sq ft. Their website does lack specific construction details and does not have online brochures. Our mystery shopper had trouble when requesting more information from their website. This is surprising because they do have a good reputation in the industry for good quality construction and holding their builder network to a higher standard. Despite this issue we still feel confident in Avis America and think many home buyers will enjoy this above average new home provider. |

Personal Reviews of AvisAmerica
 Ted Reischl from Norwood, MA Extremely difficult to purchase from. We finally cancelled our order after 4 months of delays. Their policy seems to be to not talk to customers or explain their delays. If you decide to purchase from them, get a delivery date BEFORE you give them a check.  Paul Meroni from Montville, NJ I purchased a home from them 7 years ago. The overall soundness is good BUT. There were fitment problems that resulted in about $15,000.00 worth of extra labor and material to correct. AA did nothing to correct or compensate. I would NEVER recommend them to anyone.
