Our Review |
| Editor's Rating |

| Editorial Review | Cappaert Homes does not focus on modular homes. They are a manufactured mobile home provider. They seem to focus on the entry level market with simple floorplans. They focus on affordability and do a good job providing a sound home at a good price. If you have limited finances this might be your way into a home. We are not confident that they can handle the finder details expected by upper scale home buyers. |

Personal Reviews of Cappaert Manufactured Housing
 Henri from denham springs THE WORST MISTAKE I EVER MADE. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT WITCH IS A -50 OUT OF 10 AND THATS BEING NICE. i'M A 8 YEAR VET ON DISSABILITY AND THEY TOOK MY CASH. i PAID IN FULL 2.5 YEARS AGO STILL AM LIVING IN A SUBSTANDARD HOME WITH MY FAMILY. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT RIGHT AND WRONG JUST PROFIT. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE POOR WORKMANSHIP. ALSO FOR THEIR TREATMENT OF AMERICAN VETERANS, BUT GOD IS WATCHING WHAT U SOW U ALSO REAP[!!!!!!!!!!!!  Charles Jewell from Winnsboro Feb 19 2010 they showed up & worked on doors all thru the house, fixed about 9 holes they tore in the fiooring from last trip. Still got to come back an fix the wall behind the stove & the cabnets over the stove, Later.  Corey Rollins from Gloster, Ms I bought my first home from C & W Homes at the end of Dec. Have only been in it a month. I have had leaks in wall and bathrooms. I have a hole in one wall. My floors all bow. My master bath tub and vanity is sperated from wall. No one has called about coming and fixing my new home. I think they should have inspected it alot better instead of being in such a hurry to deilver it to me. Will update as work gets done.  Charles Jewell from Winnsboro It's Feb.8,2010 and we're still waiting on someone to come out to fix our trailer. There's been some bad weather but theirs been alot of good days too... Later with the Date they show up.  Paul & Kim from Opelousas, la. I Hate my home. I sure hope that the people that built this one are not still doing that for a living. I need to sell it but who is going to by this piece of junk. The roof is destroyed and the home has some mold in it.  Charles Jewell from Winnsboro They delivered our home on Sept. 2 2009. Moved in just in time for Thanksgiving due to sorry workmanship. I've never seen anything like it. If i had done a job that sad i'd got fired that day. I'd list the problems but that would take to long. Today's Jan.19,2010 sent in my 30 day list an still waiting. It Would have been a Nice Home, We would have really enjoyed it-But we got our bubble busted . I'll check back later with a update on how we get treated and how long it takes them to TREAT...ME !  Charles Jewell from Winnsboro I'm not going to lie, Our's is a nice home. I just don't believe they inspect their trailers & their not really good about coming out to fix whats wrong. We made a list 5 pages long a month later they sent someone out. They rushed them so much they messed up other stuff. We still have our 30 day list stuff they have to come back & fix. They sent out a man to work on the wiring to the plug behind the stove, He had to run another wire to get it to work, someone had left out a wire. Not real supprizeing by the way the rest of it looked. Look Hard Before Buying !!!!  Roxane from Star City, Arkansas I hate my Cappaert home. Where do I start. I'm in the process of fixing the roof, I replaced the tub in the master bath and when I did OMG! They didn't seal around the tub and all the water was rotting the floor and the wall. I have yellowish smears on some of the walls(I have no idea where that came from). 2 of the walls in the kitchen bowed out and they had to be replaced. The smell from the venting under the sinks. The trim is awful! The company ought to be ashamed of their work. DO NOT BUY A CAPPAERT HOME!  james meche from opelousas LA I put one star because they don't have lower!!! I have had my home for two months, and have never been able to live in it!! I can' even start to name all, and I mean all that is wrong with it! I was mad at myself at first, but now I blame the company, and the goverment for letting them sell some thing like this. we got a zone 3 so it would be stronger for the winds,but I already have two peices. from the outside that is falling off!! The only thing i can say to help other people is to look at every inch of everything, and then turn aroudn, and run fast!!!!  Rita Menard from Texas Actually, it would be zero stars!!! We have had nothing but trouble with this mobile home since we purchased it. The trim is horrible, the outlets SHOULD be mounted to wall studs, but they are only stuck to the sheetrock, and so two outlets have caved in and are a fire hazard now. The dishwasher is impossible to remove so we can't replace it with a new one. In my opinion, John Smith from Texas is completely fictitious, because anyone who owns a Cappaert home is robbed of their money.  Dawn & Norman from Louisiana My father and I bought a Cappaert home in 2004 and we have been terribly unhappy with the home. The roof is horrible it leaks through the vents in the bathrooms we had to have them repaired. The people who set the home up ripped the carpet and the dealer would not replace it, The floors are rising through the home, the plumbing is horrible it smells like sewer due to the vents being vented under sink instead of roof, (pretty embarrising and smelly for guest or us). We recently had plumbing problems and had to tear out bathroom walls and we were in shock as to how the home was put together. The walls did not go all the way to ceiling and boards were torn and were covered up with trim strips. The trim is horrible and falling off throughout home and has smears all over it and walls. We were told this is normal for the home. We have staples sticking out all through home we had to sink in. Our side by side refrigerator is already gone we called service numerous times on it and they could not find the problem as it would be fine when they arrived. Same goes for dishwasher. We keep wondering what is next with the home. We will never buy another home from the company. If it was not for us using family property as down payment and losing it we would sell this home. It will not last the 30 years. These homes are trash. Spend the extra to get a good home. We wish we did.  Vicki from Arkansas we have not as of yet purchased a mobile home but can tell you that we were treated with the upmost kindness and helpfulness at the cappaert dealer in Eldorado, AR.Would recomend them to friends who are also looking to buy a manufactured home. They have some lovely models and look to be built as well as any other brands that we have looked at. We really loved the exterior appearance of their homes more than most!  Doug from Lafayette, La I was looking for a 2 br/1 bath that was true plywood and not presswood construction. Also was looking in the $20k-$21k range which I found with my Cappaert home. Have had one roof issue with the bathroom vent which my brother and I fixed myself roof caulk and have had no other issues. Otherwise, for the price I paid, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would buy another one.  Paul from Louisiana I bought my home 3 years ago and it is terrible. The roof is horrible. Will never own another one I am trying to sell now.  Floyd from Louisiana I bought my new home and wish that I would have spent the extra money on a more presentable product. The walls inside my mobile home look as though putty was smeared throughout. My molding does not meet in some places. My shower doors have never closed properly nor have any of my interior doors. My floors are bowed in several places. My mobile home has so many cosmetic issues it is unreal. The service department is one of the most poorest I have ever encountered. The company only has one person to do service on mobile homes in my area and the service that was done, was done poorly. I recieved more damages to my home by allowing the service man do the work he did. Capparet did not hold to their factory warranty. Do the right thing and spend the extra thousands and get a better built home.  Elizabeth from Louisiana My husband and I bought a Cappaert home and have nothing but trouble with it (especially the roof). The service department does not provide good service at all (they never wanted to come and do their job). I actually would give it zero stars if possible. Spend your hard earned money on better quality!!!!  john smith from texas cappaert,by my findings is to be one of the industries most leading manufactured homes judging by its appearance,durability,and solid constuction built of nothing less than quality name brand products.the solidness and structurely sound appearance and feeling is something me and my family have already came to enjoy and appreciate..thank you cappaert homes for your second to none service and our wonderful home..  marygilboy from natchez,ms 39120 unable to get service on roof in front since purchasing the 2004 platinum model, it is wavy like the joists are warped. also unable to get specs for roof pitch to add a porch to the rear. numerous calls to the seller and service department have largely been ignored.
