| 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
 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.
