Our Review

Editor's Rating
Editorial ReviewCavalier Homes mostly builds manufactured mobile homes. With seven factories they produce homes targeted towards the low to mid range market in the Southern states. It is part of a large home building corporation that includes Astro Homes, Bellcrest Homes, Brigadier Homes, Buccaneer Homes, Homestead Homes, Spirit Homes Riverchase Homes Mansion Homes and Town & Country Homes. We have concerns since they do tend to focus on the lower end of the market and produce many mobile homes. They are not the strongest modular producer in their region. Many of the floorplans we looked at appear to be glorified mobile homes that would not blend in very well in most communities. Our mystery shopper did not enjoy their website which is very simple to use since it has very little information.

Personal Reviews of Cavalier Homes

Doug O. from Cleveland,al
I have owned my home since 2005 and was happy with it until the warranty ran out. I started noticing water running from up under the wall toward the front door not to long ago. My wife contacted them and it is no longer covered under any kind of warranty. So I am going to have to tear the walls out in two rooms to find the leak/s before my floor rots out. The water is coming from inside somewhere,and I'm going to find the problem and go from there on my actions with Cavalier Homes.

Curtis Nobles from Bowling Green Florida
We purchased the Cavalier home in 2007 and in 2009 found out the roof was leaking and had been leaking since new, but we didn't know until it soaked the board under the shingles and started leaking into the ceiling inside. Mold has set in and a local roof inspector showed me were the factory placed broken and cut triangle shingles in 7 layers straight in a row. The Shingles did not underlap the shingles on top and leaked thru. Then he showed me were they didn't us any tar paper under the singles. I contacted Randy in the GA plant and he tells me they it isn't there problem. The repairs have been estimated at $12-15 thousand to repair and remove mold. I wouldn't buy another home from Cavalier for my dog to live in.

James Copeland from Hayden, Al
Ilike my home, Power House I think. It has a popping in the roof as temp changes that concerns me. I may see if their service man will look at it.

Mary Ward from Quincy, Florida
I just moved into a 4 bedroom modular home on frame, and I am very disappointed with US Mobile Home Services. My landscaping is just terrible, parking pad is awful. Setup from the start to the ending was terrible. They destroy my property. I don't have my keys to my home yet. Cannot use back door cause don't have the keys. Look like hurricane Fay came through. I will never purchase a home from US Mobile Home again nor recommend them to no one. Bad services. I love the home but the painting is awful.

Christopher from Concord, Virginia
Owned a 2003 model Brigadier Home built by Cavalier, and I was extremely disappointed with the quality of construction. I made some warranty claims which were partially satisfied, but had constant water leaks from the cheap plumbing that was intstalled. The walls started to bow after about 2 years, and the bedroom wall started to separate after 2 1/2 years. And that was the good features of the home! There are far better modular providers out there, and remember that you get what you pay for! Don't waste your money on anything built by Cavalier.

Elaine Segers from Grand Ridge, Florida
We just moved into a beautiful ranch modular home by Cavalier built at the Addison plant. Everything is sheetrock with beautiful crown molding. This home appears to be built better than many of the site built homes we looked at prior to deciding on a modular. Everyone who handled our home from financing to move in was wonderful to deal with. Thank you US Homes, Marianna, Florida and Cavalier!!
