| Editorial Review | BonnaVilla Homes which is part of Chief Industries builds good quality homes but their focus is on manufactured mobile homes and their modular selection suffers from this. Most of their "modular homes" are simply multiple manufactured homes placed together and will not blend in well with stick-built homes. That being said their construction is above average quality. Their website has good information and a 20 page online brochure with many photos. This would be a good option for the lower end of the marketplace or for those not worried about blending in with stick-built homes. |

Personal Reviews of Chief Industries/BonnaVilla Homes
 terry brando from st. michaels, arizona i own a goldenvilla home and i like the quality of the home. this is my 2nd home and i am very happy with it. I recommend a chief industries home to anyone in the market for a manufactured or modular home. this company has been around for quite sometime now and they are very flexible in meeting your needs.  Rebecca Webb from Kansas City, MO We are S-O-L-D on the Bonna Villa homes! Jay at Westwood Manor in Liberty, MO gave us a tour of your homes and pointed out all the superior construction features. He gave us that tour nearly 2 years ago and we have been living with the dream of owning one of your homes since then! Looks like the time is just about here because we have found a site we want to put it on at Linn Valley Lakes south of Kansas City. Thank you for offering such a great product.  Shawna Schaefer from Pine Bluffs WY When we decided to buy a modular home we did our homework very throughly and chose a BonnaVilla home. We are so pleased that we did. We love our home and the construction and quality are outstanding. The factory was very willing to work with in customizing portions of the home and our sales staff was very accomidating. We were somewhat prepared for a nightmare, like so many other stories that we had heard, but we have been pleasantly surprised. The home was delivered on time, and was set within 1 1/2 weeks and completely done with in 3 weeks. Any issues that we had were taken care if promptly by the sales staff and also the manufacturer. We went with a dealer in Scottsbluff Nebraska and our Our after sale service has been amazing. We could not be more pleased.  mike daniel from hooper, ne. we are very pleased with our 2005 BonnaVilla home. the dealer we bought it from is no longer in business, and was not a very good product support company. the carpet was wavey, and they tried to fix it, and tore the carpet, and did not offer to replace it. I called the sales preson to report it, and he said he would see if they had any of our type of carpet. He did not do anything about it either.  Karen Stewart from Grand Junction, Co The quality of the home is fine. The issue is with the selling distributor. We had more issues than we imagined possibly with them. The house was set on the foundation incorrectly and bathtubs and showers do not drain properly. Always a puddle in a corner. We pointed out the exact problems that needed to be fixed and their attitude was one of "we are done with you". This leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
