Colony Factory Crafted Homes

I moved in with my fiance in 2006, into a 2003 Colony Doublewide home, I am verry impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this home! it is very spacious and easy to heat, I dont know much about these homes but I can say this house is very comfortable and my fiance said he has never had any issues with Colony at all and Owl Homes Of Allegany has been awesome to deal with starting with Sam his salesman and the whole sevice Crew that has come to make small repairs.
I can say we are very happy with our Colony home and would reccomend Colony to anyone looking for a new home.

I purchased my double wide new in 2000 I had a few minor problems but they were taken care of. The only headache I have is when it is very windy my shingles blow off from the first year that I bought it ,I have had shingles replaced numerous times,so far I went trough two packs of shingles that they gave me when I purchased it.To go trough the company that manufactures the shingles was to much of a headache,they wanted pictures plus to send them a sample of the shingle,and then you were not guarenteed they would take care of it and as many times as I had to replace them I would have to go through the same process.Acarpenter told me they stapled the singles on instead of nailing them on. I figure I.ll end up with a new roof eventually.Now my sky lights are deterating from the weather and have a crack in each one,they also have to be relaced.Other then those two problems I love my home.

I bought a 2008 model and absolutely love it - I have had no problems, except for the skirting blowing out of it's tract due to high winds. But that's about it. It's easy to care for - heating bills and A/C are low. Great home!

I bought my 1996 home because I like the floor plan and could change some of the inside design. I too, have had problems of molding falling off, interior doors not level, middle ceiling octagon cabnet not attached to studs and started to pull away from the ceiling and fall, rugs not stretch, since they have, ridge high lines of carpet you trip over. Sinks that had to be replace because of cracked and leaking. I tried to replace my kitchen light with another upgraded light fixture and it couldn't be done, because no studs to hold the new light. I'm just hoping the one there now, won't fall. Outside of the home is falling apart. The vinyl siding & vent has cracks, plus the siding keeps coming apart and you have to snap the strips back together. The foundation vents are hard to open and close and my roofing contractor says the ridge vent is not long enough to be effective and I'm having early failure to my shingles. My insurance adjuster & 2 roofing Companies have never seen anything like it all their years. They claimed the shingles probably sat in a warehouse for a long time in hot and cold. My home is a little over 10 years, but I had problems from Day 1, even before the 10 years of waranty. IKO shingle Company has agreed to pay, but will only pro rate, which means I get 30% of the price of shingles, no labor and no extra supplies I need. This means I get $569.00 on a $7,000.00 Job. Colony refuses to talk to me, saying the Home warranty has expired. Apparantly the roofing problem is a on going problem with this home and this Company refuses to do anything.

Well still no word from Colony as to what they are going to do about the poor manufacturing of my home. My roof isn't leaking but the shingles are totally shot. floor in master bath is weak, rear door held on by 1 hinge. I need some help here from the manufacturer. This house is a piece of crap and will never purchase another Commodore or Colony again..

my husband and I bought a brand new colony home a year ago,so far we have had so many problems with this house and to get someone out here to do the repairs is just impossible.. We went with Colony because it was the best manufactred home out there,boy was we wrong..our roof has a big bow in it,out kitchen cabniets was un even.our wall in our kitchen was cracked,trim was busted,1/2 of our doors throughout would not latch,our home was 2inches apart due to fulty put together..between the retailer and colony we have had nothing but a major headache..if i had a do over i would not purchase a colony home....

I love this home. I purchased it in 1995. The only issue I have had since i move in is my roofing shingles are falling apart and must be replaced now. Most roofing shingles have a minimum 20 year warrentee. I saved one rapper from the time the home was installed. The roofing was made by Atlas Roofing Corp. my home SN: ST06565ABC How Do I Contact the roofing material mfg. to take advantage of the time remaining on the shingle warrentee?

I bought a home from river view crossing 1997 serial#09976a model lt301 make colony well vnow in aug. of2008 I hade to replace my ROOF BECAUSE YOUR FAVCTORY DID NOT PUT IN ROOF VENTS.

I PURCHASED A 2000SQ. FT.MODULAR COLONY HOME IN 1995. I WAS IN THE MANFUFACTURED HOUSING INDUSTRY FOR 30 YEARS, AND OF ALL THE HOMES OUT THERE, TO ME COLONY HOMES WAS THE BEST FOR FINISH, CONSTRUCTION,SERVICE AND WARRANTY.
THIS HOME IS ACTUALLY BUILT BETTER THAN A STICK BUILT HOME,, AND AT THAT TIME FOR 50 DOLLARS PER SQ. FT. THE BEST DEAL IN THE MARKET. I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT I AM WELL PLEASED WITH THIS HOME 18 YEARS LATER.
MIKE HOLMS, OF HOLMS ON HOMES,, WOULD GIVE A THUMBS UP ON COLONY CONSTRUCTION,,,, ~!!!!!!!
THANKS COLONY ON A SUPER HOME,,,

I purchased a used 1994 Colony Sectional in 2004. The shingles are curling, the rear door is falling off the hinges, (only one hinge is holding the door on. No vents in the bathrooms, floor in master bath is weak. Wiring issues with dryer and caused a fire. Frames for the window screens are flimsy. I would not purchase again, I would by a Pine Grove. I am not so worried about any other problems but the roof shingles are shot. No let's see if Colony will fix the problem.

Unsatisfied so far
