Commodore Homes of Indiana

The siding,floors were warped.The marriage wall was off and floor has always had a "hump". Carpet (their best grade)was shot within 15months, vinyl floor tore easily from dog running,not digging, just running,all GE Appliances quit.Frig at 6mon (fix 5X)stove 3X, Dishwasher2X and replaced disposal at 4months. To get them to stand behind an $82K house has been impossible. After 6yrs, ALL locks have broken,3 doors won't shut(bathrooms&m.bedrm)and so far 4 shorts in electrical system. For a single mom this has been the house from HELL! When it arrived an employee had written (perm. marker)"Commodore Sucks", it has bled thru four diff.paints.That is ok seeing how all the drywall tape on ceiling has shown thru to the point of REDOING EVERY ceiling.The studs in the walls 2x3.4" clothes rods pulled the studs apart!Bookcase in hall,shelves collapsed when 3/4 full.Both showers the handles have shredded, no main water shut off, this house is on full walk out basement, on 18AC,to be our dream home to raise kids.lol LAMO!!!! Work,$$$$$ and excuses from Comadore. The retailer "left" and I am stuck with CRAP. If I had to do this all over again NO WAY would I choose Commodore! I really liked their designs and models,3years to find the "perfect" home only to have me near bankrupt from repairs.I just wish they would stand behind their homes instead of making excuses.My kids are embarrassed to live in our home because the siding has blowen off 3X and had to be replace to "try & match", and OSB on floors? Really????? warp city in kitchen and bathrooms.Love the design (Entertainer);the same design every other company has,just was smoked screened by "arches and tile". Hated to say I was wrong about a company like this but I WAS!!!! I will never be able to get my investment out of it now.

In the spring of 1990 my fiance and I ordered a modular home 28x80, 4 bedroom, 3 bath, fireplace, jet tub etc.. The dealership (no longer in business) screwed up so much of what we ordered it wasn't funny. I called directly down to Commodore and they sent 2 gentlemen up here to correct what they could. The repairmen were fantastic, prompt, polite, very hard working fast and efficient. these guys had to put in 2 cupboards, replace the carpeting (wrong color) in the family room and replace all of the linoleum in the kitchen and mud room because of the dealer NOT doing room sizes accurately, They also put a second skylight in our kitchen (cathedral) ceilings, another carpet in one of the bedrooms, and a few other minor things. NOW 20 years later, we have put in wood floors in the kitchen replaced the counter tops, etc..... put new roof on about 4 years ago, HOWEVER, to us this was all due to normal wear and tear, tons of kids stayed here, at one time had 13 of us here at one time, the roof was because we put so many xmas decorations on the roof. To this day, our siding looks great compared to new and newer homes that are all buckling. About the only issues we have to this day is that it did not have the triangle roof above the entrance, and the double pane windows with argon need to be replaced. All in all, we still love our home, the layout and most of all the service the COMPANY gave us. We are retiring and now want to put it on a basement, so if anyone knows how we could get the floorplans for this I would appreciate it. Again, the dealership sucked, but the company was great!

i would put 0 stars if they had it in here i have nothing good to say about our home or anything good for the plant in shippenville pa i hope more people read this and pass it on they do not get back to you there houses r just slapped together before u buy commodore please check around

I PURCHASED A COMMODORE HOME IN JUNE. I HAVE BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY FOR 10 YEARS.THE QUALITY AND SPECIAL ATTENTION I GOT FROM SALES AND FOLKS AT THE PLANT LEVEL WAS UNBELEIVABLE.THE QUALITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP IN MY HOME IS EXCEPTIONAL.I ALSO CHALLENGED COMMODORE TO GIVE ME A PLANT CONSTRUCTED GARAGE ALREADY ON MY HOME.THEY ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE AND DELIVERED ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT I EXPECTED.THE QUALITY OF MY CABINTRY INCLUDED CUSTOM MOLDINGS AND DOVE TAILED DRAWERS.MANY OF MY FRIENDS ARE AMAZED THAT MY HOME CAME TO THE SITE IN 2 PIECES.THE MARRIAGE LINE IS CONCEALED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT YOU CAN'T TELL.I WILL NOT HESITATE TO RECCOMEND A COMMODORE HOME TO ANY ONE LOOKING FOR A QUALITY HOME TO LIVE IN FAST.. 2 THUMBS UP FROM ME..3 IF I HAD AN EXTRA HAND..

We love our Commodore home. We were newlyweds when we purchased it and now we've been in it for almost 9 years and have 3 small children. My husband and I love to cook and the large kitchen is wonderful. We still love the house, even though it is overall, very small. I often say, "How many newly married couples have the opportunity to live in a brand new home?

Our first year, we had a Commodore employee come and fix all of our complaints from the house settling before our one year warranty ran out. No problems from them for doing the work. We've finished our basement which doubled the size of the house. We've added a porch and back deck and changed out the front door. We're about to replace the carpet with hard wood. We love our home and are so thankful we went with Commodore!

very happy with the design of the home, but i feel that the trim could look a lot better, the cabinet doors and drawers are not finished right, and the appliances have caused a lot of problems. refrigerator, furnace. They are trying to work with us, but if we knew the problems we would have we would never have bought a commodore home from Goshen, In.

We love our Commodore Grandville Ranch. With almost 2300 sqft. and 6" walls, flat ceilings, huge bedrooms and kitchen, we couldn't be happier. Our dealer is great to work with and this home shows no sign of cheap construction.

Although the design process and ability to customize was great, the service and craftsmanship was so-so at best. We were living at a friend's house since our old house was in disrepair and unfit for dwellers and were told that it should be completed in 4-8 weeks. Then Hurricane Katrina hit and we were told that Commodore Homes had received the FEMA contract and our house was put on hold with delivery for early January.

When the house arrived in Northern Wisconsin in January it didn't pass inspection due to the wiring and plumbing not being up to code. As the months warmed up multiple cracks and nail holes appeared in the drywall. The wrong appliances were installed. The outside doors were incorrectly installed and were wrong. The roof needed to be replaced 1 year after the house was delivered. The shutters never arrived.

Worst of all, the house was to be placed on a basement. The basement was all ready to go for the originally delivery day in September but we didn't receive the house until January. The basement ended up being covered until the house arrived. The house needed to stay warm so the builders put an oil heater in the basement. Needless to say the house was covered in black soot that we haven't been able to remove. With the house not being up to code, we weren't allowed to move until JUNE!

We are still noticing problems from time to time but have given up. Our 1200 sq foot house ended up costing us almost $200,000 due to all the fixes we had to pay for out of pocket. Our original price quote was around $65,000.

First of all we like the home and the way that the floorplan is plus the xtras that we put into it. There have been problems mainly with who we purchased the home from. If i knew that there was going to be this much problems we would not have purchased this home. Commodore Homes Indiana was doing everything to try and take care of the problems that we have had. The quality of the workmanship could have been o whole lot better. To me it seems that the workers dont take pride in their workmanship skills. Thats what is wrong with workers today NO PRIDE. Getting back to the house even today im still a little mad at how i keep running into bad workmanship and this has been 2 yrs plus.

We've had nothing but trouble with our home. The rafters can be seen through our ceiling. The floor vibrates throughout the house when someone walks. Our heating ducts under the house had openings. Leaving us with 2 huge electric bills before WE got it. The workers of Bruce Swihart are unwilling to do work in a timely fashion and lack the knowledge and will power of doing a good job. It took the drywall guy 3 weeks to finish our house, when we were told it would only take 4 days. This costs us another month of interest on our construction loan, which was $737. Bruce made sure he got his money but didn't make sure we got in our home in a timely fashion. We've had to have our kitchen and utility floor replace due to debris underneath it. We've had two water leaks. The one in the bathroom had to have a 6 x15" drywall replaced. It was going on 3 weeks without our shower, before we decided finished it. These are just a few things that I will caution anyone about before they want to buy one of your homes. I'm seriously thinking about contacting a lawyer for the money lost. And reporting all of this to the BBB!
