Commodore Homes of Pennsylvania

We bought our 08 Commadore Ranchland Country addition from this company in late 07 off of a dealer in Summersville, WV and could not get him to do anything. Since then this man has gone out of business. I turned to the factory hoping to get all of my trim fixed that was cut too short by the factory and the gable between the kitchen and living is the wrong one. Our 5 window seals are bubbled up and the dealer was totally aware of this. I can not get this factory to do anything. They sent two men down and they only had half of the things I sent to them on my list on theirs. They do not stand behind their product AT ALL!!! I hope that everyone reads this!

I purchased a new Commodore Genesis 14 x 80, 3 bedroom, 2 bath single wide back in 1998. Other than normal small repairs that come with any home that you buy I don't really have any complaints. The only problem I had was a faulty toilet right after I purchased the home & the retailer that I bought it from replaced it for free, honoring the warranty & it was done right away. I have lived in my home for 12 years now & had no major problems with my home. I would have to say that I've been rather pleased with it. Reading the other complaints on this site it seems to me that most of the problems stem partly from the "over the road haulers" & the retailers where the homes were purchased. Most generaly the retailers deliver & set up the home & if they've done it poorly, then they are the ones to blame.

Commodore homes of Clarion does not fix anything in a Timely manner.

Would never buy another one. If you have any questions please contact me....My home has been a nightmare. From windows leaking air.I can go through ever room and find numerous things wrong.....

I had bought a lot model from Owl homes of Allegheny NY. This model was on the lot for quite a while because the carpet where was rolled back in the lot at the seam down the middle was completly sun bleached out and carpet had to be replaced throughout the home. This WAS completed by Owl homes. My issues since then have been nuemerous, In less than 2 yrs. I had to replace the roof as well as the sheeting on 1/2 of the home because of MAJOR leaks around skylites. This was bad enough but I was going to remove the cheap sheeting used in the underlayment. I found this to be impossible because it is glued and stappled with a glue that's impossible to remove.... Then it was discovered that the actual roof trusses were made of 2x2's.... Needless to say this is why my roof is sagging in between EVERY load wall in the home. I'm in need of a roof replacememnt in the front of home this year and really not sure how to take care of this. The added weight of the new sheeting cannot be good for the sagging trusses.I'm just upset that although this home is an older home, the way this home was assembled and type of cheap engineering that goes into it is very weak! I'm not sure how some of those people cansleep at night just knowing that this is happening in the field.

We bought our 1997 Commodore Atrium 16x80 mobile home as a reposessed home through a bank, over the internet. Price was $6000. Any problems we had we knew about from the first, except a pipe break after we moved in, and that problem took a $97 item to repair the pipes. (Only complaint I have is the kind of pipes are not the same as a house.)

The previous owners had very large dogs that did damage. Someone had stolen the garden tub from it and the previous owners had a new patio door box under the home but the door was never replaced and was missing. We put laminated floors down but will be changing them in a year or so to hardwood. We put a large shower unit in where the garden tub had been and painted or papered all the rooms. Our kitchen has 6 atrium windows that are 18' long and 84" high. The windows are wonderful. They let in the sun which warms up the island and woods, and I don't use any heat there except the unit under the sink. This home only used $400 last year to heat, electric heat.

We will be putting a new Ondora roof on this year and getting a new patio door next year. The home had a 39' front porch on it and a small 10x14 on the back. The man who moved our home was a dealer and said it was the heaviest home he ever moved. He checked the home out and said it is made as well as a stick home. The book we got from Commodore to set up has a wonderful set up system but we didn't put a foundation under it, we rent this lot. New codes though make you have certain ways to set up and Commodore met those codes.

We paid $6000 for a specialty home and have never regretted it. Thank you Commodore for this wonderful product!!

My wife and I retired aand purchased a Commodore modular house, through a local dealer. I would never ever recommend Commodre or the local dealers in the area for anyone who would want to purchase a modular home. The workmanship is poor. Response to issues which should have been identified at the factory are ignored. I haave sent letters and e-mails to numerous people, but most do not respond back. I am still waiting for a response which I wrote in May of this year.

I would like to have someone to come out and look at the workmanship and the quality. The things we were promised we never got. Our well was to have been inspected before we bought the property but it never was until it was too late. The house was set down to far and vent opennings in the foundation in some cases are below the ground.

Concrete patio was to slope so water would run from the building, but that is not the case.

Our cabinets were loose, nails stuck out above the cabinet molding. Kitchen hood is so low that when I work in the kitchen I bump my head, and at times very hard.

These people care nothing about the product, the client or the quality issues. They take the money and seem to think it is fine.

I was very disappointed in the way my manufactured home was built from the time I got it back in 2002! It was made very hastily and sloppily and I am still trying to fix it it is very cold in here in the winter time and very hot in the summertime!!! I think we need to do a class action suit against these rip offs and get some if not all of our money back!!!! They charge outrageous prices for these pieces of trash that they call homes!!

had many problems since 1995 fixable by myself but now roof is bad to. i up graded my shingles to 30year shingles and paid extra for them. A manufacturing design caused them to go bad ref:4 profesional roofers. made a complaint to the Department Of Manufactured Housing Affairs in Harrisburg Pennsylvainia

I purchased a commodore home just 3 years ago. I would never refer anyone to purchase one of these homes. I am very dissatisfied with the retailer. The entire time I owned my home he has been very uncooperative in any help that I have needed on repairs that were needed on my home. Here is a small list of just some examples of poor craftsmanship in the work done on the home at only 3 years old. Cracked walls, faulty shower faucets (a 2002 part was installed in my 2006 home) Long story short, the shower stopped working just 6 months after I owned the home. The foundation did not pass inspection, and of course, the faulty shower did not pass inspection. The electricity was not hooked up properly so I had to hire an electrician (at $100/hr) to fix the electricity. The electric box failed inspection also. The carpet is sagging so I have to hire someone to re-stretch the carpet (at $50/hr) Just these items added up to $1,000 in repairs. I am so dissatisfied that I would NEVER NEVER advise anyone to purchase a commodore home.

we moved into our shack jan. 9th 2008. if i could i would let the bank forclose on this peice of trash . we paid 182,500 for this joke of a house and i can,t beleive we were so DUMB.theres no way we could sell this house and get any part of our money back. my husband is 83 and i am 73 and you can see how we were taken advatage of. never deal with commodore homes???????????

I was so excited to buy my home. It's supposed to be my retirement home but I don't think it's going to last that long. Right now it's falling apart around us. The ceiling leaked over the stove which ruined the oven. Both bathrooms have totally fallen apart. Right now we don't even have a working toilet. The living room carpet is coming apart where they put the house together. Makes me wonder if one day I'll go home and the house will have split apart. I've never paid $60,000 for a big pile of garbage before and I really wished I hadn't this time. It's the biggest mistake I've ever made and I'm 60 years old so I've made a few. None as bad as buying this house. The house isn't even five years old and it's literally falling apart. I'm not a rich women and I don't have the money to fix everything that is wrong. I wish someone would just burn it to the ground. It's not fit for human living. From all the other complaints, I can tell I probably won't get any kind of satisfaction. I don't have a choice. I have no where else to live. It's pretty bad when you pay $60,000 for a house and you don't even have a functioning bathroom. I wish I had seen all of these reports before I bought the home. What an idiot I am!

i have had my home only 4 years. it is so cold that we had to install a pellet stove to vent out the fire place. we just installed new windows one week ago. this is terrible you pay this much for a brand new home that you have to put more into it to be comfortable.i love the lay out thats why we ordered it. when the people came out to do repairs some of them where useless, they wouldn't do what they were suppose to do and yea i signed there work order because i was tired of dealing with the ones that didn't want to fix things. oh yea they were suppose to take out all the windows and rechaulk them because we felt air. they only did ONE and when the old ones came out NONE OF THE WINDOWS WERE CHAULKED.

This is what happens when a person goes with the cheapest company to build their home! If a customer did a little checking (beyond the bottom line) they would find out that they are buying junk.

I moved to NY in early 1991, and to get adequate housing I looked at manufactured housing. A quiet park was available and I had several dealers to choose from in my area. I purchased a lot model in fall of 1991. After weighing the costs and amenities, the Commodore was a lot more, but looked somewhat better on the lot. It took several months to get delivery to our lot. It went unskirted for almost a year. As a "model" we never got the carpets cleaned or any other cosmetic services performed. Within 3 months of delivery, my home started to literally crack in half. I called many times to the dealer and was always put on the back burner. I needed a shopping list of repairs, and could never get anyone to even look at my problems. I had contacted the BBB dozens of times. I also tried to get my bank to do something, but after everyone got there money, they disappeared.

Now after 16 years it should be condemned. Shingled roof leaks. Skylights leak. Whirlpool tub hasn't worked for 14 years. Furnace quit after 6 months. They had installed a used gun. Windows are horrible, and nothing is remotely square or plumb after numerous levelings. I am looking to vacate soon, as repairs are more than my original cost to purchase. Would I recommend Commodore? Absolutley not!

i just purchased a home from commodore homes thru a dealer named gas light company in newcastle pa. the home was put together pretty bad. very poor craftsmanship.cabinets were all scratched or nicked up pretty bad, sliding door was racked pretty bad,among other issues. they came to fix the problems. just seems they slap these places together with no regards to how its done or looks. i asked the dealer if he was going to unwrap the appliances to check for dents or scratches and he said he doesnt like to do it, and told me to do it myself. all he's interested in is getting his money and not doing a good job.

We have lived in a Commodore home 22 years. We purchased it from a dealer in Richfield Springs, NY. It took them forever to get it in and then they had it sitting on their lot for several more months. Finally after many lawyer trip, calls, etc. it was delivered and set up for us. It wasn't put together correctly. There is a ridge down the middle where the two sections come together. We have completely redone our kitchen and both bathrooms and are now in the process of redoing the living room. As of late we seem to have a leak in the drainage system which seems to come from the washing machine as we have checked all showers, toilets, dishwasher, and sinks in both baths and kitchen. When we do a laundry we have water flooding all over our garage. We are on a slab and it is impossible to find where it is leaking as everything is up under the house and covered with plastic and insulation. We have just requested a drainage plan so we can hopefully find where the leak is. My husband has been under the house several times checking things out but without much crawl space and not seeing any leaks we are at a loss as to what to do next. We feel when anyone buys a home such as this a floor plan of both electricity and drainage should be supplied at the time of purchase. A few years ago we had an electrical problem which never could be solved so my husband had to completely rewire one whole side of the home. Hopefully, the workmenship on these homes has been improved since we bought ours. Sincerely, Ruth Hallenbeck

i also purchased a modular home from commodore homes. their pinecrest model. i think there is very poor craftsmanship coming out of the building facility. most all cabinets are scratched,items under the laminant flooring, sliding glass door not plum and level, trim all scratched up,center island in the kitchen put together very bad and veneer peeling from bottom of it. just a few examples. i understand that someone will be out to fix problems. but when a new home buyer walks through the home and sees so much poor quality work coming right out of the factory it makes you wonder the quality of work put into the rest of the home that you cant see. makes you wonder if you've made the right choice on builders. you would think that they would have an inspector check the place for defects before it was sent out. just shows me that they have poor quality builders that don't care about what they're putting together. you know the first impression is the most important. and the one i got was that they dont care about their craftsmanship at all. they were sent a list of the things that were wrong and a week later they called and came out to the home. most things could be fixed that day but other things need replaced. this could take weeks. very inconveniant to a person.

Ordered my home sight unseen from Florida. Beat the moving truck here by 2 days. My home was completely set up and operating when I got here. The only complaint I have is the ceiling fans they install are the noisiest, worst i have ever heard. Other than that I have not had any problems at all. My home is a 28 x 76 doublewide.

As of this moment I do not have anything nice to say about Commodore Homes. Our home was delivered July 28th, 2008 and set on our foundation July 30th. Due to inferior workmanship inside our house which requires much repair work we are unable to move in. Problems were reported to Commodore on Tuesday, August 5th, and someone is only coming Monday, August 18th, to look at the problems and possibly begin fixing them. This is totally unacceptable! We have had to reschedule painters, tile and hardwood installers, vacation time taken to move in and continue to pay rent to live elsewhere. From day one, we have done everything asked of us by Chesapeake Homes of Grantville and also of Commodore Homes and this is how we get treated in return. If this home would have been manufactured correctly, without sloppy mistakes that should have been seen and repaired before it left the facility, I would be moving in to my new home instead of writing this complaint.
