Fairmont Homes

We brought our home in 1996 at a Fairmont show. We got a lot of upgrades to our home. BUT, it still now perfect.The cabinet door color which are acutal wood doesmatch colorwise with cabinets and cabinets are particle board. We paid for "oak package" trim, whick is pine stained to look oak. All interior doors are not standard size, must custome order each one. Including exterior. We have replaced all windows with energy star.We would definitely think twice about this home. We have to much money invested now. Can't move!!!!! Would not recommend this home to anyone. Also had roof replaced.

I am a builder of Fairmont Homes, Even though they do not build a "Perfect Home", in my opinion they build one of the best values in homes today. After I get done with the home, I do not have any additional problems. Fairmont has ALWAYS stood behind any problem that I have had that was unusual. I, the builder, fixed all of the others. The name of my business is Wonderful World of Homes, please check on the internet, there are no complaints on my homes tha I am aware about. I am the largest buildr of Fairmont Homes in Illinois and I am a proud builder of Fairmont Homes.

Well, we also thought we bought the best at the time. (1999, 1700 square foot, foxwood ranch, paid 126,000 for home,lot,and garage).Have had trouble with the furnace, the joists,the ceilings, uneven flooring, electrical problems in the kitchen,poor woodwork, poor insulation, (even though we thought we paid for upgraded insulation), poor windows (need to have ALL of them replaced including the sliding doors) and glass face cabinets in the kitchen are poorly placed and many have broken. Had to have new roof put on due to poor roofing assembly. Also, we were missing vents in the bathroom, which made our first few months of living in our new house very unpleasant. Part of our problem was dishonest sales associates who sold us our home and promised us we would have this and that, and we got nothing that we paid for. Fairmont was unsympathetic when we called and complained about sales practices of their salesman.(Thank God the salesman and his associates are out of business now.) We also had very poor installation of the home, which caused even more problems. All around it was a poor decision on our part to get this manufactured home at the time. We have been fixing our house slowly and constantly since we have moved in. Poor product for the money we spent.
On a positive note, for the past few years,we have been emailing Kris regarding parts needed to fix our house, and she has been patient and knowledgable. Unfortunately for Fairmont, we decided to use local hardware stores for our fix-it projects, due to their better warranties. Please get better products/service/warranties, and maybe more people would choose you. Thanks

We are currently building our second Fairmont home. The first was a 27x40 that we used as a summer cottage. After 3 years we decided to retire in Northern Michigan and needed a larger home. Naturally, Fairmont was the choice. While neither home is the "up-scale" luxury home we are leaving in Louisiana, the cottage was a solid, energy efficient home that never seemed cold, even in the dead of winter. We have great expectations from our new home and so far, the quality, the economy and the setup have been as expected. Will report after completion about "service after the sale" but with the first home, 3 years into it, the dealer is still a friend and we bought the second home from Bob's Modern Homes knowing our treatment will be the same friendly, reliable service we've had all along. Thanks Fairmont for making retirement a bit easier :)

In 1988 bought a new 14x70 3 bedroom fairmont, had a problem with screen falling out of front door. Other wise this has been my good solid home for over twenty years and I thank God for it. Only cost 14,900, and is still in excellent shape because it has been taken care of and is a very good home.

My late husband and I purchased a 1992 fairmont 14x70 and had many problems with the workmanship from the beginning. If I had it to do over I would not purchase a Fairmont mobile home of any kind.

Stay away from Fairmont Homes - We purchased a 30 by 80 home from them for our retirement home three years ago. Nothing but trouble and no concern from the manufacturer or the sales location in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Just spent almost $10,000.00 repairing and replacing cracked drywall, cracked ceiling, bad woodwork, creaking floors, and on and on the list goes. As I said, no concern from the manufacturer or the sales people. Lots of promises up front which were broken immediately after we took possession of the house. Only a one year warranty which the location in Eau Claire was very difficult to deal with to get repairs. Once the one year is over forget it. Bad - bad - bad..........

Would say -5 stars if it was available. Was to be moved in by Nov. Still not moved in due to factory building a damaged home. Bent steel on Framework, bulges, siding falling off, shingles flying off, cracks, and 6 pages of typed out problems that need fixed. It's now April.

I bought the best, at the time, 24x64 30 years ago. Lack of insulation in the attic has caused roof dams and ceiling leaks since new, fittings not tight sprayed water on the floors from under the house! Bathtub has dropped 6 inches! Floors all patched, etc. If the health dept came out they would condemn the place, I'm retired and can't afford to move! Just simply poor construction, Alumimum wire, 2x4 roof beams etc. Big mistake when I purchased it!

i am having a lot of trouble with my fairmont homes open joist system they weak uneven and even upside down are you getting any similar complaints

Had some of your reps. from Fairmont homes come to my new home to do a 5 star energy effiency test they(John)said he would mail me the results from the test.Also I'm having problems with my flex water lines and the elbow fitting or connections.Please get back to me reguarding these two issues.THANK YOU RON W.
