| Editor's Rating |

| Editorial Review | Four Seasons Housing is a mystery to us. We visited their website several times and it was often broken. When the website was working we found it to have very limited information. Then we started to speak with builders that deal with Four Seasons Housing and they gave us a positive impression but also mentioned that other modular providers can be easier to deal with (which our mystery shopper strongly agrees with). They do have some acceptable floorplans but it is hard for us to feel comfortable with Four Seasons Housing after they display such poor customer service. We would suggest that you look around for another modular home manufacturer. |

Personal Reviews of Four Seasons Housing
 Lori from Linden, Iowa We purchased this manufactured piece of garbage 2 years ago and have had nothing but problems. We had to wait for four seasons to come out and repair and replace over 2 pages of broken, damaged, missing, leaking, cracking things for 13 months. When they came they didnt have the correct parts and the parts they did bring were damaged or in worse condition than what we had. They told us they would have to return with the rest of our items and with the correct tools in a couple of weeks. Needless to say they never showed and finally after several attempts to get someone to call us with a time to finish the repairs we were told they were going out of business. So here we sit with 2 pages of warranty work still needing to be done. The house is still cracking and the roof is leaking, we spend around $3000. in gas to heat because the duct work is cheap and has not been routed properly and needs to be replaced. All the countertops are pulling away from the outside walls and all the cubboards have cold air blowing in them. The fireplace is not what we ordered by any means this is for decoration not for heat and it is marked that way. We cant use it because it sends smoke back in house and sets all the fire alarms off. They replaced our back door with another broken and leaking door so we had to go and purchase and install a real door. The windows all leak cold air and we have to cover with plastic. We contacted Kinro windows regarding their windows and sliding patio door and they informed us after coming and looking at them that they were installed wrong by four seasons and that is why they leak blowing cold air and the patio door it flex's when the wind is blowing and leaks cold air as well they blamed four seasons. We paid extra for the upgrades on insulation and windows and also the flooring. I would not recommend or use Kinro windows they are a piece of junk and cheap! There are so many things wrong here that we are now looking at selling it!! Beware of four seasons and kinro windows. Just a note to Susan Grogan from Laurie Mo, I am glad you are so impressed please contact me I have a four seasons home you can sell !!  Ray from Greenville, IN We bought this 1997 model Four Seasons Home 3 years ago and find it to be more sound than most if not all of the lot constructed homes I have lived in over the past 65 years. I added a concrete front porch to give a look of Permanence. We love it.  Francis Critney from Columbus,Indiana Dear Sirs I bought my home in 2002 and must admit this is the worst investment I have ever made ! I paid extra for your best carpet padding and carpet,the great room had to be changed 4 vtimes.When I had lamiante flooring installed the contractor laughed at the quality of both pad and carpet. I have had to put on a new roof already and now I find that the drywall on the ceilings is falling down! To my surprise ,no nails ,or screws holding the dry wall up!!!!!Glue covers the ceiling joist and over about 2" either side. I paid over $75,000 for this house and it is not worth $35,000. I have never seen such shoddy construction,that includes the on site crew. Oh yes,i had to reside the home too! Now I see that my windows are guing to !!!! I pray for a tornado to hit my home. I could never recomend your company ! Just in case you want to know where I bought this "wonderful"home they are closed now,but they were Taylorsville Homes Supercenter Inc..Mr.David ESKILSON  Judi Anderson from WV We bought our home about 3 yrs ago and have had nothing but problems. We have had to replace the hot water tank, dishwasher, kitchen sinks, and the shower is next. Will not buy another one of these homes.  Jason from Wisconsin I purchased a Four Seasons Home in 1998 in northern Wisconsin. I am very pleased with the quality of this house, and I have only had minor problems. One of the windows did leak after two years and the skylight in the bathroom also had to be replaced after five years. Other than that this house has been a wonderful home for my family.  Rex from Pedro, Ohio I bought a 1998 autumn manor series 16x80 in 1999 new and was told it was the best single wide built...as soon as the warranty ran out on my carefree vinyl windows the gas leaked and it cost 2,000 to have them resealed...I have a skylite in each bathroom which are being replaced because of leaking and my shingle roof was finished in a different color on about the last 15 feet of my home..I guess they ran out....also I have a gust of cold air that comes from under the lavatory in the bathroom in the winter....I have tried everything but nothing helps....I guess it was half finished also as long as it looked good.  Wayne Bentley from Fayette, IA We have had nothing but problems with this house we have.  Kay from Minnesota I would not consider this a home, it is always referred to as a house. Our floors are heaving in some area's and our kitchen is sinking. The cabinets (after being replaced because cheap one's were sent instead of the raised oak that we ordered) are pulling away from the walls because the center of the house is sinking. We have no air return system even though it was ordered. I do believe they converted a manufactured house into a modular one. Everything was wrong from day one. I need more space. Would never recommend Four Seasons Housing.  LaRue Nulph from Mercer PA We purchased our home in September 1996 from Riverview Homes in Apollo PA. Randy Bollinger was our salesman and we have been very satisfied with the home. The way my husband set it up, no one knows it is a double wide. We live in a private community and our home looks ecvery bit as nice as the stick built homes in the same size category. I am having a problem finding a new range hood (because of the size) and I want one that is fully enclosed.  Kim from Mississippi Admiration Builders, and Four seasons housing. We purchased a home here in the gulf port area that was a admiration home. This while it had some problems have been covered by the manufacture and is now a beautiful home for our family. Thank you.  Deborah Gabel from Biloxi, MS We purchased and paid cash for a Four Seasons Home throught Morgan Hunter Homes and a local real easte company. It has been 8 months and the house still cannot be lived in. There are 3 broken floor support beams, the siding (LP) is buckeling, the foundation was not done properly,the interior walls continue to crack as the house sits there.
PS: John Carricate the Sales Manager for Four Seasons is the individual that actually handled the sale of the house with his brother Lou, who formed Morgan Hunter Homes.
We would never buy and wish we would have never bought this house.  Susan Grogan from Laurie Mo. I am not a Customer, I sell Manufactured and Modular Homes. We recently started selling Four Season Homes, and I just wanted to say, I am really impressed with the homes. I come from a construction background, so I am pretty familiar with the way a home is built. So I can honestly say, I think Four Season Homes are truely a great investment. If you want true quality and great follow up, choose Four Seasons. And stop by and see me at Ozark Homes in Laurie Mo.
