Our Review

Editor's Rating
Editorial ReviewFranklin Homes is a producer of manufactured mobile homes and modular homes. They are migrating their business towards the modular home marketplace and have made significant progress in improving their offerings. This is a good option for mid range and entry level home buyers. We would recommend that you give Franklin Homes a closer look if you are in their service area. We expect them to continue to get better over time.

Personal Reviews of Franklin Homes

Helen Crawford from Benton, MS 39039
Relocating to back to Ms. we began to research options for manufactured housing. Looked "closely" at Franklin. Have not been sorry we went with them. Our home is great. Almost soundproof in a thunderstorm. Naturally, upon settling in we had the usual small details that needed attention. Our customer service was great, prompt, personnel were attentive, all in all it was a good experience. Have to throw in a shout also for our dealer, Heritage Homes of Canton, MS. Experience for me has been better than a site built home. We ran the range of 250,000+ in our site built homes. For the money you cannot ask for a better buy.

Kitty from Tennessee
I have a franklin home and abousoultly love it. I have been in several other mobile homes and none of them look as good as mine. I highly recommend.

Donnie Weimorts from Duson, LA
Air conditioner was 4 ton unit, but the ducts were for a 24,000 btu. Franklin said air conditioner was oversized. The furnace is a 54,000 btu. You be the judge.

brian wiley from Houma
My home is not worth what I had to pay for it. They told me it is the best built modular home on the market, but I'm beginning to see that is not true. Too late I guess.

mrs joseph from florida
I happen to like my franklin home. Its very comfortable. The design could have been better. I have a developers series which does not have a backdoor. It has a front and side door. Its still a great home. It holds temperature well which saves on heating/cooling cost. Overall, the home is good
