| Editorial Review | Giles Industries is a provider of manufactured mobile homes. This family owned company is building good quality mobile homes but they are still mobile homes and will not blend will in a neighborhood of stick-built homes. Even though they do not provide customization they have raised the quality of their standard models which allows them to mass produce better quality mobile homes. They are one of the better producers of mobile homes and even have some models with over 2000 square feet. |

Personal Reviews of Giles Industries
 Roger & Penny Griffith from georgetown ohio We have made a list of things that need fixed and ByPass homes in Flemingsburge KY is slowly working on fixing them. There are a lot of little things that we have requested fixed and there are a couple MAJOR items ( The roof needs replaced and the back door leaks ) that we are waiting for them to fix. We are up in the air at this point as how to rate Giles and ByPass but so far they are communicating with us on the problems and fixing some of them. The major problems are our concern at this time of course. We feel that they will take care of them. If they FIX all of these items then we will be extremely happy with our purchase. If we have to fight to get things fixed BEFORE winter really hits then we will not be so happy. I hope to have more details on how things go but I hope it is all possitive. My wifes sister and her husband want to buy one and put it next to ours but they are waiting to see how we do in gettings everything taken care of satisfactory. More to come on our situation positive or negitive.  Sheila Hensley from Mt Sterling KY The mobile home sales did not give us the home we bought it was also badly damaged and we are yet to get many of the repairs made to our home. Nothing seems to work in it and we even have a leak around our patio doors, the trailer sales will not come out and fix the problems nor will the manufacture.  Edward C. Hodges from Lexington, Kentucky We purchased a Giles doublewide home for my in-laws about 6 years ago. My wife and I now live in the home after the in-laws passing. Recently while adding a porch rood to the front of the home I discovered that the house is very poorly constrcuted. There is no sheating on the exterior walls which is why the exterior vinyl siding has such a wavy appearance. I have had a leak in the rood which I recently undertook to repair. Whatever roof sheating is beneath the shingles is very poor quality and has already begun to disintegrate presumably due to the heat. The rafters are 2x4's 24 inches on center. I would be very afraid to get on the roof and can't imagine how we will be able to re-roof when necessary which will be soon. Overall, I would give Giles a failing grade.  LeAnn from Big Stone Gap, VA I purchased a giles sectional home three years ago and I am delighted. I love my home. The features and energy efficiency of this home makes it a joy to live in. I have never had any complaints.  Jane Gibbs from Corryton, TN Love,love,love my new Giles home. Great floor plan. Best investment I ever made.  Mae Simpson from middlesboro kentucky I thought i had found my dream home. It ws sopposed to have been built new but when it arrived i cried and am now sick dailey because i have to live with this messede up home. from what i have been told everyhome to almost all homes sold are messed up and have to be majorly repaired and this takes months maybe longer and still dont get satisfaction. my ceilings are messed up, my walls are a disaster being patched up, the cabinets is a piece of junk falling apart. my house was filthy upon arrival,walls and floors also doors and walls have to be replaced. the siding is all messed up, Endless to say i would never ever recommend a Giles home to anyone they are cheaply made and you dont get a good looking wuality home for what you pay. Watch the dealers too.  Douglas Fitch from Concord, Va I love my home, the floorplan is exactly what I wanted in a home. I have been having alot of trouble with the floors in the home, tubs, commodes cracking. The floors are giving away from under your feet. I have a place in my floor in the living room that if you step in that one spot you will fall completely through. I have contacted Giles several times regarding these issues, but have yet to receive a call back from them. My home was a special order in 2007.  samona parks from west virgina I bought my 16x80 tralior from quality homes in summersville,Giles is who built it though i lived in my house 8 months got my first leak my roof and also water would run down 2 windows in my living room it sucked i would call a the did was give me the run around,well they fixed my windows they dont leak anymore but my roof still does when it rains i have lived in my house for only 3 years,i love my house i would just like to have a new roof put on and be done with it i think i have been done dirty my daughter has bad allergies and i think i might mold in my walls i am a single mother it hard at times i cant afford to put a new roof on i just would like them to do the right thing....  Michael Lease from United States I bought my Giles mobile for a summer house at Lake Cumberland, Kentucky. When I recently replaced the factory windows with double insulated vinyl, I found there was no vapor barrier. It has the metal siding, pink insulation and then wall board!! I cannot get the engineer at Giles to call me back. The dealer said I did not need a vapor barrier? In colder weather with the furnace on moisture will show up on the walls in the master bedroom closet.  Mary Michael from S.W Virginia First off let me say ,Jerry's homes at Atkins,Virgina is a great place to buy a home from.They are always with you if you need them.Now ,the homes they carry are lovely and very well constructed.My daughter and I looked for a home like the one we brought from Jerry and Kelly for over eight years and now we are so happy in our new Giles Home.  Ashley from NC If you are thinking of buying from Giles Industries, PLEASE RETHINK YOUR DECISION. Our home arrived March 2006 and thus began the problems. Several things were fixed including roof shingles, a roof leak, plumbing work on the shower and hot tub of master bathroom, and NOW a slow water leak (in the 2nd bathroom, that we never use) that has rotted out the bottom of a the connecting wallboard. From the looks of the mold, this slow leak has been occuring SINCE March 2006. Their plumber needs an education on how to tighten things properly, as the slow leak could have easily been remedied by ensuring things were properly tightened.  Chuck Style from Deep Gap NC First off I would give them a - 5 star rating. I WAS very happy with my Giles home I purchased in March of 2007 until...... WATER LEAKS. I had a roof leak that was "FIXED" in July of 07 and numerous plumbing leaks. Heck the first night I spent there I had to use my secound shower. Turns out they hadnt even hooked the hot water line up going to my master shower! Then I finally had to get my lawyer to write a letter to Giles to get my "UNDER WARRANTY" leaks fixed. Now January 09 I find out that my roof leak that was "FIXED" has now ruined nearly a whole bedroom. If you are going to purchase a manufactured home and expect a good "FINISHED PRODUCT" not just something that looks ok on the outside..... I wouldnt recommend a Giles manufactured home.  leroy muse from rose hill virginia me and my wife are enjoying our new home but we have a problem with the shingles. they are leaking and i cant get them to stop and i am afraid they are going to rot out the back wall
