Our Review

Editor's Rating
Editorial ReviewGolden West is a provider of manufactured mobile homes and not custom modular homes. Their mobile homes are good for mobile homes but do not compare with the quality and customization options of the modular homes. If your budget can't afford a custom modular home then Golden West could be a good option for you. They do provide better than average options for manufactured homes. We would recommend that you also look into their upgrade plans.

Personal Reviews of Golden West Homes

Bert H. Cook from Riverbank, CA
We purchased our Golden West Mobile Home in October of 2001 and moved into it on December 1st, 2001. We have loved our home. It is a 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath double wide. We had its exterior done with Hardy Board and have had excellent service. The heating and A/C unit is Intertherm and the kitchen appliances are all GE and have had no problems. We have had some problems with the interior finish of the factory installed toilets(problems with severe, apparently unresolvable staining) and are currently, after 9 years, replacing both toilets. The front deck, installed by the sales companies installers, was cheap Outdoor carpeting glued to untreated marine plywood, rotted out and was replaced with a quality Redwood deck in 2007. We have otherwise had great pride in the quality over-all of our Golden West Mobile Home.

If you are looking for good quality keep looking. We have been in our home for a total of 3 months & things are already breaking. The kitchen cabinets are awful if you have big dinner plates dont plan on putting them wherever you want because they wont fit. The quality of them on a scale from 1-10 i give them a 1. The day we moved in one of the shelves broke the trim was cracked the cabinets were scratched the counter tops crooked & uneven. The bathrooms were the same story. We are still waiting to have them repaired. The paint on the outside of the house has run marks on it. The trim is cheap & already coming off the outside. We researched alot of homes & thought we made a good choice, it has been a nightmare & disappointing. I would'nt recommend this home , it looks nice but the quality is not so great.

I've been in a 1987 triple-wide that I bought shortly after it had been moved to a new wooded parcel in 1994.
The only issue was that the exterior covered entry area was covered with indoor-outdoor carpet over plywood, which eventually rotted thru. A friend replaced it with nice decking. That was at least 4 years ago. I think I'm still on the original dishwasher, to which I recently replaced a door spring.
I've had it leveled twice due to settling. It still has it's original roofing. The cabinets are fine. I think they were refaced once prior to my buying it. After 13 years of living in it we upgraded the counters to corian, ditched the original still functional electric cooktop for an induction cooktop, replaced the original vinyl kitchen floor and will shortly be replacing carpet with laminate. I ripped off the cheesy wallpaper in the kitchen and refinished the walls. I've loved the house since I first bought it even tho there were finishes I eventually wanted to upgrade. I love the textured wall finishes. The house seems to be well built. I've seen inside the walls when we did some upgrades and everything was nice and dry and well built. I bought this when I was in my mid 30s and will be happy if it's the only home I ever own. I've always liked the layout and as i got older, the lack of stairs. The only thing lacking is an entry closet.

Charles Edmunds from Coos Bay ,Oregon
I am appalled by these 3 bad reports ! I bought my home in 1994 (from the Albany Factory). Gee, my Dishwsher broke.

p.s. I am completly satisfied with my home,windows,furness,roof,foundation,and plumbing.I simply cannot understand that a GE dishwasher would wear out in 15 years, haha

debbie from tucson arizona
I OWNED A GOLDEN WEST HOME. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL TO LIVE IN BUT THE CRAWL SPACE WASN'T LARGE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE FOR FIXING. THE PLUMBING WAS SHABBY AND ONE SIDE OF THE HOUSE WAS NOT HOOKED UP TO THE AIR CONDITIONING. I HAVE LEARNED THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR NOW.

ROBIN BEERS from PASO ROBLES
I bought my Golden West in 1990. I hate the aluminum windows. They did come out and fix some of the defects. However after about 2-3 years all my countertops and my cabinets started lifting and falling apart. The company refused to stand behind their product.Many of my neighbors had the same problems. Oh my roof leaked. I would never buy from them again. Their cabinetry construction was horrible.

Terri Eckles from Erhenberg, Arizona
I have nothing but problems with the quality of this home. First house was missing blinds and drawers in master bath. Screen door was non operational. Now Lenolium is cracking and winds are falling out. We have occupied this new home for less then 2 years.
