| Editorial Review | Hart Housing makes above average manufactured mobile homes. Their modular offering unfortunately appears to just be a glorified mobile home. The customization options are very limited and our mystery shopper reported having trouble receiving home buyers information from them. If you have a smaller budget this might be a good option. We do not feel very comfortable with their modular homes. Hopefully they will improve over time. |

Personal Reviews of Hart Housing Group
 Patsy from Woodbury, TN We moved into our 1999 Model 2012 in October '98 and have been rather pleased with it's quality except for the windows. Four of them are too big and have messed up. We just recently replaced our washing machine. Not bad for 12 years old. The glue bled through in the kitchen linoleum. We had it replaced several years ago at our own expense of course. We have replaced all the four big windows and the two over the kitchen sink. We have felt this is not bad as all housing is going to go wrong in one way or the other at times.  Megan from St. Louis, MO Bought our home in 1998. Overall, I love my home and the fact that many of it's features are not "mobile-home-like". For this reason, I would be happy to retire in this home. With that said however, I am surprised to find myself in agreement with previous posters, as there is obviously a pattern of a couple issues. #1, yes, several of the tilt-in window latches broke, within only months. Hart did send replacement latches however, so I cannot complain there. #2(and most notable to me), is that we too found our roof shingles to be crumbling/curling within only five years. I was appalled to find Hart advertising a 30yr warranted shingle, with no apparent intention of honoring that claim. Within only 6 years, we had the $4200 expense of replacing our roof, and the subsequent damage then caused by resulting leak around one of our skylights. Again, most of my home's features, I am very happy with. Many "standard" features are often "upgrades" with other manufacturers. I would just caution the potential buyer to either opt to build-in a subcontractor for your roof, OR, ensure warranty/contact info with the shingle supplier before purchase.  shelly from northern michigan We've had our home since 98. Should have listened to my family saying "no don't do it !" The duct work has fallen off under the house several times, naturally in the dead of winter, the "better quality windows" are junk, they leak & the springs break causing them to fall down. The shingles have crumbled & curled up. Apparently there is no insulation in the walls as there is ice on the inside of the closets & bedroom walls! I can only hope this company goes out of business & all of their executives suffer absolute financial ruin & freeze their butts off during such suffering. Do Not Give This Company Your Business.  Eva McClain from Burnettsville,In 47926 I am pleased with my home, have lived in it since 2001. Model #2039. The windows fell apart before a year was up and I can not reach the manufacture, they changed phone numbers. The seller went out of business. The shingles are crumbling, other than that it is a good home.  v lowhorn from TN I agree that the windows are crappy. We've been in ours since 2001, model 2012. I've been trying for years to get new windows. Within a year the spring mechanisms broke and near crushed my sons hand. All the windows have done this. We had to revert to holding them up with stakes. Hart is no help. I've tried to get info on them but nothing. Also our ceilings started crumbling within a year too. The mud just crumbled and fell, it's done this in every room. I am not a happy camper! My next step is the BBB. I'm tired of getting the run around. Hart needs to give us the answers we need and fix our problems.  Jim Rooks from Scranton, KS. 66537 Heve been in our model #4014 since 1999. We are pretty well pleased with our home, just some minor issues. Have weathered some pretty severe storms and came out fine. We set it on walk out basement and have finished the basement and at this time are pleased with everything. Our utility bills average about $150/mo. with the cold winters and hot summers we have here in KS. The only real issue I have is with the windows. The springs have gone bad and the supplier does not exist anymore and I haven't been abel to get through to Hart for an explanation. I could really use some help with this. The rest of the house is fine and I would purchase a hart again, just not from the dealer I went through. Thanks, Jim Rooks  Gabriella McFall from Exeter Mo We love our home. Have lived in it since 2001. Model 2023. Very easy to heat.The only thing I can see I would have liked to have would be a larger utility room. Minor thing. Last year we had a very large ice storm. We were able to heat home for 3 days with wood in the fire place as the only heat source. We were comfortable.Can not say enough good things. Thanks for the great home... Gabriella McFall
