| Editorial Review | Homeway Homes has some very nice looking modular home designs. Their building specifications are average for the industry. We really liked seeing their focus on energy efficiency since the Midwest can have some cold winters. This would be a good modular home manufacturer for mid range home buyers. We are not yet sure they can provide the high end customization that upper scale homes need. If you are nearby you should tour their modular home factory to find out more for yourself and see if they are a good match for your situation. |

Personal Reviews of Homeway Homes
 John Boehler from Girard Everyone that we worked with during the home buying project and the house placement, were very pleasant and nice to work with. There's a problem with the placement of the flooring. We were told that it was put in wrong and would be fixed to our liking. The house went up in Sep. we are still waiting on the floor to be fixed correctly. The warrenty guy did come out and say that the flooring guys would have to come look at it. We still have yet to see them. The overall quality of the home is nice and good quality.  Dr John Martin from Trivoli IL After 7 months of living in our house we still love it but have experienced minor issues, none related to the home being a modular though. They are pretty slow on the warranty, our merrilack cabinet knobs (installed by homeway) began falling off, they sent us the wrong size replacement screws. A switch went bad on the master bath, both mstr bath sinks knobs fell off our moen faucets. The warranty guy tried to adjust them, then told us to order new ones and install them ourselves. The dual water heaters connected to our geo thermal weren't working right, and it took them 6 months to figure they were labelled wrong on our circuit breaker. We have been waiting two months for July (that is his name) to come back out and fix some of these minor issues. We also did not get a lawn this year, homeway had the constrcution crew working on new projects and ignoring us for over a month before we could get them to do the final grade. I began calling to get the grade done in mid march, and they kept rescheduling until mid April. At that point I put in a great professional seed I had worked with. The ditch where I just threw down seed in March and never touched again is great, but my entire 3/4 acre yard was put in a month late and I spent $200 in water bill, $50 in fertilizer and it still died out. The short of it, they are amazing while you are planning, and while they are building, but you start to get ignored afterwards.  John Martin from Trivoli il We came up with a design of our own where each set of rooms fit within their 16x72 foot parameters. We had a stick builder go over the plans as well. We were much happier with homeways interpretation of our plans and went with them. I like the quality (moen etc.) of their base level fixtures. We are building a 7 module 4,000 sq ft home with a 2000 sq foot unfinished walkout basement on 40 acres. Came out to about $113 a sq ft but we have over a 1000 sq foot of unfinished space on the second floor, which will bring the final sq footage price down. The hard foam was a big draw since we live on a farm and I wanted air tight. I looked into ICF, which is supposed to cost 3% above standard and the contractors bid 50% higher than homeway and local stick builders. So Homeway was the best way to get a airtight home that was energy efficient.  Roy Grimm from Quincy il. Excellent quality for the money!
