Our Review |
| Editor's Rating |
|
| Editorial Review | Horton Homes seems to focus on manufactured mobile homes. They also build a few models of modular homes but their quality is closer to mobile homes than it is to traditional stick-built homes. We are not fans of Horton modular homes. They do a good job with mobile homes but their modular offering just does not compare with other manufacturers. And don't forget good quality modular homes are a smarter long-term financial investment than mobile homes. |

Personal Reviews of Horton Homes
 Diane Nelson from Ocala, FL I purchase a Two story Cape Cod Modular Horton Home. I disagree with this review. I looked at many modular homes and found that Horton offered a very solid home and it was the most home I could get for the price. Most Modular two story homes are priced 50,000- 70,000 higher then Horton. Yes they may not have as many bells and whistles but these homes have more solid features. I was not worried about having the glass see through cabinets or the fancy Hutches in my home. I purchase my home with the upgraded Oak cabinets and they are solid wood and I can not see how they could ever peel, like Mrs Price stated. I know that in lower priced homes they had std cabinets and they were not a solid wood. Maybe that is what Mrs Price had. I would give Horton 10+ stars if I could along with the dealer P.C. Home Center.
Also what things I found wrong in my home was properly repaired my Horton service.  Helen Price from Kathleen, GA I purchase a home from St Clair Onconee in Warner Robins,GA. Was not going to except it because of the workmanship and other problems I saw, cabinet door dont close and shut properly.Shabby workmanship. But I was promised it would be fixed by Mike Carr and His female assistant. I had to repeatly call to get to come out for one day. Nothing was totally fixed only half ****. It will be 3 yrs old 25th November. The cabinet are pealing, the trim above the kitchen cabinet is coming apart.Alle the faucet (sinks and stools) have leaked since the first 6 months. The strips on the wall are breaking in to. Trim on the walls is coming off. The French Doors on the back have leaked since day one. They said it was because of no gutters. Why do the windows and other doors not leak then. DUD You would think it was 20 yrs okd. The carpet they had to replace is coming apart. Horton Home use to be the Top of The Line. Today Hortom Home Rates in my book at the bottom. Would I recommend one to a friend, family or person on the street. NO. I was lied to people you have hired to sell your Homes. 90% of the problems in this home goes back to the plant it was made. Workmanship there, they need to fire the person responsible for checking these homes before the leave the plant and passing them. I should have never believed the people and returned this home.A mistake I have to suffer from. But I promise you I will not recommend Horton Homes to anyone from the treatment I have received. Dont tell me I should have contacted you. They told me no not too they would take care of the problems. They took care of them ok, they swept them under the rug.Rating for Horton Homes. Minus (-) 10 Stars.
Thank You Mary H Price
