Our Review

Editor's Rating
Editorial ReviewKarsten homes are average providers of manufactured mobile homes. They claim to overbuild their homes for higher strength but we don't feel after the mobile home moves at highway speeds that its strength is better than a stick-built home. They also provide a small amount of modular homes but these homes do not greatly appeal to us. Our mystery shopper had a hard time finding answers on their website. You might want to compare them with other modular manufacturers before making a final decision. We have a hard time to find reasons to be confident about their offerings.
