Our Review

Editor's Rating
Editorial ReviewManis Homes are built to a higher specification and look to be above average modular homes. We were impressed with the few examples we found but their website is a trainweck and very hard for consumers to navigate. They are a smaller operation with many experienced staff members who have been involved with modular homes for many years. We feel very comfortable with Manis Custom Builders and think that modular home buyers should consider them and contact them for more detailed information. Despite frustrating our mystery shopper, their experienced building staff and high specifications make us rate them well.

Personal Reviews of Manis Custom Builders

Kathy Ragins from Castle Hayne NC
Home Headquarters in Wilmington NC answered our call when we had looked at modular homes for approx. a year. David and Butch were awesome during the whole process. I am proud to be a HomeHeadquaters(Manis) homeowner. I thank God for having such a beautiful home and making a lifelong dream come true.

I have to say my experience with Home Headquarters was much better than the Mrs. had. I am curious as to the other side of the story. As for me, I had purchased a directly from Home Headquarters in Wilmington, NC. Everyone from the salesman to the contractors were very nice people. Sure I had some issues, but just because it's new doesn't mean it's perfect. The great thing is Home Headquarters willingness to correct the problems that we had. They wanted to make sure we were happy and they did. I recommend them to any and everyone that wants to buy a modular home.

Madge Matteo from Leland, NC
I was told by the 2nd owner it was built in 2005 but discover after purchase that it was built in 2003 as a model. We have a drought and was unable to inspect the roof. The sellers failed to tell us about the leak. Since our Purchase in October 2007 when it rained we discovered 11 areas that leak. This information was not disclosed to us at sale. Foolishly we thought that Home HeadQuartes (Manis retailer) would stand behind their work because the roof is major. They should have called back the subcontractor to repair the poor job. It is obvious that the roofers had set the air gun to high and blew out pieces of the cheap lumber use for sheathing.

I went under the house because it was very cool in the house. I had to clean up 6 bags of dirt before I could move in there. Than I discovered that the HVAC person never put a filter in the unit which is under the house. Don't ask me why it is there and not in the utility room? The electric socket out back is a 120 but only in the right socket not both sockets, so I now have a burned up motor in my hot tub and need an electrician. I was happy to buy a Manis because I heard they where the best. I guess in this case they should have never sold the model.Under my house insulating where the sill board sits on the block I realized that no inspector would have pass this house if the right Manis or Home Headquarters supervisor would have been at the site.The home has rain gutters in the front but not the back. In general we like the home but can't afford the expense of fixing items that are major and should not need repair in just 4 years. I had hoped Home HeadQuarters or Manis would have stepped up to the plate and fixed the roof but they told us there was no guarantee. I know as a fact that the owner before me complained as did the original owner. Shame on Manis!
