| Editorial Review | Oakwood Homes has a long and uneven history for providing prefab homes. Several of the builders we spoke with talked about some issues associated with Oakwood Homes. Recently they joined the CMH group which is one of the biggest home builders in the US. Hopefully this will help resolve any lingering issues. Since Oakwood Homes also joined CMH they now have more resources available to them. We would say they are worth a closer but cautious look. |

Personal Reviews of Oakwood Homes
 Jeff from Randleman,NC we bought our home in 2008 and our salesman was great.that was about the best part of the whole experience.from the "construction manager"telling us we didn't need french or other types of drains in our yard "now we standing water everytime it rains" to the rush job HIS cronies did on our house.from the front of the house being uneven along the joining seam to the molding coming apart at the joints.i think it's a shame that after all the money spent it will still cost another 10 grand to get the drainage right in the yard and property.i would buy another modular however we would hire our own contractors and it would be another brand sorry Warren Buffet.  freddy from springfield tennessee we purchased our home 8 years ago. we had so much trouble. first we had to call corp office to get anything done. then when they did it, it was done badly. the doors all hang wrong. the front door is so off I have had to minipulate it to shut and lock. the heating and cooling unit had to be work on a few times, luckily it was under warrenty by manufatuer. the kitchen counters set leaning inward tword the wall. everything rolls back if you set something that moves. the floors and not even. It's a piece of crap. plus when they deliverd it, they left it uncovered in half exposed to the elements and it rained. I am still trying to get something done about the doors.  marshall harless from christiansburg va I could not get anyone to honor the warranties on the house on products inside of the house.  Cindy from Greensboro, NC I have been very stressed since we bought our home in 1993. If I had it to do over again I would not have done it. The quality of workmanship is sad. I have had one trouble after another. I only wish Oakwood would follow up and do some justice for the people that has had trouble. I am tired of worrying and being stressed about what will break next.  Barbara Waters/Michele Bullock from Maryville,TN I would not even give 1 star but that was the lowest option. I am very unsatified with my mobile home. I purchased my home in 2000 and little did I know that the rafters are rotted from where the pitched roof over front door (no drip strips were put down in that area)caused the rain to run down to side and leaked into rafters. Little did we know that it had been leaking for a long time and by then Vanderbilt had purchased the mortage. I tried to claim this on my insurance but they do not cover manufacturer defalt!!! It has been 8 years since purchase and my roof still leaks and rafters are still rotted. Do you think anyone would own up to this problem? of course not!!!! You would think that someone would fix it considering the roof has a 10 year warranty. Do not buy a Oakwood home- their homes do not hold they quality that they should.
