Patriot Homes

We recently bought one of their homes. It must have been the last or one of the last homes they built beofre going under. This is what I call Motel Construction - junk. They went out of bussiness before I could doing anything about. The house went out of warranty just like that. I would never recommend this company to tie my shoes.

I must be one of the lucky ones. I purchased a Victorian Home from Patriot in 2003. The purchase and set up went well. I have no complaints about the construction of the home. In fact it seems to be very well built. My only complaint is the so called "Factory Trained" service technician that installed an add-on sky light couldn't seem to get it to stop leaking or fix the ceiling right after it leaked. The sales/service manager was very kind and finally hired someone to make it right. No complaints since.

By far one of the worst homes you can buy. Bought 2006 when I retired from the military. Delivered late due to the frame being damaged but would not explain what was wrong. Plumbing was hooked up backwards (hot to cold, cold to hot) and was not completed. When water was turned on there was an open 1 inch line to nowhere and flooded basement. Had to fix several leaks in the CPVC lines myself over the last 3 years. Shingles put on poorly. All electric home and not enough breakers in the panel. (Was told that was standard panel.) Ceiling in kitchen began to have gaps after 2 years, and counter tops pulled 3/4 inch from the walls. Bathroom stucco began to fall from ceilings. At one time this was a good company, but was told from their own department that they had a big turn over in 2006 because they did not pay enough to the workers and hire people with little experience to save money. (The good workers that used to do the plumbing, construction ect had went to another plant. If they want to sell me another one, I'll buy if its 1/10 the dealer price and fix it myself to be a quality home. If your going to buy one, buy it at their bankrupcy sale and get it for pennies on the dollar and it would be worth it then, otherwise stay clear of this company. They didn't have a 0 star rating, so I had to give it a 1 star.

I agree with most of this panel. The house when it arrives is built like a TANK, however the service of Patriot stinks like no other. I would rank Patriot when it arrived a 9, but after contacting so-called customer service 5-6 times, I finally had to file a complaint with the Better Buisiness Bureua. I actually had to contact Mac Carr in charge of repairs, AT HIS HOME. He would not return my calls, and when I called him at home he sounded scared! Like I said, I would rate the home when it got here a 9, but after the terrible service, I can't do anything but rate them a 1. By the way, my wife and I bought one of their most expensive homes, a triple wide valued @ $95,000.

apparently a crooked dealer. i concur. well built with cheap materials, and the worst follow up and service network in the history of mankind, my opinion.

0 stars. Patriot shut our plant in Hamilton, Alabama with a 30 minute notice. No vacation pay, severance pay, etc.

my father signed my contract to purchase a 2008 Patriot model which took 12 weeks for setup with no special requests and already sitting on a lot in Batesville. Since it has arrived we have had our roof leak and our walls ruined fron the water. We have our tubs leaking all over the bathrooms. The kitchen counter is warped, 3 of the 6 main windows in the house are broken and we have made a formal complaint that is 6 pages long of all the issues. Why is it that now I have no warrenty, when we have paid so much for this house to arrive with a piece of mind and no damage. We also have requested they come get this home and refund our money or replace it or pay the thing off with the bank. I feel like I have been cheated, yet the Bankruptcy court finds it acceptable for us to suffer....This company sucks and I hate my 1st home.

We bought our manufactured home from Grand Traverse Homes in Traverse City, Michigan in 2003. It is a Crystal Valley home. I have absolutely no complaints about our house. It stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The one thing that I will say, however, is that the crown moulding is coming apart from the ceiling and the ceiling paint (stucco) over the master bathroom shower has bubbled and is beginning to peel off in large sections. These things are minor details to me. As far as some of the other buyers' opinions go, it sounds like the subcontractors that were hired to "finish" the job were the ones to blame. The actual construction of the homes is fantastic. I have recommended these homes and will continue to recommend them to all of my friends, family, and anyone that asks. Thanks, Patriot Homes, for making our first house a place to call home!

Another HUGE ZERO STARS!!! Patriot's Dealer, Pat Kennedy of Sheraton Homes in Greenville Texas, colluded with Wells Fargo Loan officer, John Jackson, to defraud my husband and me of our $150,000 "construction loan" money. Yep, they took the money but never ordered our house. I appealed to Patriot Homes attorney, Steve Like, and to Sam Weidner, repeatedly, for help and feed back. Neither ever even bothered to respond much less help my husband and me. Kennedy is now out of business. We sued Kennedy, her employee Kerry Sheehan, Wells Fargo, and Patriot Homes, in July 2007. We got judgment against Kennedy and Sheehan. Patriot Homes appears to have declared bankruptcy, in part, to avoid our lawsuit. This is a HORRIBLE company who supports and assists their crooked dealers rather than taking care of the people who fill their coffers, people like my husband and me. My only sorrow at their bankruptcy is that they still owe us $$$$$$$$$$$$$ which at this point I fear we will never see. However, criminal charges are still pending and we are considering other civil solutions. NEVER NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM ANYONE WHO REPRESENTS PATRIOT HOMES. The people are vipers.

I bought a Patriot in late 2004. The home itself is fair construction for a manufactured home. The home arrived at the dealer, with one whole sides flooring done in ceramic tile, instead of just the kitchen. The rest of my experience has been like Tracie from Texas. The seller/set-up contractor's (Rollin Homes) people were disastrous. Mine was ordered with taped and floated sheet-rock walls. When it arrived at the dealer, there wasn't a crack in a single wall. By the time the installation gorillas finished, there were "shattered" walls. The interior finishers were horrible. The "factory" sent people five times. Three to repair broken counter tops. And the tops are horrible. A 3yr old could do better. The home was "set-up" the week after Christmas, 2004. My wife and I finally gave up and moved in around the end of April, 2005! By the way, you can get a lawyer, but all you can do is go to Federal Interstate Commerce Commission Arbitration! You can't sue them!!!! Read your fine print. The dealer "whammied" me with that little document the day the home arrived! It was not mentioned before, for obvious reasons. My only choices were to sign the agreement or forfeit my $10,000 down payment! Patriot's web-site doesn't work any longer. I hope they went belly-up!

We bought a Crytal Valley in 2000 and have had orange/brown spots appear on the carpet and on the ceilings. I know of 1 other person that bought a Crytal Valley in 2000 that is having the same issues and I am looking for more people.

I have very unhappy with our home and service, the roof has leaked since we got it in which we have replaced it ourselves, replaced doors and next is windows and duct board is falling apart and all floors are weak .

We chose Patriot because of the quality...However, when the house was set up on our place and the contractor "touch-ups" began....the nightmare began! Everytime the workers came in the house they screwed something up! They have textured and painted the marriage seam 4 times now, done sloppy paint work, spilled paint on the carpet (it is unacceptable-but can't seem to get the owner or contractor to give me a straight answer about replacing it), they put a hole in the shower floor with a ladder when painting,and so on. Of course the contractor wants to say his guys didn't mess things up! My next step will be to contact corporate office and the BBB! Hopefully we won't have to hire a lawyer. The house was delivered and set up 9 weeks ago and we are still not moved in. (2-6-08)

000 Stars--We have ask to be given the money back and get the house off the property.My 81 year old mother paid cash for a home from Morgan Hunter Homes (John Carricate) through Prudential Real Estate, which is Admiration Builders and Patriot Homes. The house has been sitting on the property for 8 months and still cannot live in it. The foundation is no good and it has 3 broken floor joist. The house is located at 1546 Collins Street, Biloxi MS. for anyone who would like to look at the type of work this company is doing.

By far the highest construction quality that I have seen in a manufactured home. Highly recommend.
