Personal Reviews of Penn Lyon Homes Corp.

Erik from Mays Landing, NJ
As the owner of a modular company, I am truly disappointed I did not get to write the first review. I would like to thank them for a horrific experenience in building a modular home with this company; especially Jim C., project manager, and Mike K., my sales representive. The only saving grace for the company I can say is Shelby E. (service dept). She is the only reason they get one star.
I have a major repair (all the sheathing on the exterior of house is buckling). I contact Jim regarding this. Five weeks later, Jim sends a contacting crew from central PA. A 2 day repair turns into two weeks. Now, Jim does not want to send down PFS (third party engineer) to certify the work has been done correctly for the local building department. He wants me to pay $700 for a new inspection for a factory defect. Only after a discussion (being nice about what happened) with the local code official, did Jim reluctantly take action. Now to Mike K.. He needs a lesson in being a sales person in actually providing his builders with the proper supplies to do their job. I get a builders kit with 1/2 of the samples I need to show prospective clients. He sets me up with Pennlyon Erectors to set the house. They charge me 5400 dollars and pay the set crew 4300. They did not tell me they were keeping a 1000 dollars of my money. Thanks for ripping me off. I get a sorry from them and a promise we will make it up to you in the delivery of the next house you take from us.
There are a lot of good modular builders selling pennlyon homes. Don't fault them for this modular company's lack of customer service and not honoring their product. My opinion... AVOID PENNLYON!

ERVIN from
i worked there,and by far penn lyon has the top built,safest,the owner personally inspects every home.I also worked at other builders,no way shape or form do they come close, to penn lyons quality,or the way there built,most of the time the problem is with the set up crew,ERVIN

John Klama from 10608 noggles rd. manchester mi.
I purchased one of there homes. very very soddy construction. None of the wall studs are on 16 inches centers. The outer walls the studs are 4ft. apart causing the wall to buckle inwards between the studs.That in turn is causing the siding to open up on the ends.The windows are installed crooked.The soffit weaves up and down.The spacers between the floor joists do not touch causing the floor to squeak. The floor joists should have hanger joists there is none. The roof at the eves the corners are cut at an angle. I recommed no one buy their homes. Penn Lyon builds soddy homes.I'm not a building inspecter but I believe there breaking building codes.

Stephanie Fedynyshyn from Massachusetts
We used Penn Lyon in the construction of a custom home. There design team did not translate our plans very well and it took numerous changes.Things still had to be altered after we took delivery of the modules. Their customer service department is very slow to act on any defects or replacement parts. Not a very good experience at all.
