Pro-built Homes

I never make comments on any message boards, but in this instance I feel I have too. Too many people are complaining about the quality of the modular home, etc windows freezing, door hung crooked etc. The truth is modular's do not always come in perfect, but it is the responsibility of your contractor to fix these changes. I have personally been a contractor for over 25 years and out of those 25 I have worked with modulars for 22 of them. Someone on this board made a comment that I feel should be repeated. Most of the time it is not the manufacturer but the contractor. I have worked with many manufacturers and I have to truly say Pro-Built Homes is a pleasure to work with. The staff is extremely friendly and the owner, Dick Schmidt, is actually a great builder. Most factories are usually not run or owned by a builder, but this one is. Dick is a very hands on owner who makes sure the product put out is up to his standards. My company personally builds about 100 homes a year, all modular. If I can give anyone any advice it would be for you to ask your CONTRACTOR for a list of references. Go to past homes they have built and talk to the customers. If they are reluctant then most likely they do not follow up on service and do not have a good relationship with their customers. Stick with companies who offer you what we call a turnkey package. This means they will complete the whole job from start to finish (foundation, excavation, etc). There are many companies out there that will only do "drop ships". This means they will set the house and that is it. Good luck trying to get any service if something is wrong. If you are looking into buying a modular I can honestly say it is a great way to build. These houses are extremely energy efficient and more importantly a time saver. Also you should remember you as the consumer are not dealing with the factory, it is your builder. Pro-Built is a top modular company with great quality. With the right builder and the right specifications you can't go wrong with these homes. Good luck everyone.

I am a industry rep for modular homes and have found Pro Built Homes to be top quality. The owner of the company was a builder at one time and is very committed to quality and service. The materials and suppliers used are good quality and represent all the well known brands. The engineering department is perhaps the best in the industry. This small company is committed to customer satisfaction and is one of the few companies to remain strong and busy during the housing downturn. If you are thinking of a new home home you should consider the flexibility and service the ProBuilt Homes has to offer.

Our home was built in 2005 and we love it. People are generally shocked to find out it is a modular. We chose the Fairview design. We use 2 of our bedrooms for a bed and breakfast. We have had builders and architects stay with us who are impressed with the construction and design of our home. We have not had any of the problems others have mentioned. Pre-delivery, we worked with the rep to custom design many areas and they were put in the plans with no problems. We had one minor correction with our kitchen cabinetry that was taken care of by two representatives from the company. We receive many compliments from passers by and our B&B guests.

I am a builder who has worked with modular homes for over 25 years. You will always get your horror stories from customers who do not like their home for certain reasons, the reality is it is most likely not the manufacturer but the builder itself. These people who write in about the quality of the windows, doors hung wrong etc most likely had trouble with the builders themselves. The reality is there is no cheap way out of building a quality home. If you want a "cheap" home then you are not going to get quality material. Pro-Built is a modular manufacturer with customization capabilities. If you want better windows then you can get Pella, Marvin or Anderson, but you are going to have to pay for them. I don't care if it is a stick builder or not that is just how building goes. I have used about 10 manufacturers during my time and yes there are some bad manufacturers out there, but not pro-built. The owner of the company is one of the top builders in the United States and he takes his work extremely serious. They have a great service team and their turn around time is great. The moral of my opinion is do research not only on the manufacturer but the builder! Too many people do not consider the builders crudentials and this is the most important thing of all. There is a reason why some people are in business for as someone like myself, we build the right way. Some other manufacturers that I would suggest are Haven Homes and Westchester Homes ( They are just a bit more pricey).

I have had a great experience with this company. I love my new home and would recommend them to anyone.

I don't know how anyone could give this company a positive review....Gary Martin can't has to be the DUMBEST person I ever worked with...did these people pay you to write the positives that are not true...BAD COMPANY...keep shopping around...they will BURN you!

I am an appraiser and have inspected several new Pro-Built homes. It is a good quality product at a fair price.

I have been building modular homes for well over 30 years; this company is one of the few that really takes care of their problems. Sorry to say but these two negative comments above don't make sense, I suspect they have not tried to get their problems resolved they should contact Gary Martin the service director.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH PROBUILT HAS BEEN PLEASURABLE.THE FEW SMALL ISSUES I HAD WERE HANDLED IN A TIMELY FASHION. HECK THEY EVEN SENT OUT THEIR "TOP GUNS" FROM THEIR PRODUCTION TEAM DURING MY SET. YOU COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER MOD.COMPANY.TOP TO BOTTOM,THEY'RE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS

I love my ProBuilt Home! I have to disagree with the two comments previously made. I have had a wonderful experience with my home and I beleive that it is of very high quality! I would recommend buying a ProBuilt Home!

I adore this company. The most friendly people I've ever worked with, and the house is just beautiful, it looks exactly like what I'd always imagined my dream home to be!

I agree with bev from pa....DO NOT go with this manufacturer...my windows freeze, door hung crooked, roofs dont meet, etc. They are bad people and take advantage of you.

These are the worst quality modular home on the market...they use the cheapest materials...windows freeze in the winter...floors crack open, doors hung crooked, roofs don't meet, and contractor steals you blind...it goes on and on, cant even begin to list all of the problems.
