Our Review |
| Editor's Rating |

| Editorial Review | Redman Homes has a split focus of modular homes and manufactured mobile homes. Their modular home selection is smaller than other manufacturers but still represent some quality options. These modular homes are good option for people looking at the lower to mid-level home market. Their largest modular floor plan is close to 3000 square feet but for such a large home it seems to be lacking in the appearance. These homes seem to lack the unique design features that matching site built homes have. Their website is well designed and easy to find the information they provide for home buyers. Ideally they would add more detailed information to their website. |

Personal Reviews of Redman Homes
 Eileen Seel from Perrysburg, OH I moved into this 1995 home in 2005. The kitchen cuboards are unlevel and don't store many things. The front door was held togeather by duct tape. The windows aren't sealed or they wouldn't be dirty on the insides. The water heater is too small to fill the garden tub. The dry walls are not finished in a method I can easily paint. My back door light never worked and the water heater leaked from the time I moved in. Someone used the heat ducts as ashtrays and I don't even smoke. The bathroom drains are set in so that the water never fully drains. The shower is big enough for a 5 year ole child and the door is cheap crap. The whole place that was paid $18,ooo. for is just cheap 2 by 2 pieces of wood covered by veneer with styrofoam doors covered with more veneer.  Shelly Treece from Sturgis, MI If I could give this home a "-5" star rating, I would. We moved into a newly built 2-story Redman home in 2002. It is truly a piece of junk. The basement windows leaked, the basement flooded, the refrigertor water line wasn't hooked up properly and leaked into the basement - and this was all before we moved in.... Plaster is falling off of the ceilings in the bathroom, there are no electric outlets in the upstairs hallway, 3 of 4 bedrooms have no cable or phone jacks, the phone lines were not installed, all of the caulking has disappeared - AND - get this - there is NO insulation between the windows and walls! The carpet looks like it's 70 years old instead of 7, wood on the cabinets is just sort of falling off. I hope by the time we fix everything to sell it - we'll break even! The gutter fell off the back of the house, the driveway is cracked and sunken to the point where it just needs to be replaced. Nothing like sinking your life savings into a dream house - and have it turn out to be so rotten you can't wait to get out! Do your self a favor and NEVER buy a Redman home! UGH!  Cheryl Schuenke from Lannon,WI We bought our Redman home new in 2002,and I have to agree that this is the junkiest house I have ever been in. Within 2 years the ceiling "plaster" in both bathrooms was falling off, if it fell in the shower when you were bathing the "plaster" melted. Three windows started leaking between the thermal panes,one window actually started falling apart all around the glass. The carpet stretched out after only four years, the microwave door cracked after four years, the washer broke after four years. There are no access panels to get at any of the plumbing for the tub or shower,so when the pipes leaked between the walls,because none of the fittings were tightened, we had to cut our own access panel. Anybody who would buy a Redman built home would be out of their minds!!  Cynthia Grady from Goshen, IN We moved into our home in Feb. 2005. This is the junkiest house I have ever been in. Trim was not nailed to walls in many areas, all three plastic sinks have cracks and chips out of them,and in one door you can see the two pieces were not fit together and set properly. We had to replace the motor in the fridge, the heating element went out on the water heater and the fireplace stones cracked in seven different spots. All of this happened before three years. We previously owned a single wide and lived in that for 7 years and it was better quality than our $100,000 double wide. I always tell people to stay away from any Redman Home. They are junk and will fall apart within a year or two.
