Scotbilt Homes

I purchased a scotbilt home from marty wright home sales in bennettsville, sc. They claim to be a christian owned home dealer. BEWARE!!!! THEY LIE!!! The home is beautiful but if you have problems with your home good luck. Once the deal is closed they don't care. They promise you the best customer service around during the closing process. After the deal is done your on your own. Scotbilt doesn't care either. Customer service lady lawanda doesn't return phone calls and VP shea jones doesn't respond either. They don't care. I just moved in my home in Dec. 2009. We ended up doing own drywall work(husband does drywall work for a living) so we could pass final inspection to get power to move in. Marty wright home sales said we had the ok to fix the drywall and my husband would be reinbursed for fixing the drywall. We had extensive drywall damage in the home. Once the work was done they now say no such deal was made, and the most they would pay was 300.00. Marty Wright himself said that was more than my husband made in a day anyway and he shouldn't be complaining. Since he was a drywall man he should have been glad to do his fix his own home. Scotbilt did come out and fix the minor problems but my carpet seams show throughout home and repairman for scotbilt said dealer was responsible for fixing carpet seams. Called marty wright and he said he couldn't fix my carpet problem. The seams show in every home they set up. Called lawanda to see if that was true and no response. By this time I'm angry and look on website for other scotbilt owners with problems. Read the complaints and looked more closely at my home and found green mold growing in kitchen ceiling where home was joined together. Called again to lawanda and no response. I hope nothing else happens because I know they won't respond. I say NBC Dateline or 20/20 and the public would love to hear the stories of scotbilt owners. Other potential buyers need to know about this company and the dealers who sale their homes.

I purchased a brand new home from them in 2008 and it is junk the roof leaks, the pluming is a messed up, the siding is all bubbled up, the doors and windows marked up and bent, the microwae is falling down and the paper on the cabinets is peeling,the ply on the floors have already started wering the tiles and is seberating at the joints,walls are unsquere and unplum, door casing are alldiffert hights

My Husband and I bought a ScotBilt home in May of 2009. When it came to our property it did not look like the model on the lot. They fixed that. Then I was told that all the cracks and such would be repaired by the service man when the house was put together. (Heritage 32X70). The "service" man they sent to me was very unqualifed. He was friendly but unable to do simple caulking, painting...etc. When I called the dealers about all the cracks in the ceilings and walls I was refered to the builder who then told me that once the their "service" man leaves that it is no longer their problem! I guess that one year warranty does not apply. I called the state and they sent an inspector out. It is proccedure that the dealer, manufacturer and the set up people be there as well. The gentlemen from Scotbuilt was rude. ScotBilt wanted to make the dealer or the set up guy responsible for all the problems so they requested a formal inspection from the state again. He came today. There is no structure problem only poor quality products and craftsmanship and today they sent Lawanda to my home and I pointed out all the problems. One of my biggest complaints is that there is only primer on the sheetrock. They NEVER sanded it! And there is NO second coat, not to mention all the trash in the walls plus all my caulking has come apart with big gaps and it looks like my cabinets are going to fall off the wall any minute so we will see if they follow through. The comments posted here do not give me hope but we will see. If I have to take this matter to court I will. I wish all of you good luck in getting your grievences repaired.

I purchased a scott bilt modular through a dealer. Have yet to have a walk throught with someone from the company. I have been in the house for a year now. When I inquired about the time frame for a walk through, I never received a response back. The contractor/dealer sent in a request for things that were missing from the home before I moved in, and later the contractor/dealer said I had the final inspection/walk through. Dont get me wrong, the house is very nice, it just needed some things done (lights dont work, light switch that's hot, but does not operate anything, interior was not painted, no doorbell just to name a few. The least they (Scott Bilt) could have done was answer my email.

we have recently purchased a scoltbuilt home.We did our first inspection on friday.I was so impressed.The sellsman walked throught the house and pointed out things that we should put on our "fix this" report.We'll see what happens when they get our home setup.So far I love the service and the employees we have encountered,but my house is still on their lot.I saw things that were add that we don't like at all lets see if I get a hard time to get it fixed.Will update when the time comes to Praise or preach on how the service has turn out.

We bought two 32x80 Heritage models this past year, one for me, one for my daughters family. Prior to buying I took a tour of the plant,walked the floor, saw how they were built. No utility lumber, they were using #2, better than most site built custom homes. materials were all above average in quality, workers were doing a craftsman type of construction. As a retired city official who has experience with both HUD, IBC and Fl. codes, I feel these homes exceed the code. I'd put my home up against any house built in the state, dollar for dollar, If you can find a better house, buy it,, and that includes Palm Harbor and site built homes. I have honestly been questioned by strangers as to who the builder is, they think it is a site built home. Even the county appraiser didn't believe it was a manufactured home. 6/12 roof pitch, stone fireplaces, tape & texture, rounded corners, 9 ft. ceilings, walk in showers, 2x6 sidewalls, a quality home throughout. When I had a few minor problems after moving in, it only took a phone call to get it fixed. Not a thing we're not satisfied with. Scotbilt handled problems far better than most site builders would.
Very satisfied with our Scotbilt homes. Remember to also make sure your dealer is good, check him out first, it matters.

I purchase a sandpiper home on my land Junes of 08. I have had so many problem where I tell my husband we should let them have this house and find another one. We have had them to come out and fix our roof. Our floors make noise and they just tell us it is just the shift in the ground. I know dorn well every time it rain the floor do not need to make noise. We have family that lives in a manufactured home and has not had any problems for years. It has been a year and we have to many problems. Around our door seals they are cracked. We have gaps between the walls and the carpet. They tell us it is just the way it is made. I wish we would have considered another home before we bought this one. Our house is made of straw. I would not recommend anyone to purchase these homes.

I have been looking online I saw a scotbuilt home I knocked on there door and talked to the owners they loved it. Thy bought it in 2004 never had a issue. I am buying one now!

Bought a ScotBilt home and paid a premium for upgraded cabinets. ScotBilt damaged cabinets and were to replace them. Then decided to stain over them, which did not match the factory stain. Then decided to cancel their contract with the factory and purchase oversees stating then they wouldn't replace our cabinets. This was all done under warranty. ScotBilt service - rip off. She's the service "supervisor" and she'll lie to your face.

Richard Konst, I'm sorry about your home that you purchased from Scotbilt.I'm glad that you posted the email about what happen to you and your family. My wife and I was getting ready to purchase the 32x80 5 bedroom,3 baths from Scotbilt homes. If you would,please send me the pictures of your home.My email address is keithdeese1969@yahoo.com

I want to say I'm sorry about my first e-mail saying how good they build a home. I was stupid as I only saw a finished product. I bought my home what a night mare like I said in my second e-mail. As of 02-25-09 my home is still a night mare the State came down and sent a man that told me that my seams that you see in my floors is OK. the cabinets that are coming apart at the seams where they make the 45* angles to make a door is OK and the doors that are crooked is OK and the hinges that are binding and the pins come out that to is OK the windows that are side by side and different heights that to might be a problem the master closet keeps blowing the light bulb and they go dim as there is an electrical problem from the time it came on my property he said he could get them to check that the lights in both bathrooms are hanging out of the walls because the screws that they used didn't hold he said he could get them to fix them now as for my bowed walls because the studs are bowed he don't think he can get them to fix that because they would have to tear the walls open The siding is a mess the OSB board in places is not secured to the studs so he said he would make them fix that. I had the dealer sign a letter with all the problems on my home so he could get me to close and he assured me that Scotbilt would take care of them after I closed I talked to an Attorney and he told me to have the Dealer sign the paper or not close which the dealer did sign I contact Scotbilt and I'm told they will not send anyone down on my home because it is Cosmedic well I guess it is hinges bowed doors crooked. If I had to do it again I would NOT under any way shape or form buy a Scotbilt Home! If you would like to see just what I'm talking about I will e-mail you pictures or better still send you a dvd or CD of my Home the construction is poor you will see all the seams in your tile floors. Right now YOU can buy a home from a builder that is under Firmer codes than this HUD home from Scotbilt I paid well over a $100,000.00 for this home and I could have a contractor build the same home but with Formica cabinets instead of this pressed paper that has a plastic sealed to it but at every seam you will see it start to peel especially by the door knobs As I stated BUYER -BE- WARE. I've lived in Mobiles in Ohio Skyline and here in Florida since 1977 and let me tell you my 1981 Heritage even though is had paneling for walls is in better shape. The Dealer wanted me to remove my second complaint but I won't he still hasn't sent anone to address my electrical problems or the skirting or any of the others that he agreed to do at the closing when he was there because I refused to close the first time so My family and I sleep in fear that my home might catch fire from the electrical problem that everyone keeps avoiding. I tried contacting Shea Jones VP of Scotbilt no luck I've sent hundreds of e-mails to both my dealer and to Scotbilt Shea Jones VP and Lawanda at Scotbilt who is customer service at Scotbilt. Now the State is involved. If I could they wouldn't even get a star but you are forced to give them one the real sad part is that they give you a 12 year warranty but won't fix it so what good is there Warranty. I will gladly send you pictures of all my problems or just ask my neighbors are they ask me when are they coming to fix your home that has all those red pieces of tape all over the out side I tell them it's cosmedic so it gives me something to talk about As I said look before you buy I've called Scotbilt but NO Scotbilt and NO Dealer so now the State

I bought a 32x80 custom built home and the minute it came on my property it was a night mare from Hell I was told by Shea JonesVp for Scotbilt and my Dealer that they would fix my problems as they stand behind their product. They are right they do stand behind their product (WAY BEHIND) they dump you once you close on the home. I had the Dealer sign in behalf of Scotbilt and he assured me that Scotbilt would fix 4 pages of problems. Finally after several e-mails and calls I get a e-mail from Lawanda at Scotbilt that they will not do anything as it is all surface and for me to contact the State of Florida. I would not advise anyone to buy a Scotbilt Home as the Workmanship is (VERY POOR) my walls are out of square, my doors are crooked, the cabinets are poorly made, the outside of the home the walls are bowed I was told by the men from Scotbilt that they would have to come back to fix it. Lawanda refuses to send them back and told me to contact the State of Florida. My advise BUYER BE WARE of Scotbilt Homes as they are not a good upstanding Co. If you look you will see that I did put in a great review of Scotbilt (BEFORE) I got my home I gave them a 5 star but this was before I got my home so I now see where several people have filed suit against Scotbilt. If Scotbilt runs this page they probbly won't print it as you can see I'm NOT happy with Scotbilt just sorry for all the other people with the same problems I have

Palm Harbor Homes is the top builder in the industry, just look at their website. This company has been the construction standard for years, Scotbuilt simply doesn't stack up.
They offer standard features like ceramic tile flooring and wood is available, Their building practices exceed a site built home, even their mobile homes are built to exceed the site built product.
2X6 walls and 2x10 flooring, they won't build an on frame modular.
I saw one on Neptune Beach in Jacksonville that sold for 900K on the land !!!
The house was only 230K, how is that for instant equity !!
If you are seriously in the market to build and have property, do your self a favor, you'll be glad you did.

the saleperson I have was very friendly and thought and listen to what we need and want in the trailer. Rob french was the saleperson name and was very good he didn't push us in anyway in any our decision it was nice place to buy a trailer I would tell everyone to go there, it was very friendly place.

I'm a REALTOR in North Fl. My dad started working with Mobile Homes in the 60's and I was raisedup in it as well. I'm now 37 and I not seen a better product for the money yet. I have worked with most all builders over the past 14 years and I feel Scotbilt offers the most for the money. I'm very happy with them.

My wife and I currently live in a Nobility which has had several problems over the years. Currently we have been looking to trade, and have decided on Scotbilt. After looking at just about every possible choice in Central Florida, the only thing close to a Scotbilt in quality is Palm Harbor at twice the cost. Tongue and groove floor decking, upgraded carpeting, upgraded cabnetry, huge closets, very unique floor plans and 9 foot ceilings throughout. Although we will be purchasing a manufactured home and not a modular, for the price Scotbilt is the clear choice. Even the dealers which we have spoken with (4 in all), have said since they have been selling Mobile and Modular homes they prefer to sale Scotbilt for quality and service after the sale.
