Our Review

Editor's Rating
Editorial ReviewFall Creek Homes is a provider of modular homes. We enjoy their impressive floorplans but there are some questions about the quality. Some builders we interviewed did not speak highly of Fall Creek homes. Hopefully they were referring to isolated cases. It also did not help that our mystery shopper reported having trouble with their customer service. Until we find out more we will not be comfortable with Fall Creek Homes.

Personal Reviews of Fall Creek Homes

Barbara from Illinois
I've had my Fall Creek home for about 4 years now and love it. I have not had any major problems on the home.

Ben Buchholz from Fosston mn
We purchased a Fall Creek Home in 2005 and I am suicidal every month when I have to send a mortgage payment for a house that is sub standard to say the least. I guessed their might be a problem when craning it onto my basement two floor joists fell out of it. It is very short on insulation and the overall fit and finish is that of high school shop class work. They couldn't cut nice joints for my trim and baseboards so they stuffed the cracks with puddy that has fallen out. Paint on the carpet. The sheetrocking was aweful you could see about half the screw heads, used very cheap paint I could go on for hours. The so called factory repair reps were as unprofessional as I have seen. They swept their roofing nails off the roof onto our deck and left them. Lastly the house was delivered with mice inside from the factory-kinda a nice little bonus I guess. I would rather live in a doghouse than deal with company ever again

Michael Mosley from Lawrenceburg, Indiana
We've owned a Fall Creek home for 4 years now and have experienced similar problems as "many" others I've read about. I really feel that the quality of craftmanship,or lack there of is the main issue. They are solid homes, but could be really nice homes for little additional money. We gutted everything in it and started from scratch. Which is a shame since it is only about 5 years old. You really do get what you pay for. Also, I wish they were more picky in regards to thier sales reps. Ours was horrible! From beginning to end, the worst. They have nasty attitudes and act as if they really could care less about you or your potential new home. We did all the work! If I had it to do all over, I would go with All American Homes. In fact, we are in the market for a new home and I will not be looking for that type of home anymore.

Meloni & William Rasmussen from Crookston, MN
We purchased a home from Fall Creek in October 2004. The home was delivered in January 2005, just as they were filing bankruptcy for the 3rd time in five years. We have had nothing but problems with the home. If we could give the company 0 stars we would in a heartbeat. The home has inadequate insulation which has lead to mold and water damage to the first floor of the home. The roof leaks on the first floor (it is a cape style with a half story on top). The cupboard doors are all falling off, the knobs on the faucets have all fallen off, the siding is coming off and the windows and doors are not properly sealed. A representative from Fall Creek admitted to there being manufacturer issues with the home in May of 2006 and assured us they would be out in a couple of weeks to fix the problems. We are still waiting. We know of 2 other families who purchased the same model home and are having the same problems. I would run from this company as fast as I could.

Laura Swink from Hiram, OH
I've had a Fall Creek home now for 6 years and I've not had any major home problems. Some of the quality could be a little better, but we've been remodeling the home and we have had no problems making renovations. I enjoy the unique floor plan that I have in the home - it is unlike anything else where I live. It's sad that they have gotten such a bad rap, hopefully they will work to improve on it.
