Our Review

Editor's Rating
Editorial ReviewWick Building Systems provides manufactured mobile homes and a smaller selection of modular homes. They seem to focus their attention on manufactured mobile homes. The floorplans that we saw of their modular homes reminded us of very nice mobile homes but still just mobile homes. They lack the special features that the premium modular home builders are providing. Wick has a long reputation so they are a viable option if you are looking for a manufactured home but they are not one of our favorite modular home manufacturers.

Personal Reviews of Wick Building Systems

PJ Little from Illinois
I did not know Wick existed until I bought a used unit several years ago. It was the best manufactured home I ever lived in. This unit had a central hall, L- shaped kitchen and tons of extra storage. It withstood 80mph straight line winds that followed a tornado. We stayed in it through the storm. There was no roof rumble, no damage except some screens, and it was not moved out of position as it was tied down properly.

We were in a mobile home park at the time. The damange to other homes in the park that were not tied down properly, and to homes of lesser quality was extensive. A few were so badly damaged they had to be replaced.

If I could find the same floorplan I would by it in a minute. It was that good. Unfortunately that floorplan has been out of productions for too long. Please bring it back, Wick! Unlike other plans from other companies, the unit I bought did not have one inch of wasted space - which is highly unusual in manufactured homes.

We sold the home with land to a young couple. They sold it to a retired couple. The last time I drove by, the house was still in good condition and being lived in. I never had mold or elecrical problems with this home either. Some would say i was lucky. I was. I bought Wick.

horrible and dishonest management. had problems and they told me the 10 year warranty was not available to me because I didn't mail in some postcard to them. worse yet the MN Attorney Generals office could do nothing. Negative starts for this company

Modular Today did give a comprehensive view of Wick Building Systems, Inc., but I would like to point out that Wick builds more Modular Homes than Mobile Homes or Sectional Homes AKA Double-Wides. Their modular home is built on an all-wood floor joist system and they do allow customization; they will even build a plan that you provide. Their homes are "Energy Star Homes", a designation by Focus on Energy. Unfortunately, their manufacturing facility does not accomodate "mystery shopping", best to hit one of their dealers to see some Model Homes on Display.
