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.

This will never be showen. I know frist I wouldn'd never give you a Five Stars Rateing. My mobile home is a 2002. I have had nothing but trouble with You and Dennis. My rug in my master bedroom is all bunch up .You has sent someone to came fix it witch they had. but now My living room and back bedroon is doing the same thing.I called and sent letters.I never heard from you pepole. this is a rollohome. my husband had a Marshfield up north We never had anything like this. I paid over SixtyFive Thousand for this one. I would tell any one who ask me about you people to stay away from and then I show them the rug. I'am on a fix income My Husband is gone I'm all a lone. Now I'm going to try and get someone to fix it or put new carpting in for Me it look like who did the work in here was drunk the padding all bunch up. I'm so sorry I brought this place from you 8 yearsold and this happens. I can't belive this.I hope your Buusiness Goes Down the Tubes. All yor care about is Making Money and not about the People You sell too. all I can say is Buyer Beware.I'm very unhappy Lady. Gloria Czaplewski.

We have owned our Wick home ten years this September. We have had trouble with it off & on over that time. Within the past five years we have had to replace the stove, same part kept breaking. After the third time we decided it would be cheaper to just get a new stove, $400. Then the refrigerator broke; replaced it, another $550. This past November the dishwasher went and again we had to replace at the cost of $600. Then there was the toilet tank that had cracked one day & flooded the main bathroom, hallway, & utility room while we were gone. For the past three years we have had to have the air conditioning unit filled as we have a leak but not sure where. This year it went completely. Called repair man. Never heard of the type of air we have. Checked inside as conditioner is connected to furnace. Coil needed is 20 in. All other systems have 25. Can't find a coil. If we are unable to find a coil then we will have to replace the whole thing which will cost us about $5,ooo.oo. I realize that things don't last forever & I knew we would have to replace things in time but was hoping it was longer then five - ten years. Now business where we bought house from is no longer is business & when I tried to call Wick I received the message the number was no longer connected. Not very pleased with company, and wouldn't recommend them to others.

I've have owned to Marshfiled homes, the first a single wide that we owned for eight years and the second a sectional we have placed on a basement on five acres of land. This house we have owned for 17 years. The factory service we received when the house was new was fantastic, the attention to details in the structure of the house very impressive for its price point. The level of trim would be considered sub par by many, but then again you get what you pay for. The best part is even today it appraises for more than 100k then I have into the place.

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.

jeff from minnesota
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

Rose Marie LaBarbera from Neillsville, WI
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.
