Cavalier Homes

Bought a new2013 3 bedroom 2 bath from Knott's in Dublin Ga . Nothing but a bunch of liars come to find out the AC/ furnace is 20 yrs old . The floors are buckling lights are flickering and getting very hot . I'm expecting it to burn anytime. Do not buy one of these traps .it's dust in the wind .

Worst experience in my life. Bought new home in 2012, and has never been right since I owned it. Good Luck having someone call, email, or come out see the problesm

Been well pleased with home except almost all of the switches started arching, and I was afraid they might start a fire. I'm trying to get the switches replaced with better switches, but the wiring is difficult. I need to know how to wire the switch in the master bed room. It has three sets of wires coming to it.

This is the worst place to do any business I wish I had went on this website before going to McCants mobile home in Mississippi I just spent $137,000 on a piece of crap the workmanship sucks I've never seen a modular home built so cheap and crappy from the bathtub overflow drain to the closet shelves it is horrible I would only pray that the people in Texas and the people that are going to get hit from Irma go anywhere But Here Cavalier Manufacturing is horrible and I wish there was an option to give zero stars because they deserve none

The job and crap we've got out of them I wouldn't buy anything. Brand new home with a runit floor. Won't step up and make it right for my mom. The floor started buckling within the first month. It has soft spots everywhere throughout. After financing 97,000 and its junk.Gave her a number to call to do it herself. That's really standing behind your products.

I bought my Cavalier in Nov. 2013 and was told to write down a list of everything that needed to be fixed. I did and the service men would come out and only fix 1 item on the list. When I asked about all the other things I was told that their supervisor informed them to only fix the 1 item. I had to repeatedly call the place where I bought my home from to get anything done. Each time it was the same as the 1st time: they were to only fix one thing only. Weeks would go by before I could even get anyone out here and the list was long. I kept asking how were they going to get everything done before the 1 yr warranty runs out and was told that it would happen. Well it did NOT happen!! Here it is now June 2016 and I cannot even get the guy the salesman @ Ronco in Leland NC or the main supervisor in the service dept. guy at Cavalier to return my calls or to fix anything at all. All they wanted was my money!! I too am a disabled female and I took ALL my IRA savings to put down on this home and now I'm stuck with a $400.00 monthly mortgage for the next 20 yrs. that I have to pay but I can't buy groceries and pay my utilities then. They should all be ashamed of themselves!!!!

I just bought a 16x80 home with all the up grades, finished Sheetrock, painted walls.. It took 3 weeks for them to build it, it sat at the dealer for 2 more weeks before delivering it to my place, once here I noticed holes in the linoleum, carpet had paint all over it, walls had holes and paint runs and trashy spots all over, and structure problems, I called the dealer and they sent 2 men to fix some or the problems they said they could not do anything the factory had to fix it and that would be 3 more weeks before they can send someone. I told them to come get it but they won't, so I'm stuck with this piece of shit!

Purchased 2002 Cavalier Powerhouse from Tilley's in Shreveport. Filed a claim with trailer insurance that was obtained at the time with the trailer company when I purchased it. Insurance company came out and denied claim. Insurance company said that the flashing was installed by Cavalier improperly had wasn't allowing water to drain off roof properly. Due to incorrect flashing installation water was pooling on my roof and going under the shingles. The complete roof of my 32x80 is rotten about 3 foot all the way around. I am disable I do not have the money to repair the roof. I called and spoke with someone from Cavalier Homes is Alabama and a field representative came to my residence and agreed with the insurance adjuster however nothing was done on Cavalier's part to attempt to fix my roof. I have been living with a damaged roof since 2005, I barely have a roof left all the facing boards have fell off you can see black rotten wood all around the edges and I now have mold inside my home. I have tried my best to keep tarps over the roof but it doesn't help at all. My windows are rusting and not holding up and are non working through out the home. Kenmore microwave has the bottom rusting out and the central air unit was never large enough to cool the home to bein with out. Hot water heater has been replaced inside of home. I am stuck paying for a $52,000 home that isn't worth anything now. I need a roof really badly and being a disabled female I have no funds for the massive repairs on this manufactured power house. Also trailer insurance that is sold to a person when they buy a home is no good. I need emergency help now because I still have a monthly mortgage on a home they isn't health or safe to live in.

Extremely cheap made. Bought our home in Oct of 2013. Mover in jan. Of 2014. Nothing but problems from day 1. They have been out to fix our floors over 5 times!! It's uneven and crappy. The State inspectors are 100% on their side so don't even bother contacting them. They left stucco all over the cracks in our home. Didn't bother to paint over them. They cut our carpet up because of the abundant amount of trash underneath it and just layed it back down. It's an eyesore now!!! All they do is wait till your year warranty is up and wash their hands of you! They promised we would have everything fixed on our initial walk through mess up paper. It's way worse than before now and they won't even fix it! I will not recommend them to NOONE and will continge to bash them all over social media and review websites. Noone should have to live in the crappy homes they build!

Built 2008, was unhappy with negotiations with factory repairs and dealer didn't help. Cheaply thrown together, and even kitchen cabinets are junk! Drawers are falling out, was suppose to have adjustable shelves... instead there is only one shelf. Had power problems where house was joined in middle. They cut vinyl flooring and refused to replace it and now it really sticks out like a slapin the face. They need to stop making homes.

My wife and I have a 2002 powerhouse, energy efficient cavalier mobile home. Very nice and spacious but horrible construction on manufacturers. They didn't put a moisture barrier (tyveck) on exterior walls before vynile siding. Central a/c unit has went out numerous times and is under new construction as we speak. All the air vents are under the windows. So condensation has broke the seal on every window and rusted out the frames inside in between the double panes and wont shut completely. Kenmore appliances are wonderful but bottom of my microwave is about rusted out completely. been fighting black mold also. Guess everyone was off the day moisture barrier was suppose to be put on. It's a losing battle tryn to fix anything without that outside moisture barrier. Still owe and can't afford to wrap home. How did my home pass code without it idk. Please help from MB Louisiana!!!

I absolutely hate my mobile home it was built so cheap everything started breaking at 1 yr it s a 2009 my central air went out after only four yrs its all around horrible i would never buy a cavielier in my life again my mom has a oak creek and its 18 yrs old and. She still dont have any problems

My home is 12 yrs old. Went to paint trim and discovered the roof is rotten two to three feet .Had a roofer inspect it said the shingles did not come down far enough to protect the wood so when it rained it soaked the wood till it became rotten.

Hi. My husband and I purchased a new Cavalier Modular home in 2010. We have been pretty happy with it except for a few minor things. One is the light switch in the bathroom has pushed in making it hard to turn on. Then the rings around the door knobs keep popping loose from the knobs every time we turn the knob. But the worse thing is the shingles on the roof. Every time the wind blows from a certain direction several of the shingles stand straight up. We really don't think that the home being only 4 years old should have to have new shingles put on but we are having to have them replaced and our insurance company will not pay for this. Seems like they should have lasted longer than 4 years. Would really like to hear from you concerning this.

I bought a repo 1999 Brigadier which was built by Cavalier. It was a 14x80 metal on metal house. Workmanship was shoddy, crooked wallks and such. It DID have OSB under the carpet and vinyl...which it needed since the roof over the back door leaked for who knows how long. It rotted a small portion of it despite it being OSB. It had the wall and light outlets on the walls in the studs, not the thin vinyl covered sheetrock. Cabinets and their floors and shelves were of exposed particle board....where water lines go....what were they thinking? New 60k singlewides STILL use those same cheap cabinets. Power bill was ridiculously LOW! I averaged $60 a month...highest ever was $100 in near zero cold, with a heat pump. I love the new Cavaliers....OSB under vinyl, roofing, and flooring...even in the cabinets. So many negative reviews here make me wonder if they care about their buyers after they are sold. I asked them to send someone to check my metal roof as it had continued to leak with all the vents and seams caulked and cool sealed. I knew it was ten years old, but they had a new singlewide in my park and would have taken no time to check my roof. THAT showed me they did not care. I did not ask them to pay, I asked them to look and see if they could locate the issue since THEY built it and might know what happened to other homes like mine.

My home is a 2009, very nice, excellent floor plan, built with 2x6 construction. It was set up great by our dealer in Albertville. We have had no major issues. It is very pleasant and only exhibits normal wear and tear. It has been a very pleasant home to live in.

I have a 2006 32x80 This has been a great house, The co.had to come out do warranty work of course, nothing is perfect. The home has held up great. The house is solid and functional. Most people don't realize it is a double wide. I notice many people complained about items that it looks like might be Cavaliers fault like a water heater leaking 3 years later. That could happen to any water heater. Shingle coming off. it called wind. There are upgrade options available to make the house even stronger. I opted for the full osb wrap and osb floors I also paid for 16 in on center studs. and upgraded cabinets. I see people complaing about the 1 year warranty but you don't get any longer when you build a new house. I also noticed that some of the complaints are dealer items not factory. My brother in Arizona had a Cavalier home with his 4 boys for 15 years and not problems. So maybe there is some human error involved with some of these complaings

We purchased our 2013 Cavalier Home in June. Took them a month to get home set up. We immediately had problems with the roof vents leaking, bathroom faucet leaking, We had a 6 ft bath tub with faucet so substandard that it would run out of hot water before 9" of water was in the tub due to slow water flow d/t small tubing in faucets. Factory rep stated we've had other complaints but all we can do is send you a new faucet just like what you have. Factory not interested in resolving problems The kitchen sink faucet handle fell off, unable to use. Do you think I would want another cheap faucet sent. I didn't buy a cheap home, paid 96,000 cash it was suppose to be our retirement home. No relaxation here. We've got over 16,ooo in home trying to make it right, such as changing out plumbing fixtures, replacing all the flooring etc. I was told it would cost aroung 3,000 to put in concrete slab, lie it cost 7500. I was also told the cabinet were oak but only the outside doors, several drawers have been replaced by sending them in the mail and fixing them ourselves. Cavalier homes did fix all the leaks so far. Our warranty (what warranty} runs out in August. Woe is me,

Six years later we are very upset. Roof leaking. Crawled into the attic and found a mess. Gaps between hinged roof and rest of roof. Staples and nails are everywhere except where they are supposed to be. Entire roof deck needs replacing. Place we bought it from says it is because we didn't put tar around the roof vents. It is not leaking around the roof vents. A lot of the leaks are around the tons of huge staples that are poking through the roof, and where the hinged roof is not sealed.

We bought a Factory Option 2001 built in Addison. We special ordered our home and added18extra options to our home. I requested to see my home being built. I was called and invited to come to Addison as my home was in production . I was treated like a Queen while there. I could say a lot of bad things. about my dealer from Pell City, but the factory sent someone 2times to fix minor issues. We are still in our home in 2014 and still love it. Every repair on our home has been normal wear and tear. Let me say also we looked at every name brand of home on the market but still liked the Cavalier better. By the way we traded a 1985 Cavalier in on our new one, we wanted a larger home. Let me say again we still love our home.

We bought our 1995 Cavalier doublewide in 1998, it was a $72,000 special order that had been repossessed. Ours is very well made with 3/4" plywood floors, plywood (not particle board) behind the exterior siding, 2 x 6 floor and ceiling joists and roof joists. In the roof, between the 2 x 6's are 2 x 2's every 8-12". Shortly after purchase we got in on the plumbing recall and pvc plumbing was installed throughout at no cost to us at all. Before we ever moved in we replaced all the faucets with high grade lifetime warranty fixtures, and we replaced all of the light fixtures with high grade replacements. Our hot water heater lasted 10 years before we had to replace. The original heating and cooling system is still in it. We are looking into new but only for energy saving reasons. The only serious repair we had was the cheap vinyl tub in the 2nd bath leaked around the caulking and we had to replace walls and floors there. We rebuilt and replaced with a solid tub/shower unit and sliding doors. The roof is now 18 years old and we have developed a leak around the kitchen vent hood. Otherwise the roof would be good for another 2 yrs minimum according to two different roofers. Rather than patch we are replacing and eliminating the 5 turbines and having a ridge vent installed. This mobile home was not made for Alabama but for one of the more northern climates may account for it being heavier built, as well as it being special ordered may have had something to do with construction. You don't have to buy what is on the lot, you have the option of special ordering for better quality materials. My only real complaint is there is no attic access and I don't have a basement for tornado weather. Hence, eventually we will build a house and sell the Cavalier. As to the quality of ours we are very well pleased. My advice, buy 2 x 6 framing minimum and plywood floors, exterior walls behind vinyl, and for roof decking and make certain you have pvc pipes, it will last much longer.

Well where to begin? My celings have cracks in them and the moulding is falling off too. Dont have a way to access my second bathroom when needing to fix or check things. I paid a lot for my trailer and it has problems since i got it.

Most of what I am reading are setup problems, dealer is responsible for, I worked on mfg. Homes for about 13 years and folks, improper setup is cause for most of the problems I see, and the dealer is responsible for sealing roofs, installing siding on ends and trimming the marriage line out. These people make a good home, don't let your dealer screw you, they try to lay it off on the mfg. ... Why do you think most dealers are out of business after a few years? If you are not happy call. For a state inspection, your home will get fixed if you are the first owner of it and it really is poor workmanship, call your state dept. Of housing and ask for the mfg. Home division.

make that a -1 star bought my home new in 2010 it had been built in 2007 gave 100,000 for the home an from the time it was sat on my lot its been trouble had the roof check after seeing shingles on the ground they were not from my roof but the roof inspector said I had major damage to my roof so I called calvalier homes an they said sry about your luck 1 warranty on the roof of a 100,000 dollar home but i am lucky i got 6 yrs extended warranity with the home if it dont pay to fix it I will be taking cavalier homes to court along with the lot that sold me this junk never buy from cavalier they dont stand behind their homes at all.

I bought a new Town and Country home in 1999. It has a metal roof that leaks constantly. It appears to be a design flaw. The roof vents leak during heavy rains. I have not been able to find a way to fix it. I have replaced most of the vents, but they still leak. The ceiling of every room has stains, and several of them are falling down with large cracks. Someone needs to start a class action lawsuit against these clowns.

My carpet has bare spots already and just got it at the end of the year. I called the boss and I hope it will get replaced soon as was told it would take a while for someone to come out as they have to have several on the list to make a trip of all things. Someone put roofing nails in it when it was turned back in the living room and made holes in the carpet. The carpet is very cheap but thought it would last awhile as when I mentioned it to the Sales person he claimed his has lasted a few years. I also had some moulding fall off and see a few cracks in the bathroom. The service guy in October never installed the spring on the front door and should have checked i before he left. They do depend on the homeowner to take care of busines. The home seems ok other than what I mentioned and hope it continues as some of the reviews are interesting.

For ANYONE looking at buying a Calalier home, Please check all specifications of what you are buying. 1" x 2" roof trusses will not last, thin press wood floors will not last, electrical fixtures and switches will not last, short cuts in plumbing, bad appliances, just about everything you can think of. To avoid any future problems you may have, Be sure to check all specifications on your home before buying. I could write a book on the problems that we have on this 8 year old home, but you get what you pay for. Oh by the way, Homeowners insurance deems it normal wear and tear. " BUILT TO LAST A YEAR A ONE DAY "

We bought our Cavalier Riverchase Home in December of 2002. In 2005 the roof had to be completely replaced. When they got up on the roof to replace it they found brown paper(like grocery bag paper)not tar paper and a roof stucture built of 1x2s which weren't even spaced closely. The windows (double paned energy savers) are rusting on the inside. The floors are solid (one of the few good features). The kitchen sink leaked so much that the cabinet bottom rotted out. We have rebuilt and reworked a lot. Very cheap carpet. The water heater leaked after 3 years. The appliances were horrible nd hade to be replaced. I personally think that this company buys second hand appliances, windows, and doors. Oh yeah oon our back door the outer coating is peeling terribly so that you can see the steel underneath.Our master bathroom is so cold that we have to heat it with an electric heater. Stones have fallen off the fireplace. You can feel cold air seeping in around the windows and in the corners on the outside walls. I am going to havee to caulk that. Their warranty is a joke--365 days. Really. On a 50,000 purchase. The bottom line--Don't buu a Cavalier home if youdon't want a lot of problems.

If I could give 0 stars I would. My home was not cheap. I paid a lot for it. My bedroom has mould on the ceiling, the trim is falling off the back, the carping is comping apart at the seams, not level, windows don't shut right, glue stains on the floors that have come through the fake tiles, air conditioning unit had to be replaced, water heater had to be replaced, roof is moulding (decking). Anything I forgot to mention? My home can't be insured fror what I owe because it is junk.

I have looked for my other review but it's not on here??? I have had my 2011 Cavalier mobile home for a year and 5 months. It's very nice and seems to be built well. We ordered it with lots of upgrades including the energy star package, floor joist on 16" centers and the smart panel siding. We have awesome electric bills for a mobile home and as it's on concrete runners it feels very solid. We've had our share of problems with two of the three vent pipes on the roof leaking. The one in th guest bath leaked and they had to tear out the bath and replace the carpet in the guest bedroom. Most of the repairs have been cosmetic like the faucet in the kitchen broke. They always send a service man but it takes time for them to come as they run routes and come out of Alabama so you have to wait till they are in your area unless its an emergency like the vent leaking water on the stove in the kitchen. They sent someone out quickly so it didn't ruin the cabinets or the ceiling. Overall it's been an ok mobile home. I was dissapointed to have these problems but at least they came and fixed them.

We custom ordered our Cavalier mobile home in april of 2011 so we've had it for 1 year and 5 months. I did everything you could do to it that I thought would help it to be sturdy and energy efficient. I had the energy star pkg which upgrades the insulation and adds the 2x6 walls. Had the smart panels on the exterior, floor joist on 16" centers instead of 24". Upgraded faucets, carpet, you name it. I was so proud of it. It is very pretty and we've had lots of compliments. The first thing to go wrong was leaking around the stove pipe. They promptly sent out a service man and he said it was fixed. Next rain they sent out another an he did fix it. Next was the guest bath and bedroom had to be torn out and the carpet and walls replaced due to a leak around that exhaust pipe. We had several cracks in the ceiling from settling. The a/c had to have three service calls cause it had a leak in the line which caused it to freeze up. They contract out the a/c units so they aren't responsible for them. The faucet in the kitchen had to be replaced cause the handle fell off. Was suppose to be the upgraded faucet but... The outside faucet ended up having to be replaced. The faucet in tub doesn't have a long enough spout on it so it splashed water on the wooden trim around the tub. Now as if that weren't enough we are having electrical problems. We got the first one solved and fixed but not part of it is out again. My husband is working graveyard shift and we have no a/c cause the electric box has bad breakers even though they don't throw and you can't figure out which ones are bad. I use to brag on how nice our home was but now I'm not too happy with it. They have been good about sending service men out but after a while you start to get really annoyed. We should not have had this much trouble. We did everything we could to make sure it was set up right. It's on concrete. It's beautiful but it's got problems. I'm sure they will send out service guys but in the meantime I got a case of the reds.

My husband and I got a brand new 2003 Cavalier Home From Gulf South here in Louisiana we loved it at first so now i been haven it for about 9 years had nothing but trouble the hole time my ac broke three time my wall kept getting wet and soft thinking it was the windows what a joke it is from the roof when a called about it they made it like it was my fault i have a big hole under the tub in the master bath i called about this when it was under warrenty the denied saying we did not seal the windows when we do once a year sometimes twice a year i will never buy another cavalier home again i still think they should replace the walls and the roof

Bought a Cavalier Powerhouse in 2002. Has been a wonderful home. Love all the extra amenities mostly in the kitchen. Went through hurrice Rita in 2005 with very little to no damage. Did have roof replaced. Only problems i have seen is floor buckling around tub in 2nd bathroom. My ceiling does pop alot but not sure if it's weather related but does kinda sound scarey. And, floors don't seam to be real solid when walked on. Very noisy. Did pull up carpet in den to replace and nice solid plywood floor so it must come from the joist or frame. That has been a big problems for my family. Very satified with mine. Especially after looking at new ones. mine is built of high quality materials and hopefully willget top dollar for it when we sell it.

We purchased a 2000 cavalier home from an independent dealer in Starkville, Ms. 'WHEELESTATE'. We paid a lump sum amount of cash to the amount of $26,000. The mobile home was new and had never been inhabited. We did not have many problems and it has been a wonderful home until this year. We were told that this particular brand had a lifetime warranty on the roof. Earlier this year apparently the roof began to leak and it was not notice until the floor began to rot. We now have two places on the floor that are rotte throughout. Last year we removed all of the carpet and put a high grade linoleum throughout the mobile home. Now the linoleum is out of stock and will probably have to have new flooring once the floor is repaired. Also, I have not been able to contact anyone regarding the roof.

My home was a 2001 Powerhouse. Frame was bent upon arrival at my property. Home had to be reset 3 times in order to get it level. Had kitchen fire due to electrical bad in house. Cavalier installed fire alarms did not work to warn us of fire, instead breaker popped in den but the breaker in kitchen never popped or turned anything off. Air conditioner and heater went out several times with in first 3 years. Thermostat had to be replaced yearly due to going out. My electric bill ran 5 to 6 hundred dollars per month due to air conditioning or heating under house. This was just the start of the problems with the house, I don't have all day long to write out the rest of the problems. My home was made in Alabama. I suggest not buying a Cavalier Home if you don't want a lot of problems.

In 2006 I purchased a reposessed 1999 Cavalier, 28 x 68, 1800 sq ft. 4 bedroom. I have been extremly happy with my home. I chose to replace the kitchen, replaced the carpet and vinyls. Painted to my taste. This home has done me well now for 6 years. I love it and would recommend it to anyone. I guess from some of the reviews I have read I am lucky. I had a weatherization done on the house about four years ago. The fellow was very suprised at the amount of insulation it had the number of BTU's the furnice has and how tight the doors and windows were. I have had the roof replaced but only because of wind damage. As far as the floors are concerned they are much stronger than the floors of my previous stick built home which I bought new. You could have a hodown on these floors. The floors in my stick built home would bounce when walked across and everything in my curio cabnets would rattle. I really feel bad for what some people has gone thru but I'm sure that their are more people out there that are happy with the CAVALIER. I know I AM.

I own a 2004 and it is a lemon for sure. The moulding is put up with staples and there are about 25 in each piece doing nothing. I think they use used lumber I opened on inside wall and it looked like some won had taken a hammer claw and broke the wood off instead of sawing it off. The hall way the wall bulges out about 2 inches you would think they could do better than that. I don't see how they can get away with these things must not have any quality control. Or they just don't. care get the product out the door and forget about the person who buys. If there was a no star option I would use it .

I would not buy a home from Cavalier we have had repairs done are so they said but Cabinet draweras do not line up been out here a few times to fix it. A/c stoped working on 8/31/11. The master bathroom windows leakes and runs down the window causing the wall to be wet. The water in the toliet bowl leakes all the time. the kitchen sink needs to be replace. The master bath tub has never been used because the drain is rusted. The home is not even two years old called Clayton Homes in Mobile and they said it is not there problem because it is not under warranty. We got screw because we paid cash for it. Clayton Home in Mobile are real winners if you know what I mean.

I have owned my Cavalier home since 1990 when I special ordered it from a local dealer. It was finished before the time they told me it would be and delivered exactly at the time I asked it to be delivered. The people who set it up were efficient, careful and tested everything before they left. They also were careful of my yard and made sure to clean up thoroughly before they left. The only problem I have ever had is the plumbing joints under the house. There were six of them . These are the types that were recalled by the government ten years later. The pipes are fine but the t connectors had to be replaced. They cost about $8 each. Other than that, the home has been an exceptional building, standing through 5 major storms(including tornadoes that uprooted my trees in the yard and destroyed both the brick and the cedar homes next door to me. When I had it re-financed a few years ago, the home inspector said the home was of exceptional quality and had withstood time and wear as well as any home(modular or not) that he had ever seen. Don't know about how they are but now but mine is now 21 years old and is as solid as a rock . The only part that shows its age is of course the carpet which I am now replacing.

August 2011. We just bought a 2003 cavalier repossessed home. Loved it at first sight but now I am terrified of all the reviews. It has taken us several weeks to get all the electric and such hooked up. Got the AC done today and yes, most of the vents barely blow except the one in the master bath and the one in the master bedroom closet. Nice and cool in here, pretty warm everywhere else. Because we bought the home from a "used" lot it was as is no warranty. After reading one of the other reviews I checked under the tub in the master bath and yes, a huge hole through the floor probably 12" across straight down to the insulation under the home. Also noticed on the roof there are a ton of silver things sticking out from a lot of the shingles, it looks like nail heads, I did not notice these at the dealer. I will have to get a ladder and check that out. Some of the windows are extremely hard to open and close, the house is level and we have oiled the metal rods on the sides to no avail. Also noticed a few of them between the panes look like they could have leaked inside the window. When we got the water hooked up and turned the water on to the toilets a couple of minutes later it sounded like the was a fire hydrant on. The metal pipes behind the toilet were busted. We paid off our first (much smaller) mobile home this year and wanted needed more room for our family of five. I know that a lot of times you will always hear the bad reviews before the good, there could be hundreds of satisfied for every one dissatisfied, but I just don't know. The dealer we bought the home from said they used to sale brand new cavalier mobile homes and they are good homes. Have I just purchased a money pit???

I basically like our cavalier home except these windows made by Moss which are the thermopane, But in the winter you can feel the cold air blow up the tracks. Had to put insulate in them .Called Oakwood homes where we purchased the home in Springfield,mo. They said they didn't know what to do. That they never had any experience with this type of window. Also have a big problem with the back door. Which is a cottage door with no storm door on it because it opens out. When it rains it leaks in the home over the top. I have had Oakwood home out many times. They replaced the door once with no success, Now all they do is come and make a mess with their caulking gun. I told them they need to replace the door with a solid steel door that opens to the inside along with a storm door. But they said that this cannot be done.

We bought this home back in 2002 and there are many problems. The air conditioning being the main one. It is always freezing in the master bedroom and bath room yet it is so hot in the living room and kitchen area. The toilet in the 2nd bathroom is not even the number of inches away from the wall that it should be and we have to keep 2 pieces of wood between the toilet and wall so that it doesn't get loose, don't even get me started about the studs and how far apart they are in this home, master shower got a hole in it and had a time getting them to fix it, very cheap wood in the 2nd bathroom we found out when we decided to take up the carpet and we had to replace all the wood around the tub area. These are just very cheaply made homes and I think it's terrible that they are taking advantage of people and would not recommend this brand of home to anyone.

bought powerhouse in 2002 love it when the people that set up house is key the team I had were great if you have time stay there inspect they will take care of problems do not close on house until things are taken care of you cannot buy a 2300 square home stick built for 70000 dollars good luck bobby

If I had it to do all over again, I would not even look at a Cavalier Home. I bought one 3 years ago. They still cannot get this thing right. Kitchen counter tops, they scratched them in the beginning. To try to fix that they used sand paper. Did not work. I told them they ruined them. They came back and used furniture polish on them to try to just hide the problem. They were out today (after 3 years) they buffed them, sanded them and buffed again. Now there is no shine on them, they look horrible. I told them 2 years ago that they were ruined. They just send someone different to try the same thing. I paid $90,000.oo for this cavalier home. I am not asking too much for them to make their mistakes right. The craftsmanship is terrible. The only reason I gave one star is because I could not give ZERO. This one was built at the Addison plant. I wish I had never bought it

We purchased our Cavalier home six years ago. The home was manufactured in Sept of 2004 in Alabama. We had a time getting it set up due to weather and location but we have been very happy with the home. We have had to replace the fan on our outside air unit but all appliances and all structure have held up so far. The floors, roof, and wall all appear to be in good shape. So far my experience with a Cavalier home has been positive.

I own a cavalier cambridge doublewide built in 2003. I like the home a lot. It is layed out great and has a great kitchen. I have read through all of these reviews and have some of the same concerns. I have had some plumbing issues with leaking pipes. I also have a hard time heating the master bathroom. I looked under the garden tub and there was no insulation but a big hole that led to the ground beneath. I fixed that and no problems since. I think that was an oversight. The light switches and sockets sizzle and stuff when you turn them on and off and plug things in these things all had to be replaced. Our breaker box is wired all crazy there is too many sockets on one breaker and hardly nothing on another. Not too sure what to do about that but try not to overload the sockets so there is no fire. I also noticed about a year ago that my cabinets looked like they were about to fall off of the walls. I had someone take one down and noticed they were held to the walls with big staples. No nails were holding them up there on the studs like I thought they should have been. We decided to remove all of them and the microwave/range light. They all were the very same way. Made crappy and barely hanging on. I was shocked. I had heard such great things by the guy who sold it but was amazed at the poor quality. Everyone beware if you haven't noticed please don't let your cabinets fall off the wall. I have not had any roof issues knock on wood. I have had no floor issues either. I wonder if where your home is built if that is the problems. Some employees take pride in their work and others don't. I live in a town where manufactured homes are built so I hear all kinds of stuff. I do have one wall in the kitchen area between the den and kitchen that is bowed. All in all I have enjoyed my home and everything has problems. I am sorry that everyone has had so many issues. I think the company should come and correct these issues before they are out of business. Good Luck everyone. Also, to someone who is considering a purchase just be very ware of what is there have a home inspection done. I love my house but there are some things that should have been done better.

Everybody knows that "manufactured homes" are built to a specific price point, and hence are inferior to real houses. But the level of shoddy workmanship is appalling.
If my home had half as many staples, actually holding it together, as it has poking holes in things, it would be the strongest structure ever.
The roof has leaked since day one. I just replaced my entire roof, including most of the decking and some of the "stringers". At this price point, I was expecting a weak roof, but who makes roof structures out of 1x2s? 7/16 osb decking? No tarpaper?
It turns out, some of the soft spots weren't rot, they were places the decking wasn't even supported by the stringers. (More than half of the decking was rotten or moldy, though).
Over $5000 in materials (I did all the labor.) Now all I need are new floors, replace the moldy walls, loose siding and I can start replacing the broken tubs (3 out of 3 are cracked), bad fixtures and rewire all the outlets that are rated higher amperage than the wiring or breakers. (I am afraid to examine my duct work under my house yet. Probably as bad as everyone else's. I did replace the A/C unit that came with the house, at my expense, 3 months out of warranty.) Happy times!
Then I get to try to add enough insulation to bring it up to the spec, which it, allegedly, is supposed to meet. (Good luck getting any help from HUD, no matter how many blatant violations you find.)
Anyone who reads this page and still buys a Cavalier home, cannot be accurately described without violating the terms of the agreement to post here. Please note that the couple of good reviews on here are people who just purchased their home. I liked mine too, for a couple of weeks. They'll figure it out soon.

In my honest opinion if you bought a good cavalier home you got damn lucky. I purchased a cavalier home and have had nothing but problems. To start with the frame is bent and the whole trailer is unsquare. The walls are falling apart and buckling. The floors are all lifting, the ceiling leaks, the gaps around the doors and windows exceed over a 1/2 inch in spots. Terrible built homes, no customer support just total b.s. and delays to get you passed the year warranty. I would have carpeltunnel if I wrote all that is wrong.

In 1999 I bought a Cavalier Mobile home. I discovered we had a leak in the roof so we called our insurance company. They came out got on the roof and said it was because of the vents. My husband then got up there to tar the vents and discovered that no tar paper had been layed down under the shingles and the shingles were not overlapped. We now have a hole in one of the bedrooms. Mold in that room also in the living room. I would not ever buy another Cavalier home. We were told they were the best. Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We bought our home in March 2007 from a local dealer and we are happy with our home, although we have had a few issues, but with all homes you will have some issues. It was set up properly and finished well, the men who did it were very professional, looks great. I hate to see such bad reviews and am sorry for you guys, but we are happy with our home and plan on being here for a while.

We bought a 2004 model in 2005 and have had a few problems. When we first moved in we had to have a plumber come out and fix a leak under the guest bathroom, then the warranty work was done as requested by the contractor from the home office in GA. They fixed a ceiling and fireplace cracks and master bath shower cracks. About 4 years into the home the back bedroom breaker started tripping, so we moved everything out of the room and discovered the shower was leaking into the wall. We got that fixed by a plumber and then discovered the leak burnt out the plug under the house which almost caught on fire. We love the house and the space it gives us for a 3br 2ba. Now after reading the reviews I am worried about my roof leaking. Just remember when you buy a mobile home or a house they all eventually have problems.

I am in my second home built by Cavalier in Nashville NC.It is the best mobile home on the market in my opinion, I ordered it with osb floors and osb sheathing on the outside at more cost but well worth the money. Many of these complaints here should be directed to the local dealers and their transporters and setup men. Cavalier makes as fine a factory built home as anyone including Palm Harbor.

I was looking to buy a mobile home and I found a floor plan that I like very much. I was on web sites all day and I found your website. All the opinions on cavalier homes are BAD leaking roofs, cheat drains, wore walls, leaking pipes. Now I'm not sure about buying a cavalier home. Please help me make up my mind.

Buyer beware!!! I just replaced a portion of the roof by the front door that had rotted away. Some idiot in the factory thought it would be ok to leave staples exposed to the elements on top of the shingles. I don't think it would take a high school graduate to figure out that if you put a staple thru a roof shingle you are creating a water leak. I can't believe that after only seven years my roof is bad. Everywhere I look there are staples sticking up out of the shingles. I don't even want to think about the cost of a new roof so soon after buying this place. When I contacted this company about the issue I was told "that's why you have homeowners insurance". Unbelievable. What kind of customer service is that? I will never ever give this company a good review, and I would hope that anyone out there would run away and find something better to spend money on.

My home was build at Cavalier Homes of Alabama in Addison, AL. We have had our home for a little over 3 years we have a leaking roof, the outside walls are warped with a wave pattern, the floor boards are loose and we cannot uses some of our outlets because when you plug any up the light flicker..We even went so far as to get an outside repair person to take a look at the problems and he informed us that these problems were the result of the way the home was built. I have contacted cavalier and requested that they send someone out to at least look at the house so that they can see what is going. The only thing I get from them is that the house only house a one year warranty and which means that they do not stand be-HIND THERE PRODUCTS. When a company WILL NOT STAND BEHIND their work then they cannot be trusted. I am one of those people that from the beginning I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt because all I wanted was my house to be repaired. I GIVE THEM O- STARS BECAUSE THEY DO CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. All I can say is buyers beware of companies like this if they did it to me then it could happen to you..

Our Cavalier home was purchased in 2004 and we have developed leaks in the roof. We're getting a roofing inspector out to see what needs to be done. A roof should last more than 5 years.

I like my home, Power House I think. It has a popping in the roof as temp changes that concerns me. I may see if their service man will look at it.

I just moved into a 4 bedroom modular home on frame, and I am very disappointed with US Mobile Home Services. My landscaping is just terrible, parking pad is awful. Setup from the start to the ending was terrible. They destroy my property. I don't have my keys to my home yet. Cannot use back door cause don't have the keys. Look like hurricane Fay came through. I will never purchase a home from US Mobile Home again nor recommend them to no one. Bad services. I love the home but the painting is awful.

We just moved into a beautiful ranch modular home by Cavalier built at the Addison plant. Everything is sheetrock with beautiful crown molding. This home appears to be built better than many of the site built homes we looked at prior to deciding on a modular. Everyone who handled our home from financing to move in was wonderful to deal with. Thank you US Homes, Marianna, Florida and Cavalier!!
