Jacobsen Homes Jacobsen Modular Homes are very poor quality - do not buy one. Safety Harbor Florida

i purchased a jacobsen home recently and the company has responded to all my requests in a timely manner.moving and setting up the home lies with the dealerships you purchase from.in my case it was BLACK CREEK CUSTOM HOMES in middleburg florida.this is owned by a WILLIAM A PETENBRINK who also ownns CUSTOM HOMES in ocala florida.this company is pitiful and do not have their act together,they walked away from closing in the bottom of my house.altered the exterior of my home to put up  vinyl skirting instead of the poly vinyl they displayed it with for 4 years.they left the materials lying all over the property.

reason was they didnt make enough money on the sale per walt shore the manager there.he was told not to finish my home as sold by his boss william  petenbrink.it also took them 5 mos to get thru inspections with 2 failed inspections on everything except the septic tank.they change contractors in mid course.i was over charged alot of money on fill dirt and electrical services.they also include the A/C in the cost of the home and try to collect for it again in the electrical bill.i ended up paying for 2 mortgage payments before i moved in the home.do your home work on them .they do not deliver after the sale.

The rebuttal offered some information about Modular homes that are not correct. Modular homes are not governed by HUD ( Housing and Urban Development) it is governed by DCA ( Department of Community Affaires). HUD is the governing body for manufactured homes in the United States of America. There are in fact two types of DCA, Modular Homes, available. One is a "Off Frame" and the other is a "On Frame" Off frame is removed from the "frame" and craned over on to a stem wall foundation. On frame is set up with the frame left under the home and is set up more like a HUD manufactured home with a few changes to the footers to qualify as a permanent foundation. Off frame modular homes have a bigger floor joist than a on frame modular home too. I am wondering if the original complaint had to replace his own cabinets or did the factory in question replace them? Did the factory install the down draft stove or did the selling dealer? I know that some manufactures require that the down draft ventilation be completed by the dealer as it cannot properly travel to the location from the factory with the piping hanging under the home. I also wonder if they saw the type of paint offered by the factory when choosing the options for their home? Was it not the same? Did the dealer miss lead them on the type of paint offered by the factory that built their home?
