I just went to look at a 2024 Clayton Home already on the land last weekend in Florida. I live in an apartment right now and looking to get out of this horrible rental trap. The sales person said that if I wanted to break my lease to purchase the home that they would pay my Early Terminate Fee. I said no, I have just started looking and I'm not ready to buy the first home I look at. I get anothr email today and the sales person says he talked to his boss and his Boss wanted my Landlords information so he could make her an offer to break my lease! The apartment I live in the manager will not let anyone break the lease, you can break it but they hold you to the full term of the lease if I move out, that is in my lease agreement. Again, I told him no I cannot put myself in that kind of position. After seeing these videos and other videos, I will definately not be purchasing a manufactured home!! Thank you for this very informative video!

[@marysharon9186]

We're living a nightmare for 3 years. House was a mess. Plumbing not connected. Electrical problems. Drywall wrong. Floors had screws poking thru. It's still a mess. Clayton stopped helping before first year was up. It took them 2 months to set up, 6 more months to get anyone out. They had to send out 3 different people. But Plumbing was something we had to fix. Sewerage in crawlspace in heater pipes on the ground and no even hooked up right. Mold is terrible.

[@aprilcrider7269]

Please make sure your home doesn't make you sick from sewage, mold, endotoxins and such.

[@marysharon9186]

Why don't all of you unhappy people file a class action law suit against this company? Find a class action firm.

[@marysharon9186]

@Maddie-lv5sg sounds good to me. But finding an attorney to take on a mega company with a huge umbrella of companies and buildings full of attorneys. It's like taking on 100 Goliaths

[@ceedeebee6423]

Have been looking at clayton homes..after your video...i would not buy a home from them EVER!!

[@cookiedough5374]

We just bought a Clayton home. We demanded a walkthrough before paying the balance. It needed work to straighten it out. They fixed some items, not all. It was hauled 900 miles to our location by Bennett. It was is amazingly good shape. A few Sheetrock cracks. I had to set it and skirt it. We are happy with it so far.

[@PissedConsumerCom]

It's great to hear that you're happy with your Clayton home! A thorough walkthrough is so important, and it sounds like you made some smart choices in the process.

[@ericwilliams4300]

I wonder what would happen if enough people sued Buffet...

[@kenwinton4909]

Your right they are horrible to work with they feel as though they are going to tell you what you're going to get and hell with what you bought. Most lawyers will take a case for a percentage of what you get. If you have the paperwork of what you ordered I think a lawyer would take it.

[@TheCoNuReFamily]

My mom who is disabled and elderly went through the exact same thing with no plumbing for 2 bathrooms There should be lawsuits to file against against them These people are taking advantage of people who worked all their lives and are now disabled and elderly I think people my mom included should start filing taking advantage of their age!!!!!

We made the mistake of buying a Clayton Home and had loads of problems with set up and never got an official walk through . Many problems of things never corrected after we sent in a list of repairs that needed to be done. Months later we found out we had been over charged almost $20 k. Please take it from people that have been scammed. NEVER EVER buy from Clayton Homes!

[@veryradfarout]

They don’t make the old Morocco floor plan he is referring to since about mid 2023. Sounds like a bad homecenter(dealership)

[@BigTex8319]

We bought a Clayton home in 2018, it was sold to us as new but was actually used. They said it was certified level, but it wasn't. They never gave us a walk through, and only gave us a 2-year warranty, our neighbor got a 20-year warranty on their house. We had a bunch of repairs on schedule to be done then covid happened and they refused to send someone out to do the repairs, after covid they told us they weren't going to fix anything because the warranty was expired even though it was already on schedule before covid happened. The A/C has issues, the roof needs to be fixed, and the house needs to be leveled, they told us the house would come with Hardie skirting but actually came with plastic that wasn't even installed correctly. The house is poorly insulated, we have hot spots all over the walls and ceilings, and they didn't bother to insulate above the sliding glass door. I had to pay an electrician to replace the faulty main breaker that nearly burned our house down.

[@delwingoss8242]

FYI many years ago I bought a brand new Oakwood Home. Had a lot of issues during the warranty period. I had to file a complaint with the State of Texas to get them to fix the issues. During my conversation with the State Inspector he told me it wasn't just my home or its brand. The short version is they are all cheap built piles of crap and they get away with it because the mobile home industry has a very powerful lobbying machine in most of the state capitols. They have special laws and regulations written by those lobbies and passed by state officials who are more or less bribed by that lobby. These things are built to appeal to the most vulnerable and least educated homebuyers ....and disguised as "affordable houseing" I'll never buy another one of any brand after my discussion with that inspector...what I researched and learned on my own and my 18 years of ownership. People would be better off in the long run living in an apartment or their parents basement until they can save enough $$$ to buy a real home. Those things are basically oversize RVs not built to be lived in for over a decade. Cheaply built peices of Bull manure.

[@curtmudgeon8703]

so accurate and well put! being a retired contractor, i too am going through hell. these companies AND "Setting Contractors" *may* sign off with a little reimbursement only to have you swear in a notarized letter that you will not reveal anything on social media. it is the "Whole Industry"! think about it, those who buy this type of structure are less than knowledgeable about new houses and are vulnerable "Prey". if only someone would write a book on "How To Buy A Modular Home".

Any input on Pennwest homes? Looking at some of their modular homes but after seeing reviews for Clayton it’s making me hesitant..

[@randiD123]

I have a cavalier home, owned by Clayton. Building in Virginia and there are very few prefab/ modular builders that will go up against the mighty Clayton. Tip for the day: don't use Clayton as youR GC. I could NOT be happier with my cavalier and that's only because of the general contractor. Some dealers are ok. Most are sub-par and use the cheapest contractors to save money. We visited two Clayton dealers, one was ok but high$, the other was straight up rude and acted like they didn't even want our business. My GC is in Rustburg VA. He says, you didn't but a home from Clayton, you bought a home from (and inserted his company name.) THAT is the kind of person you want to deal with.

[@tracifiske7354]

Can you tell me who your GC is? I need this GC to come and help me with my Modular home.

[@jeffr985]

The problem with manufactured homes is you close on the purchase before the house is built and delivered. The dealership gets paid once you sign the paperwork, not after the you get the home. They have no incentive to get things right and the buyer has no leverage to get things fixed.

[@PissedConsumerCom]

You make a valid point! It’s crucial for buyers to understand how the payment process works and to advocate for themselves throughout the building and delivery process.

[@teresaprewitt3716]

This is so heartbreaking to seen this happen to your family. They should get you the home that you wanted and have it fully paid for by thwm. Plus if any work needs to be done it should be paid for by them also. Come on clayton where your morals make this right!!!

First, Joe should never have moved his stuff into a house he did not order. Second, Joe should have contacted FHA regarding the mistake.

No attorney will represent me. I have been studying all the rules, regulations, requirements, codes and standards for manufactured housing. What I did learn Texas and the Federal Agencies are corrupted. 42 U.S. Code Chapter 70 Congress is to protect the consumers. Section 42 U.S. Code 5422: State enforcement. Texas Occupation Code Chapter 1201. Legislators are to protect the consumers. 42 U.S. Code 5409 states a noncompliance manufactured home SHALL not be offered for sale or sold. 24 CFR 3280.307 Resistance to elements and use. All exterior mating joints SHALL BE SEALED WITH SEALANT TO RESIST THE INFILTRATION OF AIR, WIND, Rain, SNOW, AND RODENTS. Go to any retailers lots that sell these manufactured homes and look around the exterior windows, doors, corner trim and see if the mating joints are sealed with sealant as required by HUD CODE STANDARDS

My retired dad bought a home from clayton ,where the two halves were seamed together immediately settled and cracked the inside of the ceiling finish and was a visible line under the flooring,he also had problems with his windows and also the front and back doors not closing and sealing from wind properly. Overall quality of materials used inside was about as cheap as could get. Plumbing shoddily installed,weird smell in guest bathroom from time of installation, his hvac ran constantly and had to be serviced twice in the first five years,the home is ten years old right now. Bathroom fixtures leaking since day 1, just a crappy home and experience all the way around. Also,the skirting used to go around the outside is so cheap and flimsy that if your weedester string even grazes it it slices right through it like it was a sheet of paper. Do NOT purchase anything from clayton homes. They are the worst.

Misconception is you need money to hire an Attorney. They are Attorneys that will take your case that are Pro Bono. Meaning they will take your case for free and get paid once the case is done.

Get an Pro Bono Attorney and get this situation resolved and get paid for the horrible mistreatment you have encountered. Get paid Joe!!!

[@Ryan-The-Grifter]

You're talking about contingency fee agreements, not pro bono. It's worth calling lawyers to ask, but I doubt a lawyer would take this case on contingency basis. They only take those kinds of cases where there is a high likelihood of recovering significant money without a ton of work.

[@wildwildwests]

We’re looking at Clayton homes right now and they are allowing us to view homes on the lot that aren’t even married together yet. They have huge gaps to walk across and nails everywhere. I’d definitely view before putting in my property. I’m curious if any of the Clayton homes issues are in the Washington state/Oregon area. So many issues but all seem to be south of us. I’d definitely love feedback before buying, especially since we’re paying all cash up front.

[@brandymendoza1390]

We just bought a Clayton home off the lot in Tri Cities WA. I sure hope we don’t have these issues when we have it delivered.

[@PissedConsumerCom]

Thank you for sharing your experience so far-it’s great that you’re taking the time to inspect the homes in person before committing, especially given the investment of paying all cash upfront. Viewing homes in their unfinished state can be concerning, so it’s important to clarify what’s standard for the process versus potential red flags. For Clayton Homes, feedback does seem to vary significantly by region, as dealers and contractors often play a big role in the experience.

Joe Have you tried contacting any class action law firms? It's pretty easy to figure out how many peopled have been scammed by reading the reviews. If you find a lawyer to take it on it won't cost anybody anything. All the people who bought the homes just agree to use that certain lawyer and the money they win from the law suit will be split between the lawyer (to pay his fee plus court costs, etc and all the people who were scammed. Please try to contact some of those type lawyers. There are class action lawsuits going on for all kinds of products. This is not an unusual type of law suit. God Bless you and your family.

You have all the leverage before you sign the final papers/loan papers. Whether you purchase a stick built house, modular or mobile home, once you sign you are placed on the back burner.

Do anyone have any other suggestions besides Clayton?

[@chrisgallagher2041]

you should invite the salesman over a few times to see what your house is like

First mistake is buying a crappy mobile home. They're built by unskilled people off the street. No journeyman plumbers or electricians. Cheapest materials possible. Second class housing and absolute tinder boxes if there's a fire. I used to work in the industry and I will tell you that I would live on the street before I'd ever live in a mobile home.

[@PissedConsumerCom]

Thank you for sharing your perspective on mobile homes. It's important to consider all aspects before making a housing decision.

I was going to buy a Clayton home for -$140,000. ... But after watching this very sad and very informative post, I've decided to forget about anything "Manufactured " from anybody, anywhere. We live in the internet video age... Companies can't just screw people over and get by with it like the days of yesteryear. The fact that I am writing the this commentary in and of itself proves that people ARE doing their research before buying. Before the age of KZbin and its comment section, such guidance would have been next to impossible to find... NOT ANYMORE ! ! !

[@joy2come119]

​I've been mobile home hunting for a few months and seen countless videos on KZbin about how great they've been but after watching this one I'm so on the fence. I know nothing about the foundation and what goes all into like this guy seems to know so I would fall victim to their scam. But another part of me just feels like I can't afford a stick built home. All homes in my area are starting at 300k and up and getting a 30 yr mortgage you would have paid almost double for the home with these current rates. I'm just feeling defeated

Time for a class action law firm.

Over 20 yrs ago I purchased a supposedly "best" mobile home, a Fleetwood. It's worse than a piece of garbage. Nothing is square and everything is cheaply made. At the time with my job I could not afford a real home and interest rates were high so I had to live somewhere. Now it's still "home" and it's paid for and I am retired so I can leisurely watch everything deteriorate. The only good thing is back then they were a lot less expensive than now.

[@Crusader1984]

I also bought a Fleetwood in 2007 and found a lot of things wrong with doors and windows. Things were not completely square or level but I also paid mine off and I re-gutted it put about 30,000 into it and now everything is quality and done right it’s better than buying a new $300 manufactured home when I could just put that 30 I put into it and get the same result saved a lot of money.

[@MTCT942]

He should go to his state's Attorney General office and file a complaint.

[@PissedConsumerCom]

That's definitely an option worth considering! Filing a complaint can sometimes lead to the resolution needed.

[@romans116and17]

I hope this results in a class action lawsuit

[@PissedConsumerCom]

It's definitely a serious topic to consider. Let's hope for a fair resolution for everyone involved.

Through Clayton Homes, Warren Buffett has a significant presence in the manufactured housing and trailer park industries. This makes him one of the largest players in that sector in the United States .

[@jenniferfanguy2812]

None of my electric plugs work in my kitchen and the roof leaks down yhe bathroom vent into the toilet and down my wall. Its a clayton pride 2024. I haven't even moved into in. Its been 8 months. They messed up on the elevation and that put us three months homeless

[@captanna352]

And why is no one sueing them

[@americanborn17]

It’s possible Clayton was involved in the vandalism of his original home causing him to have to accept their mistake.

[@PissedConsumerCom]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@tinabarnes1312]

Sounds like a class action lawsuit

[@PissedConsumerCom]

You're not alone in feeling that way...

[@paulpfeifer2612]

Joe. I hope you find a good lawyer on a pro Bono basis and sue Clayton to the ground. Good luck to you sir.

[@PissedConsumerCom]

Thank you for your support!

Class action time

[@MarkWG]

Geeez. This man's experience just sounds terrible. I have a new Clayton Home, built in May 2024. Mine is also in Texas, but much farther east than this man's home in Decatur, Texas. My dealer is in Sulphur Springs. My house was set up in the Mount Vernon area. I was told by several people not to go with any other builder other than Clayton. I am glad I did go with Clayton because my home and the property it sits on is perfect and built really solid. I am very pleased. I got a great deal. The home is rock solid and has many upgrades. I have already been through some really awful thunderstorms up here in the deep woods with very high wind. This Clayton home stays solid and quiet. I can not even hear rain hitting the roof. The most incredible thing is the enormous savings I am enjoying with the excellent insulation in the house. During the month of August, with average 102-degree days, my electric bill was only $68.00! It has steadily gone down each month to as low as $38.00 for November. My house is 1,000 sqft. 2 bed/2 bath, with a detached garage. I have recommended Clayton to several friends. The folks at my dealer have been very professional and are always quick to help with any issue, which have been very minor indoor trim fixes.

[@PissedConsumerCom]

I'm glad to hear that your experience with Clayton Homes has been positive! It's always great to see a well-built home performing well, especially during tough weather. Thanks for sharing your story!

[@Zizzyyzz]

Shameful. 😮

[@PissedConsumerCom]

So true..

[@tinabarnes1312]

You should've had a brand new home free of charge. I can't believe these people are still in business

[@PissedConsumerCom]

Consumers definitely deserve better treatment and quality from companies like that.
