Kabco Builders

I bought my Double wide Kabco home last year 2018 And was allowed to design it how I wanted. Five bathroom plan but then I turned it into a three bedroom with two master bedrooms with bathrooms and one bedroom with a large walk in closet. The other two rooms, I had made into a theater room with a huge entertainment center and the other an office. So that three bedrooms and three bathrooms altogether. I Upgraded to their platinum everything. I love their fireplace great workmanship. Yes It did take longer to have it made then , 6 months to be exact. I was okay by that. It happens when they get backed up. My first impression was amazing. From the big move there was a lot of cracks and blemishes inside. To be expected! Their man fixed it up. Now they put these houses In all day everyday and yes they hurry. Small details often are left out. But I’ve had no major problems. The water has a special value or fitting on it to keep high pressure off and doesn’t allow the big tub to run fast.and it takes awhile for it heat up. No problem for me to wait. The recessed lights in the kitchen were cheap but the man was able to get Kabco to send us boxes of them for the future because they are sure they will keep blowing. I’ll eventually have to buy some or just have electrical work done and replace the system but probably not for many years. So far so good. Warranty is for one year and I’m past that now. I moved into my home April of 2018. No leaks and I’m glad. Very strong house. Hartwell homes has an awesome crew that leveled everything perfect and set it up perfect. I know how to spackle and paint so a lot of cosmetic stuff I can do. And I did. As house settled cracks started showing up but that happens in all homes. Now with it being a manufactured home, doors are cheap. I knew this, as I really walked through and studied the home and different brands of homes. Even with upgrade package, the cabinets and all are fairly cheap. Take extra care of trim and cabinets! They are particle board for the most part. This makes these homes affordable. Any water on them and they will bubble up, and paint flakes off easy. Keep your home tidy and free of leaks etc. They have plastic waterproof trim around regular shower tub combos in small bathrooms, but my soaker tub for some reason they put the cardboard trim, to look pretty I get it, but it’s like really damaged from my kids splashing. I will eventually replace it. Bedroom door got slammed one time sending the trim flying across the room. Staples and glue don’t hold the trim on well. I’ve redone all my door jam trim. Also strips from walls sometimes curls up and you need gorilla glue and small nail tacs. All cosmetic issues no biggy! I would like to give them some good feedback, always use plastic waterproof trim in bathrooms, and also you need to provide better thicker premium carpet. I chose the best they had and it’s so thin and hard. I would have gladly paid more for lush thick carpet. And better variety of colors. Also granite if they would have allowed. The homes are build strong like a house and we added 4x6 walls for a stronger build and their floors are house grade very sturdy home.... now they need to have better options and leave out the cardboard trim if a person is willing to pay them the extra upgrade! I love the style of the Kabco over any other brand! The insulation also need to be better on outside walls as I feel cold coming Through. Hartwell homes in Georgia works well with this company in having their homes shipped and set up. Their crew did exceptional on my home and I’m grateful for them. The houses can only be good as the crew that properly sets these homes up. Thanks Kabco

We have had our single wide trailer that we bought from Kabco for 7 years starting next month, and we have had nothing but issues and problems ever since the day they sat it down. Some of the issues started from the get go, and some have developed over time or we thought were fixed only to find out recently they were not. There has been major and minor issues.They so called fixed the issues, only to have the same issues to happen over and over again. The roof leaked (over the attic space vent) it had to be fixed by Kabco 3 times before it stayed fixed, for a while, and then a couple of years ago it started leaking again. The back door, when they delivered the house, the door had something wrong with it, so they had to replace the entire door, it has leaked from day one and has never shut quite right since. We were told before they came out to fix the door the last time that we were out of warranty and they could not just keep coming back, but they would do it this one last time.There were several botched attempts to fix the leaking and not shutting right and it still does not shut right and it always leaks. They had to replace a few windows for leaking, which I thought was fixed, but I just recently discovered due to furniture being moved around, that was not the case, warped window frame( top and bottom), black mold. In the last couple of years, we have discovered that water must be leaking down some of the walls between the inside wall and the outside siding. Holes are showing up on my daughter's walls in her room, that have water coming out of them, in our living room, we were moving pictures around, and when we pulled out the tacks, they were rusted. There have been roof leaks in the living room and several small issues as well, similar to what others have mentioned in their comments. On top of all that, when we were still under warranty with them, it would take entirely too long for them to get out and fix things, you would have to wait sometimes as long as a month, they had to be in your area, but when you have a leaky roof you don't really want to wait a month. I am not happy with this company AT ALL and I would ABSOLUTELY NOT recommend them to anyone, in fact I would say run, run and do not look back. It is very hard to work your butt off for something nice, when you have never had something new in your life, only to have such a horrible experience. I would expect to have issues with any home after you have had for a long time, but 7 years, no, roofs alone are supposed to last much longer than that and most of these issues didn't just start happening they have been on going since the day we had it delivered. We are still paying the bank for our trailer, Kabco got their money, but now, who knows how much money we are going to have to shell out to fix all of the issues we are having due to no fault of our own and completely due to Kabcos terrible work. I truly hope anyone looking to buy a mobile home that are considering Kabco listens to the people who have made comments and reviews about their experience with this company and goes elsewhere.

We were promised the trailer in 6-8 weeks. It took 6 months. The one on the lot had much better quality that we were led to believe was the standard. The cabinets are almost like a layered cardboard and the coloring comes off the doors if it get wet. There are nails creating little bumps all in the flooring. The trim around the cabinets don’t touch the main body to the cabinets in most places. None of the cabinet backsplash are attached to the cabinets. Nails were sticking up under the counter top on the bar and when it was replaced, a screw is not all the way through. Their answer, file it off. The old top was outside over night with a short light rain and it had crumbled the next morning. When one repair is made something else is messed up. One bathroom sink had a one inch gap around it. Solution: piles of silicone! The plumbing wasn’t long enough for it to fit in the proper place. The repair on that left me with a horrible leak that destroyed a $600 piece of medical equipment in that cabinet and some other books and things stored under that side before I found it and the mold it created. Repairs left scarring on the floors. I haven’t bothered to call about it because what will be damaged in that repair! Laundry room door would not stay closed due to a gap now it won’t close due to being too tight. Light from the bathroom between the 2 smaller bedrooms floods in above the walls into both bedrooms at night. The shower doors have a one inch gap at the top when the bottom closes (guess that’s better than the gap being at the bottom?) $96k+ for this nightmare. I’d say it was all okay if I had paid $70k but not what I paid. Arbitration clause prevents me for getting help with this so I have fought and begged alone until now. I found out yesterday that it has affected my health so I have to not care anymore. I am a teacher married to a retired veteran with PTSD so the fight is left on me (not an officer so not a big retirement) we don’t have the means and I don’t have the health to fight this anymore. They win. I am writing this to say: go with site built! The cost is comparable and the financing will make it cheaper in the long run! Look into metal building homes! Please don’t do what we did! OH yes!!! And the icing on the cake: the ruined cabinet door under the sink was MAILED to us for us to install! Yep! Making our own repairs now! I give up!

Purchase brand new kabco mobile home. Home itself is beautiful but made of paper from cabinets to crown molding press board paper. Came fully equipped with a hole in the roof which has been leaking since I purchased it. I now have a serious mold bacteria and CO2 problem their answer to the problem is spray it with some chemicals I've had electrical problems hot water heater AC the house is not married correctly together holes in the subfloor if you're looking to buy a manufactured mobile home do not buy kabco unless you want workers in your home just about every attempting to fix things that don't stay fixed. leaky sinks now for over a year and a half been fixed five times and are still leaking. They insisted I did not have mold it was my imagination. Then I had a company come out yes I have a high count of mold now all they want to do is come spray it they treat me poorly they talk to me like I'm stupid. I'm an ex real estate agent I've been through a hundred Home Inspections this house would never pass .Mold remidiation is to gut the place spray heavy-duty chemicals replace all the insulation replace the ductwork complete replace the AC unit system but now they just want to come spray some chemicals. I am middle class cannot afford an attorney and here I am living in a brand new moldy home. Thank you kabco for treating me like a moron and trying to kill me as the high CO2 and the high bacteria in this mobile home is affecting my health but they don't care mold remediation is to be done this whole house will be exposed to mold spores I'm allergic to mold and the chemicals used to kill mold are highly toxic this place needs to be replaced but they don't want to replace it they just want to come spray some heavy-duty chemicals and don't care if I choke to death in the process. My little dog has been sick from the mold spores I'm sick from the mold spores but they don't care they got their money. Do not buy kabco and after looking at all the reviews on here which I should have done before buying I am not the only one that's having problems with this company.

We bought our Kabco 4 years ago. I knew when I walked in it that it was perfect for us. We had some issues when we first moved in and they were very responsive and came out quickly to repair them. We have had several leaks due to plumbing not being tightened properly or cross threaded. I understand in the world we are living in that good help is hard to find so i gave a little grace with these issues. We recently noticed a huge issue with our bathroom due to them cross threading the bathtub faucet. We contacted Kabco and worked with Mr Mike. He asked for photos and called me back the next day and I really enjoyed talking with him. He seemed to be very genuine and you could tell he cared. He asked me for a list of items that we needed to make the repairs. He called us in a timely manner to let us know our items were ready for pickup. We no longer are in warranty so I completely understand them not sending someone out to do the work but thankfully my husband is a contractor. Mr Mike understood our issues were due to the plumbing being cross threaded and made sure he made it right. If we ever purchase another mobile home it will be from kabco. They keep their word and have been wonderful to work with even during our stressful times of repairs.
