Bought a single wide solitaire in September of 2016. Took them 3 months to install a new front door.

The floors squeak. Took them to court over $1,000 worth of damage to my property. But the salesman and the contractor lied. The contractor call me wanting $500 more to bring in dirt to build the pad that I had already paid him $1,300 to build I told him no take the dirt from a hill I had on the property instead he took it from the front of my property and create a huge mud hole right for the driveway.

Also the single wide was 18 foot wide they made the runners 16 foot wide and had to come back after the mobile was in place and put an extra foot on each end of the runners I paid 3200 for that mess up.

Just run the other way don't stop there.There are plenty of Wellbilt mobiles out there Solitaire is no longer the only one and if you can go somewhere else I would say stay away from solitaire. I wish i had gone elsewhere

Reason of review: Poor customer service.

i have to say that i own a Solitaire, I have for about 6 years. I have gotten nothing but sheer pleasure from my Solitaire Home.

I was a former other manufacturer single wide home owner. The "other" brand that I bought literally became a money pit, all while I was making payments. I was having to scrape up money where I could just to keep up with repairs from a home that was falling apart! In addition to that I had extremely high utility bills due to poor insulation and construction!

Since owning my Solitaire, I have saved money!!! utility bills lower, much lower, and no maintenance needs beyond the normal home owner maintenance.

What most people dont understand, when having a home built by a contractor on your land, is no different than buying a mobile home on raw unimproved land. I would have had erosion issues, however, as a home owner, i planted sod to maintain the work that the contractor had completed on my property.

Pad sites for manufactured homes are no different from a site built home, there must be water diversion=water diverting away from the home! YES, there could be extra expenses involved that should be taken into consideration when doing a pad for a home (not just a manufactured home).

I spent a little extra to make sure that my pad and property was done correctly in order to make sure i had no issues down the road with water etc.

At some point, an individual has to take responsibility as a home owner, and not point the finger at the manufacturer or the contractor.

Does anyone here think that any other manufacturer or site built contractor would come fix or do maintenance/warranty work on a home due to weather related issues ie: hail, high winds, etc. (issues that should be filed as a homeowner on insurance)? TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND BE A HOME OWNER, IF YOU CANT AFFORD TO MAINTAIN WHAT YOU PAID FOR INITIALLY FOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, SIMPLY PUT, YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY A HOME!

Before i purchased my Solitaire home, i looked at every manufactured home on the market, especially after my first initial purchase, I did not want to repeat the same mistake.

I have had a fulfilling experience with my Solitaire from onset of the sale all the way to the service after the sale! Its unfair to bash a great company that does offer a money saving home!! At some point, I WILL go back and most likely trade in my singlewide for a Solitaire double-wide, which will be my retirement and forever home!!! Some of the posts i have read are from home owners who have had their homes for years, and are now having some issues.

Do you think a site built home builder would come do home repair after a year and from negligence of being a responsible home owner and simply maintaining your home, or even weather related issues? NO BUILDER IN THE WORLD WOULD COME DO WARRANTY/MAINTENANCE REPAIRS AFTER WARRANTY IS UP. WHETHER THAT BE SITE BUILT BUILDERS, OR MANUFACTURED HOME BUILDERS. My husband was a construction contractor for site built homes in Massachusetts.

After moving to Oklahoma and with the research we had done, we chose Solitaire hands down for its construction and building materials, all at a price much lower than having a home built on our land! WE love our Solitaire and are beyond happy with the choice we made!!! Even if we chose not to trade for a double wide, we know that our Solitaire will serve us well for many years to come! Ask yourself, did you maintain the site after prepared?

What could you have done or not done that might have turned you around from being a pissed off consumer to a happy home owner?

Bottom line, there are two sides to every story!!!! Have a Blessed Day!
