Clayton Homes Review

Clayton Homes is the largest builder of manufactured homes in the United States. The prefab homes from Clayton Homes are known for their affordability and availability as they are sold by retailers throughout the United States. Clayton Homes’ prefabs typically feature traditional designs and single-floor layouts. Notably, Clayton Homes is owned by famous investor Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.

When buying a home from a Clayton Homes partnered retailer, buyers have the opportunity to upgrade certain home finishes as well as slightly modify the floorplan. Another option that buyers have is to upgrade for a home that is Energy Star certified. It is also worth noting the quick construction times offered by Clayton Homes. While the move in times may be longer, the actual construction process can be as short as a week for some home models.

Strengths:

  • Homes are highly affordable compared to other prefab home builders

  • A wide variety of home designs, all of which utilize green building techniques

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • Many if not the majority of online reviews about them are negative and often mention unprofessional sales people or issues with the product

  • You are looking for a higher-end prefab home

  • You want a larger, multi-story home

  • You are looking for a home with a contemporary design
