1 starStay Away from Clayton Homes – Worst Decision We’ve Ever Made
If I could give zero stars, I would. We purchased a 2024 model home from Clayton Homes, and we haven’t even had it for a full year — yet this place is already falling apart.
We found black mold growing underneath the light switches in our master bathroom, which is a serious health hazard. It should never, under any circumstances, exist in a new home. But somehow, here we are. The drywall is bowing, the trim is literally falling off, and it’s beyond clear that this house was thrown together by incompetent contractors with absolutely no attention to quality or care for the houses they put together.
Our guest bathroom had a major issue where water leaked through the walls and out the bottom of the trim from behind the shower every time we turned the shower on. After multiple calls, someone came to fix it — only to crack our tub in the process and then try to claim the damage was already there. That’s not just negligence, that’s dishonesty.
We are so tired of constantly having to call people out to fix things that should’ve been done right the first time. It feels like every week it’s something new — like we’re living in a project that’s still under construction, not a finished home.
This is supposed to be a brand-new house, but it’s built so poorly it feels like it’s already falling apart. Clayton Homes clearly hires the cheapest labor they can find, cuts corners at every step, and has no real interest in quality control or customer satisfaction. Once they’ve got your money, you’re on your own.
If you’re considering buying from Clayton, don’t. Learn from our mistake. This company does not build homes, they build overpriced headaches. DO NOT buy a home from Clayton. You deserve better.Review fromAdrienne C

5 starsMy husband and I began working with Clayton Homes of Winston-Salem in November 2021 to purchase our new home and closed in April 2022. The early part of the process involved securing financing and having our property perc tested by the county—something that took longer than expected. Once those hurdles were cleared, our sales representative promptly began gathering quotes for delivery, setup, septic, porches, and other essential work.
Construction began shortly after closing, with footers started on Mother’s Day 2022, and by July we were moving in. Like many new homeowners, we encountered a range of service-related issues after move-in, but each one was addressed and resolved to our satisfaction. We were especially grateful for the one-year manufacturer’s warranty and the extended warranty we purchased, which recently helped us address a furnace/condenser defect.
In full transparency, I began working with Clayton Homes of Winston-Salem as a contractor from September 2022 through January 2023, and was later hired as an employee from January 2023 through July 2024. That said, my homebuying experience began well before I had any professional connection with the company. Even after becoming part of the team, I approached service requests as any homeowner would—and I can honestly say that the commitment to resolving issues and supporting customers remained consistent and sincere throughout.
Overall, my husband and I are pleased with our home and appreciative of the professionalism and support we received—from beginning the purchase to long after move-in.Clayton Homes, Inc.

1 starPaper Thin Linoleum floor covering in whole home
We purchased a NEW 2022 Clayton Boone 28' x 56' Model CEJ28564AH home/land package from a local builder in August 2022.
We had many warranty items in our first year and past.
Most recently I became concerned with many nail pops in our flooring throughout rooms in our home.
I have learned through the local Summerville, SC dealer whom the home was purchased from and from Clayton that this is only warranted for 1 year.
I have sent a complaint that the decision to use this option of flooring is a very poor choice. When purchasing a new home; the new owner does not anticipate replacing flooring for quite some years.
I have asked for them to share their manufacturing discount with a local floor covering company to help us cover these unexpected costs.
There are many other places in our home this is happening.
Here is our response from Clayton-

Thank you for your patience, ***** Sangaree sold the home to RAD Builders who then sold it to you. Sangaree has performed service on this home several times. Clayton paid Sangaree to go back and redo the marriage line trim after the home was out of warranty.
The factory would not be addressing any issues with this home.
You can reach out to the state and have a state inspection performed or contact a local contractor to take care of any issues you are currently having with the home.Clayton Homes, Inc.

This home is over two years out of warranty with the factory. Unfortunately, we do not offer flooring options at this facility and are not aware of any local flooring discounts in that area. The flooring currently in the home is the standard option installed in every home here and was present at the time of purchase. Additionally, as the customer is the second owner, the factory will not be addressing any issues with this home at this time. The customer may reach out to the state to request an inspection or contact a local contractor to address any current concerns with the home.Review fromBrandon S

1 starHello to whom it may concern. My fiance and I are purchasing a Mobil home from Clayton homes of Asheboro N.C. First of all they have you sign all kinds of mess to protect them and screw you so hire you a lawyer when purchasing don't just go through there's. With that being said we've had a lot of problems with them upon first moving in. Door frames falling of hinges, problems with AC, the house is literally splitting apart brick splitting and roof and we haven't even been in it for a year it's just bad construction all around. Very slick talking salesman but still dealing with problems almost a year out. I feel they're passifiring until outside year warranty honestly. Beware do not buy from Clayton Homes of North Carolina.Clayton Homes, Inc.

1 starI am not overall satisfied with the experience I had with Clayton Homes. The sales portion was fine but when it came to being updated on issues, they lack in being responsive. I must constantly depend on the salesperson to reach out to the project coordinator to get her to follow up with me. Specifically, after I moved in, I was informed the steps on the back side of my home were placed over the property line. This impedes me putting a fence around my home on that side. As soon as I learned of the error in construction, I reached out to Clayton homes. It has been such a struggle to get a timely response for a resolve after constant follow-up. I was so frustrated at the situation, I contacted the manager who explained that my expectation for responses wasn’t managed properly. He explained that the project coordinator is only responsible for following up once weekly. So, if you have an issue, they are only liable to give you a follow-up or response once a week. I’m finding it difficult to give them one star. I was told by the manager of the park lot that they should fix the issue and that they can lengthen the landing and put the steps on the side. Their resolve is to shorten my landing, which would cause issues with my door. I hardly think I should be the one who gets the short end of the stick (or landing) since I was not responsible for the construction that was incorrectly done. I guess I should have read more reviews before I committed to this process. Hardly work my blood pressure being raised.Clayton Homes, Inc.

1 starWe purchased our home July 2020 it wasn't delivered til December 2020. We wasn't able to move in till February 2021. We we moved in none of the doors in the home will stay open. The floor creeks everywhere. There was literally walmart bags under our carpets that you could hear crinkle when we walked on it. Also had peices of trim under our carpets and the congrolium. The marriage line of the house the sparkle was two different colors. The spackle in the master bathroom is 2 different colors. The back of the house stays about 5 degrees hotter or more than the rest of the house. The trim will not stay up in certain parts of the house. The shut off water valve literally exploded off water was past our ankles in seconds. Water was completely through the house before we could get the water shut off at midnight. The HVAC Unit has been NOTHING BUT trouble it leaks so bad 3 walls in the house are destroyed and so is the floors. The carpet has no padding under it at the marriage line and it sinks down 2inches lower than the rest of the carpet all the way thru the house. Not to mention the carpet staples cut you. We were told the only way we could get anything fixed was if we would go on and give them a 5 star rating or nothing would be fixed. Also they ordered the wrong house and when we told them they said your stuck with this one. Ours was supposed to have a pitch and it don't plumbing was not correct I could go on but I'm out of space. BTW IT WAS ****** at Freedom homes in Beaver,WV that bribed us. They also busted our n neighbors sewage pipes we had to pay to be fixed, in the middle of winter. They left pallets and cinder blocks everywhere on our property and said it was our responsibility to clean that up. The man came and cut the congrolium in the middle of our kitchen floor to get out trash from under it and them tried to glue it down. That is now coming up. DO NOT BUY CLAYTON HOMES BUYERS BEWARE THEY ARE A COMPLETE MONRY PIT AND THE COMPANY DONT CAREClayton Homes, Inc.

Hi ********** thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear about your experience. The home was serviced on multiple occasions by the retailer and once by the factory, with the work signed off by the customer. We have not received any further contact from you after the factory visit. The home is now nearly five years out of warranty, and any items mentioned would have been addressed during the warranty period.Review fromADRIAN W

2 starsWe bought a brand new double wide in 07/23. I currently have 7 leaks underneath my home. I will now have to replace all the plumbing. A one year warranty on a house that cost 315000 is ridiculous. Now I have to pay about 10000 for new plumbing. On a two year old house. The plumbing didn't bust in the winter. The weather has been perfect. I know it was defective or not installed correctly.Clayton Homes, Inc.

Hi ******, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Clayton Homes strives to provide exceptional customer care and we're sorry to hear about your concerns. Our records indicate that you have not reached out to the retailer since April 2024 for a small leak under the kitchen sink. With little information provided, we cannot assume responsibility for leaks 2 years past the warranty period.Review fromVanessa O

1 starI am extremely dissatisfied with the quality of our newly purchased 2025 manufactured mobile home from Clayton Homes. Despite numerous calls to their advocate center, including a conversation with **** regarding cabinet replacement due to a faulty dishwasher installation, the issue remains unresolved after two months. Furthermore, I was assured by a representative in February that the cabinets would be replaced within four weeks, which has not been the case. The subpar construction of this home, including poor framing, is alarming. I intend to share my disappointing experience on social media platforms to caution potential buyers and emphasize the importance of investing wisely, especially in the current economic climate. It is unacceptable to pay a 30-year mortgage on a mobile home that may not last that long. I urge Clayton Homes to take my concerns seriously and provide a satisfactory solution.Clayton Homes, Inc.

1 starWarning to Future Buyers, Stay Away from Clayton Homes of Athens, TN If purchasing from Clayton Homes, especially the Athens, please reconsider. Our experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. What was supposed to be a new beginning turned into months of stress, emergency repairs, and complete disregard from their team. Poor Construction, No Accountability. The mobile home we received was poorly built and carelessly assembled. Within weeks, we dealt with plumbing leaks, water damage, and structural issues, some requiring emergency fixes in the middle of the night. It appears the home passed inspection under questionable circumstances by the HUD inspector at the Morristown plant. Basic standards of quality and safety were clearly not followed. Land Destruction During Setup
The land was seriously damaged during delivery and setup. Heavy equipment left deep tire ruts and destroyed the front yard. Rain turned the area into a swamp of red clay. Even more alarming: the yard failed inspection at closing due to improper grading — but it was somehow pushed through anyway. It was never fixed.
Unprofessional, Unsupervised Contractors!
Crews were unprofessional — drinking on the job, throwing trash into nearby woods, smoking all around the site. There was zero supervision and no pride in their work. Management didn’t care either. It started with lies from the sales rep and ended with complete indifference from the store manager. Attempts to escalate were met with more lies and avoidance.
Legal Action in Progress
We are now exploring legal options to hold Clayton Homes accountable for property damage, misrepresentation, and breach of contract.
Final Word to Buyers
RUN!!!!
What may seem like an affordable path to homeownership could cost you dearly. Clayton Homes cuts corners at every turn — from construction to customer service. The true cost is emotional, financial, and structural integrity!
