We purchased a 2007 Jacobsen modular home for installation on 1 1/2 acres we own near Keystone Heights, FL. It was to be our retirement home and we purchased a Jacobsen because we had been led to believe they build a good quality home.
We have been in the home a little over a year now and are very disappointed with the quality of it. We have had to replace all kitchen and bathroom cabinets because the ones that came with the house were of such poor quality that the raised panel doors were coming apart. The cabinets were installed with most of the doors not plumb; drawers were put in with bent and twisted glides and broken rollers. When the downdraft for our island stovetop was installed, the pipe was simply pushed through a hole in the floor into the insulation - not even vented to the crawl-space.
We are currently replacing the counter tops because of very visible seams in the formica and very poor installation of tile edging and backsplashes. We orderd the home with ceramic tile installed in much of the home and it is uneven in many places. There is a definite hump in the floor where the 2 halves were put together and many of the walls are not square. Paint quality was very poor so we have re-painted every room.
Bottom line, if you want a quality manufactured home DO NOT buy a Jacobsen.
