Although some prefabs are pretty high quality. This is usually up to the contractor that put the prefab together. Some prefab mfg hire reputable contractors that are inspected by factory reps during the building. I would not rule them out.

My neighbor's house was put up by a reputable builder. All staples, particle boards etc. It is sickening but the contractor says it is what it is today.

No wonder it is most of the newer homes that have roofs caving in due to snow/water weight in the winter. Builders just don't care after they get their last payments.

You can get a home owners warrantee from one to 10 years on a newly constructed home. You have to find a builder that will honor one.
