My experience in purchasing a modular home from New England Homes, Inc., Greenland, NH is still ongoing. I would not recommend anyone to purchase a modular from New England Homes ( NEH ). We purchased a ranch (B) style and was delivered in May 2007 and its still not completed or passed occupancy permit yet. Many, many fire code and local code violations, many building items incorrectly installed. There was vinal siding falling off in July 2007 due to minimum nailing. Modular was not level or even fasten to the foundation sills as required. The (90 psf quote) snow load roof was acturally built as a 51.7 psf. Both ceiling's was noticable sagging about a month later (June 2007), along with the roof raftes sagging. There was rows ( 72') of roof shingles not even nailed which NEH failed to fasten.
NEH does paints a perfect picture during ( factory /open house tour's, brochures and etc, sales people, e.g. Giff Hamill, Billie Hamill and etc)for the consumer's, but what you recieve, is a different story and can be a nightmare for you.
Beware in purchasing New England modular home. They may not be built or installed as previously represented to you.
You are welcome to take a tour of this New England Home and see for yourself.
