We never really considered a modular home, but when we priced out putting a house on our piece of property the cost was more than we wanted to spend. So we gave Eagle Homes a call to explore the options that they had. Our first contact was with Mike . He was extremely helpful over the phone and since we were from out of town the only day that we had available was on a day that Eagle Homes was closed. Mike made arrangements with James to come in to show us some homes. What surprised us right off the bat is that today’s modular homes were not the trailers of the past they are built to the same spec and quality of a house. Modern construction with 2 x 6 framing extremely nice finishing really made it exactly like a house which really it is, it just sits on a metal frame. From there we decided to have a unit built through Eagle Homes/Moduline.
From the beginning dealing with Mike , we just had a very good feeling. He was very helpful and responsive to all of our inquiries, believe me, we had a lot. It is worth mentioning that our needs were for an off grid home, not something that Eagle Homes was used to dealing with often. Mike and Krystal worked with the manufacturer to make sure that our off grid needs were incorporated into the house, accommodation for wood heating, on demand hot water, and backup heating were all incorporated.
Mike’s response to emails, phone calls and texts were more than timely and the whole building process was made very simple. Throughout the process we also worked with Krystal who was also extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with, like Mike her follow up to our questions and needs were immediate. The continuity between Mike and Krystal was seamless, one filling in for the other when either was not available. Krystal was also extremely helpful in getting all of our questions answered as it pertained to what needed to be done with RDEK.
We took delivery of our home this summer. Everything went very smoothly. There were a couple of issues with the house, things that were not quite right from the manufacturer. Mike and the team at Eagle Homes made sure that issues were resolved and there was never a feeling that we would have to deal with the hassle or the cost of those fixes. Eagle Homes took care of it immediately without question.
Fast forward to October and the start of cold season. Our home is performing very well. Before we got into the negative temperatures we would have a fire in the woodstove for a few hours in the morning and the house would be warm for the rest of the day into the evening. Our plan was not to use the furnace unless we had to go out of town for a period of time, and that would be our sole source of heat. Seeing how the house is performing thus far, it seems like this will be no problem.
The last thing we would like to add is a shout out for Dusty. Dusty is another great member of Eagle Homes. Dusty installed the skirting on the house, as well as fixing anything that may have been damaged in transit and even releveling our house after a bit of a settling. Dusty did it all, the quality of his work, his reliability to be there when we need it and his communication was awesome, but at this point no surprise as James has built an awesome team, well done.
We would highly recommend if you’re looking at a modular/manufactured home to talk to Eagle Homes, guaranteed, you will not be disappointed.
