Palm Harbor homes - Plant City - Plant City, Florida

First, it took 5 months to look at models from many builders, watching dozens of YouTube Manufactured Home videos (both positive & negative) before settling on Pelican Bay II from Palm Harbor Homes, Plant City.

We spoke with Sales Rep. Rob to look at the models at Palm Harbor Homes. He answered all my endless questions. His humor was welcomed during our meetings which always cut any tension out. A rare thing for a salesman, he was upfront about the long process and how it works. Long as in permits, and inspectors that no one had control over.

Why this type of home, it's made indoors in a factory like an automobile. All the building materials never get wet, unlike site-built homes. Manufactured homes, also once known as mobile homes made before 1977, are built to federal standards and can be moved, while modular homes are built to local standards and are permanently attached to a foundation.

This is not a review of the modular version of the home the family picked, which will be constructed in a few months. But I can tell you we will be on top of the construction and installation of the home.

Our Palm Harbor modular home that was built in 2021 just went through Hurricane Milton. We had sustained winds at our home of 103mph, and our home didn't have a scratch on it when we woke up the next morning. No damage! We love our Palm Harbor Farmhouse Estate modular home! Thank you for building a quality, strong and beautiful home!
Kind Regards
The Womack family

We dealt with PH for more than 6 months after our deposit and initial contract were finalized. Nothing was done…no additional paperwork, no permits (they actually gave us the incorrect address to send the permit application to after our numerous inquiries about the delays), no quotes, nothing! We cancelled our deal because the time in which nothing had been done made our contract null & void. The salesperson was nasty to us & our deposit was not returned. Again…nothing had been done in over 6 months, the contract had become null & void by their neglect…and they still did not return our deposit.
Be cautious in dealing with this company. The salesperson people are smooth talkers and no one seems to want to actually start or complete a job.

Our experience with Palm Harbor homes in Plant City Florida has been five star from day one. Our sales representative, Nelson Williams, was honest, patient and kind throughout our difficult post-Hurricane Ian rebuild. We researched every major home manufacturer in Florida for over a year. After multiple visits to Palm Harbor Homes, Nelson said, “Before you purchase a home, come and see me last. Our product will beat any manufacture on quality, presentation and price.” He was right!

The staff at Palm Harbor have been professional and helpful, working hard and making adjustments to ensure we have the design and details we wanted. We received prompt communication through phone calls and emails throughout the buying and building process. Our home was delivered months earlier than expected and is almost ready for occupancy. The workmanship is beautiful; the quality and curb appeal are unmatched. Thank you, Nelson Williams and Palm Harbor Homes!

We paid for our home cash in full. Palm Harbor did not have a Project Manager to oversee the various contractors they hired. This resulted in miscommunication and poor quality control. The contractor PH hired to clear the land did not compact the dirt where the home would be placed. When PH delivered the home, they did not compact the dirt either. The “plumber” (more like freelance handyman) that PH contracted installed pipe through the neighboring property. When we addressed this with him, he said he “didn’t know it was the neighbor’s property.” We have a tree line to delineate our property and PH should have supplied a survey. He also broke our skirting. Communication from the office was terrible. A friend of ours is working with Clayton Homes and they have a Project Manager on site. Don’t go with Palm Harbor!

If I could give this business a ZERO rating, I would!! My elderly parents ( in their 80’s) made settlement in December 2023 and the list of issues is long!!! The big issues are NO HVAC on left side of the house. They live in SW Florida - this is NOT an option for anyone living here but especially the elderly. It took roughly 5 months for them to figure out that side was not connected. The next large issue were the showers areas, cracks in the enclosures. On the bases and the sides. My Dad needed to silicone the holes to prevent water damages under the enclosures. So many issues to mention!!

There is so much to say but only limited space!!

Communication was ZERO!! They don’t return phone calls or emails.

We got action by putting out HUGE signs all around the house. Pretty much said “Don’t buy one of these”

It took the Management Company- ROOTS to make all of the repairs.

Stay far away from Palm Harbor Homes!!

My name is Michelle and I spoke with Mr. Rob a few weeks ago when I went to look at the models at Palm Harbor Homes. He gave me so much good information and things to think about while also listening to me and understanding my desires. He was also upfront about how the process works while also educating me on a lot of things. I appreciate him for taking the time to instill wisdom in me.

Quite a road. I know this manufacturing company is a good one because I lived in a 1999 one for 10 years before it burnt down in April of 2021. It was due to electrical issues. I have now re purchased a palm harbor home from a third party seller, and the process was incredibly hard. It took a year and 4 months before we had a home back on our lot, and unfortunately what we got was not comparable to what we thought we were receiving. Outlets hanging off walls, unfinished ceilings and walls, (and when I mean unfinished I don't just mean paint , I mean some walls were physically smaller in some areas where my husband by hand had to fix in order for our baseboards to go on properly, and so on) The list goes on. There isn't enough space to even type the miscellaneous issues that STILL continues today. Our home was also sent with a defective jot water heater, defective sink parts underneath kitchen areas, open splits where caulking should be, splits in flooring that are now opening bigger and bigger. Overall dissatisfaction from our family. 😔
