Modular Home Testimonials
It can be difficult to find a homebuilder you can trust with your special piece of land. That's why, when choosing a builder, we encourage you to ask other people about their experiences. When you do ask around, you’ll find that most people who've built custom modular homes with us are very happy with the result. We constantly gather stories from our many customers and you can read some of them below.
Steve & Alice - Caledonia, OH
"On Sunday, January 4th, Steve and I lost our home and all its contents to a chimney fire. A month later, after going through all the roller coaster emotions related to the disaster, we found ourselves in a car with our friends, Valery and Jeff. They were taking us to Williamsburg Square in Frazeysburg, Ohio to look at factory crafted houses. Truly, Steve and I were not too sure about nontraditional stick built houses, but we tried to be open minded.
After a tour of the onsite houses, agent Scott Richards showed us the rendition of a Nationwide Custom house, the Haywood II. Steve and I looked at each other and said “we could live in this one”, as we were so impressed with it.
A few weeks later, we met with Mark Kelly at the Nationwide Design Center in Jeffersonville, Ohio. Mark spent hours showing us the many features and choices available to us from the outside siding to the inside door knobs. He encouraged us to travel to Martinsville, VA to see the factory and our new house.
On June 5th, we met with Tommy Rakes who guided us through the Virginia factory; then we saw our house. We were so impressed with both!!
The big day finally arrived; June 18th, our house was set on our basement foundation and on August 20th, we slept in our beautiful new Nationwide “home”.
It was an amazing experience, thanks Williamsburg Square and Nationwide Custom Homes
for building our house, while we healed emotionally and rebuilt our “home”.

Michael, AIA, CONNARCHITECTS - Tallahassee, FL
"Thank you for all your efforts towards making my coastal house a reality. As you know, the coastal area of south Tallahassee, Florida is isolated from major building supply houses, accommodations, and food services - thus complicating the demands of labor. It is for these reasons and more that I chose to use Nationwide Custom Homes. Not only did the house arrive equipped to handle the high wind conditions of the area, but also afforded me with a nearly - completed home on the first day.
I appreciate your time in teaching me about your company's product and used the knowledge to design the perfect coastal home for our family. The impact to the local environment was minimal and the house never received a drop of rain inside. We considered other systems-built manfacturing plants in the Southeast, and chose Nationwide Custom Homes for the quality of product, sales knowledge and engineering support."

"We will have been in our Nationwide home six years next month. We just wanted to share how much we have enjoyed it. It is a well built home and a pleasure to live in."
John & Michelle - Midlothian, VA
"My wife and I had already chosen to build the "Tradition" with Lew Combs at Cornerstone Home Builders Inc. on our property in Chesterfield, VA before the event, but couldn't resist the chance to see our home in the plant being constructed. We took the plant tour and our home was about half way through the process. I am Nationwide's biggest advocate in our local area and after seeing the process up close, I really don't know why one would choose to build any other way. It literally is Henry Ford's assembly line all over again.
The build is a fulfillment of a life long dream of mine as it will be located on our property which has been handed down for five generations. We feel we are not just building a house, but a home that will become a part of our legacy and a permanent part of the landscape on our family farm. Thank you for helping to make that possible.

Rod & Ruth - Salisbury, NC
"We met with Mark Day and couldn't be happier. Mark spent a ton of time with Ruth and I and answered all of our questions. Mark should get a raise for the way we were treated. Bob Loflin and Mark Day are the reason we are buying a Nationwide home. I am very, very impressed with your entire staff. Great people and very customer service oriented. I have worked for another competitor and would recommend Nationwide over any other modular on the market. Very impressed with the staff, construction, and customer follow up. We will be placing our order hopefully this month. We have our home under contract and just need to close a couple of items to push towards closing.
We're looking forward to a long relationship with Nationwide.

Jack - VA
"Sometimes things work out better than imagined. When we started this project with Nationwide we, like most every home buyers, hoped that we made the right choice. Time has proven us correct. In fact, the entire process worked out smoother than we expected -
In 1994 we had a home stick built with a great builder and it was a very smooth, enjoyable process. This past project was equally pleasant and a bit quicker. Our home is also constructed, without doubt, more solidly. These 6 inch walls are great!
Our house was built with the materials we specified.This sort of commitment and integrity during tough times speaks volumes about Dennis and Nationwide. When small things were brought to Dennis's attention, he has always moved swiftly and decisively to make things right.
It is refreshing, and reassuring, to work with people who honor their word and conduct their business with integrity.

Jean & Frank - Smith Mountain Lake, VA
"When we made the decision to build a modular home with Nationwide Custom Homes, it was probably the best decision we have jointly made in 50 years of marriage!! Nationwide came highly recommended from our daughter-in-law, Nicole, and she was 100% correct. The Smith Mountain Lake team of Len Partridge, Linda DePierro, and Dawn Lane took our wants and wishes, as vague as they were, and turned them into a most beautiful home that fulfilled our wishes to the utmost. Every time we look at it, it becomes more lovely and beautiful, and we are reminded just what a professional team can accomplish. The setting of the house on the foundation was an event to see and enjoy. Every person there had job to do and did it extremely well. The house arrived around 11:00, and by 6:00 it was set and weather proof, locked and safe. What an accomplishment!! During construction, Darrell Craig attended to us like we were his own children, and I guess in some ways, we were. He is the utmost in professionalism, showing devoted care and concern for us and our new home, making sure we were happy and the house was as near perfect as it could be made to be, while at the same time protecting the interests of Nationwide. All of the sub-contractors were real professionals and we enjoyed meeting each and every one and are appreciative of the excellent work they performed. THANKS Nationwide, for a job well done, quality-wise, professionally, and timely. "

"Dear Nationwide Custom Homes,
We would like to share with you our exceptional experience as repeat (two-time) Nationwide customers.
Eight years ago, we had the pleasure and satisfaction of building our first Nationwide Home with an independent builder. It was a recent job relocation that placed us in the position of having to sell that home and needing to acquire a new home and we knew that we wanted to build again. Although, we did consider the competition and explored our options with other builders, it was our first meeting with the staff at the Smith Mountain Lake office that made such an indelible impression that we were confident that Nationwide was the best and only choice to build our home again. The personal attention that Len Patridge, Linda DePierro, and Dawn Lane gave our family of 8 (2 parents and 6 kids) was remarkable. Having to drive over an hour to get to the office, we arrived less than an hour from closing. Without regard for time or consideration for their own personal commitments or obligations, they reached out to our family and patiently spent two hours listening to our needs and working with us to come up with a home that fit our family and budget. It was their knowledge, experience, and insight that guided and assured us that we would indeed have the dream home that we were looking for.
In addition, the commitment and devotion they brought to building our home made us realize and know that we weren’t just another “job” to them, but it made us constantly aware that they were working solely on our behalf and in our best interest. We were living in our camper during our entire homebuilding process, and Darrell Craig, our construction manager, made it his personal mission to get our family into “permanent” housing and in our home for the holidays. His coordinated efforts and diligence got us into our new home in less than two months from the time they broke ground.
Truly, the people who work from the Smith Mountain Lake office are extraordinary people and are a rare find. They are the type of people who represent companies well, give their companies a good reputation, and make their companies great. And when individuals like them, go above and beyond the call of duty and go the “extra mile” to get the job done, it is our personal belief that it would be inexcusable not to commend them and “give honor to whom honor is due.” We will forever consider the staff and contractors at the SML office our family friends, and should the need arise to build yet another home, there is no doubt to whom we will turn to get the job done.
We are also taking the liberty of sending a picture of our new Nationwide Home, and it is our hope that you would take comfort in knowing that we have been well served by your company representatives at Smith Mountain Lake.
Sincerely,
The Harris Family

Roger - VA
"My wife and I had our “walk through” with Dennis Mercier this morning, yes, New Year’s Eve. I realize that 2008 has been a difficult year in all aspects of our economy. However, even during those difficult times, our house was delivered approximately 30 days after we signed a contract with Nationwide and it was completed in just 4 weeks after it was delivered, including the holidays. From start to finish, it was only 2 months, wow!
What attracted my wife and I to Nationwide was not just the home itself, but that we were dealing directly with a Nationwide representative. It instilled confidence in the working relationship throughout the process.
I just wanted to let you know that it has been a pleasure working with Dennis and we wanted to express our appreciation for his customer service and helpfulness throughout the process.

"Thanks for setting up the tour. The tour really impressed me with the superb quality of Nationwide's construction. Seeing is believing. I am very confident that our home is extremely well built and crafted by people who take a lot of pride in their work. "
Julie - VA
"I just wanted to write and tell you how much we appreciate everything that you all are doing to accomadate our wishes and requests and everything that you all are doing to get us into our home as soon as possible. When the issue about the windows came up, to tell the truth, I was disturbed about it, BUT your concern for our satisfaction and your clear expression that our happiness was your priority was such a great consolation and relief. Nationwide continues to prove over and over again through people like you, Linda, Dawn, Darrell and all of Nationwide's contractors and through its superior product, excellent service, and concern for customer satisfaction, why they were the best choice to build our home."
Michael O'Brien - VA
"I had worked out the financing ahead of time and I knew that every week I could save was real money. I had a neighbor who was building a house at the same time and it took six months. Five months of savings was huge. It helped us get into a modular house we could afford. "
Ray & Terry Long - Cornelius, NC
"We are extremely pleased with how it came out. We would definitely recommend Nationwide to anyone building a new home. "
Kris Mann - Cordele, GA
"I waited a long time to make this happen. As a single mother, I didn't think I could make the dream of having my own home a realty. My local builder and Nationwide made it happen. My boys and I are so extremely happy to be in a modular home of our own, just right down the block from their grandparents. "
Nick & Julie Taylor - Wirtz, VA
"My husband and I were transferred from England to Virginia. We were in a time crunch. The new school year was approaching. We met our deadline and were able to get into our beautiful, brand-new Nationwide modular home in about a third of the time than if we had used conventional on-site construction. "
Larry & Desiree Long - Columbia, MD
"My family and I were delighted at the amount of options we were able to choose for our modular home. It was far more than what other builders were offering. We were able to get everything we wanted and more. "
John & Elaine Woodson - Key West, FL
"As a building inspector for the city of Key West, Florida, I was thoroughly impressed with the quality construction methods and building materials used in the modular home. Nationwide Custom Homes and my local contractor, Bob, did an excellent job. My wife and I are very glad we made the decision to build a Nationwide home."
Jennifer and Justin Durkee - Arrington, VA
"Hello- Justin and I would like to thank you again for all that you have done for us and we are very very pleased with our NEW Nationwide Custom home. We love it! Thanks again and hope you have more customers to buy a Glendale!!!! "
Gene Morris - Durham, NC
"My wife and I could not be happier with the professional and friendly way that Bob Peters, Jim Lynham and Quentin Smalls have addressed our concerns and issues. I am especially appreciative of the way they have taken such a personal interest in our home and continue to do so. These men are caring professionals and are a credit to your company. Our home is beautiful and my family is thrilled to finally be “home.” Again I want to thank you and your company for meeting my family’s needs. Nationwide Custom Homes has a lifelong satisfied customer. "
