"My daughter and son-in-law purchased a home from Cousin Gary in Chico. Here's how it went... Good communication when they are trying to make a sale. Complete and utter lack of communication once that sale was made. Purchased in Jan 2019. Cash deposited in Escrow for the entire cost. After multiple calls with zero response to find out the status, they had go in person to the showroom the week before it was delivered in early June 2019 to know WHEN it was going to be delivered. In order to get ANY communication from Cousin Gary's, Josie or Bob, they had to show up in the office in person. Period. Phone calls were not answered or returned. Once the home was delivered in early June 2019, the family planned a celebration for July 4 - wasn't complete; Labor day - wasn't complete. Thanksgiving - wasn't complete. Christmas - wasn't complete. New Year's - wasn't complete. SEVEN MONTHS of lack of communication, lack of follow through, lack of action. SEVEN MONTHS of commitment after commitment missed. SEVEN MONTHS of run around, broken promises and complete lack of integrity by anyone on behalf of this company. Escrow CLOSED in Oct. The house was NOT completed when escrow closed. On Thanksgiving there was still no eaves, no AC, it wasn't not cleaned and it was set up for natural gas vs propane always on the spec sheet. It took until AFTER Christmas for the cleaning crew to come out. Every time Josie had to be contacted in person in their office and she seemed surprised the her personally committed inspections were not done, her personally committed repairs were not done, her personally committed cleaning crew hadn't shown up...and she'd "personally commit" to getting it done. Zero integrity. The permit EXPIRED without a final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy and had to be renewed. The final inspection was completed today, March 10, 2020 - 14 months after escrow opened, 9 months after delivery. Unless you plan to sit in their office daily to make sure they do what they say they are going to do you should give Cousin Gary a big pass. They turned a highly anticipated new home into a painfully long extended experience."

"Welp, About two years in and we've already experienced a catastrophic failure of the plumbing. Unfortunately a substantial leak has developed under the master bath that has completely saturated the under-structure insulation and destroyed the moisture barrier in that corner of the home. Due to Cousin Gary's contractor Jim Fields Crew , the shipping tongues were stored underneath the home read previous reviews on yelp and have all but completely inhibited access to that location underneath the home. The only way to locate and repair the leak was to completely remove the skirt, associated framing and pull out the shipping tongues. Worse yet, upon removing the insulation, we discovered exposed spools of wire with compromised sheath and uncapped terminal ends that create a significant fire hazard. The only options available to you after your 12 mos warranty is to do the repairs yourself extensive time and labor, not to mention materials or hire a third party contractorplumber capable of working on manufactured home which is going to cost you a large sum of money. A collection of poor craftsmanship from Skyline combined with shod work from the dealers contractor will invariably leave you frustrated and out some coin. I stand by my initial review and recommend avoiding this dealer and the homes they sell. If you do decide to go with their services, you better be diligent within the first year and scrutinize every facet of you home and have it repaired before your warranty expires. Good luck, cause if you go with skyline and cousin Gary homes, your gonna need it."

"Update 92717-Ensure you procure itemized lists that are not vague and ask to see material and labor costs to insure you are getting industry standards for labor rates and material costs. Though you shouldn't have to crawl under your home after purchase, I highly recommend you do so before signing your final draw forms. At no time did the staff at CGH take the initiative and contact us to inquire about our satisfaction with the home, or to address any of the issues with the home. As I stated in my previous review, I was and am not confident that these issues would be addressed in a quality workmanship manner or in a timely manner. I told Josie that the review would remain and suggested that good quality customer service with future clients would inspire them to leave more positive feedback on yelp and render my review, over time, an irrelevant exception. No further entries."

"We got suckered in by the smooth talking salesman at Cousin Gary Homes in Chico. The worst part of the whole thing isn't even the self proclaimed "Over Stressed" Bob, who keeps telling you to relax, and don't over react. Or even the disrespectful, liar of a manager Josie who will tell you that you the customer are wrong. It was the worthless contractor they use. We were lead to believe that they "Cousin Gary Homes"  held 7,000 from the price of the home so we could pay "Their Contractor" directly for "set up and delivery" in order to save us on Taxes... Then he "Jim Fields Construction" submitted a bid to us for 6,500, so we thought we got a great deal. WRONG!!! What they didn't tell us was he still wanted the 7,000 and another 7,600 for the so called foundation blocks "cinder block" because that is apparently not part of set up? So instead of paying 6,500 or even 7,000 we are now paying 15,600 for all the "extra" work such as putting the skirting around the house, or stairs up to the doors so we could get in. This stuff to them is all "EXTRA" the set up and delivery is only getting the two halves to your property and screwing them together.... Oh ya, and I kept a log on how much they actually came out and worked on our house. In the two months it took to get it "set up"  they had a grand total of 62 hours between 3 guys, and we still had to finish the work ourselves...... Jim Fields Construction is a joke!! They must have a contract with Cousin Gary and you are not told you have any other choice, but them."
