Fairmont Homes Review

Fairmont Homes is a manufactured home designer and builder based in Nappanee, Indiana. They primarily work on manufactured homes though they also build park model homes and modular homes. Additionally, Fairmont Homes is a member of Cavco's network of manufactured home builders. 

Aesthetically, homes from Fairmont Homes largely focus on traditional architecture. However, homes feature refined designs that can be personalized with different design and finish packages. However, with more than 85 manufactured home plans currently for sale, individuals have several options to choose from. These range from 1 bed, 525 square foot homes up to 4 bed, 2,330 square foot homes. It is worth mentioning though, that because Fairmont Homes primarily sells their homes via a network of sales centers, not all floor plans may be available in your area. They currently work with a network of over 200 distributors throughout the Central U.S.

When choosing a home from Fairmont Homes, there are several things buyers should consider. From a design standpoint, their homes come standard with finished interiors that can be personalized. In particular, individuals can choose interior elements like flooring, backsplashes, and cabinets as well as exterior finishes like siding, roofing, and shutters. And logistically, their houses can easily be installed as on-site manufactured homes, modular homes, or park model RVs.

Once individuals buy their home from a Fairmont Homes sales center, the local retailer is responsible for coordinating the project: ensuring design changes are made, managing site preparations, and coordinating home installation. Exact timing on receiving your home depends on Fairmont Homes’s manufacturing schedule at the moment and the availability of local contractors in your area to prepare the building site and install the home.

Strengths:

  • Have a long operating history

  • Offer a wide variety of floor plans and can even build modular homes as well as park model RVs

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • You are looking for greater customization options

  • You are located far away from their singular manufacturing facility and shipping costs make them more expensive than competitor builders
