Jacobsen Homes Review

Summary of Operations & Manufactured Homes

Jacobsen Homes is a Florida based designer and manufacturer of modular and manufactured homes. Jacobsen Homes’ prefab houses are available throughout Florida, from the Panhandle down to the Keys. As such, their manufacturing and building processes are well-suited for building in this specific geography: homes are built to the strictest building codes, such as wind resistance of up to 180mph in the Keys and homes can also be built on a variety of foundation types, including pilings. The home design offerings of Jacobsen Homes are largely traditional and their standard manufactured home floor plans range in size from 693 - 2,497 square feet.

Traditionally, Jacobsen Homes works with builders and developers on their home projects, though individuals can purchase a home from one of Jacobsen Homes’ 23 partnering retail centers, which are located throughout Florida. Because Jacobsen Homes operates via a distributor model, prices can vary based on the sales center.

Through a network of build partners, Jacobsen Homes can offer turn-key building solutions on their projects. For buyers who are looking for a higher-end product than Jacobsen’s standard offerings, buyers can choose from multiple upgrade packages or homes can be purchased as shell-only, in which case the interior of the home can be finished by a third-party contractor to meet the exact demands of the buyer.

Strengths:

  • Offer turn-key services on their projects

  • Buyers can select from various upgrade packages

  • A long history of building manufactured and modular homes

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • They have received several reviews critical of the quality of their homes

  • You are not located within Florida
