My parents bought one of these several years ago and still standing strong. It’s warm and have had no issues besides the furnace, failed after 2 years. I’d buy one.
Their Great But They also Have SQUEAKY Floors, and their Not in anyway Way interested in Fixing The Issues after 3 Years of Purchase !!! This has Been the Only Set Back !!!! They should Have a Crew just to Repair Squeaky Floor Issues, Charge the Consumer But Charge a Fair Price for the Repair would Be Nice !!!
Great detailing video. Reassuring customers and fans of mobile homes.
Thank u Jacobs’ 🏠 ❤️👌🏾
Thank you for sharing!!!❤
Sounded pretty good when they said 2by8 floor joists then they said 5/8 tongue and groove OSB👎 if you buy a manufactured home from them ask them if they would block each side of the floor Bay where your toilet is going to sit on!
I love my modular home and it was built in 2004 and it is my dream retirement home .I would go factory built again if need be .You have a set price and no over run cost .I had my steel frame left on even though my house is on a basement .It makes the floor feel more solid over any stick built .It is stick built
As others have said, @4:50 love the gaps at the bottom of the studs.
Prefab homes are great....there is lot of precision in dimensions... perfection in installation....very cautious in designing for Electrical wiring, pipe line for water... Gas line. I liked much as lesser use of cement... bricks.
It all depends on the manufacturer. All of these are built to a price point, usually, you get what you pay for but I would research the homes and find reviews from people that have owned them for a long period of time as well as the newer homes because quality can change over time in the construction business.
I’ve been comparing Jacobsen homes to Palm Harbor homes. A couple of key points is Palm Harbor uses 2X10 floor joists and 3/4” tongue and groove
I heard and seen a lot of mobile home manufacturers use 2by6 floor joist
I've seen mobile home manufacturers use 2 x 6 floor joist 🤷🏻♂️
Thumbs up from me!!!
It's always a good idea to paint over rust on the steel frame.
These mobile homes seem to be built to a much higher standard than most mobile homes, I'm guessing it's because of hurricane standards in the state of Florida. This home would last a lifetime in the state of Alabama. If you set this home on a real foundation it would last just like a normal house. But remember not all mobile homes are created equal.
Looks good to me
If I were to build a house, I would start with a poured concrete foundation with reinforcing screen/mesh. On top of that would be placed 2x6 hickory studs on 16" centers and the bottom framing bits would be bolted to the foundation. To form the exterior walls, I would use oak or hickory tongue and groove (tongue in groove) shiplap. The entire house would be home wrapped. The roof trusses would also be of a hardwood like oak or hickory and they would be bracketed to the wall framing. The flooring and the roof sheathing would be made of quality plywood. I would use closed-cell spray foam insulation.
Very expensive house but well built and will last for many years
I love trailer houses aka Manufactured Homes
Me too
Factory built modular homes is the future of the housing industry .
No they're not.
Ah yes grab the insulation with your bear hands
Nice homes.
I noticed a lot of gaps between the joinery and the plastic water lines with metal clamps are a mistake. "less likely to leak"....I had a leak in a guest bathroom which caused $3200,00 in damage and required me to replace all floor insulation. When I did that I found that EVERY joint in similar plumbing had leaked. I replaced all of it with PVC.
Pvc up here in Pennsylvania is the wrong choice as they burst! Ive had my pex go through 3 freeze thaw cycles this winter with absolutely no leakage! Pvc has burst on me twice! Oh and they are insulted and have heat tape but 20 blow wins every time
@@herbhall3830 I can see why it would not work there, being in South Georgia I don't have that issue. We all have to find what works for us in our respective locations.
I have installed a few bath tubs doing remodeling . The new faucets always leak and I solder them. I wonder how many people walled them up with a slow drip in a confined space.
In something so small would it really be that much more to just use copper and never worry
At 4:54 check out the gap between the studs and bottom plate and vapor barrier between the osb and siding so moisture will attack the wood promoting rot and mold growth and also I couldn't help notice all of the OSHA violations in this video worker not wearing PPE while handling insulation, standing on the top of a step ladder especially without fall protection 😂
I noticed the same thing! Forget Jacobson Homes!
And what size is the osb sheathing for the roof on my trailer i need to replace my sheathing and shingles Sir
Site built homes have been going on since homes have been built. a certain amount of moister in wood helps it. As far as mold, I have never heard of a home having mold from the wood being wet while building it, and I have several carpenters in my family. The whole fight with master carpenters and prefabbed homes is materials. For instance, my cousin won't use anything less than 2x10 floor joist, with 3/4 plywood, not osb or particle board. Roof trusses are also done with no less than 2x6 and are steel strapped at every connection. He went to several prefabbed homes and had to strengthen the roof as well as secure it, two never even had access to the attic, because they won't allow you to store in it. This does of course cost more, but you get what you pay for, problem is, why buy cheap on the structure of a home? Cabinets, windows etc. can all be changed later, cut costs there. If you have to gut the whole home to fix structural issues, why not pay more from the get go, it saves in the long run....
be careful in the keys escalating prices on set up collumns
I don't like sheet rock or conventional vertical paneling.So,is there a horizontal paneling system that looks like a summer resort cabin,for the walls. Also on the ceilings. And need a regular wider ceiling molding..
We can do one or two feature wall with ship lap, but not the entire house. This is something that you may be able to add to your home at a later date.
man that's nice.
Interesting how many times the narrator referred to the competitions "inferior" materials!
damn I should went too that company looks way better
do your workers each have their own trade or does everybody do everything?
4:53 - studs not carrying load to bottom plate.
The studs are nailed to the top and bottom plate
looks like a 3/16 gap between stud and bottom plate
@@jacobsenhomes1347
@@jacobsenhomes1347 the stud bottoms were cut crooked. leaving a gap on the inside. at the beginning the steel frames were horribly rusted before they were coated with the black coating.. coating won't' stop that.. you may want to build a sand blasting box to slide the raw steel thru and sand blast it from all sides to get rid of the rust before you cut it. it might be a sliding box instead of sliding the steel.. rollers on each side of the entry and exit points.
@@waynep343 " coating won't' stop that." Actually, it depends on the coating. There are coatings out there now that bond with the rust and turn it into a shell, kind of like M&M's. lol. Not sure what they are using but it is available. "... we have the technology..."
@@waynep343 they should be using something like corten steel that is meant for sea water exposure. but their probably using the cheapest Chinese steel available.
im seeing that the walls are only stapled in instead of being nailed in .. WHY??
They're built like a house, nails are stronger than staples
I have a 2005 trailer it 14x68 foot trailer what size is the studs in the trailer walls and the studs facing the outside walls i think the walls facing outside is 1)1)2 by 3)1/2 wide studs but i don't know what size is the walls inside walls i think they 1 1)2 studs i don't know Sir
Beautiful,well built home! That's the way to do it!
Go look at the better business complaints we were going to buy from them but after looking how they handle problems after they have your money there is no way we would buy a Jacobsen
Well Michael , perhaps with time you will realize just how stupid that comment is, when I was involved with this type of housing (years ago now ,thank goodness),older complete strangers would come up to me ,near tears , begging for anyone to help repair totally unrepairable piles of junk they had invested in.
That looks so cheap!! What is the real price?
I debated on building a home or buying a manufactured home.
Overall, after inspecting many models and other floor plans I made my decision 15 years ago and I have no regrets and have been very pleased with my 2001 Karsten K-20 Estate Series. 1,980 sq ft. Beautiful layout for my farm setting. It’s a 3 bedroom 2 bath. Has 9 ft ceilings. All taped and textured. Skylights. Heavy framing. A 3.5 ton a/c unit. Premium upper and lower molding trim. Not once have I and other Karsten K-20 & K-30 (triple wide) have experienced mice in the house. That’s how well the home is built. No other manufacturer comes close.
i saw the process for those Karsten homes, they are way better built.
Would've saved much more energy and much stronger if the they used 2' closed cell foam in the roof, walls and floor.
What is that weird control panel for AutoCAD @ 1:42 ?
It is a digitizer designed for us.
Very informative. It gave me new respect for manufactured homes. However, I noticed that the people you had spraying the loose insulation were not wearing breathers. Not a good idea.
Hello. I have to buy the land. Could you inform me what kind of lot i must buy to set a houle like that? Thank you
Andrea, if you can tell me what city in Florida you are interested in, I can refer you to a retail center that can help you with selecting your property. It might be best to email me at info@jachomes.com
Contact Jacobson Homes for the information you are seeking!
8:33 We make nail plates
A little secret here, just after the cameras left, they went back to building the houses with Elmer's Glue and Duct Tape.
And thousands of staples.
We ran out of alpha glue and used elmers for like 3 weeks I feel so bad for those buyers
@@pugetsoundfarmer you use less staples so you can rip it apart and do change orders that come in 3 days afrer you start building it lol
Price please...
The vapor barrier is not going to do a very good job if it is installed after the drywall is already up. Would be nice if they had plastic vapor barrier and none faced insulation
the workers are educated
Why no house wrap?
We now have house wrap standard on all of our homes.
@@jacobsenhomes1347 thank you for responding.
Ice unit to make the house , do you deliver in New Jersey ?
Unfortunately, we only build homes for Florida. Good luck with your new home search.
I live in Florida. It will cave in after a good snow storm. I been on trailer roofs where they have a metal roof with nothing at all under it.. He says they used 7/16 on the roof . I am originally from Conn They require 3/4 = 12/16
@@harrybriscoe7948 Our homes are built for Florida weather, were we do not have snow storms.
What's the cost to a 2000 sq ft home. 4bed rooms and 2 bath rooms
Shane, If you can tell me where in Florida you are looking for a new home, I can refer you to a retail center that will be able to give you pricing information.
@ 4:46 Look at that quality cut!
While the finished product looks great. I worry about their construction. Even in the video. You can see the window frames are not to code. With double king posts on one side. An a single king post on the other. Meaning the window isn't properly supported. Much less secure for installation.
Y pueden entregar en cualquier frontera de Texas con Mexico?y si puede enviar información de equipamiento y diferentes modelos y precios.
Saludos y buenas noches
We only build homes for Florida
@@jacobsenhomes1347 ok thanks a lot God bleass you
Wouldn't pass in Northern Michigan as far as insulation.
Forgot to mention that type of plumbing , a metal clamp or clip to secure the fittings will fail ....cost me thousands !!
I got the copper colored clamps on mine! I say colored cause they dont feel like copper but ive had mine on through 3 freeze thaw cycles this winter with absolutely no leakage!
Yup mine had the grey flexible pipe that was clamped together and it leaks and breaks very easily I was told it's not even code anymore
@@supertrucker12916 This is PEX, the grey stuff you have is Polybutylene, which is known to fail. PEX is good stuff.
Do you deliver the homes to All State
Shane, we only build homes for Florida
Does anyone use plywood for anything anymore?
Not much from what ive seen!
it is too expensive any more
All the old big hardwood trees are gone. New tree growth is week and is logged now. So they make chip board now.
@Steven Soco Gotcha
I am looking at buying a Jacobsens just wondering what is done to prevent termites?
You need to have the ground treated. Also, if you will be putting on a site build porch, have the dirt inside the porch treated.
You have to elevate houses off the ground with cement blocks. Building code will guide you
Please don't be stupid enough to buy this crap. These arehorrible !!!
I'm curious. It looked like they were using an awful lot of staples. Is that really ok?
Yes, our homes are build in accordance with the Federal Building Code
Ever heard of nail guns? That is what they are using...not staples.
I'm pretty sure they are staples. I've seen how they make these. @@maried3717
@@williambissell794 I see that now..
But no house wrap
I see a few things that aren't very good and i would find another manufacture since i am a welder by trade and i see spraying paint over rusted material is a NO NO Sand blasting and Using a Epoxy resin sealer then painting it for a lasting frame. And pink fiber glass Insulation is a Moister holder that will rot the floor joints. I find the the Rock Wool made from Stone and Steel slag from the metal making process a better insulation in Damp area's It's flame proof to 2100 f and is doesn't lose it R value when it get damp like Pink fiberglass does because it repels water. Rock Wool is a more dense Batt and isn't itchy to use and Safe (allergenic) for kids with breathing problems. OSB may be cheap but I look for Quality in a product i buy and OSB is not that, I've replaced Roofs that were done with OSB and sagging after 25 years from snow loads and summer heat changes under the shingles. OSB rotting under the vinyl siding to the point you can push your finger through it, Plywood would be More better in both these situation and stronger down the road. Selling a product that is made with the idea that the outside makeup will hide the under carriage is not a sound business for long term. I worked in the industrial of welding frames like that for Large 40 foot roll off's and we took the time to sandblasted them before we painted them and i have had to fix Insulation problems and home roof problem left fro so called home builder building new home for the last 40 years.
OSB is stronger than regular plywood the problem is not the product it's in the quality of the product and people who are putting it on .
@@thomasvincent9027 Not my experience over the last 30 years Plywood doesn't sag on roofs between the Truss like OSB has in the past, if plywood get wet and drys out it retains it's strength but i have Seen my self put my fingers right through a exterior house wall because it got wet from sweating under vinyl siding, I have never had the problem with Plywood.
I built 48 x 90 triple wide using 40 foot shipping containers. I welded 4 high cube containers to a 14. X 90 trailer leaving a 10 foot center gap. I plasma cut the inner walls before hand to match the floor plan. Used the left over material to bridge the roof gaps and cut in my door ways. I faced the door ends together on 8 of the 12 containers. I offset the center 4 containers so that I could have a 10 x 16 privacy porch off of my master bedroom and bathroom. I'm 8 months into this build and never had to use one nail. Pick up a 1 or 3 14x90 trailer frames and 4, 8 or 12 shipping containers. You'll save yourself lots of $$
Jacobson isn't about quality, it's about profit and cutting corners.
Rockwool is superior but it costs twice as much as fiberglass, worth it. Rockwool is hydrophobic ( repells water). It is insect resistant, fire resistent and sound deadening
whats the r value of these walls?
The standard wall insulation is R-11, you can upgrade to R-19
Very nice computer cut 2x4 not cut straight on the bottom plate. Don't let anyone fool you about quality control......haha bam bam bam bam with the staple gun....tootin their own horn
Не увидел гидроизоляции на стенах
How much for a 5 bed room
If you can tell me where in Florida you are thinking of purchasing a new home, I can refer you to a retail center that will be able to give you pricing information.
WHY DO THEY HAVE TO HAVE SO MANY STAIRS COMPARED TO OTHER BRANDS??
I LIKE, CZECH REPUBLIC
No house wrap?! Indeed stronger materials than others. Poor floor insulation and weatherproofing. Depending on how much it is, it can be a viable alternative.
We now have house wrap standard on all of our homes.
@@jacobsenhomes1347 What year did you start house wrapping?
@@jmccoppen Beginning in April, 2016
@@jacobsenhomes1347 why didnt you use house wrap to begin with? Makes no sense, and can cause horrible problems.
@@themotorcycleguy5980 Building inspectors must have prodded them
Still a trailer. And good luck getting a home, finding a place to set it, and like a trailer, watch it depreciate unlike a site built home.
I'd take that piece of iron off the bottom of it and set it on a foundation and what would be the difference?
It's not on wheels. Trailers are on wheels. Mortgage companies will finance MANUFACTURED homes because they are built to stricter standards than stick built homes.
@Steven Soco no, she is correct. Mortgage companies will finance a manufactured home. Just talked to one 4 weeks ago and they had no issues with financing a manufactured home. The loans are different, but the interest rate was dead on comparable to an on site house.
OSB is terrible for flooring. I built my shed from is, and it's cheap and fine for a shed, but usually wont hold up to the elements. It shouldnt be allowed in homes. I'd suggest that IF you buy a manufactured home, custom build it without using OSB. Have them use real plywood instead. Itll cost a few grand more, but 15 years later, itll be well worth it
@@maried3717 I think you may be miss informed. The vast majority of site-built homes are normal "stick-built" homes. The construction crews and the General Contractor along with the architect's specifications are what determines the quality of the build. Site built homes are financed through mortgage companies or a bank mortgage department. It makes no difference if you buy a Manufactured home or a regular site-built home as far as getting the mortgage is concerned. That is just what the loan is called on homes to put is simply.
I owned a mobile home park and all the "trailors" (homes ?) in it . Then spent years trying to keep them together and rented. I lost the fight they fell apart quicker than I could fix them. My advice ,do yourself a favor and have nothing to do with mobile homes they are a rip off. Not to mention people who rent them will become your enemy determined to make life hell. That type of flooring should be outlawed ,it has a very short use by date. So don't listen to me , buy it and see how you feel in 10 years .
How old were the homes in your community? I recently sold my mother's 25 year old Jacobsen Home for more than she paid for it. It did not fall apart.
My mobile home is more than 50 yrs old and its still standing! Not a jacobson but it is a trailer none of the flooring is original and neither are the walls now it has sheet rock instead of paneling! The outside had vinyl siding put on years ago improperly as are the ones in this video! Stapling should never be done as the slotted mounting points are slotted to allow movement as it shrinks and expands due to conditions outside! Always use siding nails or screws in the center of the slot! And never fully tighten them to allow movement! You can not get that with staples
I agree I rented mobile homes myself I bought 8 brand new 14x80 3 bedroom 2 bath mobile homes I now own one and that's the one I live in they constantly had problems the roof leak the plumbing leaks the manufacturer was a nightmare to deal with for repairs I sold the units to the tenants and now I just rent the lots renting mobile homes was a nightmare
My sister has a Fleetwood and we're constantly helping her put it back together. And just when you think you have a plan on how to repair, you get into the job and realize there are 10 other problems. They are complete junk. People should just buy a small stick built and they could add on later if needed and they will be much better off in the long run.
These are not mobile home. They are prefabricated homes and once built do not move. There is no connection between these types of homes and the trailers in mobile home parks. It’s a great idea to build homes under factory controlled conditions inside out of the weather. Less waste and easier quality control. I agree that mobile homes are shit and are a poor investment but these are not that.
We’re can I contact you ? Do i sell them on sites ?
You can contact us at info@jachomes.com . We are the manufacturer and do not sell retail. There are retail centers and communities throughout Florida that sell our homes: www.jachomes.com/Find-a-Model-Center
Do you guys ship overseas?
Unfortunately, no. We only build homes for Florida.
@@jacobsenhomes1347 Thank God for that !! You still in business ?
Never trust a company that consistently berates the competition
Not a fan of stick built housing. I have a ICF three storey in PB, FL.
Nice
in europe this house go straigh ti the trach bin
5/8 flooring is no good leaves for a spongy floor get it right
A real shame they are not working on getting the Canadian Park Model sizes as standard in North America. They should also be working on getting these at the same lessor costs as the single-wide models per sqft.
Does Jacobsen ship to Texas?
Unfortunately, we only build homes for Florida. Good luck with your new home search.
DO YOU OPERATE IN IL
Sorry, we only build homes for Florida
can you refer a company in the midwest
@@shanecarroll6035 Your best bet is to google manufactured housing Association in the State you are interested in for referrals.
Are mobile homes built with real home-quality plumbing fixtures?
Yes, they are the products you could buy at any plumbing store
I doubt it, the hoses seem rather flimsy
Am i the only one to notice that they put the frame together with staples instead of nails. Very Cheap Junk !!
I noticed that. Did you see the dude at 4:33 putting 10 nails per corner of the windows frame
Lefty , those staples are used on the marriage wall it’s all glued and it’s 8 inches thick.
How much $$$$$$$?????
Eli, if you can tell me where in Florida you are interested in, I can refer you to a retail center near you that will be able to give you pricing informaton.
Mm I don't know, the house seems rather frail
Funny... he said they are built to higher standards than site built homes? Nah, I think I heard him wrong.😁
Oriented strand board , now that's worth spending your life savings on .......NOT !
they use it because it is dirt cheap compared to decent plywood.
How can you live with yourself knowing that every single home you sold is nothing but complete bullshit. I would rather lose money on a job than cut corners on everything
@@cntslesfabrication to be fair even real houses use OSB. It knocks the prices down and passes savings onto the customer. The only problem is that we are currently in a housing bubble, so those OSB vinyl tract houses are overpriced and under constructed
@@kercchan3307 I wish that were the case in 2021. All wood products are priced through the roof!
if it is on wheels or ever has been ,its not a real house. insulation is "slid in , not nailed so in two years its all at the bottom of the wall??
They say there are no real inspector there. If you have a brand new home building for your very own eyes you will see it for yourself talk to the inspector bu it with these mobile homes I have heard so many nightmares. If they step up the game where the buyer comes with his house inspector to check every area of the house I mean come on it's a damn house your going to live it for the goodness sake it would be a different story.
Ever heard of this: "No company survives the 3rd generation" ??
The two youngest Jacobsens have been working here, one for 8 years and the other 5 years, I guarantee they will be the exception.
Marvin Windows has been around that long. Maybe Jacobsen is the Marvin Windows of manufactured housing.

1980 to 1993 manufactured mobile homes have to be discontinued
I am not sure what you mean?
Controlled work environment, streamlined for efficiency, subpar materials with unskilled labor will still output low quality.
the problem is most cities hate these manufactured and stop building this way......
0:30 lol mobile home propaganda
Lol they keep acting like OSB is some luxury quality product. It’s litterally woodchips glued together. Also I can’t believe the floors are just a laminate sheet glued onto OSB. I imagine that would tear very easily
OSB is what most all manufactured home builders and site builders use. As for the flooring there are several options, not just vinyl flooring.
The quality of OSB depends upon the adhesives. When ongoing water exposure is a problem plywood will eventually delaminate too. You need to protect all wood based products from water. Sometimes the moisture is from condensation caused by air gaps and poor insulation.
That welding looked horrible. There is no way that a professional welder did that job.
My neighbor bought a prefab. Modular home that is second to none! I don't know who he purchased it from, but they did a fantastic job, inside and out!
If my M-home burnt to the ground I bet there would be 5000 lbs of staples 5 screws and 3 nails in the ash...
I had 2 fires at the Mobile Home Park I unfortunately owned. Yes your right but any screws or nails were put in by me. Also mobile homes just don't catch fire ,they explode ! Why are they not totally banned ??
Every company always claims to be better then all the other companies, but yet they all seem to do the same shit
Good god....why make a video showing TERRIBLE fitting and finish work? 4:54. It's unbelievable a company would actually SHOW you this.
Everything in this trailer is crap
The carpenters can't shoot a damn nail to save their lives.
That’s just an ignorant statement
Palm Harbor's mobile homes are far better than these are.
They contract Burns and they are the worst hacks ever.
Lifetime limited warranty you freaking kidding me just say limited warranty this is stupid
limited depending on how it is broken probably aka not limited by time
Seeing fail after fail... Then trashing other companies to try to rise your product over the others is just tanking your image. In house cabinet builders using staples and plastic fasteners = shit.... This video is showing all the reasons NOT to buy at "Jacobsen Home" If you brought Jacobsen back to life I wonder what he would say about his name being attached to this bs....
MANUFACTURED HOMES are not trailers, mobile homes, or modular homes. You will never see a Manufactured home on it's own wheels. They are put on tractor trailers. They are built to stricter standards than site built homes because they are transported by truck. They are placed on foundations and anchored. They are financed by mortgage companies just like a site built house. Some are built to be two stories and assembled after delivery. You can't get a mortgage for the other types of homes, which depreciate in value like cars.
Manufactured homes are built in accordance with the Federal Building Code (HUD), they are set on piers. An off-frame modular home is according to the Florida State Building Codes and is placed on a stem wall and can be financed and insured the same as a site build home.
