Homes of Merit was founded by Chuck Weeder in 1973. Chuck had a vision to create a company that produced quality HUD-code manufactured homes. In 1973, his company produced approximately 2.5 million dollars in sales. In 1984, Homes of Merit production capabilities had reached a maximum in the now 3 plants. Orders for homes were so strong they were not able to build the homes fast enough. The company expanded into Lake City, Florida and production began in 1985. Another plant was built in 1988 next to the existing plant in Lake City, Florida to keep up with sales. In 1996 in response to strong sales and the desire to move into a different product line, plant 3 was built. As a result of its growth, Homes of Merit has become the largest single location producer in the State of Florida. Because of tremendous success Homes of Merit was acquired by Champion Enterprises in January of 1999.

When trying to select a modular home the
first place to start is at the factory level. Knowing which factories
deliver to your area is the first step in understanding your options.
The second and most important step is determining how the factories
compare to each other in the areas of: Quality Construction,
Design/Style, Appraised Value and Price.
The manufactured housing industry has made some serious
improvements in recent years regarding quality construction and
residential appeal. With modern day technology and assembly line
techniques, the industry is overcoming the misconception that
manufactured homes are poorly built and don’t measure up to stick-built
homes.

securing a good deal. We have spoken with hundreds of modular home

modular home. Not surprising with all the choices one must make from
negotiating with your builder to purchasing property and
site-improvements. This resource will reveal important negotiating
secrets and dealer profit margins that will give you an edge when
negotiating with your builder.
Most modular home builders have display models for
potential home buyers to walk through. These models are professionally
decorated to impress buyers with elaborate decorations, elegant
furniture and dazzling floorplans. Aesthetics are important but would
you purchase a modular home based on looks and compromise structural
integrity? Don’t be fooled by appearances and miss what really matters;
“Quality Construction.”
