Re: Schult Homes
Hello Alex,
I am not familiar with General but I do know about Schult homes and Schult has a very good reputation in the industry for building a quality home and servicing their customers. Schult also manufacturers, Marlette homes which are marketed to the north west regions. I have some friend that lives in a Marlette home and they added about $6,500 in up-grades to get what they wanted. Their home has ½” sheet rock through out, solid oak cabinets that really look nice, 2x8 floors and 2x6 exterior walls. They spent about $40 per square foot. They did not get a 4-12 roof pitch but they did get a covered porch, which looks nice. Schult/Marlette homes fall into the, “Average Construction Category.” Schult is going after the entry-level to mid-range buyers and I feel they do a good job and don’t rush their home through the factory. I would recommend a Schult/Marlette home but you will have to add about $3,500 to $5,000 in up-grades to be in the quality category on average. A Schult/Marlette home costs between $30 to $45 per square foot. Marlette was purchased by Oakwood homes a few years ago and many felt the quality would suffer because of it. I haven’t seen this yet and feel they are producing a good product for the money. Marlette was considered 10 years ago to be the best of the best but over the years they have slipped somewhat but still a quality company. Schult/Marlette have some very attractive floor plans with covered porches and garage ready applications. When I was selling Valley’s in Washington State my fearses compeditor was Marlette. They had attrative floor plans with site-built construction features at affordable prices. I like this company and would recommend them if you’re an entry-level to mid-range buyer. They do offer some upper-end models with residential appeal but you’ll probably spend $45 a square foot or more. Hope this helps and don't forget to buy my book on this web site.
