Steel Piers vs. Concrete Blocks

[rhondahogg]

Hello,
My husband and I are first-time manufactured home buyers, and we're looking for some advice.

The home we're purchasing will be set on steel piers (similar to jack stands) rather than concrete block supports. Is this generally considered a better option?

Our purchase agreement also states that we'll be responsible for any future releveling of the home. We're concerned that this type of foundation might require frequent adjustments or become an ongoing maintenance issue.

If anyone has experience with steel piers versus concrete blocks, or with releveling manufactured homes in general, we'd really appreciate your advice. Thanks!
