I wanted to add to my previous review of US Modular (I assume they have been renamed to Golden State Construction?) My leaky shower was repaired thanks to one of the girls in their office, Atziri, who has always gone above and beyond to help me. She contacted Clayton Home factory repair and two very nice, professional repairmen came and did a fantastic job. I have no complaints with and nothing but praise for the office staff. They are so professional and helpful I don't know how they work with the so-called contractors. read more

Attention: read this review before you ever consider hiring US Modular to build your home. This company does not build dream homes, they build problems! The workmanship is absolutely abominable! My advice is to find a reputable contractor that actually cares and takes pride in their work. US Modular is only concerned about the money. The craftsmanship is such poor quality and beyond sloppy. I can't comprehend how this company is still in business. They hire workers that do not have even basic construction skills. Shame on you Todd for building junk, and being rude to our new neighbors! The photos included speak for themselves. read more

I live in Los Angeles. Last time I checked, Los Angeles is in Southern California. I reached out to you about building a modular home on a parcel of land in Los Angeles. I haven't lived in Maryland for several years and I have no desire to return. I never asked you about building a house in Maryland. You simply did a bad job of internet stalking me to find a reason to discredit my review. You just made up a whole story about telling me that you can't "build my house in Maryland." What? Then you inbox me telling me I'm hurting your business. No, you're hurting your business by being rude to customers who have inquiries. I kept my original review short and sweet but if you want to get into it, let's get into it. I reached out to you for a quote. You gave my two affordable quotes. I showed you the plot of land I wanted to buy and build on and you said it wasn't good. I said ok, I'll buy a different plot. You asked my budget, (kinda late in the conversation for that, but ok) I told you then you told me that my budget was too low and that you didn't want to work with me. I'm still taken aback because my budget was $300k OVER your quote. I assume you forgot that you had given me quotes already and didn't want to work with me because I was new to construction and had the *gasp* audacity to ask questions about how the process works. Instead of a feeble attempt to make me look like a liar, how about you try apologizing for mistreating me. How about instead of telling me I'm hurting your business, you try to look inward at your customer service. read more

I am looking into building an ADU in my backyard for my parents and I contacted USModular for help. Their staff was so knowledgeable about the entire process. I feel more at ease moving forward after being educated on all of the ins and outs of the ADU process. I attended an installation in person and was able to see first hand what the process entails! read more

I contacted the company multiple times to find out more information. The company has a weak sale dept. At one point I thought the company is going out of business or something. I hope this review get to the owner of the business. A sales dept is like a mouth of a person (the company). The dept is not functioning right, the company loses opportunities to get customers. Additionally the phone system gets set up to go to the sales dept first and no way to talk to anyone other than the sales dept. Here is my experience with US Modular sales dept. Back when I first contacted US Modular, I was interested in ADU and wanted to have more information. I recalled that I needed to make a couple follow up calls to get documents that the sales manager said she would send to me. I thought it was just one small issue. However, I was told that the company would let me know when i could go see model home. They said it should be the end of Feb. today is feb 24. no one called me to let me know any updates on model home tour. Even there would be no tour, someone should at least call to let me know. That did not happen. To me the costs are not cheap. At least I want to see some models to make a decision. So far I have not seen model homes arranged by US Modular. But later my project was changed and I wanted get a modular home. I had a scheduled call with a sales manager. Then she texted me she was behind 20 mins. An hour passed, no call. But I got a thank you email for talking to Misty (the manager). I called the main line and got direct back to sale dept. again (there were probably 3 people in sale dept.). I told them my experience. One of the staff recommended me if I decide to choose another company to do the project, make sure the company is reliable and does the right process. I think making multiple calls but not getting anywhere is part of my checking the company's reliability and US Modular doesn't give me the good feeling about its process. read more

Just don't is really all I have to say. Run don't walk away from USModular! Very disorganized, terrible service, and they will quote you a price, start the build then tell you materials have ended up costing more, not just a few thousand more, many many thousands more. Sickening and pathetic. Oh, and quality workmanship and contractors who actually know what they're doing, nonexistent! Ended up costing more than a normal build. These people know how to do one thing and that's take advantage of paying customers especially retirees! Please save yourself money, months of headaches and unfulfilled promises and find a reputable company because this is not it. read more

I just saw Bill's reply to my review. Pffffffft Bill, you should really try to focus on being better at your job. Imagine if you channeled all this effort into doing a decent work....! Bill's comment is completely untrue. I never did take them to Small Claims, because I decided to remove nastiness from my life. However, an attorney for someone else did contact me to get more info for their own case (which was bigger than Small Claims, of course). Those people won. USModular did not win against me, did not offer a redesign, etc etc bla bla. There's a reason those reviews are unpublished. They are mostly from him and his family. Avoid at all costs! Just found this from the attorney who contacted me. From November 2018 "Thank you for the reply. We went to arbitration and my clients were successful. They received an award against USM and USM lost its claim against my clients." read more

As a single woman, the thought of putting in a granny flat (ADU) in my backyard terrified me. I have never worked with contractors. When US Modular came to my property, they told me it would be an easy project. I felt reassured and very comfortable with US Modular. Well, it was anything but... During the entire project, I felt like I was battling with US Modular. Estimates kept changing along with the original time line. I paid for a low profile granny flat (ADU). Due to the slope of my property, a low profile granny flat (ADU) was not possible. A low profile granny flat (ADU) cost considerable more than a standard granny flat. I never received a credit for the change. I felt like they were constantly asking for more money and I was having to negotiate at every turn. Since we were in the middle of Covid , I felt like I should not complain. I had to pay for extras such as a pump because of complications due to plumbing issues. I was charged $4000 above the original estimate for the cost of the crane. I realized prices were rising, but they should have started my project earlier and should have anticipated some of these issues. They were very careless when it came to restoring my property. Instead of hauling away the bulk of the dirt, they just spread it around my yard. There were a few places they dug up in my yard when trying to solve the plumbing problems. A lot of debris was left and i had to pay to have it hauled. The granny flat (ADU) has a 1 year warranty. Just 6 months past the warranty's expiration and the paneling on the back of the granny flat (ADU) is separating. There are other issues with the inside such as the cabinets falling apart within the first few months. The one nice thing they did was fiance me for $4000 for 4 months. I would never recommend US Modular to anyone. I have made several attempts to contact them and they don't have the courtesy to even return my phone calls read more

My son and I built a home using a prefabricated home and the USModular team. It was much easier than hiring local subcontracts. The USModular team did it all. Good quality house. Good value. Faster and less headache than a traditional build. I'll use them again read more

Contacted USModular to get info about building an Accessory Dwelling Unit . Learned the difference between prefabricated and site built homes . Very informative and professional. I am now talking to my bank about getting a home equity loan to build a prefabricated ADU as it is less cost than the site built ADUs and it is a faster build. I went to see the USModular team build an ADU in Fontand and the ADU was very cute . Im impressed. read more

US Modular is the worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with in my lifetime of business. They lied and cheated their way out of their contract, left me with a half finished, damaged house that took two years instead of the 6 months promised. Buyer beware, do not trust them or sign their contract! read more

I called USModular to get an ADU for my property and someone actually answered the phone. I tried to called multiple dealers and only got voicemails. The nice lady on the phone provided pricing and emailed me different floor plan options that would fit on my property. She created a site plan so I could visualize it better. This is my first time doing a project like that and I'm definitely excited to move forward with them. read more

We contacted usmodular and 2 other companies to help us build a granny flat Only Todd from USModular came to our home and looked at our back yard He explained the process and our options He spent over 1 hour with us and answered all of our questions . They sent Us a budget for the floor plan we chose . It was a good price and they did all the work to get permits. It was fun watching them uses big crane to put house in back yard . Professional team. . We are happy and so is our parents now living in our backyard read more

This review is long overdue. US Modular talked a big talk, but couldn't follow thru. Throughout the whole design process, they gave us a price and said they had a factory ready to build. When it came time to build, they said they had closed it...and were sending out bids to other factories to build the house. Needless to say, the pricing shot up dramatically, and they never found someone that could do it anywhere near the estimate they had given us. All in all, we got a design out of it, but no house. read more

Research process was 6 months of visiting sites, community message boards, interviewing manufacturers, city planning talks, etc. US Modular was the most responsive and addressed inquiries. Completed the initial steps to process the my investment land. My sales contact was helpful. Will post my future results with my project after a few months to share if the product equals the service. Advice: There isn't many businesses that are doing modular or granny flats that are NOT shipping containers. Maybe my experience with these people was positive because I was upfront with my budget, I saved more than $150K cash (this wasn't my budget), and they knew how to address my design. Guess the only thing negative was we went outside my budget but it was with my approval. dBar.4663.ebA read more

After seeing the evidence that shows the majority of the delays have been with LA County Building and Safety and the hoops we have had to jump through and adjust to meet in order to get anything greater than a garden umbrella put up on our property. I have reconsidered my rating of US Modular. Although the project is not quite completed yet, weather, requirements for rain barrels and a retaining wall still need to be added to complete the project. We have entered into a second contract with US Modular to add a garage and driveway to the site, they seem to be moving quickly on this phase. Right now we are waiting 3 weeks for the County to even review our plans and I expect they will have some minor changes that will require weeks of delay. US Modular has improved the communications as our project has progressed. They still have a little room to grow, so we are reserving the last star until the completion of all work and my parents are safely moved in. read more

Great experience with USModular! I would recommend them to anyone looking to build a home. Great quality and nice people. It was quick and easy to work with this company. read more

Phenomenal to work with, overall a great experience. I hired them to build my house and they knew everything about the business. My wife has been dreaming of a modern stylish kitchen setup and they went above and beyond to make it up to our expectation. Im more of a backyard landscaping type of guy and they could even help me with that aspect it was awesome. They were very responsive, comfortable to work with, and provided a quality job. I definitely recommend utilizing them or at least reaching out for advice. read more

Terrible experience. Flat our terrible. Stay away! We attended the factory tour and based on Abe's assurances he would put together a project we would love, we proceeding into the Feasability study phase. We paid the $5000 for a "feasability study". To be fair there was some work done during the course of the study. The study was completed in early Dec. 2017. It was factually incorrect in some respects and most concerning was the fact the house Abe proposed to us would not have fit within the dimensions of the lot. We spent weeks resolving this and finally reached a point where we thought we could go forward. We told Abe we wanted to proceed and to complete a Construction Agreement. Our lender required the Construction Agreement and a list of documents from USM. Simple things that any contractor would supply to a lender. 2 and 1/2 months later, no supporting documents, very delayed (by many days) returned phone calls to me or no return calls to the lender. And this was an approved loan for a project that could have started in January! I don't think its unreasonable to expect a returned phone call within a day or two from someone in the company to a client on a +$1m project. Based on this awful level of communication during the "easy" part of the process where there are no decisions to be made, I finally put the project on hold. I wasted 3.5 months and $5000. Will we ever see any of that money? I hope so as the Feasability Study was incorrect on many factual issues and many of the budget line items were estimates that my wife was able to improve on with a phone call or two. Try someone else. Zipkit might be an alternative. read more

If I could give them a rating less than one star I would. It took them 2 years to build or modular home. The County held it up for 6 months so I will give them that so technically a year-and-a-half. It was way over budget and the finish work and the finish work was well below par. This company is absolutely awful and I would highly recommend that you do not use them.is read more

I just spoke with the Ceo of USModular. What an idiot! He couldn't even answer the most basic questions, without being rude. He is definately not a people person. He reminds me of a sleazy used car salesman. His name is ABE. I asked him, about the monthly tour he has coming up, and if he built in a certain area. He couldn't answer almost any question I asked him. Run, don't walk away from this company. Then is said, "This is getting to complicated, I'm going to walk away from this project" Lol, I hadn't even offered him a job. What a jerk! read more

My wife already posted on this, but I felt compelled to add another note. Not only is US Modular a terrible company and their principles will tell you anything to get you to sign a contract with them, but they use subcontractors who do crappy work. They splattered drywall mud all over the exterior of the house. They ran too small of a power line to our well, then couldn't pull a larger line through the conduit, so the worker trenches a new line straight across the yard and puts it only about 12" deep. Put the tile in the foyer so badly that the door wouldn't open and instead of replacing the tile, they GRIND it down so it sticks out like a sore thumb. Some of our kitchen cabinets were imstalled upside down, and I could go on. I'm surprised that they're still in business since, just when they were doing our house, they tried to use two different builders and neither would work for them. They finally got a company out in Arizona to build it, but when they were done, the owner told me he would never work with USM again. Oh, and Todd, if you're reading this... our roof STILL leaks. read more

USM (US Modular) built our first home a couple of years ago. Bottom line, we were on a budget, did not want to endure a lengthy construction project (3 kids under 3 at the time), but wanted a final product that fit into our well established neighborhood. Looking back, I think we made the perfect decision in going modular. The house was well designed, completely custom, and extremely sturdy. While friends of ours were dealing with post construction nightmares, we lived in the house with ease. If you're looking to build and do not want to go through a LONG timeline, modular is the way to go! read more

I've been trying to get Abe at USModular to give me straight answers for a few months! I ask questions and he keeps giving me the run around or doesn't answer my questions, or just does not respond to my emails or calls! I might add that they quoted me a cost of $5000 to do a feasibility study, $5000 to draw up plans. I did some research and found out that this is 10-100 times more expensive that another modular builder or any architect/ builder for that matter would charge. So the bottom line is that they make money off of people by getting $5000 up front for doing nothing! Course I feel that their not responding to my queries is a blessing in disguise, as the gentleman below is not the only one that lost money because these guys lie! Don't waste your time with these guys, they will leave you hanging and rip you off! Also found out they are not Better Business Bureau accredited but still have a score of "C". It should be an "F" One thing I've learned since starting my modular project with another Modular broker, which by the way, has also been a horrible experience! YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE THESE MODULAR BROKERS! ALL MOBILE HOME MANUFACTURERS NOW HAVE MODULAR DIVISIONS! SO CUT OUT THESE MIDDLE MEN AND GO DIRECTLY TO THE MANUFACTURERS! read more

I hired them to build my home sweet home as I wanted. They were very through and courteous in the whole process; consultation, planning, and building. My house came out beautifully, and I saved so much money because the construction was significantly shorter than conventional home construction. I'd recommend US modular to anyone who is looking for a builder. read more

US Modular built our dream home!! We couldn't be happier with our house and the whole experience we had with them. The staff are really great people, really pleasant to work with, they made this whole process really easy and enjoyable. I can't thank them enough.. They gave us our forever home! read more
