So, we have been in the house now for 2 months, and there have been ups and downs, but mostly ups…read more The Contractor: We used Gooden Harrison at the recommendation of Clayton (most manufactured home companies in this area use them), and the date we were given for final move in from Gooden Harrison was late June/early July. We moved in after PUSHING LIKE CRAZY(and having to stay in a $1700 air bnb for a month because our lease ended) on October 1st. The people at Gooden harrison blamed it on the City, but I was in contact with the City the whole time and they were always waiting on Gooden Harrison. They received the permit paperwork two months LATER than GH told us they sent it, and the permit record even states that. Overall, the work they did was okay, but you NEED to put a clause in the contract to add financial penalties for not meeting the deadline if you work with them. The House Itself: The house is great, and I did a TON of research on how to build a super sturdy manufactured home when I gave them these specs: "-We will want the lino throughout the house--the dark brown one in the samples you sent. (that's not extra right?). What is the thickness of the lino? - Laminate countertops and edging throughout the house--is that extra? Would that be the wilsonart countertop selection you sent? -We would like a 5" rain gutter added to the house if 6" overhang is all that's available. Is that extra or standard? -Is the smart panel siding a cement-fiber siding like hardi-panel? -We would like the exterior wall studs to be 2x6 instead of 2x4. How much would that be? -Are the floor joists framed 16" on center? -Are the windows dual paned? -Is the plumbing copper, PEX, or CPVC? -If we wanted to increase the roof load to 30#, would that be extra? -We would like the 15' stretch and shed roof as long as the freight doesn't go up. -yes on: the Energy Smart Package The $36 exterior light The chassis The $244 large oval tub/shower Shut off valves at toilets and sinks The $260 base moulding" Every contractor that has worked on the house (adding stuff, etc.) has commented on how incredibly solid this house is. Do the things in the list above for a super solid house, and upgrade the insulation! Also, the Shed roof option is amazing and make the house look WAY bigger and nicer (and more modern). The fireplace is awesome to have. Ducted HVAC is the standard, but it is more expensive and needs more repairs later on than ductless. Get a ductless unit or two after you get the house, and pick wall heaters as your standard heat option. If I Could Do It Again: -I'd wait to get the tub after market-- the huge tub we got was very expensive, but got a crack in it after a month. Clayton sent someone out to repair it, but that's concerning. -I'd get a third-party inspector to check everything before I signed off-- that way, things would all get fixed right away instead of a month or two down the road when we finally noticed it. -I'd amend the contract with the contractor or get a different one. -I'd triple check everything before the order gets sent to the factory- we wanted dark cabinets, and instead have light ones. -I never would have gone to Palm Harbor/Direct Homes in the first place-- they were pretty horrible. ***I will update this review at the one-year mark, after the 1st year warranty ends!

I would recommend Clayton homes in Albany for anyone interested in a manufactured home.

Because we are not local, Jason has been doing all of the work to get her served for small claims court.

I am extremely disappointed with how our application for Jefferson Terrace Apartments was handled…read more My boyfriend and I were informed that we had been approved, paid our security deposit, and both signed the lease through AppFolio. We were given access to the resident portal and proceeded under the understanding that everything was finalized. Because we are trying to move back home to Oregon from Texas, we also obtained renters insurance, scheduled utilities to begin on our move-in date, and made other arrangements based on that approval. Nearly a week later, we unexpectedly received a text stating that our approval was being reversed and that our deposit would be refunded. We were later informed that the lease had not been countersigned by management and therefore was not considered active. What was especially frustrating was the communication. When I reached out to the property manager, I was told they did not know the reason for the denial and could only direct me to the applications department. Despite emailing and calling the applications department, I have struggled to obtain a timely written explanation for why our approval was reversed after we had already signed the lease and paid our deposit. I understand that apartment communities have screening procedures, but those should be completed before applicants are told they are approved, asked to sign a lease, and encouraged to move forward with making significant commitments. Having an approval reversed after taking those steps while preparing for an interstate move created an incredible amount of stress and uncertainty. I hope management reviews its communication and approval process so future applicants don't experience the same situation.

My father passed away back in November and Angela (owner) was so incredibly kind, helpful and…read moreprofessional that I felt compelled to write a review. My Dad was living in one of their apartments on a property that is really a second chance for those who might have trouble renting otherwise. Knowing this, I was surprised to find that the building was very clean and presentable. I think you can tell the Watson Management tries to keep this nice for their tenants, which is not always common in this situation. I never once heard my Dad complain about the company and he seemed happy there. Unfortunately, there was a situation where we had people attempting to break into the apartment while I was trying to make it to Oregon (I am in CA). Angela and her staff handled it so professionally and quickly and they also did a great job at keeping me informed every step of the way. She also helped me get some information about my dad that I needed to move forward with sorting his affairs. That saved me so much time, effort and grief doing that and it was huge in that moment. She also was just a source of support. She said she likes to treat others how she would like to be treated and it shows. I told my husband her name was Angela but she must be "Angel" for short because she really was such a blessing. The whole office really seemed sympathetic and I was just so thankful for all of them. Angela and her staff took a really stressful and awful situation and turned it into something bearable. I would have loved to have my mother there while I was going through my Dad's apartment. I was glad to be in contact with Angela because she had almost a motherly presence about her that was just so friendly and calming. I appreciate Watson Management and wish them all the blessings for their staff, for Angela, and their business. Thank you!!!!
