Palm Harbor Homes, Oklahoma City, OK

"We bought our Palm Harbor home 6 years ago. The home we purchased was the 'Gotham' and we were one of the first to purchase this triple-wide in this area. I would just like to say that the home is so well built it withstood a SEVERE SHAKING from a TORNADO that hovered over it for about 2 to 3 minutes.

The soundness of the home is a testimony to Palm Harbor construction and durability. We know the tornado hovered over it because wind directions circled the home picking up exterior decks and fencing, tossing them effortlessly in different directions between the front and back of the home.

But our family was SAFE inside. There was no damage to the home itself other than shingles and underpinning. We were worried that after the severe shaking it endured, perhaps one or more of the three sections might have been jolted loose. But after the insurance company inspected everything, the structural content of the home is intact. The photo shows how little damage we received... shingles, fencing. Such little things compared to what could have happened.

Thanks Palm Harbor!"

"When we returned to our home in Sabine Pass, Texas, after Hurricane Ike, we were happy to see that it has survived the worst that storm had to deliver and lost just 6 shingles. Since we are less than a mile from the Gulf, that was amazing. Unfortunately, my father’s site built home next door was totally gone and most of the other homes in our area, site built or manufactured, were gone or destroyed, also."

"I just wanted to drop a line to thank you and your sales staff for all the help in getting our new home. Working with our exceptional person has been an awesome experience. Also, the rest of your staff should be commended. Even though I was not 'their' customer, they helped me.

I have been to many stores looking for my home. I was working with a competitor, but after two years and going to two other stores from that company to get the house I wanted, I had almost given up.

I stopped in your store one evening at closing time and toured some houses and we started working. My husband was amazed at how in three days Palm Harbor got more accomplished than two years with others! Our new home is wonderful and everyone that sees it is amazed. Thank you again for making dreams come true!"

"We purchased our home in 1999 at Palm Harbor in Oklahoma City. One of the selling points of the house was the fire retardant walls. I never expected them to be put to the test, but, on March 14th after receiving a call from the fire department and being away from our house at the time, we expected to come home to a pile of rubble. The house burned for 1 1/2 to 2 hours before the flames penetrated the roof according to the fire department. We were very impressed to see the house completely intact structurally. The inside of the house was destroyed by smoke damage and fire damage, but the house structure was okay. This is why I'm buying without a doubt, another Palm Harbor home. When they say fire retardant, the truly mean fire retardant.

What also impressed me was the appreciated value. $22,000 in 10 years! This is another reason I'm purchasing a Palm Harbor home.

Todd & family"

"Hello, Palm Harbor - Oklahoma City. I got home yesterday after being gone all of January. As I walked through my home, I noticed that there was almost no dust. Earlier this year, just as the weather was getting colder (in the mid to low 30's), there was no one here to light the furnace for me, so I got a small oil heater and turned it on high. Within the hour, my entire house was warm and I turned the heat down to low for the night. Thanks you all for building such a tight and energy efficient home."
