Our People Say
At Centennial Homes, we believe that our customers say it best! Read what they have to say about their experience with our company.
We chose to buy form Centennial Homes because of the quality of homes, the friendly people, and the option to pick how and what we wanted. We originally had bought, or was in the process of buying a home through another dealer in Williston, North Dakota. Our project cost got way out of hand so we decided to look at our options. We checked out Centennial and realized we should have come here in the first place. Instead of buying a display house, we are now buying a brand new home built the way we want it. We loved having the option to pick colors, appliances, and siding. Over all, this has been a great experience and we are grateful we came here.
Azia Johnson & Tyson Chrest - Williston, ND
Centennial Homes has been a blessing to us. When other companies ignored us, Mick Phillips has stuck with us through think & thin. He's been very attentive to our needs and situations. I would highly recommend Mick & Centennial Homes to anyone who wants a real person to help them make a home.
Lindsey Neal - Conrad, Montana
I met Carmel through a co-worker. I trusted her and did not go anywhere else. She worked very hard to help me find a house that would work for what I do. She was never pushy and was always willing to spend extra time.
Robert Weiner - Williston, North Dakota
In 2007 our family expanded therefore we needed more space. We shopped around & shopped around, from Williston to Bismarck, ND. After dealing with other companies we kept coming back to Centennial Homes! Not just for the quality of their homes but because the staff is TOP NOTCH! Very friendly and HONEST. We were at ease sitting in the office working with Marshall. He kept going outside with us, going through the house with us time and time again.
Thank you Marshall and Centennial Homes. We will send our friends & family your way!Jon & Brenda Hiatt - Tioga, North Dakota
I purchased a home through Centennial Homes for several reasons. First of all, I noticed they have several locations which told me they are not a fly by night company. Second, the Williston, North Dakota, office is only 100 miles from where I live. Thrid, I was called back within several hours of inquiring with them. Carmel is on the ball.
Thanks.George Mickolio - Wibaux, Montana
We purchased a home from Centennial Homes because we were very satisfied with the quality of the homes and how they are built. We also enjoyed working with Mike Dever because of his knowledge of the process of the 184 program and the first time home-buyers program.
Tyrel & Tiffany Birdinground
We chose Centennial Homes because of the quality of the homes. After speaking with other companies it was clear to see. Carmel has been great at answering our questions about anything and everything! The process has gone very smoothly.
Thank you for all of your help! Carmel is great and very personable - makes us feel comfortable.
Thank you.Gregory & Cheryl Hansen - Sidney, Montana
My husband & I were looking to buy a new home, we looked in Great Falls, Belgrade & Billings. We came back to Belgrade as Mick was very helpful & honest in answering all of our questions & also told us some important facts that no other salesman even mentioned. We are very happy with all of Mick's help & can't wait to move into our new home.
Thanks again, Mick.Gary & Cherri Roland - Great Falls, Montana
To whom it may concern:
We would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to Mike Dever and Centennial Homes for taking the time to work with my husband and I. We sincerely appreciate the time they spent coaching us step by step and the commitment to us. We especially appreciate the advice Mike Dever gave us to not settle on a house but truly find a home we love. We would highly recommend Centennial Homes to other families. We greatly appreciate the assistance Centennial Homes have provided us.Chance & Stefani Zygmond - Williston, North Dakota
We chose Centennial Homes because of the great customer service and the many different options of floor plans we had to choose from. The one-on-one service was a great help in choosing our home. Carmel was very very helpful and made us feel like it was more then just a sale.
Andrew Musker & Ashley Longie - Powers Lake, North Dakota
Dear Centennial Homes,
We are writing this letter to thank you for an outstanding business experience! We worked with Mike Dever and he is, by far, the most exceptional and easy-to-work-with salesman we have ever met! We were completely astonished by his mind blowing people skills and alarming honesty with us. He is definitely an irreplaceable asset to this corporation and to lose him would be nothing short of a travesty!
In buying a modular or a manufactured home, I would never, for a second, consider anywhere else but Centennial Homes!
Thank you again, for supplying us not only with a house, but a home!
God Bless,
The Walkers - Powell, Wyoming
We would recommend Centennial Homes and Fred Keller to anyone looking to buy a new home. After shopping at all the dealers in Billings it became apparent that Centennial Homes was different. From the time we first stepped on the lot we were treated with respect and professionalism. Our salesperson took the time to show us the differences in the homes and why it made sense to buy a Friendship Home from Centennial Homes. We were pretty set on purchasing from another dealer and just wanted to make sure that was what we wanted when we first stopped in. After talking to Fred, he told us about his experience and came out to our land to help us lay things out. We knew this was the kind of people we wanted to do business with. The whole process has been fun and exciting and we look forward to being in our new home this summer.
Sincerely,
Amber & Josh McQuillan - Joliet, Montana
We bought our home from Centennial because of the customer service. We spent almost a year looking around, then we met Darrin. He walked us through the entire buying process without pressure. He was always there to answer all of our questions - nights, weekends, whenever! It's been a great experience - with an amazing company!
Mike LaReau & Penny Dekan - Crooks, South Dakota
Centennial Homes is fortunate to have Mick Phillips representing their homes. He is one of the few salesmen that we have dealt with that actually listens and tries to comply the best he can with our needs. We appreciate his effort along with his friendship and honest integrity.
Harvey & Carol Pearson - Columbus, Montana
Of all the places we looked at, we liked Centennial Homes best. Everything was explained so we could understand all that was said.
The best selling point was Mick Phillips. We talked to a lot of salesmen and Mick was the most helpful and you knew you could trust him.
Thanks Mick, for making buying a home easy and FUN.
Tom Hinton - Wilsall, Montana
We have found that Centennial Homes of Belgrade, MT, with the guidance of Mick Phillips went above and beyond standard customer service in helping our family find a home that would meet our needs and budget. With the exceptional service and meeting after hours, I am so pleased.
Mick was extremely patient and has good old fashioned ethics and honesty. That is greatly appreciated. We are extremely grateful for everything Mick has done for us.
Thanks Mick!DJ & Sandi Dixon - Livingston, Montana
My home search started in Glendive, MT looking at a few very old, unkempt manufactured homes for unreasonable prices. I then came to Billings and my first stop was Centennial Homes! You were so accommodating and listened to all of my needs. I looked at several homes and was given some information to consider. After that I stopped in at a few other home dealers but because I was not ready to buy right away, I was not given any individual attention. That was approximately 3 months ago. In the time since, I have received a couple of nice calls from you just to touch base.
This week I returned to Billings to house hunt for earnest. I stopped in at most of the other manufactured home dealers and saw some nice homes for some reasonable prices. The salesmen were friendlier but still not greatly concerned with my needs. Of course after seeing what others had I came back to Centennial. I saw the home of my dreams & made the adjustments necessary. I feel like I am part of a family.
Thank you,Sheenagh Lee - Billings, Montana
To whom it may concern:
I am writing this letter to inform you of the quality homes and excellent customer service here at Centennial Homes. Jason Lillie was very friendly, patient and prompt in getting us the answers we were looking for.
My husband and I were sold not only by the superiority of the homes but also by the responsive environment from which they are sold. We would readily recommend Mr. Lillie and Centennial Homes to our friends and family in the housing market.
Sincerely,Rick & Lila White - Columbus, Montana
As a young couple coming to look at our first home, it was wonderful to be treated like we mattered. Other places were not as respectful and polite. Jason walked us through everything; the houses, options, etc. We were treated so wonderfully we didn't want to look anywhere else.
We are moving our house into the Hilltop Estates in Sidney. The trailer court has a deal set up with Majestic Homes and we were told to work with them. We went and looked at what they had and it was far below Centennial Homes. The quality & the manner in which we were treated was not what we expected. We were faced with making a difficult financial decision. We could have gone with Majestic and saved a substantial fee for moving the home in, but we would have had a lower quality house and terrible service. Centennial worked with us on pricing so much we could afford to pay the transportation fee. They worked with the trailer court, tried I guess, and when they couldn't make a deal with them they worked with us. The trailer court made this difficult.
I would recommend Centennial to anyone looking to buy a home.
Thank you Centennial Homes!Evan & Jewell Roberts - Sidney, Montana
I purchased my home from Jacque and Jason because they went the other mile. When you walk in on the other sites, the salesmen give you a price then walk away. Jacque saw it through to the end. He got it going with the skirters and the bank, and kept in contact with me.
Thank you and well done.Terry Leuthold - Evanston, Wyoming
It was my husband's and my pleasure to do business with Jacque. Both him and his sales associates were most helpful in meeting our needs. They not only answered all of our questions but also discussed the differences between their homes and others. I feel that the most important element when making a huge decision in life is feeling confident and comfortable. Both my husband and I felt this the moment they told us that their buildings are a little more expensive, but are higher quality than others, and they could prove this with their product. One other thing that "sold us" was we loved the place the moment we walked in it. Lastly, Jacque and his co-workers made us feel like family, and family is the most important thing.
Thank you,Zach & Heather Melneck - Sheridan, Wyoming
Dear Sir,
I am writing this letter today to express how much I appreciate the amazing service I have received from Centennial Homes especially Jason Lillie whom I like to refer to as "my home guy". I am a single mother with 4 children, 2 of which still live at home, and have dreamed for years on owning my own home. I really felt in my heart there was no way to ever make this dream a reality. I thought I would always be held victim to living in someone else's house with never being able to experience the pride and complete contentment of living in a dwelling that was my own. A "real" place to call home. A place to be proud of, to do whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted. To play in, to love in and to grow in. My children are 25, 23, 14 and 12. My daughters, I am sad to say, did not get the chance to have their very own bedrooms which I am sure you will agree would have been a wonderful experience for them to be able to have "their" time to themselves whether it be listening to their favorite music, talking on the phone or just reading a book in silence. However, I hope my boys will be able to come into their own in their very own space. I have always dreamed of being able to give them this special gift and for the first time I think it will actually come true because of one person ... Jason Lillie. I remember parking my car in front of Centennial Homes and desperately trying to calm the butterflies in my stomach. Once inside I was greeted by Jason and felt immediately at ease. Jason spent quite a bit of time with me and never once let me feel like owning my own home was impossible. The day after he pulled my credit score he asked me to come in and he went over everything with me. There were a few things we needed to work on so they put me in touch with the right people to help me and have made this process so easy for me it is hard to believe it's true sometimes. Jason has since stayed in constant contact with me letting me know how things were/are progressing every step of the way. When I get scared and start to panic he is awesome at calming me down and reassuring me we are working towards an obtainable goal. I cannot tell you how wonderful he has been to my family and I.
In closing, I would like to say that I appreciate everything that Jason has done for us and I will strongly recommend him to family and friends that may be in the market. This experience will have a long lasting affect in my life.
Humbly,
Catherine Roberts - Shepherd, Montana
We decided to purchase a home from Centennial Homes because we had seen the Watson Sunken several times in the past and really liked it. When we were in Billings we went to look at it again with the motive of possibly purchasing a home. Jacque was very helpful and we seemed to trust him right away. He was very helpful and eager to make this happen for us in a way that we could feel comfortable with. We appreciate his time and effort he put into this for us.
Thank you,Dan & Liann Strasheim - Montana
Howdy,
We want to give Mike and Jason a big Thank You. This is our second home we have purchased from Centennial Homes, and I will say that you will not find better service anywhere in Montana. When we had our first home set, the crew was great. They did everything to make sure that things were done to our liking. The sales department will do whatever they can to put you into the home you want.
Mr. Mike Dever, you went above and beyond to make sure that the home we wanted fit our needs and budget. Bottom line: if you want good service and great people to work with go visit with Mike at Centennial Homes.
Sincerely,Brad & Judy Purdon - Colstrip, Montana
We were recommended by friends to come here.
Centennial Homes had a very wide selection of homes and the people were courteous and very friendly and our salesman was very helpful.Dennis & Samantha Ellingson - Mitchell, SD
Darrin was great from the 1st day we walked in. He had lots of patients as we kept looking through the books and homes.
After looking we found one on the lot that worked great! Price wise & we loved it. We needed a home ASAP and this worked great!!
Can't wait to be sitting in our new living room or baking in the new kitchen.
Thank you.Dwaine & Deb Trease - Clearwater, Nebraska
We have been researching modular homes for over 5 years. We have been in all types of modulars in the Northeast Nebraska area.
It was paramount that we find a dealer who understood our financial concerns and who could provide us with the service we need.
We will purchase the home... it will be a once-in-a-lifetime purchase & we can't afford any mistakes or regrets.
Having seen an ad for Centennial Homes we liked the idea of being able to tour several different kinds of homes in one location. After our initial visit we were impressed with the facility & the comfortable atmosphere & proposed service & willingness to listen to our concerns & questions.
At this point in time, we are so impressed with the service - Darrin has been great!
Thanks so much - keep up the quality of service & product you provide.Roger & Jean Ellenberger
I chose to purchase a home from Centennial Homes because I wanted the best quality home for my family. I was also given the best customer service I have ever received.
Mike Dever walked me through the whole process step by step and made sure I was satisfied every moment. I would recommend Centennial to anyone buying a home, they won't be sorry.
Again, thank you for making this possible.
Thanks so much,Kasey DreamerSnell
Centennial staff are very service oriented. No sales pitch, showed us what we are looking for, didn't try to oversell. Went to several other dealers but thought Centennial was more concerned with the customer than up selling.
Lew & Julie Roberts
Centennial Homes did an excellent job with everything. They had the floor plan I wanted. Everything was explained in great detail every step of the way and all of my questions - big and small - were completely answered.
North Sioux City, South DakotaMichelle Baltushis
I met Darrin at Centennial Homes of Sioux Falls, and he was very interested in finding the "right" home for my family's needs and wants. He showed me a home with the exact floor plan I was looking for & even more. When I walked in the home I felt at "Home".
I feel this home is built with quality in mind and I look forward to sharing it with my family for many years.
Sincerely,
Terrie Petersen
Our experience has been great with Centennial Homes. We first learned of you through the internet and received a quick response to our inquiry. Even when we came to look at the home we had others willing to help out.
The fact that each used home is inspected with carpets all being pulled and new paint throughout helped make our decision to purchase from Centennial versus another dealer. That peace of mind was crucial. We will be ready to move in and enjoy immediately.
Thanks again.Velma Garvin
I have seen Centennial Homes driving by for the past few years. We stopped to look and Eric showed us 5 different homes, explained the features of each that were easy to understand, he explained financing and was very helpful. He allowed us to go through each home on our own. We made our choice on our own with not "salesman" pressure.
Tom Jones also explained items we should know - warranty, channels, etc.
We were treated very well and it was a very relaxing, comfortable experience.Bill Hall
The personnel at the Rapid City Centennial Homes dealership is awesome. I started here on recommendation of a friend (Karen & John Collins) who bought a home here. After checking several different places there is no place like these guys. Eric is extra special. He started with me and worked with me every time things on my end changed and he is still doing so. HE IS WONDERFUL!
I will recommend the dealership to any who are looking for a home.Haroldeen Witty
We decided to purchase a home from Centennial Homes because of all the good things we have heard about your company. Eric was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful with all of my questions I know we will be happy with our new home purchase.
Ann Parffrey
My wife and I chose Centennial Homes because of the length of time they have been serving this area. Their experience and courteous staff were very helpful. Eric was patient and helpful with our questions.
It was with great satisfaction to work with Justin. He gave both my wife and I utmost attention and courtesy. We had a difficult time making a decision on which house to purchase and Justin remained seriously interested and calm. He gave great guidance and worked to find the perfect fit and reasonable price. We were very impressed.
Edward Herrera
Dear Sirs:
I recently signed a purchase agreement for a new Friendship Manufactured Home.
Mr. Justin Christman asked me to share a few thoughts which helped me make the decision to purchase from Centennial Homes.
1. The quality of construction, the quality of the building materials used, the Pella windows, the Itasca design, the substantial frame and outriggers, overall appearance inside and out were all important factors for me.
2. I requested a few changes including a large Utility Room with deep sink and counter, clothes closet and place for a deep freeze in addition to the existing setups for the washer and clothes dryer, etc. Mr. Christman actually incorporated these changes in his proposed designs and offered me a choice of two of them. This was sincerely appreciated and I did choose one of them.
3. I asked for a large foyer in main entrance with linoleum and clothes closet, ceiling fan in living room, picture window in place of sliding doors in dining room along with linoleum instead of carpet in dining room.
4. I also requested the walls all be taped and textured with the home also becoming "all electric".
5. Having a fairly local crew to setup and also provide any additional needed services also played a significant role in my decision to purchase from Centennial Homes. This home will be delivered to my new residence in rural Valentine, Nebraska upon the sale of my existing property here in rural Williston, North Dakota.
Finally, I can't say enough about how much I appreciated the diligent, enthusiasm, patience, and dedication to customer satisfaction which Mr. Christman displayed.
Sincerely yours,
Ronald K. Qualley
We liked everything about our dealings with Centennial Homes. Justin was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the home and he shared our South Dakota values. They provide a quality product at a fair price and the service was excellent.
Greg & Sherry Smeenk
We decided to purchase our next home from Centennial Homes. Many reasons come to mind. Let me start off by saying we were welcomed from the first e-mail to our first visit. Kim and the whole staff have been very helpful from the beginning. We have been treated like we are the only couple buying a home at this time.
Thank you for all you do. We will let everyone know how to purchase a home with ease.Richard & Christy Hubert
Our experience with Kim Boyle and her staff has been excellent. From the first day we came into her office she took the time to show us over and over the homes on her lot as well as answer lots of questions. She continued to keep in contact and answer all questions and concerns. They were always very professional in dealing with us. We are always very professional in dealing with us.
We are very happy with the service we received.
We would recommend Kim and her staff to anyone looking for a home. The quality of their homes are excellent.
I do want to mention having the homes painted, decorated and furnished certainly helped sell this beautiful home.Patricia Tutsch
We decided to purchase our new home from Centennial Homes and Fred Keller for many reasons.
First, we never felt pressured or pushed during the entire process. Second, Fred took the time to explain everything to us and helped us understand everything that was needed to complete our project. Third, they took us to a customer's home and let us see the floorplan we wanted and talk to the customer. Fourth, Fred took the time to drive out to our site in Dillon, Montana and meet with our contractor and lay things out.
In closing, we look forward to our new home and we are very pleased with the service and professionalism that we received at Centennial Homes. We would recommend them to anyone.Dwane & Jeanna Thomas
We had been looking for property to buy & when we found some, we needed to decide what to live in. Lee at Centennial Homes was so helpful & made the financing easy. After we found a home we liked, Lee kept in touch with us while we worked on the land financing.
Lee answered all of our questions. And we had a lot of them! Everything was explained to us in simple terms.
Thank you so much for all your help!Brandon & Calee Hagen
My Fiancée & myself came down from Oakes, North Dakota, looked around and ended up talking to Joel. He was very helpful answering questions, was honest and most importantly, not pushy. He really worked with us to get a home we both wanted & could afford.
Thank you very much.Cory & Judith R.
We choose Centennial Homes because we had looked at the homes when they were at the fair and fell in love with them. The service that we have received from Joel has been awesome and above what we expected. He has kept in contact with us and informed about the different rebates and options available. He listened to what we wanted and helped us fine the perfect home for us.
We are really pleased with the service both Centennial Homes and Joel have provided for us. We would recommend Centennial Homes to anyone.
Thanks,Kim & Steve McClond
We decided to purchase a home from Centennial Homes because of the quality of the homes and the excellent service we received from our sales associate, Tom Jones.
We had been in the office and had toured the homes several times in the past. We noticed the quality of the homes compared to the other mobile home dealerships homes, were by far top notch. When you have a family that has younger aged kids, you need something that will grow with the family, take the licking and keep on ticking. That is exactly the kind of home we found.
Tom and his crew were very patient and understood our needs and would always help in any way necessary.
Knowing that our home comes from Centennial Homes means we got the best quality home around. We know that if any questions were to arise we would not get any run around.
The home we have will make a lot of good memories for our family. Living in South Dakota and the unexpected weather that come along with that will be a little more efficient with our new home.
Thank you Tom, Seth & everyone at Centennial Homes for the start to a wonderful future in our new home!! Your excellent knowledge, your kindness & understanding, your patients & dedication to us will always be kept in our hearts.
Pila-Maye (Thank You),
Maurice & Clementine Big Eagle
Your great customer service won the sale!
Thank you for helping us choose the right home for us. We had called several places inquiring about homes and you were the most friendly on the phone. When we got to our appointment we were impressed by the professionalism and attitude of all the staff. Kim showed us several homes and was very informative.
Thanks for all your help.
We look forward to working with you all!
Kimberly B.
Centennial Homes has been very easy to work with and sales agent, Tom Jones, has been helpful. The great reputations of both Friendship Homes and Centennial Homes is why we chose to purchase through you. In today's market we have encountered a ridiculous number of road blocks in obtaining lending... however Tom was helpful in directing us to some other possibilities. Please make sure that your other sales reps are well aware of funding issues and options. It will help your potential customers significantly. Know who you can fund or who can't fund, in today's market, on mobile vs. manufactured vs. modular.
Thanks,Ken & Sheree Alexander
I came to Centennial on the recommendation of some good friends who had been to other companies and were more pleased by what they had seen and learned here.
It has been a pleasure to deal with Tom Jones, and everyone else involved in the process.
Sincerely,Kate Dryser
Dear Centennial Homes,
We decided to look into your company because of the longevity of the corporation and mainly because of your reputation for excellence. Working with someone local was important, and having local service support is a great bonus.
In our first experience with your company we were just looking to weigh our options. We spent some time with Wes, and he was very patient and helpful as he showed us our choices and provided us with the information we were after.
When we got more serious about the possibility of purchasing a home we began working with Tom Jones. He informed us of our options and showed us a home with the perfect layout and at the perfect price for our current situation. He has been extremely helpful and accommodating in guiding us thought the process. We are very pleased with our experience with Centennial Homes thus far.
Sincerely,Ryan & Ashlee Cook
We purchased this Centennial Home based on a prior purchase with Centennial in 1995. The Friendship we purchased in 1995 was very well built and we greatly appreciated the great work by the set-up and service folks. Mr. Tom Jones did I very professional job and was very clear and was well informed about your product line and all documents required.

To whom it may concern:
Joel Welke at Centennial Homes earned our business by being very informed in all areas of the homes. He was extremely accommodating to us in every way.
We enjoyed touring different homes and deciding on the right floor plan for us. Centennial has a nice display of homes.
The key factor of buying our home here was Joel's knowledge and our ability to make the changes we needed to truly have it be our home.
Sincerely,Wade & Clara Jo Bronemann
Joel took the time to talk & explain things to us on the many times we were here. We've been looking for a home for about 3 or 4 years. All of the other places we looked didn't have time to answer our questions when they found out we weren't buying right away.
Monsebroten
Fred,
Me and my wife are very pleased with our decision to move forward with your company as our home builder and more importantly with you as our sales representative.
As you may have already known that this was a very long process and a very nerve racking decision to decide who to buy from and who we do want to represent us as our sales person. The first five minutes into our conversation I knew your company was going to earn our business. When asked about why we purchased from Centennial Homes, our answer was simply FRED!
One night Fred even came in way late after hours to help me because I work nights. He explained the specs. of construction precisely. Fred's professionalism and dedication to me and his ability to answer all my questions makes me very excited to have made the choice of buying from Centennial Homes.
Sincerely,
Brendon Traub
