Deltec Homes Complaints

Deltec Homes

Deltec, an energy efficient homebuilder known for their unique designs, is based in Ashville, North Carolina.  The roundish structure of the homes is rather unique and, in part contributes to their energy efficiency.  They are not known to build shipping container homes.

How is their track record as far as customer service and Deltec Homes complaints?  In the last three years they have two closed complaints filed against them with the Better Business Bureau, one of these occurred within the last 12 months.  Given the size of Deltec Homes, 2 complaints in a 3 year period is not many at all and they have received an A rating from the Better Business Bureau.

We’d be interested in hearing from anyone who has dealt with Deltec Homes and whether you have any Deltec Homes complaints – or positive reviews of Deltec as well.

Shipping Container Homes and Humidity Problems

Avoid Humidity Problems In a Shipping Container Home

Prior to building your shipping container home be sure to take into account the unique construction properties of the materials you’re working with.  A shipping container home can be very susceptible to humidity and moisture problems if you don’t plan ahead when designing your container home.

You should insulate the shipping container on both the outside and inside.  Many people then line the inside of the container with plaster and insulation rockwall. However moisture can be trapped behind the gypsum board and the steel surface.

You should plan on installing a vapor barrier. It can be as simple as a sheet of plastic which prevents the moisture from entering the interior of the home. Construction steel makers have the same problems to deal with and it’s instructive to take a look at the type of insulation and moisture barriers they use.

All of these types of details are covered in a good manual on building a shipping container home such as the container home plan designs provided by Containers4homes.

We have 4 hectares of land in Illinois, and we know we should have a well and septic system.  I’m looking for as a way to spend 5k on a house. I know it sounds impossible, but I’ve seen people make houses from shipping containers.  Maybe it would take 10k. I do not know … but for ideas and sites that might help me find the cheaper homes you can put in a field and be well enough insulated to endure the winter. There is a mobile home or park model type thing.

Once you have your site picked out you should check into what used shipping containers cost in your area.  Then take a look at shipping container home plans and determine just what type of container design you need.
