Family Owned For 40 Years

Corky’s Homes has been helping families find quality, affordable housing for over four decades. Owner Jan Davis founded Corky’s on April 1, 1985, inspired by a moment that shaped her outlook on housing and dignity. In 1968, Jan’s grandmother purchased a mobile home—and for the first time in her life, lived with running water. Seeing how something so simple dramatically improved her grandmother’s quality of life left a lasting impression and planted the seed for what Corky’s would become.

Over the years, Corky’s grew into a trusted name across Alabama. By 2000, the company operated eight sales centers, along with a parts store and a full-time delivery and service division. Around 2006, the manufactured housing market experienced a major downturn—well before the broader housing crash of 2008. During this period, most manufactured-home retailers across the State of Alabama were forced to close permanently, many manufacturers shut their doors, and financing options for manufactured homes nearly disappeared as banks and lenders across the country pulled out of the market. This collapse in financing was a primary reason Jan made the difficult decision to close all Corky’s sales centers except the Prattville location, preserving the core of the business and its commitment to customers.

Today, Corky’s remains a family-owned company guided by the same values it was built on. We believe everyone has a right to affordable housing, and our mission remains the same as it was on day one: helping improve people’s lives by providing well-built homes, honest guidance, and dependable service every step of the way.
