TROY, Mich. — Champion Homes, Inc. (NYSE: SKY) announced Skyline Homes, a member of the Family of Champion Homes Brands, was named America’s Most Trusted Manufactured Home Builder for the sixth year in a row (2021-2026).

For a record sixth consecutive year, Skyline Homes was recognized as the most trusted brand among consumers shopping for a manufactured home in the America’s Most Trusted study. The survey, conducted by Lifestory Research, is the longest-running independent research program that examines consumers’ opinions on brand trust.
The Family of Champion Homes Brands represented the top three brands in the study, underscoring the strength of the Champion portfolio. Skyline Homes earned the highest Net Trust Quotient Score of 106.8, up from 98.4 in 2025. Champion Homes had the second-highest score in the study with 106.1, a jump from 97.5 in 2025. Completing the top three-ranked brands was Genesis® Homes, Champion’s builder-developer brand, which received the third-highest score of 105.7, an increase from 97.8 last year.
The study surveyed 47,774 consumers actively shopping for a manufactured home in the last 12 months. The survey looked at the ten largest manufactured home builder brands in the United States. Consumers rated their trust in the brands, the quality of the brands and their likelihood of recommending them to others.
“The 2026 results show that consumer trust in the home-building sector remains remarkably persistent,” Lifestory Research announced in a statement. “This consistency underscores a broader market truth: once home buyers place their trust in a builder, that trust becomes a lasting competitive advantage that meaningfully influences brand strength and buyer consideration in a dynamic housing environment.”
