Frequently Asked Questions:

Why Should I Consider a Modular Home?

Today’s modular home offers construction of the highest quality. Modular home builders can build the home of your choice using the latest building technology, in a controlled factory environment by specially trained workers protected from untimely weather delays. Not only can you build the home of your dreams, but the factory-built process makes it even more affordable.

How Is A Modular Home Different From A Site-Built Home?

A site-built home is built “on-site” using traditional building techniques that meet either local or state building codes. A modular home is built using the same materials used for site-built homes, but is built in a factory setting. Modular Homes also meet state or local building codes. Modular homes are treated exactly the same for zoning and financing purposes as site-built homes. 

What Is The Role Of The Builder/Dealer The Modular Home Process?

Most modular homes are sold through independent builder/dealers. The builder is responsible for a variety of products and services including helping you customize the home to fit your needs and budget. The builder is also responsible for obtaining the necessary building permits for your building project, preparing the site-work and pouring the foundation of your home, coordinating the delivery and installation of your home, and doing any completion necessary to make the home yours. Residential builders are usually licensed at the state level and must complete a set of requirements prior to licensure.

How Can I Be Sure That A Modular Home Is A Quality-Built Home?

Modular Homes are built with the same building materials as sitebuilt homes, but in a controlled factory environment where quality of construction is invariably superior to what can be done outdoors. Modular homes are also built to the same building codes other homes are built to in a given location or jurisdiction. 

Are there any special zoning or financing considerations for modular homes?

No. A modular home is exactly the same as site-built homes in building codes, zoning, financing, appraisal, and value appreciation.
