Our modular homes are built by tenured craftsmen in modern state of the art facilities protected by weather. They are built to the same code as site-built homes known as the Uniform Dwelling Code. The home is then transported to your building site on removable carriers. One of our expert crews will use a crane to lift the home off of the carrier and attach it permanently to your foundation. These homes can only be erected on a basement or crawl space. Typically the furnace and duct work as well as the plumbing and water heaters are installed in the basement by local contractors on site after the home is attached to the foundation.
Our modular homes come in all shapes and sizes from ranch, two story, cape cod and open loft chalets. Modular homes are becoming extremely popular for many reasons. These homes are less stressful to build and go up in a fraction of the time typically associated with site building. Our homes boast superior construction methods and warranties, and are extremely energy efficient. Most importantly, you will not give up quality or flexibility as we can build almost anything you can dream up. Finally, due to the efficiency of our systems and construction methods our modular homes offer significant savings over site building. Over 65% of our customers' homes are built by people who sold and left their site built home.
Manufactured Homes are built to the HUD (federal) code. These homes are commonly referred to as HUD homes. They are typically sold as single section (mobile homes) or multiple sections (double wides). These homes are also built in modern, state of the art facilities and are also energy efficient. Some of the ways manufactured homes differ from modulars are; HUD homes are transported to the site on their own permanent chassis commonly referred to as a frame. This frame is never removed so the home can be moved over and over. Today these homes are rarely placed on a basement, however they can be, provided the manufacturer builds them with a special frame. Even if a HUD home is placed on a basement, the frame can not be removed. The HUD code requires that the homes are complete when they leave the factory, so the furnace and all duct work is done at the factory. The plumbing and water heater is complete and the electric panel is typically in the utiity room. Further, Since they can be moved, these homes are typically titled by the dept of commerce.
