Do these homes lose their value since they are not stick built homes?
Off-frame Modular homes do not lose value any more than a site built home and in fact usually appreciate with time.
Do these homes have that hollow sound when you walk across a room, like in a trailer, or a solid sound as in a quality stick built home?
Modular homes are as sound, if not more sound than a quality stick built home. Most modular homes have beefier wall systems than traditional stick built homes, thus making them more stable & energy efficient.
How much are your homes?
Each home is custom designed and built and cost depends on many variables such as interior features and furnishings. We also must take into account if the customer already owns their land and if so is it graded and prepped and are permits pulled and ready to go? We can also complete homes with turnkey construction packages (everything is included) or we can handle on the construction aspects that our customers request (in situations where the customer wants to finish the home themselves.) It is difficult for us to give a ballpark quote, but we are happy to work with you and provide a custom quote.

How Is A Modular Home Different From A Site-Built Home?
A site-built home is built “on-site” using traditional building techniques that meets either a local or state building code. A modular home is built using the same materials found in a site-built homes in a factory setting that meets either 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 Modular Builder in The Modular Home Process?
Most modular homes are sold through independent builder/dealers.
The builder is responsible for 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 usually must complete a set of requirements prior to getting their state license.
How Can I Be Sure That A Modular Home Is A Quality-Built Home?
Modular homes are built with the same building materials as site-built 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 county.
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.
Is it easy for the builder to customize the modular in the field?
Yes, we can install many custom features per the customers request like porches, decks, drives, walk ways, and garages.
