WHY BUY A MODULAR HOME?
The Best Value for Your Money
Modular homes are built in factories, and benefit from the assembly line production process. The factories buy huge quantities of lumber, sheetrock, carpet, paint, etc., they pay much less for each, and can have large quantities delivered at one time. Labor is used with maximum efficiency, with skilled craftsmen moving between workstations on the factory floor.
The Highest Quality
Modular homes are built in a modern, controlled environment, and they are precision engineered for a lifetime of trouble-free structural durability. Quality control is maintained by constant inspection throughout the construction process.
To insure a safe and secure trip to your property, modular homes are built especially well, using high quality materials. For example, there is typically 20% to 30% more lumber used in framing your home; and most factories glue, as well as nail or screw, the components of the home together.
Peace of Mind
Buying a modular home gives you peace of mind—you won't have to worry about: "I need more money" the home owner's worst nightmare—The job's half finished and your builder tells you he's way over budget and needs more money or else he'll quit. Factory-built houses come at a guaranteed price, without cost overruns.
The Vanishing Builder
Everyone knows someone who's had this problem—just don't let it happen to you. You don't want an unfinished house slowly rotting away in the rain. When you buy modulars, you get your finished house.
The Pre-soaked House
Maybe you like your jeans pre-washed, but you don't want your house to come that way! A site-built house open to the rain can cause your wood to warp or swell, problems you'll never get rid of in a lifetime of ownership. Modular houses are built in controlled environments under the factory roof and are shipped in weather-proofed wrapping.
The Unexpected Uninspected House
Oftentimes you don't really know what quality you're getting with a site-built house. Modular homes are thoroughly checked out before they leave the factories. A quality control process provides 100% assurance that your home has been inspected for code compliance and workmanship. In-plant inspectors as well as independent inspection agencies inspect the home on behalf of your state & local government. So if you're looking for peace of mind, a modular home is your answer.
Speedy Turnaround
On the average, a home consisting of two sections will be built in the factory within eight weeks. Once your home is placed on its foundation, final completion takes ten to twelve weeks. This schedule allows you to move more quickly, and knowing when your new home will be ready helps you plan your move better.
Lower Home Ownership Costs
Repair bills can really add up. Modular homes are built in a modern, controlled environment using high-quality materials. They are precision-engineered for a lifetime of trouble-free structural durability. A well-built house is a home that is easier and less costly to maintain.
Greater Energy Efficiency
