Today’s modular home industry is far more advanced than they were 25 years ago. Unlike the myth of a modular home being a “Double Wide” or trailer construction, this is not true.

The modular home is engineered to meet or exceed today’s national building codes by using quality materials that pass rigorous local and national standards, and protected from the negative effect of weather, in state of the art factories. This also prevents excess moisture and mold issues. Additionally it also minimizes waste and maximizes recycling of unused product.

A modular home today can be customized built to your needs and desires. They can also be built to meet Energy Star guidelines using 2 x 6 exterior walls with 7/16 OSB plywood, low E windows, and 30 year architectural roof shingles. 2 x 4 interior walls are some of the standards of modular construction.

From construction in a controlled environment, buying materials in bulk, minimal waste, being “over built”, and faster delivery dates (usually 6 weeks), these savings are passed on to the customer.
