Yes! Modular homes are built to meet or exceed local building codes, just like traditional site-built homes. Many modular homes are engineered to handle high winds, heavy snow loads, and even hurricanes, depending on the region they’re built for. With solid construction and high-quality materials, modular homes offer durability and resilience. 

 The key difference lies in the construction and classification.

• Modular homes are built in sections at a factory and assembled on a permanent foundation. They must meet the same building codes as traditional homes and often appreciate in value.
• Mobile homes (or manufactured homes) are built on a steel chassis and typically follow federal HUD standards, not local building codes. Mobile homes can be relocated, while modular homes are permanent structures.

Modular homes offer a high degree of customization. You can choose from a variety of floor plans and layouts, and each home can be tailored to your lifestyle. From finishes to fixtures and exterior features, most aspects are flexible. While the structural components are built off-site, the interior and exterior details are entirely up to you. 

Once your modular home is ordered, we work closely with your general contractor (GC) to align the delivery with your site preparation schedule. We’ll organize a crane to place the home sections on your foundation. Delivery takes about 1 -2 days.. We coordinate all logistics to ensure a smooth delivery and assembly process. You’ll always know what to expect and when each step will occur. 

Modular homes typically cost $100-$150 per square foot, which includes the house and delivery. However, site preparation, permits, and contracting services are not included in this price. We recommend consulting with a general contractor for an accurate site prep estimate.

Yes, like traditional site-built homes, modular homes are considered real property and can appreciate over time. Their value is influenced by factors such as location, market trends, and how well the home is maintained. 

Financing a modular home works similarly to financing a traditional home. Most buyers obtain a construction loan or mortgage, which is converted to a permanent mortgage once the home is completed. We recommend consulting with a lender who has experience in modular home financing for the best options.
