What is a Modular Home?

A modular home is a prefabricated house built in sections (modules) at a factory, then transported to your property and assembled on a permanent foundation. Unlike mobile homes, modular homes are built to the same local building codes as traditional site-built homes and are virtually indistinguishable once completed.

Because 80-90% of construction happens in a climate-controlled factory, modular homes are built faster, with less waste, and often with higher quality control than traditional construction. Most modular homes are completed in 3-4 months compared to 6-12 months for stick-built homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a modular home different from a manufactured home?

Modular homes are built to local building codes and placed on permanent foundations, just like traditional homes. Manufactured homes (formerly "mobile homes") are built to federal HUD codes and can be moved. Modular homes typically appreciate in value like site-built homes.

Can I get a traditional mortgage for a modular home?

Yes! Modular homes qualify for conventional mortgages, FHA loans, VA loans, and USDA loans, just like site-built homes. Banks treat them the same because they're permanent structures on foundations.

How long does the entire process take?

From order to move-in, expect 3-5 months. Factory construction takes 6-12 weeks, foundation work happens simultaneously, delivery and set takes 1-2 days, and finishing work takes 2-4 weeks.

Can I customize my modular home?

Absolutely. Most manufacturers offer hundreds of floor plans plus customization options for cabinets, countertops, flooring, fixtures, and more. Some even allow fully custom designs from architectural plans.

Are modular homes energy efficient?

Yes, often more so than site-built homes. Factory construction allows for tighter building envelopes, and many manufacturers offer Energy Star certification. Utility bills are typically 20-30% lower than older homes.

What about resale value?

Modular homes appreciate at the same rate as comparable site-built homes in the same area. Most appraisers and buyers can't tell the difference between a modular home and a traditional home once it's assembled.
