Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a modular home and a mobile home?
A modular home is designed to sit on a foundation. The frame is for transportation purposes only and is removed prior to placement on the foundation. Modular homes are built to BOCA Code (the same as stick-built homes). A mobile home can be built to sit on a foundation; however, we generally place them on a cement pad. Mobile homes can be manufactured as singlewide or doublewide are are built to HUD Code.

Our homes are built to the highest standards, they are energy efficient and can even be built with Energy Star or green features.
What is the warranty on manufactured homes?
Every home comes with a full one year limited warranty. Some manufacturers feature a 10 year structural warranty. In addition, many of the brand name components, such as appliances, shingles and siding used in your home, are covered by separate manufacturer warranties.
