Quality Benefit of Modular Homes

Modular Homes have more Lumber than stick built because they are transported by tractor trailer to the site and each home must be strong enough to transport on highways. In addition modular homes are built with a separate ceiling and floor system meaning when you are on the second floor you’re not standing on the ceiling of the floor below. Our factories only use the highest quality kiln dried lumber will. Green, warped, badly knotted or splintered pieces will not work with precision equipment in the assembly line and are therefore rejected. This is important to the overall quality of the home because poor quality lumber is more likely to dry unevenly causing it to warp, twist and split. Additionally, all other materials including electrical, plumbing, drywall, insulation, and finish materials are chosen because of their quality and reliability which has been proven in thousands of homes

Workers in a modular factory are divided up into different areas of production specialties including floors, walls, roofs, trim, plumbing, electrical, and others. This allows each section of the modular home to be built simultaneously and skillfully by individuals who are masters at their craft.

Modular homes are inspected throughout the entire construction process both by internal quality control inspectors and third party inspection agencies. These inspectors are both planned and unannounced. It is important to note that inspections are for both quality control and code compliance. Site-built home inspections are inspected only for code compliance. This means that if a home is poorly built, but meets code, the inspector must pass it.

Modular Homes are built from the inside out which means we can insulate every last through wall penetration from the outside. This simply can’t be done with onsite construction.

Modular homes are constructed in a climate controlled factory. This prevents weather related damage, delays, and poor workmanship due to extreme temperatures.
