Manufactured vs Modular Homes
Manufactured vs Modular Homes
Find Your Perfect Home Design
Choosing a new home is a significant decision, and understanding your options is the first step. While often confused, manufactured and modular homes are fundamentally different in their construction, financing, and long-term value. Explore the distinctions to make an informed choice with help from our team at G & H Homes.
Manufactured vs Modular Homes
Manufactured Homes
Manufactured homes, often called mobile homes, are built on a permanent steel chassis with wheels, allowing them to be transported to the site in a single piece. They are constructed to a less-stringent federal HUD code, not local building codes. This distinction can lead to financing challenges, often requiring chattel loans with higher down payments and insurance premiums.
Modular Homes
Modular homes represent a modern, superior approach to construction. As expert modular home builders, we build homes in sections within a climate-controlled facility, protecting materials from the elements and ensuring precision craftsmanship. These modules are transported to your land and expertly assembled on a permanent foundation, creating a structure that meets or exceeds all local and state building codes.
Financing and Investment Value
One of the most significant advantages of modular homes is their financial standing. They qualify for the same traditional home financing and construction loans as site-built houses. Because they are considered real property and are built to high standards, custom-built modular homes appreciate in value over time, making them a secure and sound long-term investment for your family.
Why a Modular Home is Your Best Option
When you weigh the benefits, the choice becomes clear. Partnering with local custom home builders for a modular design offers distinct advantages:
Superior Quality
Factory precision and protection from weather result in a stronger, more durable home.
Lasting Value
Your home will appraise and appreciate like a traditional site-built home, securing your investment.
Speed and Efficiency
The streamlined building process means you can move into your new custom home much faster.
Greater Energy Efficiency
Tight construction and modern standards lead to lower utility bills and a smaller environmental footprint.
