FAQ

Q: How are modular homes built?
A: Modular homes are constructed in climate-controlled factories on assembly lines to ensure consistency and quality. And, you know they are well built since they will survive many miles of highway transportation from the factory to the new owner’s lot, in addition to crane placement on the foundation. Everything is plumb and square, and the electric plugs and plumbing pipes are already in place before anything is approved for shipment.

A: Your Dream Home is definitely custom-designed. You can pick from many floor plans and then move this or change that. We then take your ideas to the manufacturer to ensure they are feasible. Additionally, some customers come to us with floor plans that interest them, and we approach our manufacturers to see how they can build that home using modular technology and techniques. Simply talk to us and we’ll guide you through the steps to make Your Dream Home everything you want it to be—from the placement of the television and phone outlets to the design on the ceiling fan blades….
