ADVANTAGES

 

There are a number of reasons why modular homes are the first choice of our consumers. Modular homes are not taking a back seat to stick built homes anymore. Modular homes are built stronger, less expensive, quicker to complete, and have built-in equity. They also have the same styles, amenities, and flexible design options as any other home.

 

What is a Modular Home?

A home, factory constructed in a controlled environment that is built with quality materials and components just like a stick built home. Modular homes are built equal to or exceeding your state and local building codes that are inspected by factory, state, and third party inspectors to guaranty quality. They are built in pieces or "modules" using approximately 30% more lumber than stick built. They are connected to a foundation and to each other, to finish a one, two, or three story home with any number of modules. Modular homes appreciate, appraise, and resell at the same rate as or even better than stick built homes. They can be used to build office buildings, garages, duplexes, condos, and townhouses.

 

STICK BUILT vs. MODULAR HOME

 

Controlled environment

Not only are there more inspections and higher quality control, our building materials are never exposed to the elements. This leaves the modular homeowner with a cleaner home and a far lower risk for mold, mildew, and pest infestation.

 

Price of Materials
Your quote may be adjusted as the building process continues if you choose to have your home stick built. This is usually caused by the rise of the materials it takes to build your home. Our quotes never change because of the rise of materials. We stock our materials and buy in bulk, giving the consumer a better price. Also all of our materials are stored away from the elements, preventing rot and animal infestation.

Flexible in design
Choose from hundreds of floor plans or let us design one just for you. You can choose from a Ranch home with two, three, four, or higher plus modules, a Cape Cod with multiple dormers and Palladium windows, or a Two Story home, both traditional and modern. Chalet homes or more contemporary looking homes can also be built modular. It’s not just a square box any more.

 

Completion Time

As they say, time is money, and with modular homes is where you can save both. Not only does it take far less to build and set a modular than it does to build a stick built home, it's also less expensive. Would you rather wait 3 to 4 weeks to see your home built from the ground up or see it placed in front of you and ready to go in a few days? Building homes is truly an art, but what makes modular homes tower above the rest is the amount of time it takes to have the home complete and ready for the buyer to move in.

 

10 Year Warranty

With a home from us you'll receive a 10 year structural warranty right from the start. In fact, any product, may that be a garage or even a condo, it will come with a 10 year structural warranty. Also, our homes are continuously inspected throughout the entire building process and not just after each phase, giving you a safe and secure home with a great warranty.

 

Tighter, Better Sealed

We build the modules from the inside out, unlike stick built homes. This gives us an advantage of sealing most electrical outlets, vents, and other potential places to lose energy with fire and air resistant sealant. Studies show in a wind test that this makes a modular home "tighter", meaning less air passes through, lessening the chance of weather damage and cutting the cost of heating bills.

 

Floor Plans

A high cost in building a home is having it designed by engineers, usually outsourced in a stick built environment. With our modular homes, we have dedicated and hard working engineers in-house working on every home we build. This eliminates the cost of having the builder outsource for the floor plans, adjustments, and additions to the home.

 

Employees

Our company provides a fully staffed service, engineering, and support department. There's no need to dial tons of numbers to find answers to any questions you may have. This also reduces the cost of having a 3rd party engineering firm create the plans for your new home.

 

MODULAR HOME vs. MOBILE HOME


What is a Mobile Home?
A home, factory built on a steel frame, titled as an automobile. These homes are built to HUD code. Mobile or Manufactured homes do not appreciate or gain value, they depreciate over time. Sometimes referred to as a double wide or even "modular", but they are not a true modular home.

Exceeding the Standards!

Our homes are built with higher insulation values and are more energy efficient than most mobile homes. We provide a larger selection of high quality products such as doors, windows, cabinets, etc.

 

Over Time

The value of a mobile home depreciates in value over time, but with a modular home it does the exact opposite, the value increases. A home is one of the largest and most important investments a person or family is going to make in their lifetime. Why would you want that investment to depreciate?

 

Spacious and Customizable
Design is a huge factor when it comes to building a home for a customer. Mobile home designs are pretty basic and very much similar. They limit the products and materials that are included in the finished product.


The question you may ask yourself is, "Why a PBS home?" The answer is simple.
