Modular homes Fayetteville NC are not boring. These factory constructed modules can be customized to create almost any dream home whether that's Colonial, Mediterranean, Cape Cod, or traditional. Homes can be 2 or even 3 stories. They can be build on a solid foundation, over a crawl space or a basement.

Placement and style of windows and doors can be customized. There are the same choices of exterior sidings, carpets, and flooring as in any site built housing. Appliances, plumbing fixtures, lighting fixtures, and countertops are preplanned with a wide variety of options. A wide range of standard house plans are available. Most manufacturers have engineers to help with design choices. Homeowner can move walls to have a great room or an extra large laundry room.

Because modules are built at the factory while the foundation is prepared, this type of housing can be completed in 1/3 the time of a typical site built house. There's no weather caused delays at the factory. Modular homes must meet all local building codes. Hire a local contractor familiar with local building codes to supervise the final construction.

Price quotes are more reliable when building modular housing. There aren't as many variables. Less cost overruns from weather related delays or scheduling delays waiting for subcontractors.

Customization adds to the cost but rarely will your customized home cost more than a site built home.

Modular homes are often confused with mobile homes. Both are built in a factory but that's where the similarity ends. Mobiles are built in a handful of model types with no customization options. Site placement is limited by law because building standards for mobiles are not as stringent. They're not bolted to a permanent foundation. They depreciate over time because they're difficult to upgrade or expand. They're built in 1 piece and placed on wheels for transportation.

Modular homes are constructed in factories, then transported to sites on flatbed trucks arriving as a series of modules. To withstand transportation stresses, they're built with 20 to 30 percent more material than a traditional home. Once on site, the home is sealed and electricity and water are connected.

Modular housing is environmentally friendly. There's less construction waste, more recycling. Walls and ceilings are built with greater precision than is possible outdoors, so there's more energy efficiency. Wood doesn't sit outside getting wet, moldy, and warped. Most are built with 2x6s and extra insulation in the walls.
