What is a modular home?
Modular homes are prefabricated structures built in sections at a factory. These sections, called modules, are transported to the construction site and assembled on a prepared foundation. This method differs from manufactured homes, which adhere to different building codes and are generally more mobile. The modular home industry is experiencing growth, with the U.S. prefabricated housing market projected to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 5.8% from 2024 to 2033, according to custom market insights.Are modular homes as strong as site-built homes?
Indeed, modular homes are constructed to meet the same building codes and engineering standards as traditional site-built homes. In fact, they often undergo more stringent inspections during the manufacturing process, ensuring their structural integrity and quality.Can I customize a modular home?
Certainly. Customization options are available for modular homes, though the extent may vary depending on the manufacturer. Typically, you can select from various floor plans, finishes such as flooring and countertops, and exterior features. For more information on customizing your modular home, we encourage you to contact LGS Home Builders, LLC.What are the environmental benefits of choosing a modular home?
Our modular home construction offers several environmental advantages. These include reduced waste due to efficient factory production, enhanced energy efficiency through better-controlled insulation installation, and shorter construction times, which minimizes environmental disruption at the building site.How long does it take to build a modular home?
The construction timeline for a modular home is generally shorter than that of a traditional site-built home. The factory-based manufacturing process is highly efficient. However, the overall duration can vary based on factors such as site preparation, foundation work, and the complexity of the home design. For a more precise estimate, we recommend contacting our modular home builders directly.Are there many features to choose from?
We offer an extensive range of personalized features for our modular homes. These include various options for hardwood flooring, carpeting, solid surface countertops, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, and exterior elements. Our wide selection allows for significant customization to suit individual preferences.Can I get a garage with a modular home?
Absolutely. Garages can be incorporated into any of our modular home designs. Some of our models come with integrated garages in the floor plan. For others, the garage can be constructed on-site by the home builder. We offer flexibility in garage placement, allowing for either attached or detached configurations based on your preference.What type of foundation can I have with a modular home?
Our standard foundation option is a crawlspace. However, we also offer the possibility of constructing on a basement or creating a brick foundation. Please note that we do not provide slab foundations or pier options for our modular homes.Can I visit a model home?
Certainly. We currently have four model homes available for viewing at our office during business hours. While appointments are preferred, we welcome walk-ins as well. Feel free to stop by at your convenience to explore our modular home options.What is the difference between modular homes and stick-built homes?
Modular homes utilize a construction method where sections are built in a factory and then assembled on-site, unlike traditional stick-built homes constructed entirely on-site. Both types must adhere to the same state and local building codes. Modular homes often incorporate 30% more lumber and higher insulation values. They appreciate in value similarly to traditional homes and are financed, taxed, and insured in the same manner. Once completed, it's often challenging to distinguish a modular home from a stick-built one.
