Any experiences with Modular homes?
Modular Home Questions June 16th, 2009We have been looking into modular homes, the type that comes in as one piece, not 2 pieces or a double wide. (One company we are looking at is Wardcraft.) My question is, has anyone had any experieces with these type of homes? We have been in a new one and it's nice and all but my question is has anyone had any experience in living in one for more than 5-10 years? I was just wondering how energy efficient they are, if there are any problems that have developed after a period of years. I guess I am just wondering all these things because the type and size we are looking at would be as much a stick built home and I don't want to invest that much into a modular home and then in 20 years have major problems. I know stick built homes can also have problems too. We'd have a basement under it for sure. I know they do usually come with the cheapest appliances and carpet possible. Can anyone give me any other suggestions or experiences with them?

I have a modular home. Bought it in 1998. Seems fine so far. I like it because it was built indoors and then assembled on my lot. Unlike stick built homes it has never been exposed to rain or moisture on the inside. It has sheet rock walls and has good insulation. It was made by North American Homes.
