Buying a Modular Home

What goes on behind the scenes when your modular home is being built?

There are a lot of people who purchase modular homes every year. They bring them out to the lot in pieces and assemble them right there in front of you. When I first graduated from high school I got a job at a local construction plant working on the assembly line for modular homes. My specific job was to paint the rooms, we did bathrooms, kitchens and closets. I saw a lot of things go on at that plant that made me think that I would never buy a modular home, then I started working around stick built homes. Let me tell you that they are much worse as far as the quality goes than the modular homes.

When it came time for me to buy a home I ended up purchasing a modular home. It came in two pieces and was delivered to the lot in the morning. By early in the afternoon we were standing in our own home. It was fantastic, and there were several reasons that made me decide on buying a modular home. First I really liked the fact that they are built under roof so that the raw building materials are not exposed to the elements. Second they tend to be built with more heavy duty materials so that they survive the ride on the trailer on the way to the lot. The insulation tends to be better in a modular as well.

So if you are thinking about buying a modular home I say go for it. If you have any reservations about buying a prefab home then you should see if you could get a tour of the assembly line. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how well they are put together.

And always make sure you know as much as you can about modular home prices.
