Has anyone here ever purchased a Modular home?

Posted by Modular Homes on July 28th, 2011

My wife and I are looking into buying a modular home to put on a piece of property. We don’t want to buy a "mobile" home because they are more expensive in regards to property taxes and insurance.

I have been unable to find an answer anywhere on the internet. We are looking for just a basic 2-3 brdm place. Has anyone here ever purchased one of these homes and could you give me a ballpark figure on what to expect in regards to price? Any input would be appreciated.

We live in california

are modular homes good>?

Posted by Modular Homes on May 23rd, 2011

We are planning on building a modular home in the next few years and I was wondering what other peoples experience has been like. Are the homes solid? We are planning on having it put on a full basement. I am just a little leary of having a house being brought in on a crane and it still being able to withstand the test of time. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has any reviews on Muncy Modular Homes in Pa that would be good too.
I would like to have feedback from people who have a modular home and live in one. Are there any issues that their having and are they happy with their decision?

Can anyone recommend brands of modular homes?

Posted by Modular Homes on March 16th, 2011

We are considering buying a modular home (not a trailer/manufactured home) and putting it on a foundation. We want something that doesn’t have that rectangle, shoe box look to it, around 1,800 sq ft, 3 bedrooms 2 baths. We want wood laminate floor throughout and to be able to upgrade things like light fixtures, hardware and cabinets. Possibly do a log exterior, metal roof and big porch. Can anyone provide links to pre-fab dealers in Oregon/Washington/Idaho? They’d need to be able to deliver to the Portland OR area. I’ve been pretty discouraged because a lot of the dealers don’t list prices, show actual photos of models or they expect you to come tour their lot which typically is nowhere near where I live.

Are there any requirements for walls being plumb, floors being level, and corners being square on modular home

Posted by Modular Homes on February 16th, 2011

We have a modular home with all of the mentioned problems. My understanding was that they are inspected by state inspectors, but ours is not very well constructed with some walls even bowed. Additionally, they do not seem too interested in correcting the situation. I wonder if there were bribes to inspectors and what recourse there is besides legal, if any? Thanks!

Regulations regarding where I can put a Modular Home?

Posted by Modular Homes on January 31st, 2011

I’m in Sacramento, California.
I’ve found a great lot in a great neighborhood, AND a great Modular Home for a great price that needs to be moved.
I’ve read on some manufactured home websites, that there is a law that forbids them, yet most people think I can’t put one in a regular residential area (which is exactly what I want to do!).

Where do I go to ‘officially’ get the answer?

Can a second level be added to a modular ranch home?

Posted by Modular Homes on December 22nd, 2010

My husband and I would like to consider the idea of adding a second level to our modular home. Our home was built in 1976. We know that we will have to talk to a structural engineer to evaluate the foundation. Also, can a foundation be reinforced so that it can support a second level? We live in the Reading, PA area so if anyone knows any contractors/structural engineers we could talk to that would be great. Thanks!

How much would it cost to ready some land for a modular home?

Posted by Modular Homes on July 27th, 2010

How much, approximately, would it cost to get my land ready for a modular home. I’m not sure how much land it is, but lets just estimate per acre on the leveling. We need to pour concrete for a 1600 sq ft home. We need a water well, and septic. There are electric lines right by us, we need to run electric. Basically anything that needs done before we can put out modular home on it.
