Advantages of Modular Own Homes

By Andrew Tyson

The modular home is one solution for many to having their own home. Whereas the mobile home used to be this solution, today the modular home is becoming more popular due to a variety of reasons. There are a wide range of modular homes today from which to choose. Starting with the basic modular home and escalating to a top of the line home that could not be any more luxurious if it were site built you will find there are as many styles to choose from as there are finished homes.

Many people confuse the modular home with a mobile home. The truth is, they are not alike at all. The modular home is the equivalent of an actual home built on your site. The only difference is it is constructed in sections and then placed. This is not to be confused with double wide mobile homes or a triple wide. Modular homes are required to pass the same requirements as a site built home. They are not mobile because they do not have a frame and wheels.

The Estate modular home is one of the best modular homes you can purchase. The luxury this home provides will be surpassed by none. From the countertops which can be a variety of materials including granite or marble to the solid oak flooring you will be surrounded by the elegance the modular home can provide. There are many with fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, and decks. There is no difference between an Estate modular home and the high-end site built home that is going to cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. Well, there is one difference - the price.

The Estate modular home can cost more or less depending upon the amenities you choose. The more luxurious the home gets, the more it is going to cost. However, the end result will be in place for you to move in much faster than waiting on a site built home.

System built homes make more sense for many people rather than the traditional built home. The homes are built in a factory. They are attached to a foundation and then shipped in sections. The readied site is waiting for the home to be placed and put together. These homes must meet stringent regulation requirements before leaving the factory as well as conforming to the regulations of the state in which they will be placed.

The modular home once placed on a site and put together does not look any different than a site built home. They are just as safe and can be as large or as small as you want. There are modular homes with attached garages, brick or brick veneer the same as a traditional home or vinyl siding. There are even log homes that use real cedar for the exterior. When it comes to the different types of modular homes you can purchase, you will be quite pleased with the choices you find. - 15246
