FAQs

Modular homes are built in sections at a manufacturing facility and then transported to the installation site where they are assembled on a foundation. These homes are built to local and state building codes similar to traditional site-built homes.

Manufactured homes are also factory-built but follow federal housing standards known as HUD codes. Once the home is delivered to the property, it must be installed and secured using approved installation methods.

Both types of homes require professional installation to ensure structural stability and compliance with installation regulations.
