Why chose a manufactured home?

Manufactured homes must be built to meet strict Federal requirements. Due to these requirements the framework and structure is equal to or better than many site built homes. Homes are constructed with 2x6 walls 16” on center, R-19 insulation in the walls, R-26 in the ceilings and R-19 in the floors, 25 year roof shingles, and 4” vinyl siding. They can also be ordered with insulated window panes, residential style entry doors, custom cabinetry, premium stainless steel appliances, Whirlpool tubs, sit down showers, double sink master baths, stone fireplaces, stone hearth wall kitchens... walk up attics !!!! ... the list goes on and on.

Many manufactures are building Energy Star homes. The Energy Star rating refers to homes that are built to comply with the Energy Star requirements established by the United States Department of Environmental Protection Agency. These homes are 33% to 70% more energy efficient than non Energy Star homes of any type. This means additional savings to you with greatly reduced utility bills. What would you save if you slashed your utility bills by up to 70%?

Most manufacturers also offer a 10 year home warranty.
