Result and Cost of Modular Home Customization in Adrian, Michigan

Posted by Legendary Homes on March 1, 2015 in Adrian, Modular Homes with No Comments Yet

The modular home industry is now creating homes that are custom- designed. This change has really gained attention in the last years. These modular homes are even being treated as a custom stick built home by the insurance and mortgage companies.

Reason for Attractive Modular Homes

The reason why modular homes have become more attractive is that they do not appear to be a cookie cutter home. A modular home is offered in a variety of different designs created by architects who normally design traditional custom homes. Furthermore, each design can be customized with different paneling, trim, paint color and much more.

This growing industry has had to deal with a limiting factor of modular homes. Their feasibility greatly diminishes if they need to be transported from the factory. To counter this limitation many modular home manufacturers have created a network of factories to provide blanket coverage of the United States.

Cost of Modular Home Customization

A finished modular home will even look like any traditional home. To achieve the same look as traditional homes they do cost more than mobile homes, but still are much less expensive than traditional custom homes. This is helped by prefabricating the home in subsections called modules. These modular home modules are constructed in climate controlled factories with lower labor costs and reduced product costs due to bulk buying.
