Modular Homes are Hot in Virginia
During the 1970’s and 1980’s modular homes were widely considered only a short step up from mobile homes or sometimes referred to as manufactured homes. In the past two decades the modular housing industry in Virginia has seen such advances in modular home technology that modular homes are now equal in quality to traditional stick built homes. Modular home construction is becoming a hot item because of the affordability and green technology being used. In fact, sales are now increasing more rapidly than that of traditional homes in the state of Virginia and in the Northeastern region of the U.S. in general.

Modular homes are available in every conceivable architectural style from Cape Cod to ranch type designs to everything in between including modular log cabin homes which are now being offered for those that want a rustic look.

Modular home units fit together with air-tight precision; there’ll be almost no wasted materials left from a modular home manufacture, and paying for a minimum of materials means big savings for you! You’ll also save money on your energy bills, as your draft-free modular home remains snug against those cold Northeastern winds.

Constructing Your Modular Home
After multiple factory inspections your modular home will be shipped to your building site, where you will have a pre-poured foundation waiting. Each unit will be lifted from the truck with the use of a crane and fastened onto the concrete foundation, and to each other, with special fasteners, which should take no more than a few days.

The modules will contain all the insulation, electrical wiring, plumbing, and cutouts needed for finishing work to begin. Because so much of the labor normally done by subcontractors is already complete, you modular home can be ready for you to move in and celebrate with a big housewarming party with your friends in only two or three weeks.
