However, we believe that the Modular Homes of Texas systems built approach will provide you with the best building alternative at the lowest cost.
You probably have a few general questions to start, and we have answers. Read some of the popular questions we get to help you learn more about building your custom dream home.
What is a Modular Home?
Modular built housing is a fast-growing modern form of construction gaining a growing recognition of its increased efficiency and ability to apply modern technology to the needs of the market place. Superior quality control, reduced waste, constructed in a factory out of the weather, and faster completion (45-90 days versus 4-9 months for site-built construction) are primary benefits. Modular Built and site-built homes are constructed to the same building code required by your state, county and specific locality and therefore are not restricted by building or zoning regulations.
What makes us different from the rest?
Modular Homes of Texas are 100% modular! Most of our competitors spend about 80% of their time selling manufactured homes and modular is just a sideline business. We do not carry inventory; therefore we do not push our clients to buy on the spot. We build custom-built modular homes; families can design their own floor plans or re-design current floor plans to meet their needs. We build homes all over the State of Texas for families and we firmly believe our standard specifications are unique; adding incredible value to your home.
What's the process in building a modular home?
We work with you every step of the way. You’ll choose a floor plan from our website, and we will customize it with any personalizations or revisions you would like. We want you to make it your home.
The process of building a modular home is similar to what you’ve seen during the construction of houses in your neighborhood; however, the work is performed on a production line. Quality materials are used and skilled craftsmanship is maintained while multiple departments construct the home. Once the building process is complete, typically with interior finish right down to wall finish, the unit is transported to the home site and placed on the engineered foundation. Final steps include connection of utilities to the home and a short list of finish work.
We know you will have lots of questions about a modular home before you make the decision to let us build one for you. We are willing to take the time to answer any questions you have, via email, phone, or in person. We want you to be comfortable with your home-building decision.
Can I really customize my dream home?
We don’t feel our clients should have to settle with a floor plan that was designed around another family’s needs. Modular Homes of Texas will customize any plan you choose from our website or you can bring us your own plan. We want to build the home that’s right for you.
Why should I choose you over other custom home builders?
Modular Homes of Texas builds nothing but modular homes! Most of our competitors spend about 80% of their time selling mobile homes and modular is just a sideline business. And with over 40 years of combined experience, we have become synonymous with custom, quality built structures. Whether you are building the home of your dreams, a vacation home, a multi-family project or a commercial structure, Modular Homes of Texas is there every step of the way.
And, perhaps most importantly, we will meet with you and we will personally inspect the land you’ve purchased to ensure there will be no surprises. When we give you a price quote, we can stand behind it.
Is it harder to finance a custom-built home?
Getting financing for a new modular home has never been easier. There is no distinction between modular and site-built homes as far as appraisal or financing. Banks and lending institutions treat both types of construction the same. Many banks prefer modular houses because of the fixed cost and clear description of what they are financing. Likewise, there is no difference in insuring the modular property.
How do I save money with a custom-built modular home?
When you add up all the labor, material and time savings inherent in the modular building process, you will find that the price of a modular home is generally lower than a site-built home of comparable size. Buying materials in bulk and having a fixed cost instead of being subject to cost overruns are examples why the modular building cost can be lower than site-built homes. From start to finish you can expect your modular home to be completed within 12 to 14 weeks, ready to move in! Speed, convenience and quality are some of the many advantages for choosing a Modular Home .
