What is the value of my current home?
There are many factors involved when finding out manufactured housing prices and values. We suggest that you browse your local yellow pages and find a real estate appraiser who is familiar with manufactured housing values. Some appraisers may even take into consideration how much land comes with the house, the location and views, and any improvements that have been done to the house and the property, etc.

I have questions about delivery and setup options?

How does manufactured housing compare to site built housing?
All manufactured homes are built entirely in the factory under the federal code administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which went into effect June 15, 1976, and has been upgraded numerous times. The code covers single- or multi- section homes and includes transport to the site and installation. Regulations include: design & construction, strength & durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency & quality. Manufactured homes are built on a chassis and delivered to a site on several sets of axles; they are primarily intended to be affixed to a permanent foundation. Modular homes are built to state, local or regional code where the home will be located.

            Our homes are built in a factory which means our manufacturers utilize labor saving techniques not practical for the average site builder. A factory environment also reduces the amount of “lost time,” damaged materials that are common sights on any construction site, and improves the flow of materials. Due to high volume, our manufacturers are able to purchase materials at a more favorable price than most contractors. The savings can be significant. In the form of affordable housing, these savings are passed on to you.

Do you supply the land to go with the home?
Yes, we offer Land/Home packages. For a recent list of Homes on Land for sale, please feel free to contact us.

Do you have any used or repossessed homes available in my area?

Where can I find the HUD and Serial numbers on my current home?
From 1994 to present, the Data Plate (includes model, serial number, HUD number and other information on the home) should be located in the master bedroom closet.

            1993 and prior, the Data Plate could have been placed in any number of positions. The master bath vanity door, a kitchen cabinet door, or the utility room, to list a few. On the front header, all models will have the serial number stamped. This is the I-beam running across the width of the front of the home. When standing in front of the home, it will be located on the left hand side of the header.
