Does a Modular home require different financing?2017-05-04T17:25:15-06:00

Financing a Modular home is not different than financing a traditional site built home. Banks and lending institutions treat both types of construction the same. There is also no difference between the two when it comes to insurance. And when it comes time to sell, your Modular home will hold its resale value just as well—if not better—than a site built home.

Can I custom design my Modular home?2017-05-04T17:24:02-06:00

Yes! Sheridan Homes allows you design flexibility and customization.

What does a Modular home look like?2017-05-04T17:23:00-06:00

Modular homes look no different than a site built home. Take a look at the pictures below and see if you canpick out the Modular homes from the site built homes. Here’s a hint—they’re all Modular homes!

How long does it take to build a Modular home?2017-05-04T17:12:52-06:00

One of the great benefits of a Modular home is the quick turnaround time between groundbreaking and occupancy. On average, it takes about two to three weeks to construct a Modular. Once the modules are set on the foundation, it takes about four to six weeks (depending on the weather and the size and scope of the project) for Sheridan Homes to get your home ready for move-in.

Are “modular homes” and “manufactured homes” (mobile homes) the same?2017-05-04T17:11:13-06:00

No. Modular homes are constructed to the same state, county, and local building codes as traditional site-built homes, and are not restricted by building and zoning regulations. Your Modular home is inspected at the factory during each phase of the construction process, and an individual third party inspection agency approves each home before it’s delivered to your home site.

Manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile homes , are constructed to the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Code.

Are Modular Homes “Green”?2017-05-04T17:09:08-06:00

Modular homes, by their very nature, are “Green”. Assembled in a factory controlled environment reduces the waste of material, lessens the environmental impact on the land and the community. A Modular home also allows for a tighter built structure to maximize energy efficiency—all which are key components to “Green” building standards.

How is a Modular Home Built?2017-05-04T17:07:26-06:00

Modular homes are built in segments (modules) in a factory controlled environment. Skilled craftsmen use precise methods and machinery to construct your home, which is actually built stronger that a traditional site-built home, since it is transported and lifted onto your foundation.

Modular homes are models of efficiency and quality. The homes can be custom designed by in-house engineering departments, which eliminate the need of costly outside engineering firms. Since construction takes place inside a factory controlled environment, there are no weather delays, sub-contactor no-shows, or theft of material.

Once the modules have been constructed at the factory, your home is delivered to your home site where it is placed onto your foundation. An experienced set-crew will assemble the modules together on the foundation and then your local builder will do the finish work. Once that is completed, you are ready to move in!
