All About
Manufactured Homes

Yes — modern manufactured homes are extremely safe, thanks to strict federal regulations, improved construction materials, and advanced building technologies. Since June 15, 1976, all manufactured homes have been built to meet or exceed the standards set by the HUD Code — a national building code enforced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This code covers everything from structural integrity, fire resistance, and electrical systems to plumbing, heating, ventilation, and energy efficiency. In fact, manufactured homes must be designed to withstand high wind zones, heavy snow loads, and seismic activity. Every home also undergoes multiple inspections throughout the building process, which is often more than a site-built home.

Yes, they can. Just as with a traditionally built home, a well-maintained home will last. Many manufactured homes from the 1960s are still lived in today! And, construction and standards have only improved over time.

Yes, we often make adjustments such as enlarging a room, moving a window or door and so on.

You will find luxurious features — like 9-foot ceilings, glamorous master baths with jetted tubs, custom solid wood cabinetry, quartz, and granite topped islands, clerestory windows, French doors and even fireplaces with solid stone accents. There are many beautiful flooring options including everything from premium vinyl plank to real hardwood, from travertine tiles to plush carpeting.

Yes. Of course, it will depend on the weight of the solar system you select and the weight limits of the roof of the manufactured home you select.

No problem! We specialize in placing homes on small or uniquely shaped lots. Every home can be customized to fit your space, whether it is a backyard, a tight corner, or a mobile home park community.

Yes, an ADU can absolutely be built above a garage. While it does require more detailed structural planning, especially to ensure the garage can support the additional load, it is a fully permitted and increasingly popular option for maximizing space.

We have placed many homes on tribal reservations, often serving multiple generations of the same family. The process can be extremely fast because the city or county permitting is not required.

“ADU” is an acronym for Accessory Dwelling Unit. An ADU, commonly referred to as a backyard home or granny flat, is a secondary home on a lot that already has a primary home. In general, ADUs need to be under 1,200 square feet and smaller than the main home. However, some zip codes restrict ADUs to a smaller size.

We manage the entire process from start to finish. This includes removing your existing home, designing your new one, securing city and community permits, preparing the lot, delivering, and installing your home, and adding optional features like garages, carports, sheds, walkways, stairs, awnings, landscaping, and more!

While some mobile home parks have rules about size, or style, most welcome and encourage replacement homes because they upgrade the property. We work closely with parks to ensure your new home meets all requirements.
