Sold on Style: Modular Homes for the Midwestern Life

Information may not be reliable

When you need a new home for your growing family, don't let style take a backseat to your budget. With its combination of quality construction and controlled costs, modular homes provide a step forward into the lifestyle you're looking for. With all the benefits of a site-built home, but at a lower cost and with faster delivery, there are many good reasons to buy a modular home.

Modular homes are constructed in a controlled factory environment. Quality materials don't have to be shipped in and highly skilled workers are always at hand. Work won't halt due to bad weather or delayed deliveries so resultant cost overruns are practically nonexistent. The speed of delivery also lowers construction insurance costs. At a savings of $15-25 per square foot versus site built homes, the homebuyer's budget for quality features is greatly expanded.

Modular homes are also solidly constructed. To withstand the rigors of transportation they typically use better building materials and contain 20-30% more material than a site built home. The result is a safe and durable home that protects your family from harsh Midwestern winters and hot, humid summers.

Factory built also means a healthier environment for your family. The possibility of mold growth can happen when construction materials are allowed to get wet before installation. Modular home manufacturers in Indiana protect their building materials, resulting in a home that is healthier and environmentally friendly.

Once established in a neighborhood, families often are unwilling to relocate even when they outgrow their home. The affordability of modular homes allows younger families to get established now knowing that they can expand later, rather than "upgrade" to a larger home elsewhere.

These aren't cookie cutter homes with limited style choices. Modular homes offer enough options to satisfy your inner decorator. Are you longing for a country home with a wraparound porch and fireplace? Is a classic Cape Cod with tray ceilings and an attached garage more your style? And with name brand features such as Anderson windows and Kohler faucets, you know you are getting quality goods that won't look off-the-shelf.

If you are ready to take a look, companies such as Rochester Homes, Inc., a modular home manufacturer in Indiana, build model homes right in front of their factory. When you buy a modular home for your family, you'll get a customized home that surpasses your expectations. One that is truly your own.
