how do modular homes hold up over time?

Posted by admin on March 3rd, 2010 and filed under modular homes | 2 Comments »

Just curious if the home in general holds up over time. I know mobile homes are built cheap and bathroom fixtures and cupboards tend to break and wear very easily. Are modulars the same?

For the most part factory built homes, modular, are as good and may be better that site built "stick" homes. Both will last forever if maintained. Being factory built inside a building saves the home from weather damage during construction. The saws and other equipment used to cut and fit the home are better and more accurate in a modular home than a guy cutting a board over a saw hourse in a stick home.

    A modular home is better built than a conventional site built one. Think about it ,they are transported over the road I don’t think a conventional home could withstand the road shock.
