Move into the custom modular home of your dreams

There was a time when pre-manufactured homes looked like generic warehouses made from pre-designed parts with the same few designs used over and over again. This inflexibility in design and construction would often turn off prospective homebuyers, but not anymore. The advent of advanced modular fabrication techniques and an increasing array of design and material options has made modular housing a much more attractive option. Modular cabins and homes are now customizable to meet almost any client demand.

Companies specializing in modular homes are now increasingly focusing on customization options for their clients. Even for homes that start with roughly designed floor plans, everything is discussed on the table to create the best design to suit client specifications and leave room for adjustments along the way. Modular home construction has come such a long way that the smallest details can be considered for customization. In fact, productions of fully customizable modular homes are on the upswing. Some modular homes builders are also willing to use hybrid modular and site-built construction on the site to deliver your construction needs.

If you plan to buy a modular home for your family, it is better to freely discuss your needs with your contractor so that they can create a modular design that fits your description as closely as possible. Here are some of the most common customization options for your modular home. Looking at these options could help get you started thinking about plans for your new home in Virginia, cabin at the lake, or other building plans.

• Flooring
  You can choose from a variety of flooring materials for your modular home. Some of the most common are wood, parquet, or carpeted floors. Also, flooring design and color options vary widely, so you can be sure to find the perfect option.
• Roofing
  Roofing options for modular homes vary from one modular housing company to another so make sure that the building company you are considering offers the roofing option you want. The most common options include pre-fabricated stainless steel roofing and a variety of roof tiling options.
• External siding
  External wall siding is easily the most obvious part of any home exterior, so customization is almost always warranted for this detail. There are a number of options that include vinyl and aluminum siding and even brick siding. Of course, you have to assemble the external wall siding on the building site first before you can add the brick layer to the wall.
• Windows
  You can always choose where the windows should be placed and most plans include provisions for additional windows in locations you specify. There are also numerous choices when it comes to window types, size and designs.

These common modular home customization options provide enough customization for many modular home buyers because modular home providers are continuously coming up with increasingly stunning pre-designed modular home packages for buyers to choose from. This helps move them further toward the goal of producing modular homes that are comparable with a site built home in design, stability and comfort with the added perk of speeding up the whole building process to enable you to move into a new home faster than ever before.
