When you are considering a new home or cottage, you should be looking at all your options.. a local builder, a pre-existing home, but are you considering a modular home for one of your options?  If not, you are loosing out!

On my way home from work , I have been passing a site where they are doing new construction by a local builder.  I've seen the frame go up over the course of a few weeks, but since then, it has been at least 2 months since I've seen anything else done.  I have seen hail here in the past two months (yes, it is summer!) high winds, torrential downpours and every time I pass the site, I think why would anyone want the most important part of their home/building.. the structure.. be in these elements so long?  I can't imagine what that does in the long run to a home.  I've seen water damage before and it doesn't take much to ruin wood.  Modular homes are built indoors in a climate controlled facility.  You don't have to worry about the structure being ruined by Michigan weather.

I've also had conversations just recently with some customers that have told me their experiences just trying to start with a local builder.  They felt it was not an option just based on the initial conversations.  Modular home dealerships have someone available almost 8 hours a day to sit down with, discuss, ask questions and just be available for you.

So what would your average time be to build a home on site?  6 months, a year or longer?  Modular homes can be built in 4 to 6 weeks while your site is being worked on at the same time.  Why so fast?  Modular home manufacturers have everything they need to start building your home that day.  When you stop at Progressive Living North, you can have prices of hundreds of floorplans and options available to you at that moment.

So then you wonder, what do some people see in a site-built home versus a modular?  The price of a modular per square foot is a lot less when compared feature to feature, modular homes are built quality to the same code as a site-built but built indoors and faster, modular homes offer ranch style, two story, chalet, cape cod and the option of customizing to what your looking for and we work with manufacturers that supply name brands like Trane, Moen, Shaw, Whirlpool and more!  So I ask again, why wouldn't you choose a modular home?

I had a customer once say "well modular homes aren't built as well" and when I asked what he was looking for in the home that a modular couldn't provide he stated "2x6 walls".  Well, I replied, that comes standard with any Century home!  What else I asked?  Surprisingly he couldn't think of anything else.  You know what the problem is?  Its the lack of knowledge people have of modular homes.  So learn up, because its going to be a modular home world out there!

MODULAR WINS EVERY TIME!
