Modular homes are built with up to 20% to 30% more lumber in framing your home to insure a secure and safe trip to your home site,

A special adhesive as well as nails and staples are used in fastening everything together. This creates a sturdier structure. This reduces or even eliminates nail pops commonly experienced in other homes.

Independent third party inspectors perform numerous inspections for each house built. Many cities and counties have no inspections whatsoever and others have a minimum number of inspections.
