I was not paid by Westchester Modular to talk about their homes, they did provide some travel expenses for this video.

I’ve been in the construction industry for thirty years…. I can assure you, my next home WILL BE a modular home. The fact that building materials are not sitting on a job site - exposed to the elements for days, weeks, months on end during traditional build is reason enough for me. These homes are PROTECTED from the rain during the build - reducing the chance of mold and mildew that might be lurking in your brand new home - behind the drywall…before you ever move in. Modular for me Baby!

Spot on!
I’ve worked at this particular factory for the last 22 years and I can assure you that everything presented and said here is correct.

They do a lot of work at the factory before the house arrives. You can hear the pride and enthusiasm in this man's voice about the homes he is producing. I like that. I am perfectly happy in my manufactured home I bought in 2022. It is on 3 acres in the country and it is nicer than any rental I ever lived in. I am currently creating a rose garden in the front complete with walkway and large stone birdbath. Tall trees offer shade and beauty around the house and there is a large vegetable garden in the back.♥

You can see this business is driven by the passion this guy has for his product

Building an 800sqft right now. Already starting on the base structure early. Just waiting for the final stamped plans based on my design and the permit process starts. Using all metal framing. Flat roof and closed cell foam insulation. 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, kitchen and living space. 5 Ton MrCool central mini split system. On custom piers 2 feet above grade. Total estimated cost: $40, 000. Yes, total.

As a modular homebuilder in Texas, I appreciate this video. Informative and honest. This is a great builder!

I have been researching modular homes for almost 3 years now.
After watching your videos in comparing stick-built modular.
Modular homes are built then a conventional stick built home.
The fact that the most modular home company will do almost 90% of the work for you.
From obtaining the permits to final cleanup.
I am very proud and excited to say that this fall we will be purchasing a modular home.
There are so many benefits to a modular home that is too big to list here.
Just the fact that the house is built so energy efficient that it will take very little to heat or cool to home.
And the fact that you can basically build the house anyway you like it.
Looking forward to starting the build of my retirement home.

Appraiser here. Lots of these in rural Northern Michigan. They're not only built to local code, but also to be strong enough to be driven down the road. Just did an appraisal on a two-story build. Gorgeous. Didn't need inspections every few months to get disbursement. There was a site inspection and one done subject to completion, and then the final 1004D three weeks later. So much less headache for the buyer.

[jamesduncan]

I love that you are being pro-active about affordable homes. Unfortunately I'm beyond being able to buy a new home, but there are lots of younger people trying to start families and looking where to raise them and I appreciate this information being available to them. Thanks for what you do and best wishes to you.

We built and have been living in a modular house for over 30 years in a very nice neighborhood in New York. The best decision ever!

[BrianButterworth-sz]

That big modular looks like a Sears and Roebuck or Montgomery Ward home. I gutted one of those and rehabbed it. Great house that withstood unbelievable neglect.

[lopezmariae]

Hi Kristina, I have been wanting a Modular home since I saw my friend built a modular home in Vermont 15 years ago. Now that you have shared this great company, and this will be a reality in the near future! Thanks for constantly educating and updating us with the latest products in the real estate world.

[paladin]

I've known this for years. I used to work for a company that builds modular buildings in Texas. I was sold when I saw the framing. The homes are built on a jig so every module is square and plum: your don't see a few carpenters measuring lumber and cutting one by one. Every piece of lumber is cut to the correct size before the build starts. Electrical, sheet rock, roofs use the same process. This system is the same way ships are built, completely assembled modules shipped and put together on site: built better, faster, less expensive and way better quality.

[graciemiller]

I have to applaud this video and the reason is when I was a PO in LVNV I had to go to one of these factories to keep the peace between two owners that were having trouble. I was given an opportunity to watch how they build these homes I was so impressed wow!. Now I’ve done a lot of building but after seeing these built really made a change in my mind about modular homes. I would buy one in a heartbeat. Thank you.

[johnrencher]

The stick built industry has blocked Modular and manufactured homes for years, high mortgage rates and telling people that they are not as sturdy… we have the technology and advanced products to build better structures for a lot less cost… I am so impressed my retirement home will be modular for sure.. thanks for the information…

[aerohard]

When you realize they can yank those units into the air without the frame moving enough to shatter the windows, that build is tight.

[ecossearthur]

Update: We are looking at buildling in Mid Tennessee.... Builder is on Pennsalvania... Sales company is based in New York state! Find the right sales outlet, the right builder.... We are blessed that we also have a custom precast basement builder locally! All tied in together!!! 5 star

14:50 It made me giggle to see how content the dog in your lap was!
11:55 I really appreciate his explanation about being either Stick Built Code or the "HUD code" intended for mobile products
Personally, as things are right now in USA, if I had to go new, I'd have much more faith in a true modular than going for a new stick built.

Check out all of the Arizona home inspectors video showing all of the issues with our stick built homes.... Even those 1 million $

We built a modular home this last year. No problems with financing, but found out our insurance company, Progressive, would not cover a modular home. Had to find an independent broker to get home owners insurance.
