I built a Westchester Modular home in 1996 and it was a fabulous experience. They were great to work with and everything about the build was timely, on budget, and expertly done. The home was great looking, energy efficient and appreciated very well. I lived in it for many years before I moved to another state. I'd use them again in a heartbeat if I was still in their area.
Houses made with SIPS are better for people that have chemical allergies and asthma. They have much less outgassing - and little to no formaldehyde . Very excited to hear this!
I've long lusted after Blu Homes and Method Homes, but thanks for introducing me to some new ones! I've recently been interested in MEKA Modular, a company based in Canada that ships to all 50 states.
I really like the HWS Global's "resistant to mold" materials and concept because my mom has super high allergies and I think it's an amazing option. Now, the question is, are they builders or do they only sell you the material so you can build it yourself? Do they have a design center? They website doesn't give any information regarding this.
@Pamela were you able to figure this out? I am interested in them as well since they're the closest to us (in AR). I've used their contact form twice and left a VM with their sales team but haven't heard back yet.
@@abeeshake0911 hello Abhishek, I have also called, left voicemails and filled out their contact form with no avail. I’d be hesitant to work with a company that is difficult to contact.
I just checked out their website. Really, not a lot of information there. It does seem from the info they do offer that they're selling you the materials, not building it for you. Maybe I missed something....
We looked at Blu, Method, and a couple of other modular companies when we started our project. Here in California they were outrageously expensive for what was being offered. It would have actually been more affordable to do a traditional stick-built home. In the end, since it was for a second home, we went with a cross-mod from Clayton and saved ourselves a little over $500,000.
@@Diagonalforward79 An additional note. We also considered SilverCrest out of Corona, CA. I really, really, really recommend that you visit several dealers and actually walk through the models and take detailed notes and pictures. Many lot models show mostly upgrades and look fantastic. You need to pin the rep down on what is actually included in the base model. We learned adding or moving windows, doors, etc., was not that expensive. But upgrading to stone counters was expensive so that will be an after-purchase upgrade. The Coronado series, although not many exterior options, is well-built with larger windows and standard 9' ceilings, soft-close cabinets, and actual drywall.
How much is a modular home like in the South Bay (by Gilroy)… I can’t find anyplace to go look. But where I live, regular homes start at 600k. The ones I like are 900k to over a million. It’s dumb
Excellent video and I love the look of these homes they are very contemporary and not your typical "A Frame" looking houses that are everywhere. My biggest concern is how well do they stand up to hurricanes and tornadoes living on the East coast? And thanks again for another great video!
🎉 Thank you kindly ! Informative and nice leads into possibilities! Please focus moreso unto more affordable 800 to 1,000 plus sq ft for 2023. Appreciate your keen awareness on any thing for Minnesota North Weather :). Kristine Great Video !
Thank you very much for giving us all these companies. We been thinking of going modular with our kids here in California. Best wishes to you & take care.
Thank you SO much for your expertise Kristina! We live in MA but are planning to retire to a lakeside property in ME in a few years. I have long been thinking about modular homes as a better option to stick built so I will keep my eye on Westchester Modular Homes for sure. Love LA ;-) Much appreciation!
Wow Kristina, as a superintendent in LA for one of the biggest production builders in the area, this is very interesting information. If only I had an angel investor that would help start-up a company 😂
I will definitely be checking out Westchester. Also up in NH is a company I have been looking into called Seacoast Modular that seem super into green building.
Hello Kristina: I just wanted to tell you how much I have and continue to enjoy your videos. You bring a ton of energy, experience and knowledge to the real estate market. You are hilarious and fun! All the best from the Pacific NW!
Hi Kristina, fabulous video. We are looking for multi family modular home manufacturers. You mentioned Method, as one. Do you have a list perhaps (or video?) Of others? Even a duplex or 4 plex is intriguing. Thanks Jon
I've researched a number of "modular" style and kit options and would appreciate your input on some I've found. First, from a traditional standpoint, I've discovered Landmark Homes and Land Co., which manufactures "panelized" shells that offer more than traditional shell homes, because they include the framing inside and out, walls (OSB), subroofing, 2x6 studs,16" apart, so that you're left with more of a structure on which you'd add the rest (most DIY). Next, I have researched quonset homes for their wind resistance and cost efficiency (my property is on the coast of NC). Third, I'd looked at steel structures. The challenges with quonset hut and steel structures is framing the inside. Otherwise, from a cost standpoint, these are clearly the most cost efficient options. Your thoughts?
I wish more of these modular home companies would offer more traditional style homes... It seems like 90% of them all make modern style homes. And my wife and I hate modern style homes. BTW, your videos are soooo funny & entertaining, while still being very informative.
Modular companies tend to be customizable and not cookie cutter. If you're looking for a cottage home and you bring a rough floor plan we can mold it to fit your dream home.
The fact that none are midwest based means they are all EXPENSIVE. Our housing isn't as overpriced as the coasts so there would be sticker shock vs. traditional construction.
We’ve been a big fan of the Blu Home design. They were acquired by Dvele a year or two ago. We’re back in the market looking at build option - so back looking at Dvele (Blu homes) as well as others.
My only issue with a lot of these companies is that they are usually more expensive 10 traditional houses but they always crow about how cheap they are
Hi Kristina Ive been watching for awhile.I appreciate your insight and have learned a lot!Can you tecommend some modular companions for North Florida .Thank you!
Thank You For This Information 💚💚💚💚I Like The Blue Homes...Luxury Steel Frame IS For Me...Have To Look Them ALL Up To See Where They Build ...ALL Divine Doors ARE Open BEfore Me 💚💚💚💚🦅🦅🦅🦅
I really like the HWS building technology and design. From a fire safety prospective, I was curious about the materials in the HWS Homes since the composite panels are constructed with an extruded polystyrene core and laminate veneer and assembled using polycarbonate connectors. These are petroleum based components. What can you tell me about their fire safety record in the event of fire involving the contents of the home or a grease fire on the kitchen stove?
First off...Kristina, thanks for all your insights and valuable information on homes and home buying. I like your straight forward approach. I am going to tour TLC homes in Goldendale, Wa. later this week. Do you have any thoughts on this company? Any info or thoughts appreciated. thanks again... David W.
Wooaa there's another company here in Washington? I stopped my search when I found Lindal Cedar Homes.... I haven't gone through with actually contacting them but I will look into all these others first now. Thank youuuu!!💖
Thank you Kristina for these excellent videos, I will probably be wanting one-level accessible with super (sailboat-type) storage for all my library and dishes with multi purpose rooms for office, gym, guest, and possibly therapy pool in MN or OR, 10,000-12,000 sq. ft. I am open to options, manufactured, modular, not quite so tiny.
Great video! We're going to be considering a modular home that is smaller and NOT necessarily modern-looking. We're in Colorado. Do you have a video on modular home builders with smaller footprints that you'd recommend? Thanks in advance!
Wonder if any of these modular home manufacturers can / will be used by property owners once lots located in Lahaina on Maui are ready to build on? Logistics of building in Hawaii are tough given location and limitations on qualified builders. Maybe manufactured homes can be a solution to the wildfire recovery process?
Love your videos. Great info. Could you do some videos on Cavco Industries? We are buying a manufactured triple-wide Cavco Pinnacle home for our land in CA. Thanks. 😊
Recently found your wonderful website and I am very impressed with your attention to details. Do you have any modular builders near Colorado Springs? Thank you for your response.🤗♦️
Thanks Kristina for your helpful information on those Modular Home builders. I would like to get your opinion on a Modular home builder that I’ve been following for the last two years, waiting for their manufacturing plant to open in Arizona. (S2A Modular)…looking forward to your comments, thanks.
Hello thank you for doing these videos. We need a modular in FLorida and can only find builders that make them look like mobile homes .. can you suggest some?
Looking to build a small modern home for under 100k in Louisiana, already bought land... and watched a lot of your videos... what company do you think I should look into? There's so much information 🤦🏼♀️
Hello. I enjoy your videos and all the information you supply. I would like to know, if you have any idea of reliable, and affordable in Ocala florida????
We are thrilled to be included in your list. We have been building modular homes for over 35 years. Thank you.
Hi I am interested in contemporary style homes
Do you deliver/build outside of New York?
So proud of my Westchester family being on this list❤️❤️
Do you build in Georgia?

@@julienelson6295 sips is a type of framing you don’t bees that company to do it
They are lower
Lenders will not approve my container build but will approve a modular home and these are great options. Thanks!
Would you do a video on modular home builders in the Southeastern region?
I really do appreciate this channel. It's giving me a starting point in my search for a home
My hope for the future is to have a home that can house 4-5 people for 100k-200k.
Modular homes in my area are 240k for 900 square feet. That doesn't include the land.
Most impressed with HWS Global and will keep an eye on them!.
Me, too!!!

Presently having a modular built by Rochester Modular Homes out of Indiana

They meet and even exceed building standards in wind zone areas. That’s why I love them so much.
Can you do one for Florida based modular home companies because I feel like these companies mentioned may not be willing to build in Florida
The first company she talked about is global. Call them and ask about building in FL.
I hope that she would look into Steelx, and S2A, in Florida

Awe! Thank you. I needed that today.
How do these modular homes compare in price to onsite built homes because some that I have checked out are very expensive.

It’s more cost efficient to build square…which is modern…
These modern home just don't look welcoming. I perfer a cottage style.

I've actually been waiting for this❤️❤️❤️
Check out Schumacher. Nice houses but, their prices are too high.
I live not far from Blu homes and have seen their completed sections more than once on my way to the Mare Island VAOPC...
The fact that none are midwest based means they are all EXPENSIVE.

I noticed some of these companies used "foam" as insulation. These are highly flammable materials and often are reffered to as "solid gasoline".
You have to look at the specific foam used, some are not flammable.
Open Cell Insulation is usually used in the factory.
