What is a systems built
modular home?
Modular homes are constructed in a climate controlled environment
using state of the art engineering and assembly line techniques.
We use the same brand name building materials and builds to
the same building code requirements as any local “stick
builder”. State or independent third party inspectors
carefully inspect each home we build. Modular homes are shipped
to the building site on two or more carriers, erected on the
foundation by a qualified set crew and completed by Signature
Homes. Signature Homes is an independent business entity,
not an agent of the manufacturer. Once completed, modular
homes are indistinguishable from “site built”
homes. |
How does a modular home
differ from a “manufactured or mobile home”?
Manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile homes,
are built to the HUD Code, a national code for manufactured
housing. The HUD Code, unlike conventional state building
codes used by modular home manufacturers and site builders,
requires manufactured homes to be built on non-removable steel
chassis. Many neighborhoods exclude manufactured homes but
accept modular homes because they are built to the same code
as site-built homes,in most cases better construction as well. |
Are modular homes energy
efficient?
 Yes. our homes are an ENERGY STAR ® partner and committed
to using energy efficient building methods and materials.
Our homes are built standard with 2” x 6” exterior
walls and R-19 insulation, R-30 blown-in ceiling insulation,
warm edge thermopane low-e glass windows, and insulated exterior
doors.

Can I build a custom plan
of my own design?
Computer aided drafting (CAD), allows for precision customization
of your floor plan design. However, shipping restrictions
and production constraints can affect the design. If you have
a plan picked out, we suggest that you submit it for approval
or for changes that will enable us to build your home. We
also have a complete portfolio of floor plans, designs and
elevations that can be modified. Modifications are normally
less expensive than a custom built design. Our goal is to
turn your dream home into a reality. |
How long does it take to
build a modular home?
The time it takes to build your home varies by season and
the order “backlog”. That being said, one of the
advantages of building a modular home is speed of construction.
When your property consultant places your order with Signature
Homes, it will go into the manufacturers backlog of homes
to be built, which typically runs 5 to 10 weeks. While your
home is on order the site work on your building lot will be
completed. On average a modular home consisting of two modules
will take about 6 days to build in the factory. After delivery
to the site and setting the home on the foundation, the builder
will take about 4 to 8 weeks to finish the home. The builder’s
time frame depends on the amount of additional site work,
such as garages, porches or decks that are to be built, and
the builders backlog of other homes to finish. You can move
into your new modular home much quicker than a typical site-built
home. |

Are Ritz-Craft modular homes
covered by a warranty?
 Yes.
Every Ritz-Craft home comes with a full one year limited
warranty and starting in 2007, a 10-year structural warranty.
Ritz-Craft has a dedicated service department that works with
your builder and his staff to provide professional service. In
addition, many of the brand name components, such as appliances,
shingles and siding used in your home, are covered by separate
manufacturer warranties. |
How much does a modular
home cost? Can you send me a modular home price list?
Modular homes are sold to builder/dealers. A
dreamsonthegreens.com marketing consultant may price a home
for you as they are representatives of Signature Homes.
Manufacturers do not sell directly to home buyers because we
depend on dreamsonthegreens.com and Signature Homes to
provide the professional advice, installation, and
completion of our homes. The pricing of a home is dependent
on the options you select and the scope of work performed by
the builder Signature Homes. Therefore, your contract and
pricing will come from your property consultants and or
Signature homes. Please fill out and submit the
Questionnaire at the bottom of our web site and we will use
that information start the process. A dreamsonthegreens.com
property consultant will contact you shortly.Never will you
experience the pleasure in building a new home, as you will
with dreamsonthegreens.com |
How do I finance a modular
home?
Mortgage lenders treat modular homes the same as stick-built
homes and offer the same mortgage options. Modular homes are
also treated the same as site-built homes when it comes to
appraisals and insurance. In addition, modular homes appreciate
in value at the same rate as comparable site built homes in
your area.
