The Basics of Manufactured Homes and Modular Homes
At Ma Williams, we sell homes, not just walls and floors and roofs. Our clients don’t live in “manufactured housing” – they live in genuine, inviting homes with all of the personal touches and unique features that make your home truly yours.
However, there may be some confusion over what certain terms mean in our industry. Hopefully, this explanation will help make things more clear.
Manufactured homes are not “mobile homes,” though people still use that term to describe them. Today’s manufactured homes are bigger and more deluxe than ever before, and can be permanently affixed to your property with a foundation like any other home. And since Ma Williams wouldn’t let anyone live in a home that wasn’t safe, or one they could be proud to wake up in every day, we build all of our homes to meet and many times exceed the high standards established by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The problem with the word “manufactured” is it makes houses sound like cookie-cutter boxes that roll off an assembly line. That’s not what we sell. Ma Williams homes have hundreds of different floor plans and designs of all sizes and types. If you still can’t find one that works for you let us help you custom design a plan just right for you. You can buy and finance these homes just like you would any site-built dwelling – but at a lower price. Find out more manufactured homes from Ma Williams
Modular homes generally cost a little more than manufactured homes, and take a little more time to build. They offer many of the same advantages as manufactured homes, as well as additional financing options such as rental financing. You can still choose from a wide range of interior and exterior appearances, so you’ll get a home that looks and feels just right for you. All of our modular homes are built to International Building Code (IBC). Find out more about our modular homes.
