There is a reason they don't allow modulars in some areas. Same reason the insurance companies don't like them or finance companies don't want to finance them. Who knows what kind of, if any inspections where done to it. Try selling one after you move it onto your property. There is no way that a factory built house made in 2 sections and moved to a foundation, set on it with a crane will ever be a better built home than a site built one. Site built homes are matched to the foundation, bolted down to the foundation, each board has time to settle to it's final resting spot before the sheetrock goes on. All the wires are run continuous to the fuse panel, no quick connect connectors. How is a hinged roof that is folded up and screwed together when it is set on the foundation better than one that is cut, nailed together one piece at a time? I saw one set on a foundation one time. Not an anchor bolt on the foundation. When they set it together, the top was open 4 inches at the peak and tight at the bottom. They just run the vinyl siding over it and called it good. Don't know how it looked on the inside. It didn't fit the foundation either. The house was actually out of square and hung over in one corner and in on another. Nice! They rolled the carpet back where the floor came together and then rolled it back after it was together. You still have to site frame a garage to it if you want an attached unit. Now you can tear your new shingles off and make the valleys fit to your new home and replace your new shingles. Did you get to pick the color or weight or warranty of those shingles that came with your modular? Tear your new siding off so you can attach the walls to your new home and then replace it. I haven't seen a site built home built for many years that isn't 2x6 walls. In my 32 years construction experience, my customers would never accept the standards of fit and trim that comes with a modular home.
