PA Modular Home Plans

Modular Home Additions - As land becomes more and more scarce, and even more out of the reach wallet-wise for current homeowners looking for a larger home, the practical solution is constructing an addition. Rather than spend months without a roof while a second floor is being stick-built, a number of homeowners have sought a more practical solution -- doing a modular addition. Therefore you will need some good PA Modular Home Plans.

But call a modular home dealer in Pennsylvania and this is what you'll usually hear: "Good afternoon. this is ABC Modular Homes. How can I help you?"

"Hi, my name is Jane and my husband and I are interested in putting an addition onto our house."

"Great, are you looking at a side-by-side addition or adding a second floor?"

"Well, we really want a garage."

Here's where you'll hear a pause followed by a disenchanted "Oh" on the other end of the line.

Because modular homes are built in a factory, typically hundreds of miles away, a number of modular dealers are not too keen on doing smaller jobs. Factoring in the cost of the job, plus freight, crane to set the garage and converting the existing house to meet the garage is not a profit-making venture -- for the dealer and the customer.

However, if the customer wants a full blown addition with bedrooms, bathrooms, maybe an extra kitchen, then modular additions are to be considered. Because there is a great deal of custom work involved in doing an addition, the time frame for completion is longer, but might be well worth it.

Before deciding any addition to your home, check with local building codes to see what is permissible in your city or town. If you would like more information on PA Modular Home Plans or would like a builder in Pennsylvania to contact you, please fill out our short form below.
