Frequently Asked Questions About Modular Homes
The most frequently asked questions and answers about Nationwide Custom Homes and building modular homes.
Question: Can I really customize my home?
Answer: Absolutely. The process starts by reviewing our 70+ plans to find the kind of home you want. The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and square feet can be used as the basis of the search and then the customization begins. We are able to alter many plans to fit the site to utilize the natural surroundings. We have switched the kitchen on some homes to the other side of the design to have it on the back of the home.
Question: Are there a lot of features to choose from?
Answer: Of course. We have a number of suppliers that you will be able to select almost everything from the hardwood floors to the crown mouldings. Custom Made Easy is our pledge and commitment to you.
Question: How do I as a builder benefit from Nationwide Custom Homes?
Answer: You leave the construction to us. You will be able to rely on us as your planner, designer and workforce to complete the project. We have the plans, the crew and the ability to build a home from start to finish much faster than regular stick-building. Custom Made Easy for the builders too.
Question: Will my home really be riding on the back of a truck?
Answer: Because of our centralized manufacturing facilities we do transport the modules to the site by truck. Because of this our homes are constructed with more strength and durability than stick-built homes. The added strength not only protects the home during the delivery but it also means your home will stand up to the forces of Mother Nature better than most stick-built homes.
Question: What are Modules?
Answer: Modules are the sections that make up the complete home. Typically homes require two or four modules but we have built homes with eight! The modules are delivered to the site and connected like large puzzle pieces. Each piece is connected to create the complete home. Even though they are sections you won’t be able to tell where they were joined after the final finishing process of the home on site. Once the modules are delivered the home can be completed and ready for move-in in as little as two days.
Question: Are homes really built faster?
Answer: YES! The homes are able to be completed faster because we have everything taken care of before the home goes into production. The plans are set, materials are taken care of and the crew is always ready to go. Building in the factory allows us to work year-round and not have to wait for Mother Nature to allow us to build. Homes can be completed in terms of days rather than months with stick-building.
Question: Will my home be built to my local building codes?
Answer: Of course. We make sure that our homes are built the highest standards and comply with the local building codes. Every home must pass the same requirements as a stick-built home. We go the extra step and make sure our homes are inspected 300 times during the build so everything is the best it can be.
Question: Is financing easy for modular homes?
Answer: Our homes qualify for all mortgage programs. The same mortgage rules and regulations apply to purchasing a Nationwide Custom Home as to a site-built home. Assistance is also available in helping you to determine the financial program that best fits your needs.
Question: What if I want to do some of the finishing work myself?
Answer: Most of our homes are delivered 80% completed with the remaining finishing touches done when the home is on site. Though we are able to deliver a home 100% complete if you want.

What Customers are Saying About Our Custom Homes
"Thank you for all your efforts towards making my coastal house a reality. As you know, the coastal area of south Tallahassee, Florida is isolated from major building supply houses, accommodations, and food services - thus complicating the demands of labor. It is for these reasons and more that I chose to use Nationwide Custom Homes. Not only did the house arrive equipped to handle the high wind conditions of the area, but also afforded me with a nearly - completed home on the first day.
I appreciate your time in teaching me about your company's product and used the knowledge to design the perfect coastal home for our family. The impact to the local environment was minimal and the house never received a drop of rain inside. We considered other systems-built manfacturing plants in the Southeast, and chose Nationwide Custom Homes for the quality of product, sales knowledge and engineering support."
