These are questions frequently asked of Bolton Homes.

* Manufactured homes are built along the same guidelines as a site built house at about 1/3 the cost.  In comparison to building a site built house in 6 months; a manufactured home takes about 3 weeks.   This is because the factory buys materials in bulk at the best possible prices and stores them in a controlled environment; which ensures uniform quality and safe rapid construction.  The efficiency of factory assembly combined with buying materials in bulk, allows us to keep cost low and pass the significant savings on to our customers.

** The latest test have concluded that a factory built home has a much higher fire safety rating than a site built house.

 

Why should I buy a manufactured home from Bolton Homes?

* There are five good reasons to buy your home at Bolton Homes.

Will a manufactured home stand up to severe weather?

* Yes!  Today's multi-sectional manufactured homes are as strong as a site built house.  Placed on a good foundation and anchored to the ground with approved attachments.  Manufactured homes have withstood hurricanes all along the gulf coast, with the proper wind zone applications, as well as most site built houses.

 Contact us for which wind zone application is right for your location. 

What is the difference between a manufactured home and a modular home?

* While both are built in the same factory, on the same assembly line, they can be quite different.   Kind of like the difference between a 2 wheel drive pickup truck and a 4 wheel drive of the same truck.  Where a 4 wheel drive is designed for a different purpose than a 2 wheel drive.  Both are still quality vehicles.  The same is true for factory built homes. 

   A manufactured (MFD) home is built to National HUD construction codes.  It can be moved anywhere in the country, provided it stays within (or greater than) the same wind zone and snow load (roof load) zone, that it was designed for.  This information can be found on a data plate located somewhere in the house.

   A modular home differs by only meeting the local construction zoning codes for the specific location it is built for.  However, because it is built in a factory it employs the same advantages of efficient factory construction, saving both time and money.  In many cases a modular home may be superior to a site built house, based on the same square footage.  Usually, per square foot, it is priced between a manufactured home and a site built house.  The cost difference to build a modular home versus an (MFD) home can be as low as $5,000.00.  It's the setup of a modular home that cost so much.  Usually about $30,000.00 extra.

Variations:
1.  A standard manufactured house has 2x6 floor joist 24" on center with 2x3 wall studs.
2.  A modular home has 2x10 floor joist 16" on center and in some may have 2x3 wall studs.
3.  A Bolton Homes', Titanium Series home, has 2x8 floor joist 16" on center and 2x4 wall studs 16" on center.  Our Standard!
