Most manufacturers now offer warranties to guarantee the quality, workmanship, and major heating and cooling systems of the home for a specified time, usually ranging from one to five years. This warranty also tells the homebuyer what to do if a problem arises. Makers of the appliances provided in the homes also provide either “full” or “limited” warranties.

Generally, a home is a great investment. Appreciation on any home — either site-built or manufactured — is affected by the similar factors: the desirability and stability of the community, supply and demand for homes in the local market, location and maintenance and upkeep of the home. When properly installed and maintained, today’s manufactured homes can appreciate the same as surrounding site-built homes.

Manufactured homes perform as well as site-built homes during a storm.  In fact, the explanation for the reports of damage to manufactured homes from tornadoes is quite simple: manufactured housing is largely found in rural and suburban areas where tornadoes are most likely to occur. As to hurricanes, valuable lessons were learned from the devastation of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which destroyed or damaged thousands of site-built and manufactured homes.

As to hurricanes, valuable lessons were learned from the devastation of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which destroyed or damaged thousands of site-built and manufactured homes. Now, in areas prone to hurricane-force winds, the standards for manufactured homes are equivalent to or more stringent than the current regional and national building codes for site-built homes in these high wind zones. These new standards were put to the test in during the hurricanes that struck Florida in 2004. The result was that not one manufactured home built and installed after 1994 was destroyed by hurricane force winds. Also, proper installation and anchoring of the home is a key element is how a manufactured home will perform in severe weather situations.

This warranty also tells the homebuyer what to do if a problem arises. Makers of the appliances provided in the homes also provide either “full” or “limited” warranties. There are major differences among warranties and these warranties should be provided to you in writing. The retailer also has distinct responsibilities in the installation and servicing of the home. Be sure to have the retailer clearly state in writing its responsibilities and warranty coverage for the home’s transportation and installation.

Most states have laws that govern the installation of a new manufactured home. Your retailer or the subcontractor installing the home is responsible for ensuring that the home is installed in accordance with state regulations and the manufacturer’s installation instructions or with an installation designed and approved by a licensed,
registered engineer.
The proper method of installing the home will depend on the home’s design and the location’s conditions, such as climate and soil type. Depending on the type of loan used to finance the home, the lender may have some specific requirements for the foundation and installation of the home as well.

Many cities and towns, still relying on outdated perceptions and stereotypes of “mobile homes,” have zoning regulations limiting where you can place a manufactured home.

However, more and more urban and suburban governments are recognizing that today’s manufactured homes are virtually indistinguishable from site-built homes and
are allowing manufactured homes to be placed in their communities. Before purchasing
a manufactured home, be sure to check the zoning regulations in the area where you
want to live.

With the vast majority of manufacturers now using the latest in computer-assisted design, you have the flexibility of customizing your home’s floor plans, interior finishes, and exterior designs. Manufactured homes come with “standard” features that you would find in a site-built home. Many floor plans are available that range from basic models to more elaborate designs that feature vaulted ceilings, drywall, fully-equipped
modern kitchens, comfortable bedrooms with walk-in closets, and bathrooms with
recessed bathtubs and whirlpools.
You may also select from a variety of exterior designs and siding materials, including
wood, hardboard or vinyl siding. Many manufacturers also provide homes that are
accessible for those with special needs. If you are interested in such a home, please work with your retailer to order a home with accessible features, such as extra-wide halls and doorways, accessible counters and appliances and specially-equipped
bathrooms.

Today’s manufactured homes are built with the same building materials as site-built homes, but in a controlled factory environment where the quality of construction is superior to what can be done outdoors. HUD’s building code for manufactured housing regulates the design and construction, strength and durability, transportability, fire
resistance, energy efficiency and overall quality of a home.

It also sets standards for the heating, plumbing, air-conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. The HUD Code homes also adhere to a thorough inspection system that takes place at each step during the home construction process in the factory. There are major benefits to having your home built in a factory: Consumers benefit from to the technological advancements and cost savings associated with the factory-built process.

• There is less waste in the factory process than with site-built homes.
• All aspects of the construction process are quality controlled and inspected per
  HUD’s rigorous standards
• The weather doesn’t interfere with construction, cause costly delays and warp or
  damage building materials.
• Technicians, craftsmen and assemblers are on the same team and professionally
  supervised. Inventory is better controlled and materials are protected from theft
  and weather-related damage.
• Construction materials, as well as interior features and appliances, are
  purchased in volume for additional savings.

Most manufactured homes are sold through retail sales centers, many of which are independently owned and operated. Others are owned and operated by a manufacturer.
In some states, you may also buy from a manufactured home community owner or
developer, or if you’re purchasing a previously owned home, a real estate agent.
Most states do not allow you to purchase a home directly from the manufacturer.
Retailers offer a variety of products and services, including helping you customize the
home to fit your needs and budget. Typically, the retailer is also responsible for
coordinating the delivery and installation of your home. And, once you’ve moved in, the
retailer is often the contact for warranty service.

A manufactured home is constructed entirely in a controlled factory environment, built to the federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, better known as the HUD Code. A site-built home is built “on-site” using traditional building techniques that meet either a local or state building code. Starting in 1976, the HUD Code established a stringent series of construction and safety standards that ensure that today’s manufactured homes are superior to “mobile homes,” the term used for factory- built homes produced prior to the HUD Code.
Since then, manufactured homes are dramatically different in appearance and quality those built before 1976. Manufactured homes, like site-built homes, are now available in a variety of designs, floor plans and amenities. Today, they are often indistinguishable from site-built homes and are fully compatible with neighborhood architectural styles.

Manufactured homes provide quality housing and an opportunity for home-ownership. They often cost less than renting, and can offer more square footage and distance from neighbors than an apartment. The cost per square foot for a new manufactured home can be up to 50 percent less than the cost of a comparable site-built home, excluding land costs.

Many of today’s manufactured homes feature innovative designs and custom home features like state of-the-art kitchens, luxury bathrooms and wood burning fireplaces.

Some are also available in amenity-rich communities, which include swimming pools,
tennis courts, golf courses and more – the same features you might find at a resort.
The options for today’s consumer are much more like traditional homes than they were 30 years ago.

Manufactured Homes are built to a set of standards as tough as those facing the site-
built home builder. The Federal Manufactured Homes Construction and Safety Standards and The Department of Housing and Urban Development enforces these standards through the Nation Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards.
The code covers design, construction, durability, strength, fire resistance, energy efficiency and more!

Modern manufactured homes are as safe as traditional site-built homes. The manufactured housing industry produces safe and fire-resistant homes that are in the market today. They are no more prone to fires than homes built on-site. In fact, studies prove it. The results of a 2013 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) report. comparing the impacts of fires on manufactured and traditional housing showed:

• The fire-death rate in HUD Code homes, those built after 1976, was equivalent to
  other site-built housing, and that manufactured homes have 38-44 percent fewer fires than site-built homes.
• Manufactured homes have essentially the same fire death rate as other single-
  family residential homes.
• Manufactured homes have “a lower rate of civilian fire injuries per 100,000
  occupied housing units than other one or two-family homes” and post-HUD
  standard manufactured homes are more likely than other homes to have fires
  confined to the room of origin.

Studies indicate that the vast majority of fires in manufactured homes are related to human carelessness, disproving the assumption that the structure is at fault. The second leading cause of fires in manufactured homes involves mechanical failures in the homes’ heating systems that can occur in all types of homes. Fire resistance provisions of the HUD Code include strict standards for fire retardation and smoke generation in materials, large windows in all bedrooms, smoke alarms, and at least two exterior doors which must be separate from each other and reachable without having to pass through other doors that can be locked. Site-built homes are required to have only one exterior door and no “reachability” requirement.
