Louisiana Modular Homes

Modular homes in Louisiana are becoming extremely popular for many reasons. These homes are less stressful to build and go up in a fraction of the time typically associated with site building. Modular homes are limited only by a designer’s imagination. We have completed oceanfront homes as large as 4400 square feet, with nine bedrooms and nine baths; three-story canal-front retreats, and single family year-round residences.

Manufactured homes have often been taxed as vehicles throughout the years. This resulted in very low property taxes for mobile home owners. Manufactured and modular homes differ from site built homes in that the former do not need a continuous below grade perimeter foundation. Instead, manufactured and modular homes are typically prefabricated at a remote site and then affixed to a generally above ground foundation, or are placed on frost piers that extend below grade, or are placed on block piers that are placed on base pads. Manufacturers must comply with national, State, and local building codes. A typical manufactured home will withstand up to 125 mph winds.

Manufacturers have many design plans in which to choose. Most factories allow for modification of these plans, allowing you to design your dream home. Manufactured and modular homes are also built in a controlled environment and inspected daily by an on-site HUD inspector. So if you haven’t seen our 864 to 5,000 square feet custom homes you’re in a for a big surprise. Manufactured housing, one of the sub-categories of factory-built housing, is sometimes used as the generic term for all types of factory-built housing.
