Proto Homes Review

Proto Homes is a highly modern prefab and modular home company that works on projects throughout California. Proto Homes offers fully custom home designs which once started, can be completed in as little as 7 weeks. Floor plans from Proto Homes are completely unique to each project though in all homes, the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems are centralized in their patented Proto Core room.

From a logistics standpoint, houses from Proto Homes include the foundation, framing, infrastructure, and exterior finishes. Therefore, a general contractor is required to complete the interior finishes of the home. Proto Homes has completed homes across California and can support single family residences, accessory dwelling units, and multi-unit projects. The aesthetic is decidedly modern looking with a durable exterior cladding. 

Strengths

  • Total flexibility - buyers receive a floor plan specific to their lot

  • Interior finishes can be fully customized

  • Plans are good fit for suburban and city lots

 

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • You’re not in California

  • You don’t like the aesthetic

  • You want the interior and exterior fully completed by the same firm
