Topsider Homes Reviews
Topsider Homes is a prefab home kit builder located in Boone, North Carolina. They specialize in manufacturing kits with a post and beam construction style which eliminates the need for load bearing walls in their home designs. This allows for more open space and frequently, homes with octagonal layouts. Their octagonal home layouts are intended to afford homeowners a good view of their surroundings as many of the external walls feature floor to ceiling windows. Topsider Homes also offers buyers the option for custom designs as well as custom selected interiors.
As a kit home manufacturer, Topsider Homes ships pre-measured, pre-cut materials to the final site and a local builder or contractor must assemble the home and attach it to the foundation. While it is still quicker than a traditional site build, this process takes somewhat longer than a modular build.
Uniquely, Topsider Homes offers a number of floorplans for unique building situations. They have home designs that are intended to be built on hilly or sloped lots which is traditionally a challenge for prefabricated homes. Additionally, they design homes that are hurricane or earthquake resistant and homes that can be built on pilings or stilts. These features make them a particularly popular choice for areas in the caribbean that must incorporate many of these features into one design. What’s more, their kits are available to ship worldwide.
Strengths:
Offer a wide variety of pre-engineered homes in addition to custom designs
Home designs for unique situations: hilled/sloped lots, hurricane and earthquake prone areas, lots requiring homes on pilings/stilts
Reasons they might not be for you:
You are concerned about previous customers’ experiences - while most reviews are positive, there are several negative reviews regarding a lack of communication
You are looking for a company that provides homes in a more finished state as homes are delivered as kits and need to be fully assembled and installed by a local contractor
