US Modular Review

US Modular is a prefab builder based in Redlands, California. US Modular’s floor plans range from 232 square feet to 2,747 square feet, with over 163 different models. In terms of style, their prefab units generally feature a ranch or cape cod design, with overhanging eaves, wood shingles, symmetrical facade, and a rectangular footprint. All their models are fully customizable, including both modular and manufactured homes. It is worth noting that manufactured homes are built to a federal building code, established by the HUD. As such, while manufactured homes are often cheaper to build, they are appraised differently and they do not appreciate the same as a modular or site-built home. Homes arrive on site in a highly finished state and include fixtures, appliances, windows, doors, plumbing, electrical, heating, and air conditioning. 

It is worth noting that US Modular acts as the project manager for home builds. In most cases, US Modular handles aspects such as site work, permitting, installation, and finishing the home however, they rely on designs and manufacturing services from 3rd party companies. In some instances, they may outsource site work to independent contractors. Because homes are delivered in a highly finished state, there is very little work to be done before they are move-in ready and on-site work is finished quickly. Homes can be delivered, set, and completed in as fast as 4 months.

Strengths:

  • Offer prefabricated ADUs and single-family homes at a competitive price

  • Homes are delivered quickly and in a highly-finished state

  • Offer a 2-10 year warranty, covering structural damage, plus electrical, plumbing, and heating repairs

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • You want a company that will handle all phases of the project personally, including design, manufacturing, site work, and installation

  • Some past customer reviews from other sites were frustrated by their subcontractors and lack of  communication
