Can
We Buy Just The House And Finish It Ourselves?
We do not "drop-ship" our homes: we do the entire job for you. Despite
what you may have been told by other companies, completing a modular
home is not an easy or quick task. There are numerous details that need
to be handled and you will not save time or money by being a general
contractor. Consider the fact that we employ our own crews and while we
have built hundreds of homes over the past twenty years, it still takes
us approximately eight weeks to finish a home once it is on the
foundation.... and we know what we are doing! By having us do the entire
job, we are the only company you need to communicate with during the
complete building process. You will also know your final cost before you
begin building and avoid surprises during the process. To see what a
"Drop Ship" involves click here.

Do You Offer Options Such As Hardwood And Tile Floors?
Just as in a conventional "site built" home, the options that are
available in our homes are endless. Cathedral ceilings, fireplaces,
Jacuzzi tubs, decks, farmers porches, atrium windows along with tile and
hardwood flooring are just a few of the options available.

Can We Customize Floor Plans Or Work With A Plan We Already
Have?
Every home we build is custom designed at no charge to you. We have
hundreds of different floor plans which can be further modified with the
help of our Computer Aided Design program so you can see your new home
in 3-D before we build it. If you already have a home plan you favor, we
can also work from that design.
What Are Your
Building Specifications?
Our homes are built to the highest standards using only plywood, 2" x 6"
construction, extra insulation and are built not only to meet, but to
also exceed, most state building codes. All of our homes are Energy Star
Certified. As a result, you can not pay
extra to increase our standard specifications since there is nothing
that can be approved upon. Your home will be built indoors using only
name brand materials and top quality construction methods. Please view
our detailed list of Standard Features.

Why Do We
Build Only One Manufacturer's Home?
Westchester Modular Homes has the reputation of being one of the finest,
custom built modular homes in the industry. We do not offer another line
of homes just so we can offer a lesser quality house at a lower price.
Our volume and long relationship of dealing solely with Westchester
Modular assures you the quickest delivery time at the best price. We
offer you value and value means getting the best home at a reasonable
price backed by professional service and top warranty.

How Long Is The
Building Process?
Once your homes arrives on the site and is on the foundation, it
typically takes us eight (8) weeks to complete your home and obtain the
Certificate of Occupancy. However, there is a considerable amount of
time that is needed in the permitting process through the design stage.
In addition, we like to have our foundations cure for three to four
(3-4) weeks before we set the house. As a rule of thumb, from the time
you enter into a building agreement with us until you move in your new
home is approximately a six month time period.

What About After Completion - Is There A Follow-up Service?
We offer the most comprehensive Follow-up Service and Warranty Program
in Southern Massachusetts. There are pre-established service periods
that are used to check on your new home and for added piece of mind, all
modular sections of your home are covered by ten (10) year written
structural warranty issued by the 2/10 corporation.
