One of the most common questions we get about double wides is, “What makes a manufactured home different from a stick-built home?” The primary difference between the two is that manufactured homes are built in a factory and then transported to your lot. Site-built or “stick-built” homes are constructed directly onsite. Because they are built in a factory setting, manufactured homes come along with a wide range of benefits. For one, they are cheaper to build and are therefore typically more affordable than traditional stick-built homes. Secondly, manufactured homes are not subjected to the elements such as rain, snow, and ice while they are being built, unlike conventional site-built homes. Finally, manufactured homes like single wides and double wides are moveable, which is one of the many reasons why people choose manufactured homes over a conventional build. It’s also important to note that, unlike the mobile homes of the past, today’s for sale manufactured homes are built to conform to the national Housing and Urban Development (HUD) code and are inspected, although they do not necessarily have to comply with local building codes. If you’re looking for a mobile home sale or a great mix of affordability and comfort, buying a double wide might make the most sense for you.
How is a Modular Home different from a Mobile Home?
Although terms like “modular, “mobile,” and “manufactured” are often mistakenly used interchangeably, there are a few important differences between them. Let’s start with the term “manufactured.” A manufactured home is any home that is built inside a factory and then transported to its site. Our website is filled with manufactured home prices, and photos of double wides, so you should be able to easily find the perfect one. “Stick-built” homes, on the other hand, are built directly onsite.
So what does this mean for your home? In essence, when you buy a modular home, your state or even county will determine its building code, just like it would for a conventionally-built home. For this reason, a modular home is indistinguishable from a traditional stick-built home.
