Tidewater Custom Modular Homes Blog

Green construction, or green building, has become the new trend. However, what started as a potential fad has now become the standard for what many homeowners are looking for. Energy Star, LEEDS Certified, and Green Seal, are just some of the terms and qualifiers people are looking for when building a new home.

Building a modular home is a green way to build a home, using less energy, fewer materials and creating less waste. In fact, Tidewater Custom Modular Homes is a "Green Seal Certified" modular home construction company.  Not to mention, less waste equals less cost, another major advantage of modular home construction.  

The Green Seal™ is given to products, in this case homes, that have a low environmental impact and that work efficiently. All of our modular home styles are Green Seal certified and that means they are the most environmentally preferable products currently available. We also use energy star products in the homes.

We have earned the Green Seal™ by meeting the environmental standards in the home construction category. These standards are determined by intense evaluation and testing. Tidewater Custom Modular Homes are the leadership standard.

Modular construction has been widely misunderstood. Custom designed homes that are made with strength and quality is what you get when you opt for modular construction. We think you won’t be able to tell the difference between a modular home and a traditionally built home. Look at the two photos below. Which is stick built, which one is a custom modular home?  


Both homes are homes were built by Tidewater Custom Modular Homes.  The casual observer cannot tell the difference between custom modular homes and stick-built homes.  If you were a builder, and if you really inspected the construction, you would be able to tell the difference. And you would find modular homes are better built. Contact Tidewater Custom Modular Homes for a factory tour and we will show you the difference.

You need a larger home, so you are going to all the open houses looking for a new house. But you only like some of the things about the house you may spend quite a bit of money over the next 30 years for? Why not build a home? But there is an even better solution than that, build a modular home.

When you are spending this kind of money on a new house, why not be sure the house has everything you need? With custom modular homes, not only can you design the floor plan the way you want it, but the house gets built faster than traditionally built homes.

Finding a home then going through the closing process could even take longer than that. When you build a modular home, you can also add design accents to your custom designed floor plan. A fireplace, garage, custom deck, kitchen island or wood floors. Your home is only limited by your budget.
