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.

Are you in the market for a new home. If you live on a piece of land  you really enjoy it, but want a new home, consider building a custom designed modular home.

Modular construction is a green and energy-saving form of construction when compared to typical stick-built.

Tidewater Custom Modular Homes recently built a custom modular home with loads of new home amenities. The house offers quartz counters, hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, ceramic tile floors in the baths with floor heater strips, a tankless hot water heater, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems and 50-year architectural shingles. Elevated front and rear screened porches offer scenic views.

The home is a three-story house with 2,700 square feet of modular-built living space on two floors.

The price per square foot was $110 which is significantly less money than a stick built custom home which can start around $125 per square foot and can easily reach $200 per square foot.
