Here’s your step-by-step guide to building a modular home with us:

1. Start with a Vision

Think about your lifestyle, needs, and budget. Modular homes can be customized to fit almost any style, whether it’s modern, traditional, or something uniquely your own. Our design experts are here to help bring your vision to life!

2. Choose Your Design

Browse through our wide variety of modular floor plans or collaborate with us to create a custom design. From open-concept layouts to energy-efficient features, we have options to match your preferences.

3. Secure Financing

While modular homes can be more affordable than traditional homes, it’s important to secure financing. Speak with a mortgage advisor familiar with modular homes to ensure your loan is processed smoothly.

4. Select Your Land

Have you already chosen the perfect location for your new home? If not, we can help! Make sure your land is properly zoned and ready for installation, and we can handle the site prep, too.

5. Permits and Approvals

Before construction begins, we’ll help you navigate the necessary permits and approvals for your area. Every municipality has different requirements, and we’re here to ensure all is in order.

6. The Building Process

Once everything is approved, your modular home will be built in a controlled environment, minimizing delays and maximizing efficiency. Our experienced team will handle everything from manufacturing to transportation.

7. Delivery and Installation

The best part! Your home will be delivered to your site and carefully installed by our expert team. This process is quick and efficient, often taking only a few days.

8. Finishing Touches

Once the home is installed, it’s time for the finishing touches—interior details, landscaping, and everything that makes it yours! Whether it's flooring, paint, or custom cabinetry, we help you create the home of your dreams.

9. Final Walk-Through

Before you move in, we’ll conduct a thorough walk-through to ensure everything is up to your standards. We're committed to quality and want you to be completely satisfied.

10. Enjoy Your New Home!

Once the final inspection is complete, it’s time to enjoy your new space! With a modular home from Tidewater Custom Modular Homes, you can rest easy knowing you’ve made a smart investment in both comfort and value.
