When building your dream modular home, it's tempting to keep things simple—but the right upgrades can significantly enhance comfort, value, and efficiency for years to come. At Tidewater Custom Modular Homes, we believe that investing in quality upgrades is one of the smartest moves homeowners can make. Here are the top modular home upgrades worth considering.

1. Energy-Efficient Windows and Insulation

One of the most valuable investments you can make is improving energy efficiency. Upgrading to double- or triple-pane windows and enhanced insulation can drastically reduce your energy bills while increasing comfort year-round.

Why it’s worth it: Lower utility costs, better temperature control, and long-term savings.

2. Upgraded Kitchen Packages

Your kitchen is the heart of your home. Premium countertops (granite or quartz), soft-close cabinets, tile backsplashes, and upgraded appliances can add both style and resale value.

Tidewater Tip: Ask us about custom cabinetry and energy-efficient appliance options.

3. Luxury Bathroom Features

A spa-like bathroom adds a daily touch of luxury. Think walk-in tile showers, soaking tubs, double vanities, and upgraded fixtures.

Why it’s worth it: Increases resale value and enhances everyday comfort.

4. Smart Home Technology

From smart thermostats and lighting to security systems and voice-controlled hubs, smart technology brings convenience and efficiency.

Popular options:

• Smart thermostats (like Nest or Ecobee)
• Video doorbells and keyless entry systems
• Whole-home automation packages

5. Durable Flooring Upgrades

Consider switching standard carpeting for luxury vinyl plank (LVP), hardwood, or tile. These materials offer better durability and are easier to maintain—especially if you have pets or children.

Why it’s worth it: Long-lasting appeal and lower maintenance costs.

6. Curb Appeal Enhancements

First impressions matter. Upgrading siding, roofing materials, lighting, and even adding a front porch or deck can drastically improve your home's look and value.

Tidewater Suggests: Consider HardiePlank siding and architectural shingles for a modern, durable exterior.

7. Custom Floor Plan Modifications

Want an open-concept living area, extra bedroom, or expanded kitchen island? Modular homes allow for flexible layouts tailored to your lifestyle.

Why it’s worth it: You’re investing in a space that’s truly yours—built to suit your exact needs.
