With today’s housing market, low housing lot prices and low interest rates, many people are contemplating building a new home. While contractors who build traditional stick built homes have seen a downturn in business over the years, modular construction at Tidewater Custom Modular Homes has remained steady. Why? Because we build high-quality, attractive homes, in less time, that meet your needs and your budget.

At TCM we have had many conversations with homebuyers who are building a home for the first time. We have learned a few things. While the temptation is to build larger, you can build a modular home that meets your needs, your design style and your budget.

Here are a few things to think about when considering the design and floor plan of your new modular home:

Sit down with your spouse and talk about what you really need in a house. There may be some neat things you want, but what do you need; perhaps three or four bedrooms, a nice sized kitchen, a single modestly-sized family room.

Calculate your home expenses. With a larger home, insurance is much higher. Property taxes and utility bills increase as does your cost of living.

After you decide on a true budget that includes monthly mortgage and the additional expenses, Tidewater Custom Modular Homes can help you design a beautiful floor plan with the design amenities that you want, need and can afford. Contact us.
