At Tidewater Custom Modular Homes, we understand that the process of getting your new modular home delivered and set up is an exciting yet significant step. Whether it’s your first modular home or you're going through the process again, we’re here to guide you through every stage. Here’s a comprehensive look at what to expect during the modular home delivery and setup process:

1. Pre-Delivery Preparation

Before the delivery day, there are a few essential preparations to ensure everything goes smoothly:

Site Preparation: The land where your modular home will be placed must be cleared and leveled. Our team will work with you to make sure the foundation (slab, crawl space, or full basement) is ready to support the home.

Permits & Approvals: Our experienced team will handle the necessary permits, zoning regulations, and approvals needed for your location. Rest assured that we'll ensure everything is in compliance before proceeding.

2. Delivery of Your Modular Home

The big day arrives! Here’s what happens during the delivery:

Transporting the Modules: Your home is built in sections (modules) at our factory, then transported to your site. Depending on your home’s size and design, this can involve several sections being delivered at once.

Safety First: Our team of experienced drivers will carefully transport the modules to your property. We take all necessary precautions to ensure safe passage, avoiding obstacles and managing any tight spaces along the route.

3. Setting Up the Home

Once the modules arrive at your site, it’s time for setup. Here’s a breakdown of what happens:

Positioning the Modules: The first step in setup is positioning each module on the foundation. This process often involves large cranes to lift and place the modules into position.

Connecting Utilities: After the modules are in place, our team will connect essential utilities like water, electricity, and sewage. This step ensures your home is ready for daily living.

Securing the Home: Once the modules are aligned, they are carefully secured to the foundation. This ensures that the home is stable and safe for long-term occupancy.

4. Finishing Touches

After the main setup is complete, we’ll focus on the finer details to make sure everything is perfect:

Interior Finishing: This includes installing drywall, flooring, cabinets, and appliances, as well as making any final adjustments to plumbing and electrical systems.

Exterior Finishing: Our team will also work on exterior finishing touches, such as siding, roofing, and any landscaping elements you’ve planned.

Quality Inspection: Before handing over the keys, we perform a final inspection to ensure that every aspect of your new home is up to our high standards. You’ll also have the opportunity to walk through the home and confirm that everything meets your expectations.

5. Move-In Ready!

Once everything is completed and inspected, your modular home will be move-in ready! From here, you can personalize your space, set up furniture, and start enjoying your brand-new home.

Tips for a Smooth Delivery and Setup Process:

Communicate with Our Team: Keeping in touch with us at every stage will help ensure that expectations are clear and that any questions you have are answered promptly.

Prepare for Weather: While we plan for ideal conditions, bad weather can sometimes delay delivery. Make sure your site is accessible regardless of weather conditions.

Be Patient: Although the process is streamlined, there are several steps to completing the setup. We’ll keep you updated on our progress so you know exactly what to expect.

At Tidewater Custom Modular Homes, our goal is to make the delivery and setup of your modular home as smooth and stress-free as possible. With our expert team and attention to detail, we ensure that your new home is installed correctly and ready for you to enjoy.
