[QUOTE="Duramaxgirl, post: 1345730, member: 20693"] My husband is a contractor for a living (although we'd both rather own a HUGE cattle ranch) He said that modular homes are built basically as inexpensively as possible. He has seen them with 2x2 trusses and 1/4 inch sheet rock on the inside. He also told me he is amazed that they pass code up here in North Idaho with our huge snow load with the poorly made trusses and structural soundness that is lacking in the roofs. That being said my parents have a modular home that they bought when I was a kid in 1999. They haven't been to happy with it. The sky lights leak. The plumbing leaks and they have had problems with the siding on the outside falling apart and rotting. All houses require up keep. My husband built our house and it has needed upkeep but nothing structural. (we actually did consider buying a modular home because they are so cheap but built instead) Just keep in mind that you pay for what you get and expect to be putting more money and time and headache into a modular home. Also check the blue prints and make sure your home is built meeting or exceeding the code for your area. [/QUOTE]
