There seem to be a number of choices out there, what makes California Modular Houses the best choice for me?
Yes, when you do a web search, there are a lot of choices out there. Yet, when you delve into them, you will learn for yourself why we are the best choice.
There are many, many reasons, let’s list a few.
We have been doing it for 20 years. Our record and history speaks for itself.
We can show actual pictures of homes of what we have done rather than just renderings of what we think we might be able to do.
We fundamentally understand the building system, everything starts with you and the modular home you choose.
We have extensive knowledge of plans and permitting, you are not alone.
We answer the phone and our emails, we are here for you.
When you ask a question, we can almost always answer it right off the bat rather than trying to find someone who has more than a few months working with modular homes, or someone just looking nice on the sales team who doesn’t get it.
We don’t have investors to think about or have to pay back, this keeps your home reasonably priced.
We don’t answer to investors, we work directly for you to get you your home.
You won’t call us and ask about a modular home and we try to sell you a manufactured home and convince you that they almost look the same when done (completely disregarding the value inherent in modular that is not the same for manufactured).
Once you have done your research, you will find out that there are very few legitimate companies that aren’t trying to sell you something they have never done, never built before, or that have your best interest at heart. Here at California Modular Houses, we want you to be 100% satisfied with your home. We are looking for lifetime relationships with our clients. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing a home that you designed and talking to the person you built it for and hearing how they love their home.
