Many people are confused over the term 'modular home'. A modular home is made up of modules, thus the name modular. It is not a mobile home, a home on wheels or any of the other characteristics that are erroneously applied to a modular home. As a matter of fact, it was recently suggested by a representative of Nationwide Custom Homes that they should be referred to as 'hiPerformance' custom homes instead of modular homes.

A modular, or hiPerformance, home is a standard home made of wood. Instead of being built on-site, it is assembled in a factory using the same materials as an on-site, stick-built home. If you look at a modular home from the inside or outside, you cannot tell the difference in a modular or stick-built home, unless someone told you. The contractor you use is not only a modular certified builder, but normally he is a stick-built contractor as well.

There are many benefits of buying a modular home. I hear you snickering; you think they are all little square cubes stuck together. Maybe 30 years ago that would have described it very well. The choices were limited and they did lack personality. Today's modular homes come in the following styles: ranch, basement ranch, Cape Cod , traditional and coastal styles. There is one to meet your needs, wants and requirements.

My husband and I thought about a modular home 13 years ago when we were planning a home in Tennessee . I wasn't all that impressed with the floor plans and I didn't take the time to learn enough about modular homes to make an informed decision. We didn't build a home; we bought one, then another and finally our current home. Now we are learning all we can about modular as our goal is to have a modular home on the land we recently purchased.

We met with representatives of Nationwide Homes; Steve Payne , Business Development Manager; Mark Kelly , District Sales Manager ; and our contractor, Chris Spors , of Chris Spors Custom Homes, Cleveland, TN. Chris Spors is a certified modular home builder and he will be our go-to guy during this process.

Steve and Mark answered our questions and gave us a history of Nationwide Custom Homes. We were invited to visit their manufacturing facility in Martinsville , Virginia , which we may do as time lines become more established.
