Question 1

What is a modular home?

Accepted Answer

A modular home is a home built in sections inside a climate-controlled facility and then delivered to your property for installation on a permanent foundation. At Kev & Sons Modular Homes, we help homeowners throughout Maine explore modular home options that offer quality construction, efficient timelines, and long-term value.

Question 2

Are modular homes built to the same standards as traditional homes in Maine?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Modular homes are built to the same state and local building codes as traditional site-built homes. In Maine, modular homes must meet all applicable residential code requirements, giving buyers confidence in the safety, durability, and quality of their new home.

Question 3

How much does a modular home cost in Maine?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a modular home in Maine depends on the size of the home, floor plan, customization options, site work, foundation, utility connections, and delivery location. Kev & Sons Modular Homes works with buyers to help them understand the full project scope so they can choose a home that fits their needs and budget.

Question 4

Can I customize my modular home with Kev & Sons Modular Homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kev & Sons Modular Homes offers customization options for floor plans, layouts, exterior finishes, roofing, siding, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, cabinetry, and more. Our goal is to help Maine homebuyers create a modular home that matches their lifestyle, design preferences, and budget.

Question 5

How long does it take to build and install a modular home in Maine?

Accepted Answer

Modular homes are often completed faster than many traditional site-built homes because much of the construction takes place indoors. The total project timeline can vary based on permitting, site preparation, weather, foundation work, and final finish details, but modular construction can help streamline the process for Maine homeowners.

Question 6

Are modular homes energy efficient for Maine winters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Energy efficiency is one of the biggest benefits of modular homes, especially in Maine. Because they are built with precision in a controlled environment, modular homes often feature tight construction, quality insulation, and energy-efficient materials that can help improve comfort and reduce heating costs during cold Maine winters.

Question 7

What type of foundation is needed for a modular home?

Accepted Answer

Most modular homes are installed on a permanent foundation, such as a full basement, crawl space, or slab. The right foundation for your modular home depends on your property, budget, soil conditions, and design goals. Kev & Sons Modular Homes can help guide you through the planning process.

Question 8

Can I finance a modular home in Maine?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many buyers can finance a modular home using traditional mortgage products such as conventional loans, FHA loans, VA loans, or construction-to-permanent financing. Financing options may vary based on your credit profile, lender requirements, land ownership, and overall project details.

Question 9

How does modular home delivery and installation work?

Accepted Answer

Once the home sections are completed, they are delivered to your property and placed on the prepared foundation using specialized equipment. After installation, the home is secured, connected, and finished on-site. Kev & Sons Modular Homes helps coordinate this process so buyers understand what to expect from delivery through completion.

Question 10

Are modular homes a good option for rural properties in Maine?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Modular homes can be an excellent choice for rural properties in Maine because much of the construction is completed off-site before delivery. As long as the site is properly prepared and accessible for transport and installation, modular homes can work well in many rural and seasonal locations.

Question 11

Are modular homes durable enough for Maine weather?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Modular homes are engineered to meet building code requirements and are built to handle transport and installation, which often requires strong structural construction. When properly installed, modular homes are designed to stand up well to Maine weather, including snow, wind, and seasonal temperature changes.

Question 12

Do modular homes come with a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Most modular homes include warranty coverage that may apply to structural components, systems, and workmanship for a specific period of time. Warranty details can vary by manufacturer and builder, so Kev & Sons Modular Homes encourages buyers to review all warranty information carefully during the planning process.

Question 13

Can a modular home increase in value over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When installed on a permanent foundation and properly maintained, modular homes can appreciate in value similarly to traditional homes. Value depends on factors such as location, land value, market demand, upkeep, and the overall quality of the home.

Question 14

What site work is needed before my modular home is delivered?

Accepted Answer

Before delivery, your site may need clearing, excavation, foundation work, utility setup, permitting, and access planning for trucks and equipment. Kev & Sons Modular Homes helps buyers understand the steps involved so the property is ready for a smooth delivery and installation process.
