Modular Home FAQ
Modular Questions We’re Asked Most
Q1: How do I know if modular building is right for my home project?
Modular building is an excellent choice if you want predictable timelines, factory-built precision, lower long-term costs, and reduced on-site disruption. We provide clear assessments to help you decide with confidence.
Q2: Can modular homes be built year-round, even in Central New York winters?
Yes. Modular homes are factory-built indoors, allowing year-round production regardless of weather. Site work and crane day are scheduled safely, and winter conditions rarely delay the overall process.
Q3: How long does a typical modular home project take?
Most modular projects take 3–6 months from start to finish, depending on design, permits, site work, and customization. Factory construction is completed quickly, reducing delays common in traditional building.
Q4: Are modular homes durable and long-lasting?
Absolutely. Modular homes are engineered to meet or exceed state building codes and must withstand transportation, crane lifting, and placement. This results in strong framing, tight tolerances, and long-term structural reliability.
Q5: What parts of the modular home can I customize?
You can customize layouts, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, fixtures, exterior styles, rooflines, porches, dormers, and more. We guide you through selecting finishes and upgrades that match your vision and budget.
Q6: Do modular homes require special foundations or site conditions?
Modular homes can be placed on full basements, crawlspaces, slabs, or walkout designs. We evaluate zoning, soil, utilities, and site access to determine the safest and most cost-effective foundation for your property.
Q7: What happens on delivery and crane day?
Modules are transported to your site, staged, and lifted into place by crane following strict safety procedures. The home is set, joined, sealed, and prepared for interior finish work — typically completed within one to two days.
Q8: What kind of warranties does Covenant provide for modular homes?
We offer structural, mechanical, and workmanship coverage, plus our exclusive annual Cycle Program — a yearly settlement inspection and tune-up that no other builder in Central New York provides.
