HOW WE HELP YOU
Accessible Site-Built Homes
ACCESSIBLE MODULAR HOMES
Accessible modular homes can be fully customized. However, complex roof lines, artistic influences and large sizes can drive up costs for construction and transportation, making modular less feasible in rare cases.
ACCESSIBLE SITE-BUILT HOMES
Accessible site-built homes can be fully customized. However, since national builders do not build custom homes, Homes for Life Advisory Services works with local builders.
ACCESSIBLE MODULAR HOMES
Labor is readily available since reliable, high-quality carpenters, plumbers, electricians and tile setters are employed full time at the factory by the modular manufacturer.
ACCESSIBLE SITE-BUILT HOMES
Traditionally, labor can be unpredictable, which can cause budgets and schedules to slip. Because of current labor shortages in the trades, it is often difficult to find reliable, high-quality carpenters, plumbers, electricians, tile setters, and other tradespeople. In some cases, especially in rural areas, the site builder may not know the local crews constructing the home. However, because Homes for Life works only with vetted, certified builders, issues like these are not concerns.

Accessible modular homes, built in a controlled factory setting on a jig that is perfectly square, ensure consistently high-quality construction.
