Manufactured Homes

A Manufactured Home is often referred to as a Mobile Home, which use to be the case, but the difference between todays modern Manufactured Homes and Mobile Homes is very large! Mobile Homes are homes that were built before 1976 and did not have to follow the HUD code. Manufactured Homes are homes that were built after June 15th, 1976, and follow the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard Act. These standards regulate the construction process of the home, improving the quality of design, the strength and durability of the home, the transportability, the fire resistance, the energy efficiency, and the quality of the home. Additionally, the HUD code puts standards on heating, plumbing, air conditioning, and the electrical systems used in the home. HUD is the only federally-mandated national building code.
