Modular homes have 50 percent more lumber than other homes and drywall is installed with screws, not nails. They’re also built in a controlled factory environment and meet or exceed Michigan building codes.
Parkhurst builds year-round, so you don’t have to wait for the warm weather to move into your dream home.
Sharon Crowe, of Parkhurst Homes, said homes take about eight weeks to order and then one-to-three months to build, depending on the sitework that has to be done.
The first step to attaining your Parkhurst home is being pre-qualified for a construction draw loan. The homeowner then meets with a Parkhurst employee, who will work hard to meet all their expectations and needs while educating them about the building process.
Parkhurst Homes caters to many different kinds of customers. There are first-time home buyers and also the move-up buyers who typically wish to increase or decrease their living space.
If land hasn’t been purchased for the home, don’t worry. Parkhurst can assist customers in finding the right realtor.
Parkhurst also owns a 300 site land lease community of manufactured homes in Oxford. The advantage to these homes is that it reduces your monthly payment over building on private land. Many times the payments can be half or less than building on your own land.
