What’s the difference between a manufactured home and a modular home?

First, our manufactured and modular homes are both built in the same quality-controlled factory environment. But the basic difference between the two is the building code to which they are constructed. Manufactured homes are built to comply with the federal HUD code, while modular homes are built to a state or local residential building code.

Where can I tour one of your homes?

Our homes are set up at retail sales centers (dealers) across the northwestern states including Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Northern, California and parts of Washington. Please contact us for a list local retailers/dealers in your area.

Can I take a tour of your manufacturing facility?

Yes, we currently offer factory tours by appointment only.

Can a factory built home be placed on a basement or crawl space foundation?

Both manufactured and modular homes can be placed on a basement or crawl space. The specifications for doing so vary from region to region, but both are possible. At Champion, we offer a few different foundation prints to assist the retailer and setup crew with the design of the foundation you decide to use. 

Do your Cape Cod models come with a finished upstairs?

Our Cape Cod floor plans are shipped with a finished first floor and the second floor can be finished as additional living space on-site. Whether you want a few more bedrooms and a full bath or a large bonus room for games and entertaining, one of our independent retailers can work with you to design and finish the second floor area to meet your needs.

What warranty do you offer with your homes?

Champion Homes of Idaho offers a 1 year limited structural warranty plus an additional 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty® through a third party.

How long does it take to build a manufactured or modular home?

The modules for a home are typically completed in less then two weeks from the start of construction at the factory. Once they are shipped, they can be installed and completed within 30 to 90 days depending on the complexity of the home and the site work necessary.
