Yes, in fact there are four warranties.
First there is a one-year warranty from the date your house is set on it's foundation provided by the manufacturer of the modular home.
Second, there are warranties provided by the suppliers of the materials used in your home. For example, roof shingles have a limited lifetime warranty.
Third, a ten year structural warranty is provided by a 3rd party insurance company.
Lastly, Kozyra Construction warranties the work we do for one year.
The modular home company offers a long list of options and Kozyra Construction can provide additional options on site.
A drop-off modular home is when Kozyra Construction sets the modular home on your foundation. Then we make the house weather tight, which includes the roof shingles and air infiltration wrap.
We also install all bolts and steel strapping as well as air sealant at joints in the home to prevent air leakage. The owner would then finish the house or hirea local contractor to finish the house.
A turnkey modular home is when Kozyra Contruction does the complete project, from digging the cellar hole to the touch up paint. We can also include the well, septic system, and planting the landscaping and lawn.
Yes! You can make changes to our standard floor plans or Kozyra Construction can build from your floor plans to your specifications.
Yes, we can do both traditional and modular additions. We will usually stick build small additions, porches, decks, garages, and sunrooms.
However, if the addition includes a kitchen or bath it will likely be more economical to do it as a modular addition.
Depending on the design, up to 90% of the modular home is completed at the factory.
When the house leaves the factory, the sheetrock, finish flooring, kitchen cabinets, plumbing fixtures and electrical circuits are then installed.
They are many reasons, but the main reason is mass buying power. The modular factory gets much better pricing because they buy all their materials in large quantities.
The other reason is efficiency. Things can be done much faster and more efficiently in a factory's climate controlled environment. Thereare no rain or snow delays. They have overhead cranes to move large pieces quickly and safely, and workers can specialize in one area of building (drywall, framing, roofing, etc...).
Yes, if the ground work is completed before the ground freezes, we can work on the homes during the winter.
There is no difference in financing a modular home. If you have questions about financing or need advice, please contact us.
From the time you order your modular home, it usually takes 6-8 weeks to get the modular home from the factory and another 5-7 weeks to complete the onsite work.

The goal of Green Building is to use our resources wisely so that we get the greatest amount of good, for the greatest number of people for the greatest amount of time.
The homebuilding industry can accomplish this in a number of ways.
Starting with the selection and development of the building site.
Another component to consider in Green Building is Entergy Effeciency.
A third category would be efficient use of resources.
A fourth goal would be to conserve water.
The top priority of Green Building should be the health, safety and comfort of the occupants.
To reduce the chances of mold in the attic:
To reduce the change of mold in the basement:
Install provisions for radon vent.
In the living areas control moisture
Another goal of Green Building should be easy and low maintenance.
Lastly, the homeowner should read and understand all instruction sheets and manuals provided for the components used in constructing the home. Not following instructions may result in premature failure.
Universal designs remove barriers that would limit a person's full use and enjoyment of their home.
Some suggestions to implement this plan include:
HERS rating is a process that calculates the relative energy efficiency of your home. The lower the number, the more energy efficient your home is. For example a score of 60 means your home is 40% more energy efficient than the RESNET reference model.
Modular homes are built according to the state building code. They are easier to obtain a mortgage for and they do not have to be built in a mobile home or trailer park. Modular homes have greater resale value.
A blower door test measures how airtight a house is. An air tight home is less expensive to heat in the winter and cool in the summer.
