Did the fact that modular homes tend to be significantly lower in cost per square foot compared to site built homes play a factor in making them whole again? Did the cost differential (modular vs site built) save them enough to allow purchase of the replacement furnishings out of the insurance proceeds? Or would their replacement coverage have made them whole regardless?
(For those not aware of the difference, modular homes are not trailers. They are regular homes built in a factory as completely finished modules that are then transported to the home site and placed on a prebuilt foundation by crane. Very fast process for getting a home built. Afterwards, siding (or some other exterior finish) is applied making the house indistinguishable from a site built home.)
You are absolutely correct. The reason they chose Modular was because of expediency. They wanted out of the La Quinta and back into their home. It’s very, very nice.
