What Builders Do Not Want You to Know
You have seen the ads. You have heard the claims. Modular homes are faster, cheaper, and just as durable as traditional builds. But is that really true? Or is it just clever marketing?
We dug into the facts, and what we found might surprise you.
Traditional homebuilders often downplay modular construction. Why? Because modular homes challenge the status quo. They are built in controlled environments, which means fewer delays, less waste, and tighter quality control. That is a threat to the old-school model of drawn-out timelines and unpredictable costs.
Modular homes are not mobile homes. They are not manufactured homes. They are built to the same local and state codes as site-built houses, and sometimes exceed them.
Built Differently, Built Better
Modular homes are constructed in sections (called modules) inside a factory. These modules are then transported to the home site and assembled on a permanent foundation. This process eliminates weather delays, reduces labor costs, and ensures consistent quality.
Rochester Homes takes this even further. Every module is built with precision, using high-grade materials and modern techniques. The result? Homes that are energy-efficient, structurally sound, and ready faster than you would expect.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that modular homes are “cheap.” In reality, they are cost-effective. You get more value for your money, not less quality. Rochester Homes offers a wide range of customizable floor plans and blueprints, so buyers can tailor their homes to fit their lifestyle and budget.

And because construction happens off-site, you avoid many of the hidden costs that come with traditional builds, like weather delays, material theft, and extended labor.
