In the past, mobile homes did not have the resale value of site-built houses, because they did not have the appearance of a house, nor were they built like one. Today, many have house-type appearances, but there is only one actually being built with house quality construction and materials... an Award Winning Valley Manufactured Home... with more standard features for higher resale and a better value.
Valley Homes | vs | Other Providers |
---|---|---|
2 x 8" floor joists and 2 x 6" exterior walls. | Most use only 2 x 6" floors. | |
All studs and joists on 16" centers using #1 or #2 kiln-dried lumber stored indoors | Many others are 24" on center and store lumber outdoors where moisture can cause it to warp in the home as it eventually dries out. | |
All 2 x 4" Interior walls | 2 x 3" and some 1" lumber (not strong enough for use in the construction trade). | |
Full-size 36" Exterior doors. | Undersized doors and some trailer-type that swing out instead of in. | |
Windows - standard sizes in 6" increments | Odd sizes with very limited replacement availability | |
Plywood roof with hand-tabbed shingles | Pressed board which will deteriorate when wet, and very few hand-tab shingles | |
All batted insulation. Comes in rolls with backing for moisture protection and is attached to remain in place. | Blown-in insulation. It is inexpensive and easily installed, but can pack down with settling or moisture and lose its insulation ability. Higher heating costs. | |
Plumbed with copper water lines thru-out. | Cheaper plastic plumbing without fittings; causing difficult repairs when needed. | |
Sinks and tubs with overflows, full size shower stalls, steel porcelain sinks, and premium faucets - all name brands. | No overflows, smaller showers, 2 piece or plastic fixtures that cannot be repaired. | |
Electrical outlets and switches firmly attached to studs. Rocker switches throughout. | Some fasten them only to sheetrock. Not nearly as permanent and more likely to cause problems. | |
Durable James Hardie Fiber Cement siding. Guaranteed for 30 years | Some use siding that isn't resistant to varying climates, fire and insects. | |
All 1/2" sheetrock on the walls, 5/8" on ceilings. | Some wallpapered paneling and 3/8" sheetrock; less fire resistant and less puncture proof. | |
Full size eaves, front and back, to prevent stain on windows and siding. Built with 2 x 4 truss ends and 2 x 6 facia board for attaching patio covers, gutters, etc. | Front eaves only, if any, and 2 x 2 truss ends unable to withstand nailing. | |
Oak hollow core 32" interior doors (wood Jambs, frames, and trim). | Pressed board frames, photo finish paper, or skimpy door jambs. | |
Sturdy oak module cabinets, screw-assembled with adjustable shelves, and drawers with metal roller guides and plywood bottoms. | Photo paper, particle board, stapled assembly, or roughly framed with no interior sidewall, backs, or bottoms. | |
A stronger roof rated at 40 lbs. per square foot. | 20 or 30 lb. rated roof. | |
Insulation of R -38/49 in the ceiling, R-21 wall, R-33 floor, and a large 5x15" R-6 heat duct to reduce heating costs. | Lesser insulation and a smaller tin heat duct with no insulation. | |
Laminate/oak window ledges on most models for moisture and warp protection. | Sheetrock or paneling. | |
Rolled countertops with a seamless backsplash for moisture protection and easy cleaning, or tile backsplash. | Seamed countertops or no backsplash. | |
Upgrade carpeting treated for stain protection and 6 lb. pad. | Usually minimum spec. grade carpet and pad. | |
50 gallon quick recovery water heater. | 30 or 40-gallon standard for most. | |
Premium guarantees of 10 years of more on paint, shingles, siding, windows and doors. | Lesser quality materials with only a one-year warranty. |
