Frequently Asked Questions

What is an off-site built modular home?
Our homes are constructed in a climate controlled environment using state of the art engineering and assembly line techniques.  Modular homes constructed by Ritz-Craft using the same brand name building materials and builds to the same building code requirements as any local “on-site builder”. State or independent third party inspectors carefully inspect each home we build. Modular homes are shipped to the building site on two or more carriers, erected on the foundation by our qualified crew and completed.  Once completed, modular homes are indistinguishable from “on-site built” homes.

How does a modular home differ from a manufactured home?
Manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile homes, are built to the HUD Code, a national code for manufactured housing. The HUD Code, unlike conventional state building codes used by modular home manufacturers and site builders, requires manufactured homes to be built on non-removable steel chassis.

Ritz-Craft is an ENERGY STAR® partner and committed to using energy efficient building methods and materials.  All Marlette manufactured homes are Energy Star rated.  Eagle River offers energy star packages available on all homes. Your LTS home is built standard with 2” x 6” exterior walls and R-19 insulation, R-30 blown-in ceiling insulation.
