We can help you get a loan!

At Homes45, we help our clients obtain financing for their new custom modular home by putting you in touch with some of the best financing options around. We work with a number of great local banks who are eager to help you build the modular home of your dreams. To build a new modular home, you will most likely need to secure a construction loan. If you are unable to obtain a construction loan or are interested in other loan options (such as FHA or VA loans), give us a call and we can discuss your potential options.

You can usually move into your home within 60 to 120 days from the home setting, depending on the complexity of your project.

For custom modular homes in Michigan, the time frame is typically 60 to 120 days. The 60 to 120 day estimated time frame starts when we set your home on the foundation. KEEP IN MIND: after we have ordered the home there will be a period of time waiting for the home to be built at the factory. The amount of time we have to wait for the factory to build the home fluctuates throughout the year and can be anywhere from 6 weeks to 8 months, depending on many factors. We order your home as soon as we have the building permit, a closed construction loan (or cash in hand), and a finalized list of home options/décor selections.

We take on full “Turn-Key” jobs anywhere we have a local Project Manager to run the job, and we do “Foundation & Set” jobs within a 250-mile radius.

2. DELIVERY to your lot (additional charges if more than 75 miles), and
3. SETTING the home on your foundation and completing the interior and exterior FINISH WORK after setting.

Please CLICK HERE to review our Delivered & Set Process page for a detailed look at the process when you get just the modular home itself from us. The interior of the home comes complete with cabinets, doors, trim, windows, carpet/linoleum, tubs, toilets, mirrors, electrical and plumbing fixtures. The walls are even painted with our high quality paint/primer combo! The “Finish Work after setting” includes installing siding on the ends of the home where the sections join together, finishing shingles on the roof where the sections come together, and the drywall/trim/flooring button up on the inside where the home sections join together. All doors/trim/cabinets/etc that are NOT located on the marriage line (where the sections come together) will already be installed. If you are further away than 75 miles, WE CAN STILL DELIVER AND SET A HOME FOR YOU, but we may not be able to do the siding or interior button up, depending on your individual situation. Call us if you have questions on this.

It’s important to note that the real life pictures and computer generated artists renditions you see on our website typically show optional home upgrades (like fireplaces or quartz countertops), garages, porches and other things (such as landscaping and driveways) that will need to be priced out in addition to the modular home base price. We price these on a case by case basis. Your home will also need a septic system, water supply, utility connections, etc., which are not included in the Delivered & Set pricing.

Yes! As a full-service dealer and general contractor; we can build whatever you want.

We charge a General Contracting fee on any site work that we manage for you.
You are free to manage your own home-building project. You can simply hire us to build, deliver and set a custom modular home on your foundation if you wish.

We can handle every aspect of the building project for you, including obtaining building permits, hiring surveyors, and arranging for subcontractor specialists to clear the lot, dig and construct the foundation, put in the well and septic system (or hook to city utilities), build your garage/porch/deck, and anything else you would like done. Our General Contracting fee will be detailed in your customized home quote. Please call for a custom quote.
