Quality Modular Homes At A Price You Can Afford - Beckley, WV

Joseph Coupal - Friday, August 16, 2019

Building your new home can be an intimidating experience. As modular home builders, one of the most rewarding experiences comes from those who became frustrated when working with traditional stick-built home builders regarding just how much home they were going to get for their dollar. Luck for many, they delayed pushing the go button in order to give modular home construction a look only to find that for the same money they were going to get so much more out of their construction dollar. Everyone is essentially on tight budgets, but for those of you young people out there,modular construction empowers just everyone a path to a super high quality new home.

Because modular construction starts in a manufacturing warehouse, the building materials are screened for quality before they ever arrive the build site. For many (if not most) traditional stick-built construction firms, there is always high pressure to build around poor quality materials that are delivered to the site. Those pressures include the cost of returning and replacing poor quality materials, the time delays associated with the same, and the managerial oversight required to manage the returns. Once again, that is a non-issue with modular construction as the vast majority of the materials are screened and framed before arriving at the build site.

Indeed,modular building offerings to West Virginia will make you see the home building process in a whole new and positive light. If you are interested of building your dream home faster, stronger, and for less money than you thought possible, Silverpoint Homes is ready to lead you in every step along the way.

Few things are more frustrating than construction delays. This is quite understandable when you consider the mandate to vacate your current home (due to sale) and the obvious desire to avoid hotels and temporary storage of household goods. When comparing on-schedule delivery of modular home construction vs traditional stick-built home construction, there is no comparison. Modular homes are delivered on-time and on-cost at a much higher rate than traditional construction, and it is not even close.

Modular construction incorporates a more systematic approach as compared to conventional way of building homes. Modular home construction utilizes computer-aided design software that cuts design time. Modifications to the design are easily enacted. Weather is a huge enemy to traditional home builders, but not necessarily to modular home builders as a significant percentage of the construct is accomplished back at the factory. Also, modular construction uses advanced technology in cutting and molding their materials. These shortens the working time in half and produces modules with precise cuts and shapes.

This is also the reason why modular homes are budget-friendly compared to traditional method. If you are considering building a modular home, contact Silverpoint Homes.

3 New Home Considerations You Can’t Ignore

Joseph Coupal - Thursday, June 27, 2019

How many new homes does a person buy in their lifetime? If you’re like most homeowners you can count them on one hand, and that doesn’t include the thumb! Being that a new home purchase may be a once in a lifetime decision, you can’t afford to make a mistake.

Here are three things every new homebuyer must consider before making a purchase:

1. Think Long Term.
How long will you be in this home? Five years? Twenty? Regardless the length of time you plan on living in your new home, you have to anticipate the upkeep and repairs every home requires as time marches on. Do you want build specifications and components that are designed to last?

2. Don’t Skimp On Quality.
Like everyone else, you’re concerned with the ‘bottom line’, after all a good deal is a good deal—except when it isn’t. A big mistake is to go with a builder that offers a cut-rate price. Have you ever wondered how they can build a new home at such a ridiculously low price? Sadly, they cut corners on things they simply shouldn’t, including items like insulation, siding, windows and doors. They claim they’re saving the buyer a few bucks, and that might be true initially, but wait until your utility bills start rolling in, not to mention costly maintenance charges down the road. “Doing it right the first time” actually saves you money, resulting in a more comfortable, durable home for decades to come.

3. Pride Of Ownership.
Purchasing a new home is much more than looking at the price tag. It’s not like you’re going to the supermarket and selecting the store brand tomato soup over Campbell’s because it’s thirty cents cheaper and tastes almost the same. Trust me, that last thing you want to experience is buyer’s remorse. It’s not like you can go back to the builder next week and just purchase another home. You deserve to experience the deep satisfaction of having a home you can be proud of for years to come. Get it wrong and, well…

The fact is, we won’t let you make a bad decision. For over 15 years. Silverpoint Homes has been helping homebuyers find and enjoy the right home for your family and budget.

When you’re ready to explore your new home options, contact us. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

The Best New Home Value per Square Foot. Period.

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, February 26, 2019

Value is not about what you pay for a product—it’s about truly getting what you pay for. This is Silverpoint Homes reminding you that when it comes to selecting your new home builder, although price is important, understanding value is critical.

We’ve spoken with many new home customers, and unfortunately we’ve seen this mistake made way too often—the buyer never digs deep enough into just what they’re buying.

“Hey, I’m getting a three-bedroom, two and a half bath for a great price. I’m happy!”

You’re happy when you move in…but what about two years later?

We’ve seen it way too many times, and Buyer’s Remorse is not pretty. When it comes to selecting what builder is going to construct your new home, please, do your homework. There is a difference. Ask the tough questions that make builders uncomfortable:

What type of warranty do you offer? Is it just the structure or is it “foundation to rafters”?
What is included as standard features and what is considered an “optional upgrade”?
What grade of carpet comes in the home?
What brand of windows? What is their warranty period?
Are the cabinets hardwood doors and face frames?

And we could list other queries guaranteed to set a salesman back on their heels. Choosing a builder for your new home is actually about creating a trusting relationship. Here at Silverpoint Homes we believe transparency is crucial, that’s what has allowed us to do what we do for over 15 years.

If you want to learn more about screening a new homebuilder, contact Silverpoint Homes. We would love to share with you exactly what questions to ask, and yes, of course, show you what Silverpoint Homes has to offer.


Customizing and Building Your New Home

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, February 12, 2019

People don’t often refer to building a new home as a joyful experience. But that’s exactly how Silverpoint Homes homeowners describe how they feel after they’ve built a home with us.

I’d like to share what we do that the other guys don’t.

Are You Considering a New Home?

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, January 29, 2019

If you’re still considering a new home over purchasing an existing home, contact Silverpoint Homes

New home construction is booming, as homebuyers are educating themselves on all the advantages that come with new over old. We’re experiencing a lot of interest from West Virginia buyers all the way down to North Carolina. These future homeowners know there’s never been a better time to build. How can they be so sure?

I’m glad you asked!

Energy Efficiency – The homes we’re building today use state of the art materials and systems that are nearly twice as efficient as homes built just a few years ago. That means lower energy consumption, less environmental impact and a more responsible home.

Availability Now – With interest rates remaining low and demand growing, projections are the demand for new homes will soon outpace the home building industry’s ability to keep up. We have scheduling opportunities now, but they are filling up fast.

As demand rises, prices will too. We’re still experiencing a pricing advantage on labor and materials, creating a window of opportunity that is steadily closing.

If you are thinking about making the move to a new home, then let’s talk. Contact Silverpoint Homes to schedule a time to discuss your ideas, needs and preferences. I’ll help you evaluate your choices and begin the process of creating the right home for your family.

Build with Cheer this Holiday Season

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, December 04, 2018

Are you considering building a home in 2019? This holiday season give yourself the gift of relaxation. No, we are not talking massages and spa treatments. We don’t deal in hot stones or soft robes, but in lumber and drywall. At Silverpoint Homes we deliver you an exceptional home at a great price. However, what is frequently overlooked is the value of our process.

Home building, just like the holiday season, can come with multiple stresses that can distract and sometimes detract from the ultimate goal. Here is a list of eight ways that building with Silverpoint Homes can create an easier, less stress-filled, more joyful homebuilding process:

  1. Less weather problems. The primary construction of your home is done off-site and the day your house is set on your property it will be dried in to protect it from harmful exposure to the elements.
  2. Less weather delays. Although delays from weather can never be avoided entirely, less work done on site inherently means less delays from weather. This means less stress, less time, less money.
  3. More inspections, less problems. Our homes all have to pass on site inspections to state and local codes like any traditional home build. In addition, each our homes will pass over three hundred factory inspections.
  4. Less material damage and theft. With the majority of your home completed off site, costs are reduced by minimizing losses to material damages and theft when they are not stored for long periods of time on your job site.
  5. Better efficiency. In a typical build process, the foundation has to be completed before you can begin framing or any other work on the home itself. At Silverpoint Homes we will be on your site working to complete your foundation while your home is being built at the manufacturer.
  6. More organized. Offsite building techniques allow for a more streamlined, more repetitive building process that limits surprises and headaches associated with on-site methods. Think about it;  Would you want your car built on site in your driveway exposed to the elements?  Of course not.  The same principle applies to systems build construction.  A more efficient and organized process yields better quality and less headache for you as the homeowner.
  7. Less worries. Confidence in the structure of your home will ease your mind. Modular homes typically use over twenty percent more lumber and have to be built soundly to endure the stresses of transportation. Whether it be 2” x 6” exterior walls, more hardware for roof, floor and wall attachments or glued headers and footers, each module is built significantly stronger than typical site-built homes. A home frequently has to stand up to severe weather and modular construction does: FEMA assessment teams following Hurricane Andrew in Florida have concluded that modular homes withstood the storm “far better” than site-built housing. “Overall, relatively minimal structural damage was noted in modular housing…the units appeared to have provided an inherently rigid system that performed much better than conventional residential framing. This was evident in both the transverse and longitudinal directions of the modular buildings,” according to the report. (“Building Performance: Hurricane Andrew In Florida,” publication FIA-22, item 3-0180. Get your free copy by calling 800-480-2520.)
  8. Less time. Frequently a home built entirely on site can take six, nine months or even a year or more to design and complete on your site. We frequently see three to four months on site for many of our builds. This means less stress AND less interest payments to the bank on your construction loan.

Skip the long, arduous process of building a one hundred percent site-built home this holiday season and use the time you save completing your project to enjoy your next holiday in a new home! Let Silverpoint Homes finish your home seamlessly and leave you with more time for loved ones around a blazing fireplace, more moments in your new dining room full of food and friends or  relaxing mornings in your cozy living room with your kids and your dog.

New Homes, Traditional Values with Modular Construction

Joseph Coupal - Wednesday, November 21, 2018

We've shared some compelling reasons why now is a great time to make the move to a new home. The builder you choose to work with, however, is just as important as selecting which home to buy.

So, why should you choose Silverpoint Homes? We could discuss why we’re the right choice all day, but maybe it’s better to let some of our past homebuyers tell the tale instead.

“My husband and I bought our Silverpoint home almost a year ago. We absolutely love the house and would recommend it to everyone looking to build. Mark hasThey helped us tremendously every step of the way with any questions we had. They are excellent in customer service and price. Silverpoint is by far the best place to go when looking to buy a new house. “
- Eric & Theresa R.

“We bought a house from Silverpoint about 2 years ago. We had looked at several different places and for price and quality Silverpoint couldn't be beat. I absolutely love my home and I would definitely recommend Silverpoint!”
- Matt & Sara C.

“I stopped by Silverpoint about a year ago just looking as I couldn't decide if I wanted to purchase a new home or have one built. I am very happy with my new home and I am glad I went this route. I would recommend anyone who is interested in a new, sturdy and beautiful new home to last for years to come to take the time to speak with SilverpPoint. They treated me with respect and courtesy. I would give them an A+ rating.”
- Sandra C.

And this is just a brief sample of our happy homeowners. I’m proud Silverpoint Homes has developed that kind of reputation. Isn’t that the kind of care and service that you want from your builder?

Contact Silverpoint Homes and let’s discuss how we can help you!


Modular Homes and High-Def TVs, What Do They Have in Common?

Joseph Coupal - Wednesday, October 31, 2018

I wanted to take a moment to ask you a question. Do you have a high definition television in your living room? At this point in time, these flat screen marvels are probably in more than just one room of your house, am I right?

Depending on when you purchased your HD set, you may have overpaid. Prices have plummeted since they first came on the market, making you wonder why in the heck you didn’t just wait a bit longer to snag that technological wonder.

Purchasing a new home is very similar, but on a grander scale. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy, now is the time, but, unlike the price of techno gadgets, you have a much smaller window of opportunity.

With the economy on the rebound, the demand for new, quality built homes has increased. This means that the price of building materials will soon rise, and homebuilders will be forced to charge homebuyers more for the same home that they can purchase right now at a much lower cost.

Don’t miss your chance! Let’s discuss your new home now before the interest rates increase and you’ll find yourself being charged a higher per square foot price. There’s still time, but trust me, Silverpoint Homes have been in the business for over 15 years, and we know what’s right around the corner.

Contact Silverpoint Homes today and let’s set up a time to discuss building your new home.

Modular Homes for Superior Construction, Lower Costs and Less Waste

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, October 02, 2018

Modular construction can be used to create long-lasting, high-quality homes that last. In general, "modular" means that home construction takes place in a factory, before being assembled onsite from modules.

Modular construction can be used to build high-end, high-quality homes because it allows for higher quality homes faster and for less money and time than traditional, "stick-built" construction.

Quality

Modular homes are built to a higher level of quality than stick-built homes, in part because they must be able to withstand the stresses of transport. Joints are tighter, fasteners are more accurately applied, and material is cut with more exactness. The modular construction process is also subject to more QA checks throughout construction, ensuring a superior and more sturdy home.

Saving Time and Money

The modular building process decreases construction time. Similar, custom stick-built homes can take one to two years to design and construct. In contrast, after the design stage, a modular home can be built in 6 to 8 weeks, because the foundation work on-site and home construction occur simultaneously; and factory construction leverages specialized construction teams, equipment and facilities. As a result, a modular home can cost less per square foot than an equivalent stick-built home.

Sustainable Building Practices

Modular construction supports sustainable building practices. Thirty to forty percent of the material used to construct a typical stick-built home ends up in a landfill. With the modular home construction process, an average of two percent of materials end up as waste.

Modular Homes Can Replace Homes for Hurricane Victims

Joseph Coupal - Monday, September 24, 2018

There are far too many victims of Hurricane Florence that are looking to replace their homes. The destruction was so vast that traditional home builders and local contractors will be strapped from too little labor, too little time, and too much demand. The good news is that modular home manufacturing companies are more able to accommodate your replacement home needs in a timely manner. Modular homes for hurricane Florence victims has become the norm in other locations across the nation that have been hit by hurricanes and devastating storms. There are many benefits to choosing modular construction.

Basically, with modular construction, you are outsourcing the labor, materials and construction process, which allows you to get your new, custom designed modular home, faster than many of those people around you who may contract their home with local builders.

Modular homes are built to the same or higher standards than traditional homes, but in hurricane prone areas, modular homes are built even better. Built to withstand up to 140 mph winds and with reinforced joints, modular homes are sturdy and safe and more secure than traditional construction.

Modular homes can also be placed on pilings that are encased in cement and meet all new hurricane specifications. And, because modular homes can be custom designed, they can also be built to the original footprint in order to align with local zoning laws.

If you are a hurricane Florence victim who is in need of a replacement home, Contact Silverpoint Homes.


Wait. What is a Modular Home?

Joseph Coupal - Wednesday, September 05, 2018

A modular home is a house that is built of pre-fabricated sections referred to as modules. They are constructed away from a build site, transported to the site and fitted together. This type of prefabricated housing has become increasingly popular with newer technologies and a housing market that is seemingly constantly low in supply. New technologies have allowed these builds to become practically fully customizable and they generally can be built in less time than typical stick-built houses.

It is important to note; modular homes are not the same as manufactured homes or trailers. Modular homes are built to the same codes as site-built homes, and in most cases actually undergo a much more vigorous inspection process.

Got It. So, why build a Modular Home?

Modular builds afford homebuyers many benefits, in fact the modular housing industry is growing faster than any type of new-home construction. There are many reasons, for this, a few of which we have highlighted below:

  • Affordability - you can generally expect to spend ten to twenty percent less on a modular build
  • Quality – modular builds frequently have up to 30 percent more lumber, are built in a controlled environment and are unexposed to weather and outside elements
  • Time – modular builds, generally speaking, take months off of a build’s timeline
  • Less Stress – modular builds allow for a streamlined process that will not only save you money and time but possibly your marriage and assuredly your nerves

Ok, ok, but you sell them. Back it up.

The following organizations have acknowledged the advantages of the modular construction process:

  • National Institute of Standards and Technology
  • National Research Council
  • Environmental Protection Agency
  • American Institute of Architects
  • S. Green Building Council
  • S. Department of Veterans Affairs
  • S. Army Corps of Engineers (1.)

Now is the Time to Build Your Dream Modular Home

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, July 31, 2018

At Silverpoint Homes we wanted to take a moment to ask you a question. Do you have a high definition television in your living room? At this point in time, these flat screen marvels are probably in more than just one room of your house, am I right?

Depending on when you purchased your HD TV, you may have overpaid. Prices have plummeted since they first came on the market, making you wonder why in the heck you didn’t just wait a bit longer to snag that technological wonder.

Purchasing a new home is very similar, but on a grander scale. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy, now is the time, but, unlike the price of techno gadgets, you have a much smaller window of opportunity.

With the economy on the rebound, the demand for new, quality built homes has increased. This means that the price of building materials will soon rise, and homebuilders will be forced to charge homebuyers more for the same home that they can purchase right now at a much lower cost.

Don’t miss your chance! Let’s discuss your new home now before the interest rates increase and you’ll find yourself being charged a higher per square foot price. There’s still time, but trust me, Silverpoint Homes have been in the business for over 15 years, and we know what’s right around the corner.

Contact us today and let’s set up a time to discuss building your new home.

The Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Building a New Home

Joseph Coupal - Monday, June 04, 2018
The Carolina Ranch Style Modular Floor Plan – The T-Ranch You’ve been Waiting For - Greensboro, NC

Congratulations on your decision to build a new home! It goes without saying this investment will be one of the largest single purchases you will ever make, requiring the due diligence, research and investigation it rightly deserves. When it comes to building your dream home, you simply must perform your homework before signing on the dotted line—if not, you may find yourself suffering from Buyer’s Remorse before you’ve finished moving in.

Here at Silverpoint Homes, in an effort to educate all potential new homeowners, we hired a marketing company to perform some independent research, speaking with nearly two dozen area families, around each of our Sales Centers in West Virginia and North Carolina, who decided to build a new home with other builders.

They were asked if they would share their insights regarding what they would do differently if they had the opportunity to press the proverbial reset button. In every instance they were happy to help other homebuyers learn from their mistakes in order to ensure history doesn’t repeat itself.

With that being said, we’re proud to present “The Top Five Mistakes To Avoid When Building A New Home”.

#1. Failure To Identify, Understand & Budget For The Total Project

“My husband and I thought we knew what to expect financially. But our contractor never took the time to define all the extra costs involved until more money was needed for something.”

Yes, it happens way too often and gives all homebuilders a bad reputation. Certain contractors are more concerned with getting buyers to sign on the dotted line that they gloss over certain aspects of the project that definitely have an impact on the budget’s bottom line. Here are just a few examples:

  • Utility Access: Septic, power, water lines, natural gas—even Internet and cable TV, all has to be considered.
  • Size, Length & Material of The Driveway: Gravel, concrete or asphalt? How wide and how long will your driveway be? Make you sure you plan for these costs.
  • Building Permits: Did you know some municipalities and counties charge as much as 1% of the total construction cost of your new home just for the building permit?
  • Landscaping: A 50 lb. bag of grass seed can be over $100 and bails of straw over $7 each. A truckload of nice screened top soil can be very pricey. This adds up to more than pocket change.
  • Site Preparation: Does your site require clearing and grade work? Unless you’ve got a buddy with a bulldozer, you should expect from a couple to several thousand dollars.
  • Lender Closing Costs: Most buyers expect closing costs but do not realize they can be 3-6% of the amount financed. Make sure to review this with multiple lenders before selecting yours. Do not just look at the monthly payment, look at the total costs.

Here at Silverpoint Homes we offer a Free Project Budget Review addressing each of the above topics, and more, prior to agreeing to build your new home! We do everything possible to make certain you totally understand the budget, scope of work, and overall cost of your new home.

#2. Excessive Change Orders

“I didn’t even know what a ‘change order’ was! But I do now. I wish I would have listened to my gut instinct -it all just seemed too good to be true.”

Change Orders... realistically changes will come up during construction. Most often change orders are the result of lack of common understanding of the build print or the options. Upfront planning and detail review is the key to avoid change orders. But when they do become necessary, the key is to make sure you approve of any changes before implemented and ensure they don’t become overwhelming and expensive. Do not be shy about asking details regarding any change orders your contractor presents. Make sure to get it in writing before work is performed.

Change orders can often become runaway expenses on a “forever home.” A field change can run 50-200% more than the initial cost of doing it right the first time. But if you don’t like something, you just have to change it. $200 here, $500 there, $2,000 for this, $750 for that. It is common to hear of going at least 10% above project estimates in change orders for site built homes. These are generally legitimate costs for the contractor, especially when rework is required. Plus they often delay the project for several hours, days, or even weeks.

“Allowances” is also a common term builders will use. There is nothing wrong with some allowances, just make sure you understand what was “allowed.” For instance, a builder allocates an amount of funding for a basic kitchen, enough to purchase and install typical “off the shelf” cabinets, appliances and countertops. This is your dream house—of course you’re going to want kitchen upgrades—but at this point they’re going to cost you a lot more!

The best-case scenario is your builder failed to service you properly through planning and communication. At worst, they viewed this as an opportunity to squeeze more money out of you.

Silverpoint Homes strives to avoid change orders. In fact, in the past year less than 10% of our customers had change orders, and for those that did the average was cost was less than $1,000. Ok, you’re probably thinking how is that even possible, right?

Here’s how.....

  • We display several fully decorated model homes in order for our customers to decide on the right look, and, more importantly, the proper feel of their new home.
  • We discuss, show, and review the various options available, making sure they are completely satisfied and educated from the very beginning.
  • We provide all documentation to our customers, so there’s never any “i” left undotted or “t” uncrossed!

#3. Underestimating the Time & Effort Required

“Our contractor told us it would take about 6 months to build our home. It took 13 months. He didn’t tell us that he could not start for 3 months and then winter hit causing us to be delayed even more.”

“We had to be at the job site every single day to review what was being worked on and find out what materials we needed to select next just to keep things moving. Then we spent hours at all the stores figuring out what colors and materials we wanted. It was like a second full time job.”

According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the national average construction time for a single-family home is 8 months. That does not sound too bad.

However, if you want a good, reputable builder they will have a backlog of a few to several months, even a year or more. If a builder can start right away, you might want to ask some questions.

Silverpoint Homes average build time from deposit received to keys handed over is under 4 months for a ranch home and 6 months for a cape cod with a finished second floor. Typically 4-6 weeks of this time is waiting on utilities to be connected. Because we utilize modular construction, we are able to work on several homes at the same time and start immediately. We can also build year round as it only takes a few days to dry in our homes and they are 90% complete at that point.

Many buyers also fail to consider how long the lending process can take. Since the 2008 financial crisis, many rules and regulations have changed. This has slowed the process significantly. The typical time from sales contract to closing is 60 - 90 days.

Unfortunately, we cannot do anything about this except to make buyers aware. So if you say you want to build in the spring, you should start at Thanksgiving.

Selecting materials and colors for your home sounds like fun, right? And it can be for the first few major selections, but then it becomes a chore driving to the different stores, getting tiny 2”x2” samples, seeing if they match, deciding which one looks best, drive back to the stores, ordering it, making sure it is in stock or if it will be delivered before the contractor needs it. It becomes a major hassle with pressure of deadlines.

Silverpoint Homes makes the selection process easy with our 500 square foot Design Center. All the options are on display in one convenient location. Plus if you need to see something in full scale, chances are we have it in one of our many model homes.

#4. Neglecting to Study the Build Specifications & What is/isn’t Included in the Price

“We assumed a new house would be built to last, and why wouldn’t we? Was it too much to expect our home would be built right and include everything? I mean, the house looks beautiful on the outside, but to say that’s deceiving is a huge understatement.”

Even in today’s housing market, many counties, especially in West Virginia still don’t have Building Code Enforcement offices. Sadly, certain builders take advantage of this, building homes that simply aren’t up to code. Just a few of the catastrophic results of failing to follow code includes:

  • Shallow Footers
  • Insufficient Structural Load Rating
  • Reduced Insulation
  • Wrong Grade Of Materials
  • Improper Construction

Silverpoint Homes takes great pride in our build specifications. Every modular home is third party inspected before leaving the manufacturer. We meet or exceed all state and local building codes. What is included in the price should be in black in white. It is the “what is not included” that is hard to review. Many builders present a laundry list of included items and it all looks great and causes your eyes to glaze over reading the fine print. Here are a few of the commonly missed items:

  • Kitchen Appliances
  • HVAC system
  • Closet shelving
  • Dryer vent
  • Exterior Faucets
  • Dead bolts
  • Crane for setup (if modular)

Before the house is even created, our customers know up front what is included in the price and what isn’t. We’re talking about everything from your build specifications, options, colors, appliances, warranties, taxes, even the equipment needed to build the foundation or place your house! We put this on our price sheets that our customers receive on the very first visit. The price sheet clearly states what is not included in our price and allow our customers the ability to add those if desired.

We’ve found being direct, clear and informative from the very beginning is the best way to ensure our customers get the home they’ve always dreamed of, avoiding all headache or heartbreak during the entire process.

#5. Failing To Ask For References & Testimonials

“If there was one thing I absolutely regret in regards to building my home it’s this. I wish I had asked for references. With that information I would have been able to make a better decision.” It’s really mind-boggling—we check online reviews for restaurants, read critics’ reviews before we plunk down ten bucks to see a movie and even request the opinion of our friends as to where purchase a gas grill—but we don’t take a close look at who will be building our home?

We can’t stress enough the importance of speaking to current homeowners, even asking if you could take a tour of their house. Any builder worth their salt will be happy to provide certifications, proof of insurance, and worker’s comp policies for you to review. But don’t stop there!

Go online and enter your prospective homebuilder into all the major search engines and see what turns up. If you notice a trend of negative feedback you’ll definitely want to move onto another builder. If you don’t see anything at all, you will need to ask around.

If your county has a Building Code Enforcement Office, call them to see if they have any concerns or reservations.

Silverpoint Homes has an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau and has been voted the Number One Favorite Place To Buy A Home by the readers of the

Register-Herald—seven years running! We’ve also been honored by the Manufactured Housing Institute as the 2015 National Retail Sales Center of the Year!

BONUS MISTAKE YOU WON’T WANT TO MAKE!

#6. Not Building Your Home with Silverpoint Homes

“If I had the chance to do it again, I would have bought from Silverpoint Homes.”

This statement was said by more than one homeowner. You can avoid all of the mistakes above by selecting Silverpoint Homes as the builder of your new dream home!

It may sound like a lot of work building a new home, and you’re right, it is, but we pledge to be with you every step of the way! When you choose Silverpoint Homes you’ll never have to worry about “buyer’s remorse”—we always look out for your best interests.

Choosing Modular Homes Over Traditional Construction

Joseph Coupal - Wednesday, May 16, 2018
Silverpoint Homes - modular homes in Martinsville, VA

The Modular Home Manufacturer

Each manufacturer has different options. There are sizes, floor plans and architectural designs to consider. Maybe you would prefer a one-story ranch, two-story home, Cape Cod or vacation style home. You can customize the look to meet your lifestyle and budget.

At Silverpoint Homes our slogan is Build Better. Build Easier for a reason. We have fewer contractors involved and we have over 20 homes at 4 locations for you to see, touch and feel. Very few other builders have this.

Because these homes are manufactured by using innovative technologies in a controlled environment, the result is a more precisely built home. Weather during construction will not impact the construction process or deadlines.

We purchase massive qualities of materials for our factories, and we pass that cost savings on to you.

The production process is completed in a controlled environment with over 20 quality checks throughout the construction process. Then the home is delivered and placed onto your foundation. All the modules are assembled and finish work is completed, such as electrical and plumbing.

Research the background and expertise of your modular home dealer and manufacturer. Look carefully at the features and design of the manufacturer's plans. All of this will result in a high-quality home built to last.

Modular Homes are Built Faster and Better than Traditionally Constructed Homes

Joseph Coupal - Wednesday, April 25, 2018
Silverpoint Homes- Charleston, WV

With this buyer’s market, many people are considering their options when it comes to buying or building a new home. However, another option for home building is becoming more and more popular today: modular home construction. Because of the reasonable modular home prices, faster building time, quality assurances, vast array of floor plans, and customization options, building a home has never been so easy.

Compared to traditional on-site construction, modular construction can be completed much faster. This is because the modular homes are constructed in a factory-like setting into modules. Then, those modules are delivered to the permanent site and only need to be joined by the contractor. This means site-work and construction can be done at the same time. Building a modular home is much quicker than building a traditional stick built home, however the length of time will still depend on the design of the house and the capabilities of the contractor. Normally, after the design phase is completed, the production of these homes can take 1-2 weeks in the factory; then another 2-4 weeks for the home to be assembled by the builder after it is delivered to the site.

Keep in mind that bank financing is also far less complicated than you may think because banks, insurance companies, and appraisers consider a modular home the same as traditional homes. For more information on modular home construction, contact Silverpoint Homes.

Modular Construction for Strong Hurricane Proof Homes

Joseph Coupal - Friday, March 09, 2018
Silver Point Homes - Modular Homes Princeton, WV

Spring may bring with it warmer weather but if you think the weather stays perfect throughout the season, think again. As the matter of fact, severe storms often occur during spring and summer because the warm air they bring forth is the main ingredient for the formation of thunderstorms. Due to this fact, many homebuyers in West Virginia now consider hurricane-proof modular homes for a sturdy shelter in times of harsh weather.

Modular homes, Princeton, WV are built from series of modules. Each modules needs is built with high-quality materials and meets or exceeds local and state building codes. However, home builders Princeton WV often exceed this requirement. This because the modules need to be strong enough to be transported to the actual home site. During assembly, they need to be tough enough to handle craning. This means every module is glued and screwed offering an extra layer of durability.

Furthermore, the modules are then strapped, bolted and screwed together to secure the foundation. A series of large steel anchors are used to support the home which further protect it during severe flash floods. In addition, modular homes are constructed to withstand 180 mph gusting winds.

Joseph Coupal - Friday, February 09, 2018
Silver Point Homes - Modular home construction in Greensboro, NC

House wrap is a synthetic material that is installed in modular homes to protect the house from moisture infiltration and prevent mold from growing inside the walls and attic. It serves as a weather-resistant barrier in addition to insulation that prevents moisture from damaging the exterior walls of the house.

Modular home construction in Greensboro, NC uses a superior weather protection system to ensure that air and water cannot penetrate the walls while still allowing the home to breathe. The barrier allows the moisture to escape from the cavity walls. Moreover, Silverpoint Homes modular builders apply quality house wraps that are tough, rip resistant and which will cover all cracks and crevices to support the function of the insulation.

So if you know anyone with a website and wish them well in business, take 30-seconds and “like” their business Facebook page. Look for the Facebook logo usually located at the top or bottom of the website’s home page. Then shoot them a quick note saying, “Happy Holidays. I recently “liked” your business Facebook page and wish you continued business success in 2018 and beyond”. It would be a kind gesture and one that cost you nothing other than 30 seconds of your time.

Happy Thanksgiving From Silverpoint Homes

Happy Thanksgiving From Silver Point Homes

It’s Thanksgiving week and a time each year when we reflect upon the blessing within our lives. Today our warmest Thanksgiving wishes go out to all of you, our clients, friends, and neighbors. Along with this note of thanks to you, this week we offer a special Thanksgiving “shout-out” to one of the more unsung Thanksgiving heroes, Sarah Hale. Historians credit Sara Hale as the originator of the Thanksgiving federal holiday.

Sara Hale undertook a 17-year letter writing campaign to make Thanksgiving a national holiday observed in all states. Before Hale, Thanksgiving was not a fixed holiday but rather an informal tradition. Presidents would select a day and make it known that it would be a day of thanksgiving and community. Hale lobbied five separate presidents for a set date until finally her request was granted by president Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln congratulated her tenacity and immortalized the holiday as part of American culture.

So thanks, Sara, for your 17 years of letter writing, for securing our day of Thanks on Thursday, and for your part in creating one of the most warm and celebrated day within our American culture!
