Shipshewana Homes Information

No. Shipshewana Homes specializes in complete turnkey construction. We are happy to handle all aspects of the construction process, including excavation, foundation, well/septic, garage, porch, etc. We'll even secure your building permits for you! Can I do some of the work myself? It is possible to act as your own general contractor in order to reduce some of the labor costs associated with your new home. However, it is important to have the general knowledge and experience necessary in order for this to really save you any substantial amount of money. If you do have the expertise to do some of the work yourself, Shipshewana Homes can design a package that fits your individual needs. How do I finance a modular home? Mortgage lenders treat modular homes the same as site-built homes and offer the same mortgage options. Modular homes are also treated the same as site-built homes when it comes to appraisals and insurance. In addition, modular homes appreciate in value at the same rate as comparable site built homes in your area. You are welcome to obtain your own financing - Shipshewana Homes will be happy to work with your financial institution. Also, we can refer you to any number of local lenders that we have worked with in the past. Will my home be covered by a warranty? Yes. Every home from Shipshewana Homes comes with a full one year limited warranty and a 10-year structural warranty. In addition, many of the brand name components (such as appliances, major mechanicals, shingles, siding, etc) used in your home are covered by separate manufacturer warranties.
