Modular homes have 2" x 6" exterior walls standard, better than most site-built homes and almost all manufactured homes. If you want to buy a home that is built almost as fast as a manufactured home but holds its value and looks like a regular stick-built home, you want a Cutting Edge Homes modular home.
