2What is a Hallmark Modular Home?
- A Hallmark Modular Home is designed,
engineered and built in the controlled
environment of a modern factory. It is computer
engineered, constructed in sections and delivered
to your site, to be erected on your foundation by
a crane and set crew.
3How is a Hallmark Modular Home built?
- Todays Hallmark Modular Homes are models of
efficiency and quality. The building process
begins at the design phase. We use state of the
art computer design programs to customize floor
plans and produce drawings and material lists.
Once designed, the building process begins. This
process is similar to what youve seen during the
construction of houses in your neighborhood.
However, since your home is built in a controlled
environment (in-doors) we are able to use better
quality materials, control all phases of assembly
in far greater detail, build in far greater
structural strength while exceeding typical
building code requirements.
4How long does it take to build a Hallmark Modular
Home?
- Speed and consistent quality are two of the many
advantages for choosing to purchase a Hallmark
Modular Home. On the average, a home will be
factory built and delivered within six weeks from
the order date. During this waiting time, all
you site preparations should be completed.
Once the manufacturing process is complete, the
unit must be transported to your home site and
placed on the foundation. Setting a typical home
usually only takes a few hours. Your house is
now as much as 85 complete. Final completion
is handled by your local builder/general
contractor, or the buyer and includes connection
of utilities to the home and a short list of
finish work. Normally the home can be completed
within 30 days.
5What is the difference between a Hallmark Modular
Home and a manufactured home?
- Manufactured home, sometimes referred to as a
mobile home is constructed to a different
building code. This code, the Federal
Construction Safety Standards Act (HUD/CODE),
unlike conventional building codes, requires
manufactured homes to be constructed on a
non-removable steel chassis. Many communities
have restrictions on where manufactured homes can
be located. Hallmark Modular and site-built
homes on the other hand, are constructed to the
same building code required by your state, county
and specific locality and therefore are not
restricted by building or zoning regulations.
Your new Hallmark Modular Home is inspected at
the assembly plant during each phase of
construction by our in-house Quality Assurance
Department plus designated third party
inspectors. Evidence of this inspection is
normally shown by the application of a State or
inspection agency label of approval.
6What do Hallmark Modular Homes look like?
- Hallmark Modular Homes look like any other home.
Todays building technology has allowed modular
manufactures to build most any style of home from
a simple ranch to a highly customized home. It
doesnt stop with houses, modular construction is
used in building banks, schools, office
buildings, motels and hotels. Chances are youve
been in many modular structures and probably
never realized it.
7Can I design my own home?
- Yes, we allow the customer substantial design
flexibility. Ask us about the typical design
requirements or use our long list of standard or
previously built homes as a start and then
customize to suit your own needs.
8Is a Hallmark Modular Home better than a site
built home?
- You decide! With a Hallmark Modular Home you get
efficiency and quality control. Efficiency
begins with modern factory assembly techniques.
Your home travels to workstations, with all the
building trades represented. Work is never
delayed by weather, subcontractor no-shows or
missing material. Quality engineering and
modular construction techniques significantly
increase the energy efficiency of your Hallmark
Modular Home. A quality control process provides
the assurance that your home has been inspected
for code compliance and workmanship. In-plant
inspectors as well as independent inspection
agencies inspect the home on behalf of your state
and local government.

10Are Hallmark Modular Homes difficult to finance
or insure?
- There is no distinction between modular and site
built homes as far as appraisal or financing.
Banks and lending institutions treat both types
of construction the same. Likewise, there is no
difference in insuring the modular property. - Further, we have identified many banks that
actually favor modular construction over site
built homes because of the inherent cost
controls associated with the Hallmark Modular
Home process.

12What do Hallmark Modular Homes cost?
- When you add up all the labor, material and time
savings inherent in the modular building process,
you will find that the price of a Hallmark
Modular Homes is generally lower than a site
built home of comparable size. Other advantages
include lower financing costs and of course the
peace of mind knowing exactly what your home will
cost you. Plus you will keep saving money year
after year, as your energy efficient home keeps
your heating and cooling bills low.
