Finalizing Your Modular Home Order with Westchester Modular Homes

Embarking on the journey to create your dream home is an exciting adventure, and at Westchester Modular Homes, we understand the importance of getting every detail just right. After months of brainstorming, planning, and designing, you’re ready to take the final step: finalizing your modular home order. Here’s a guide to what that process looks like and how to ensure everything is in place for a seamless transition to construction.

The Design Process: A Collaborative Journey

Throughout the design process, you’ve had the opportunity to work closely with your builder to choose from a variety of options that will personalize your new modular home. From selecting floor coverings that match your style to choosing kitchen cabinets and countertops that make cooking a delight, each decision contributes to the unique character of your home.

Key Choices to Finalize

1. Floor Coverings
When selecting your floor coverings, it’s important to choose materials that balance both durability and style, ensuring your floors withstand daily wear while maintaining their aesthetic appeal. You have several great options to consider:

  • Carpet: Offers a soft, comfortable feel underfoot and is great for bedrooms or family spaces where you want warmth and sound absorption.
  • Hardwood: Provides a timeless, natural look and is highly durable, ideal for living areas, dining rooms, and even kitchens. Hardwood may also increase the resale value of your home.
  • Laminate: A budget-friendly alternative to hardwood, laminate is resilient and easy to maintain, offering a variety of styles that mimic the appearance of wood or tile. All these options are typically installed on-site by your builder, allowing for customization to fit your exact preferences.

2. Kitchen Cabinets and Countertops
Westchester Modular Homes offers Merillat Classic Series cabinets, which come in a wide variety of styles and colors, ensuring you can find the perfect fit for your kitchen’s design. Whether you’re looking for modern flat-panel cabinets or more traditional shaker-style options, you can customize the look to match your vision. For countertops, you can choose from quartz, granite, or laminate, balancing style, durability, and cost. This flexibility allows you to create a space that reflects your taste while staying within your budget.

3. Bathroom Options
Beyond just fixtures, you’ll select:

  • Bathtubs or Showers: Whether you prefer a freestanding soaking tub, a luxurious shower with a rainfall head, or a combination of both, you can tailor this space to your preferences.
  • Vanities: Choose from a variety of vanity styles, complete with sink and faucet options that match your design theme, whether modern, rustic, or traditional.
  • Tile: Westchester Modular Homes offers Dal-Tile for bathroom floors, with selections of either 12×12 or 12×24 tiles, so you can choose the size that best complements your bathroom’s layout and design.

4. Siding
Your home’s exterior is the first thing people see, and the right siding can greatly enhance curb appeal. Westchester Modular Homes offers CertainTeed vinyl siding, known for its quality and a wide range of colors. Vinyl siding is low-maintenance, durable, and cost-effective, making it a popular choice. However, if you prefer a different exterior option like wood, fiber cement, or another material, that can be installed on-site by your builder to ensure your home blends beautifully with its surroundings and personal taste.

5. Windows
Westchester Modular Homes partners with Andersen Windows & Doors to offer premium window options. As a standard, WMH installs Andersen 400 Series Windows, which are known for their energy efficiency, durability, and high performance. These windows come in various colors, including modern options like black, and you have the flexibility to choose from the full Andersen line to perfectly suit your home’s style and energy needs. For doors, you can select from their extensive catalog, ensuring every detail of your home reflects your personal taste.

Completing Your Order

Once you have finalized your selections, the next step is to compile all your choices into an order form. This step is crucial, as it serves as the foundation for your modular home’s construction.

What Happens Next?

  • Order Form Submission: Your completed order form, which details all your selections, will be submitted to our Engineering Department. This document will include copies of your design, ensuring that every element is documented and approved.
  • Plans Approval for Permits: After submission, our Engineering Department reviews your order and design. They work diligently to ensure that everything meets local building codes and regulations. This approval process is essential for securing the necessary permits to proceed with construction.

Why This Step Matters

Finalizing your order is more than just paperwork; it’s a vital part of bringing your vision to life. This process ensures that every detail is accounted for and that your modular home is built to your specifications. By working with your builder to finalize your selections and submit them to our Engineering Department, you are paving the way for a smooth construction phase, minimizing delays, and ensuring a timely completion.
