Quality Construction — Custom Design

Your new modular home is one of the biggest, most important investments you'll ever make. For that reason, every modular home we build is a custom design. Kara Elizabeth Homes adds value to your investment by fabricating major components for your modular home in a controlled factory environment.

Compare the modular homes built by Kara Elizabeth Homes with those of any builder. Don't be awed by the amenities, look closely at the little details. Are the mitered joints, tight and properly aligned? Does the counter fit the wall or is it filled with caulking? Are there window sills with aprons underneath? Is the trim really wood? Are the cabinets solid wood or just veneer? With a modular home built by Kara Elizabeth Homes you can rest assured the details are taken care of.
