New Home Construction - Exterior Finish Work
The exterior of your home will always come sheathed in OSB or plywood (as specified on your order) and wrapped in house wrap The roof will be shingled to the extent possible in the factory, and the set crew crew will complete the installation of shingles and the ridge vent. Some exterior work remains to be done on site after the set crew is finished.
- Vinyl siding. While nearly all modular manufacturers offer maintenance free vinyl siding as a standard feature, only a portion of the exterior vinyl siding can be installed at the factory. Most manufacturers install vinyl siding on the front and rear of the first level, and ship the balance loose for on site installation by the local finish contractor on the gable ends, the upper levels. (In some more complex designs, it may be impractical to install vinyl at the factory even on the front and rear lower levels.)
- Soffitt & Fascia. The local siding crew should also install factory supplied fascia and soffit material at the roof line as well as drip edge.
- Gutters & Leaders. Local contractors can supply and install seamless gutters in a variety of finishes and colors.
- If you want exterior finishes other than vinyl, local contractors can supply and install just about anything else including cedar shakes or clapboards, stucco, brick face, or stone veneer.
Remember, The Builder Development Corp can act as your General Contractor to oversee the entire project, or as a subcontractor for some portion of the project.
