We had a typical 2 storey house with a 1 storey double garage and a family room behind on the side. We hired Modular Homes to remove the roof from the garage and family room, and add a 700 sqft second storey addition. The house went from 1500 to 2200 sqft. The addition consisted of a 20x20 master bedroom, a 10x14 master bath and a 10x14 home office. The addition was more complicated than normal because we wanted to maintain the height of the cathedral ceiling in the family room, the addition had all steep slope cathdral ceilings and we wanted additional rigid insulation on the outside to increase the insulation value to be 50% over code etc. My wife and I come from builder families and we were very impressed that our specialized requirements were not a problem. Modular was familiar with the products and our reasons and was very accomodating and reasonably priced. They told us that due to our complicated design that it would take 5 days instead of the normal 3 days that they advertise. They started on schedule and were done in 5 days as they planned. We were very impressed how personable and hardworking the crews were. Nothing seemed to be an issue.. The framing inspection had zero flaws and the inspector seemed impressed with the attention to detail and the added blocking and bracing hat was installed. The project came in underbudget by $750.00 because the didn't have to use a second dumpster since they were able to recycle some of the old 2x6s for knee walls and bracing. They also replaced some of the existing siding and evestrough on the main part of the at no charge because it would look better and it would match better. The site was always very clean.. Our neighbours are thrilled with how quickly and cleanly the project went up.(they tend to be very fussy) We had alot of people ask who the contractors were.. cheers jeff
