The Modular Difference

We Believe You Should Get More for Your Money

A manufactured home is built indoors in a factory-like setting. The finished product is covered and transported to its new location, and assembled there. A manufactured home is simply a home that is built off-site, rather than on-site.

All Kent Homes are built to industry EnerGuide 83 (E-83) Standards:

Lower heating bills every month

6 mil vapour barrier ensures continuous, completely sealed envelope
Floor sheathing glued and screwed to floor joists

Structurally Sound
