Installing Your New House

Key to a Long-Lasting Home

Once your home is delivered, independent licensed contractors need to complete the home, connect all utilities, and arrange for any required inspections. The correct installation of your home is critical. Here’s where working with Atkinson Homes and experienced contractors really pays off. The steps will vary by home model and the location where the home is installed. Unlike a site-built home, installation typically only takes a few weeks rather than months.

 

FAQ: What Does Manufactured Home Installation Include?

Installation usually includes blocking and leveling the home, securing it with anchors or tie-downs. Some packages also include skirting and interior finishing, like trim or flooring adjustments after setup.

Utility hookups are sometimes included, but site preparation—like grading, pouring a concrete pad, or trenching for utilities—is sometimes an added service. It’s important to ask for a full breakdown of what’s covered and what requires additional contractors.

Yes. Atkinson Homes in Childersburg, AL, and the Alexander City area, provides full-service installations that include site evaluation, delivery, anchoring, and final walkthroughs. Their team handles the logistics so buyers don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors.

Manufactured home installation typically includes several essential steps to make your home safe, secure, and move-in ready. The process begins with transporting the home to your site, followed by proper leveling and anchoring to meet HUD and local code requirements. Professional crews will then connect the home to utility systems such as water, sewer or septic, and electricity. Additional finishing touches—like installing skirting, sealing seams, and completing interior trim—are often included. Some companies also handle permitting and inspections. It’s important to confirm exactly what’s covered, as site preparation or foundation work may come at an additional cost.

FAQ: Is Installation Warranty-Protected?

Yes, most installations include a warranty that covers essential setup steps like leveling, anchoring, and utility connections. These warranties typically last for one year and protect against defects in workmanship that could impact the home’s safety or structure during that time.

Installation warranties generally don’t cover damage from severe weather, shifting soil, or homeowner alterations. They also exclude wear and tear from neglect or lack of maintenance. Always review the warranty details and ask questions to fully understand what’s included and excluded.
