Green Building
At Skyline Homes, we are continually working to decrease the environmental impact of home-building and home owning by searching for better construction methods and energy-efficient materials.
As a result, we continue to discover ways to our production processes through sustainable practices such as recycling and reducing material waste and by finding ways to reduce the energy used to build a home. We carefully choose home building materials to ensure that adhesives, paints, caulks, sealants and other materials are water-based, low VOC and environmentally sound in every way possible.
And by constructing a well-insulated, energy-efficient home that meets ENERGY STAR® guidelines, we’re helping homeowners continue down the path of responsible conservation. As they reduce their own carbon footprint, they’re also able to enjoy the benefits of lower energy bills far into the future.

Use of UL and Energy Star approved materials including low-escape air ducts Additional upgrades are available to meet more rigorous EPA energy standards of a Qualified Energy Star home, including:
- An increased amount of insulation
- Super high efficient furnace
- Programmable thermostat
Manufactured and Modular Home
Skyline offers a wide range of factory-built homes, BOTH manufactured homes and modular homes.
What's the difference?
Both manufactured and modular homes look like any other conventionally built home in appearance and both are built to codes that ensure a safe and sound investment. Here are the key differences.
Manufactured homes are built as either a single section home or a multi-section home, depending on the floor plan. They are constructed and delivered on a permanent chassis, so a permanent foundation is not necessary. Because of their efficient, high-quality construction, these homes provide the best value in home buying. Manufactured homes conform to Housing and Urban Development (HUD) codes. During your search, you’ll often find them referred to as "HUDs." Prior to the Federal Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, manufactured homes were sometimes called "mobile homes" or "trailer homes." The HUD code regulates the design, construction, structural durability, transportability, fire resistance and energy efficiency of a home. It also prescribes performance standards for the mechanical, plumbing and electrical standards.
Modular homes, while built in the factory and transported in sections, are virtually indistinguishable from a site-built home, though they tend to be better constructed, take less time to build and are more energy-efficient. They are placed on a foundation and are subject to the same codes as any other site-built home, including all local, state and regional building regulations.

Factory Built vs. Site Built Home
As you begin to look into factory-built homes, you’ll hear many terms and descriptions that might be difficult to sort through. At Skyline, we create a wide range of factory-built homes, including manufactured homes and modular homes. What does all that mean?
Factory-Built vs. Site-Built Homes
While these terms are easy to figure out, there are differences that are not immediately apparent. Yes, a factory-built home is just that…a home that is fully constructed in a factory. After the framework construction, the interior finish, countertops and cabinetry, carpet and another final finish work is completed. Factory-built homes are transported to the site and quickly assembled, ensuring minimal weather exposure. Once the sections of the house are assembled, utilities are connected and a short list of interior finish work is completed. The site will have been prepared while the home was being constructed.
A site-built home is one where all the components, right down to the lumber and fasteners are brought to the outdoor location and assembled outdoors, piece-by-piece, and exposed to the weather during most of the process.
We believe there are distinct advantages to the factory-built model.

We believe there are distinct advantages to the factory-built model.
- All assembly is done under climate-controlled conditions. None of the building materials are exposed to the weather before or during construction. Before building materials are used, they are also stored indoors. In the construction of site-built homes, materials are exposed when stored on-site before use, and during most of the construction process until the home is fully sealed. Exposure to outdoor conditions, especially rain and moisture can cause increased expansion, contraction and warping and can increase the potential of mold problems.
- Factory-built homes are generally stronger. They’re constructed to withstand transportation, and as a result, are sturdier once they’re on site.
- Factory construction is more efficient. Site work and construction of your home can happen at the same time. And because all materials are on hand, there are no delays in material delivery. And weather-related delays are virtually non-existent. On average, you’ll be able to move in to your factory-built home in far less time than conventional construction.
