How long does it take to build a manufactured home through Harmony Grove?
Typically, once the home is ordered we expect the plant to have it ready to ship to your destination in 4 – 6 months. As we all know this can be affected by market demands and the rate at which the plant is receiving orders, which we will gladly communicate to you at the time of your initial consultation.
How long after my home is delivered to my site will it take before I move in?
Mini homes usually require 3-4 weeks on-site depending on the time of year. Winter months often extend these time frames… Depending on the size and complexity of a Modular Home, these can take 8 weeks or more. Modular homes have many more mandatory building stage inspections than mini homes and we all know we are at the mercy of Nova Scotia Power. NS Power has to do an inspection and then schedule the power to be hooked up (usually 5-10 business days after the inspection). Hopefully, there are no major power outages across the province or the wait time for their services can easily be extended.
What do I need to order a home?
We need four things to order a home for you:
- We need to know what we are ordering. The home to be more specific… colors, floorplan, extras, land preparation if required, and anything else included in HGHS's scope of responsibilities. This gives us the cost for us to prepare the Purchase and Sales Agreement.
- We need to sign the purchase and sales agreement with you and ensure all details and payment schedules are understood.
- We need a deposit. Typically we ask for $1000 due at signing the agreement and 5% at the time of order for mini homes and 10% for modular homes.
- Proof of financial stability – either a ‘Letter of Finance’ from your mortgage broker or bank in the case of financing or a letter from your bank manager or recognized financial institution identifying your stability to pay cash.
Do you build garages?
Yes, we can build garages in conjunction with a new home purchase, for us to be as efficient as possible for you and our other customers we cannot build only a garage. We order materials to match your new home and build the garage while our team does the on-site work for your home delivery.
Do you build decks?
Similar to the garages, yes we do build decks for new home purchases only. We have the labor and skills onsite, access to the home is required for the occupancy permit so turning a step into a deck or putting a deck on one of our builds is not a problem.
Does my house come with a warranty?
All Kent homes are built in the factory which is certified as a CSA-approved manufacturer of homes. We then back it with the one-year Kent Homes material and workmanship warranty and the balance of a 10-year Atlantic Homes Warranty. Details of which can be found HERE
Will Harmony Grove take care of the well, septic, and driveway?
As we have been building homes for over two decades, we know a lot of the people and trades in the business. We can arrange for the well to be drilled, the land to be cleared and the septic to be designed and installed. Depending on your needs we can take care of it for you or you can have it ready for us when we arrive with the home.
