Once you have selected your licensed Deer Valley retailer, the process of building your manufactured or modular home is relatively simple. The retailer, in conjunction with Deer Valley associates, will steer and assist with each component of your home from beginning to completion.
After you select your floor plan — whether it be manufactured or modular, single, double, triple wide, or four section customizable, the retailer will contact Deer Valley Homebuilders to determine pricing based on your selected design, desired construction, and additional options. They will inspect your site or assist in site location to determine any necessary land preparation. Any questions you have regarding financing, insurance(s), or any other aspect of your home construction, will be happily answered by your chosen retailer.
The following information should provide a brief overview of how to build your home or custom project through Deer Valley Homebuilders. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact us and we will be glad to discuss.
Deer Valley’s sales and engineering departments assist clients through the home specification and confirmation process. An account manager is assigned to your selected home center to manage the process from initial information gathering, through to construction, and finally to completion and aftercare. The process looks like this:
Deer Valley provides customers with installation and warranty specificity including:
Deer Valley provides a Home Owner Manual with each newly purchased manufactured and modular home. The manual explains many useful items for a new homeowner concerning warranty information and homeowner maintenance.
THE TOP QUESTIONS ASKED ARE LISTED BELOW WITH SUMMARIZED ANSWERS. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR MANUAL FOR DETAILED INFORMATION CONCERNING EACH TOPIC COVERED.
It is imperative to a new home owner that the water heater breaker not be switched to the on position prior to filling the tank with water. A common issue in new homes is turning on the power before filling the tank with water, which causes the heating elements to burn up immediately.
All newly constructed Deer Valley Homes have a central location for these hookups. They will be opposite the “hitch” end of the home on the center line, approximately 2-4 feet from the end marked “communication” cables.
This black material is known as Cemplex or “Bottom Board.” This serves as a vapor barrier for the bottom of your home, preventing moisture infiltration. This should be maintained by the homeowner periodically to make sure there are no penetrations, and if there are, to ensure that they are sealed. Materials required to do this would include heavy tape, spray adhesive, or new bottom board material insulation. The main causes of damage to this are from plumbing changes, HVAC, and/or cable/phone line installation. It is the responsibility of each installer to ensure the home is sealed wherever connection points or penetrations have occurred.
It is important to vent your dryer to the outside of your foundation as the exhaust creates moisture. Moisture beneath your home is to be avoided completely. This is solely the responsibility of the homeowner and vitally important to prevent moisture buildup under the home. The vent hole is precut at Deer Valley during the production of your home, and used for the installation of the clothes dryer and dryer vent by the homeowner.
Canister lights typically require a specific type of bulb to function properly. High wattage bulbs are not intended for use in canister lights or flickering can occur.
Power can be lost as a result of a tripped GFI receptacle. This happens when too many cords are plugged into one main receptacle in effort to draw excessive power. The GFI receptacle is designed to “trip” to prevent an overload of a circuit and prevent any damage to the home. Should you have a partial power outage, please reset the GFI receptacle in the surrounding area. If this does not cure the issue, please contact Deer Valley Homebuilders.
The blended air system is the most efficient way to introduce fresh outdoor air to the interior environments. It works in conjunction with the furnace blower and existing duct system enabling a cost-effective way to substantially improve indoor air quality and help control attic condensation/moisture in your home.
Your roof should be checked annually with preventative care to make sure any and all penetrations are sealed properly. Proper roof sealants can be purchased at any major home improvement store.
