Westchester Modular Homes, Inc. headquartered in Wingdale, NY, was established in 1986 and is nearing its 20th Anniversary of high quality modular construction. To meet the rising demand of housing in the Northeast market, the founders of Westchester Modular Homes recognized the benefits of constructing homes in a climate-controlled factory with a highly skilled staff that operates 12 months a year. The concept of building efficiently in a weather protected environment, with on-time delivery and cost control is the essence of modular construction, and has made systems built housing one of the fastest growing segments in the housing industry.
In January 2000, Westchester Modular became an Employee Owned Company, and has evolved into an industry leader with employee owned innovation in design, superior craftsmanship and customization. Presently, Westchester Modular markets their homes through a network of independent builders in a nine-state area.

Factory Built Contractor In the 1960s, the mobile home industry made an evolutionary split. One branch evolved into recreational vehicles RVs to the point where the house now tows the car. The other branch evolved into manufactured homes, 95 percent of which now become permanent dwellings once they are transported from the factory to the site. Factory built housing is also popular in many countries around the world.

Therefore, the houses can be built better and more efficiently and more economically.
