Oh sorry forgot to add... We want to out in central A/C and redo the kitchen in such a way that we have to move plumbing and electrical stuff.

Hi durkin123,

I would say yes, there is a very good chance that you can, as most modular homes are created from the same or very similar materials to a home built in place. I've worked on just one in my building career, and that had plywood walls (no drywall) with 1x3 framing! I'd recommend having a GC look at the home for you to determine how its constructed, and to see of there are any restrictions with regard to what you'd like to do. If you don't know one, an home inspector experienced in modular homes should be able to give you good advice. With either of these options you will most likely have to pay for their time, but its money well spent considering the cost of the home etc.

Thanks Steve. My husband says that the walls are framed with 2x4 and the floor joists are 2x10 according to the manufacturers documents we requested. Is that good?

Based on that information, yes thats good. There are other factors that affect the ease or difficulty of a remodel, including the roof, foundation and size/capacity of the utilities etc. Because of that Id still recommend having a GC or home inspector look at the home before you commit to buying it.

Hope all goes well!
Steve
