Love the time and cost savings of builing a prefabricated home. I watched them build a home in Carlsbad and saw the speed of construction and quality. Im looking to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit and Im going to use prefab construction. **★★★★★ — USModular Inc., June 2015** > USModular inc. built 3 homes for me - as a real estate developer. I sold 2 of the homes for a profit and live in the other home in Carlsbad, CA. Biggest advantage to me was the time savings on permitting and the time savings in construction. I estimate I saved 9 months - 12 month by building the homes with modular construction. Quality was excellent from factory and we even added site installed engineered hardwood and granite countertops One of the homes we finished with stucco - that was completed on site. > Overall the quality was good, timing was good and price was reasonable. I have site built homes in past - and would never consider site building a house again as it takes too long and has too many moving parts. It was a frustrating experience. Building homes with modular construction was much easier - as 80% of home was built in factory . **★ — marmot, Dec. 2014** > I hired USModular to put a room addition on my home. > > Summary: USModular never finished the design phase, and despite many unanswered questions attempted to force me into a construction agreement. In my opinion homeowners should stay away from this dishonest builder. > > The “Conceptual Design” had a separate contract that called for USModular to provide “preliminary conceptual floor plan including four(4) side elevations and a color rendering of the front elevation”. At the end of more than five months of prodding, I had a conceptual floor plan for just one room of the addition, and elevations that had no detail at all for the entire ground floor (and multiple errors in the roof line), and no color renderings. The elevations showed the second floor mysteriously floating in space, next to the existing house. Even though there was no finished conceptual design, USModular tried to get me to do a construction agreement for $194,568, a contract which couldn’t possibly have resulted in what I wanted, since the design wasn’t done. I guess they were just going to wing it for the ground floor. Of course, any disagreement over the mysterious downstairs would have turned into a “change order” that would increase the price. > > The final straw was a conference call arranged by USModular to resolve my concerns about whether I should proceed at all with this company. No one from USModular even showed up on the call – they blew it off, which was completely consistent with the many months of ignoring my questions (emails and calls) during the design phase. > > The company has refused to refund the $5,000 I paid in advance for the unfinished design, and I’m pursuing legal action against them. Todd Kesseler and Abe Ferreira are much better salesmen than they are builders, and I’d advise anyone considering USModular to find another builder. > > Edit: Trimmed down the review, keeping it short and sweet. I am amused to see that now the company is saying "you were never a client". Really, guys? Attached, if anyone cares, is the receipt for the $5,000 payment for the design phase. And the Contractors License Board said that since the company never actually built anything for me (and they are therefore out of jurisdiction), they recommend I just sue US Modular. **Comment from USModular, Inc.:** > Your claim with the Licensing Board has been denied and deemed invalid. Your review is long winded and not factual, even after you "trimmed it down." We will contact the State Licensing Board, to let them know you are speaking on their behalf. **★★★★★ — marissa5025, Sept. 2014** > Excellent modular home company. We were new to California and they answered all of our questions, gave us a really competitive quote for the home project, and just made us feel like we were in good hands. They took care of everything we thought we'd have to worry about, and we were shocked at how quickly the house was completed. Building a new home can be very stressful, but USModular made it a great experience. A big thank you to everyone we worked with! **★★★★★ — carlsbaddad, Feb. 2014** > USModular designed and built my home in Vista CA. It was ADA home and they designed hallways and showeres and ramps tha twere perfect. they site installed stucco and ramps and garage. House is great and we love it! ## Selected projects - [MH Advantage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mh-advantage-pj-vj~6373432) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Affordable Housing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/affordable-housing-pj-vj~6373393) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 9 - [San Diego Affordable Housing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-diego-affordable-housing-pj-vj~6373390) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [ADU PROJECTS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/adu-projects-pj-vj~6373339) - Location: San Marcos, CA - Photos: 4 - [Grand Terrace San Bernardino](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grand-terrace-san-bernardino-pj-vj~2146075) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Escondido Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/escondido-project-pj-vj~2146028) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [The San Diego Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-san-diego-project-pj-vj~2146051) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Bear Valley Multi Family Modular Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bear-valley-multi-family-modular-project-pj-vj~2001701) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Multi Family Modular Project in Redlands, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/multi-family-modular-project-in-redlands-ca-pj-vj~2001521) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [San Diego Multi Family Modular Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-diego-multi-family-modular-project-pj-vj~2001493) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Homeless Shelter Project - MultiFamily](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/homeless-shelter-project-multifamily-pj-vj~1995877) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Rebuild America Featured at Super Bowl](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rebuild-america-featured-at-super-bowl-pj-vj~1995858) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [American Indian Modular Construction Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/american-indian-modular-construction-project-pj-vj~1995830) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Menlo Park Single Family Modular Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/menlo-park-single-family-modular-home-pj-vj~1995703) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Point Loma San Diego Single Family Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/point-loma-san-diego-single-family-home-pj-vj~1995626) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Mission Bay San Diego Single Family Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mission-bay-san-diego-single-family-home-pj-vj~1995521) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Los Angeles Affordable Housing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/los-angeles-affordable-housing-pj-vj~1995557) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [The Carlsbad Capistrano](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-carlsbad-capistrano-pj-vj~263656) - Location: Carlsbad, CA - Photos: 4 - Description: The Capistrano, USModular’s Showcase Home in Carlsbad, California, is a two-story Craftsman style modular home with 3,500 sq. ft.
