Modal Living

Beware of Modal. We have their 001, 432 sq ft 1 bedroom. It arrived 8/9/22 and was unusable until 8/2023.Modal advertises its usable 2 weeks after “landing”. Its doors didn’t seal causing black mold from water damage. The exterior paint had drips and gouges and cracks. We had purchased top of the line exterior! It was built 5 inches longer than the cement wall/foundation. A new stem wall was built. The floor warped almost immediately. The AC splitters were improperly installed so water ran down the interior wall when used. The interior was cheaply finished. Many corners were cut to save money. No prep work prior to painting. Too MANY issues to mention. Buyer beware, working with Modal is a nightmare.

When I began the the hunt for a modular home company to work with on my next project, I talked to countless sales reps. I wasn’t sold on any company until I spoke with Hunter, who instilled in me the confidence that Modal was the right choice. I haven’t looked back since. After a few phone calls, I was invited out to tour some of their units installed in Salt Lake City. Hunter picked me up at the hotel and we drove around to a few different houses. The Modal units were on private properties, but multiple owners were gracious enough to let Hunter show me around, a testament to his friendliness and candor. After I decided to move forward with Modal, Hunter made sure to stay in touch consistently about the process, even after his duties as a sales rep were completed. He was genuinely excited about the area in which we were installing the unit. Overall working with the Modal team, and in particular Hunter, has been a pleasure.

I had a Modal 01 unit installed in November 2020. This was one of the best investments I’ve made bringing me in rental income. Quality is very good on the build, appliances are high end. I would definitely recommend putting in one of their units if you’re looking for a rental on your property or extra space to have guests. I use mine as a pool guesthouse. I highly recommend the company, my dealings with them through the whole process was positive!

I believe I was one of the first owners of a Modal 01 ADU installed in SLC. After months of delays, my unit was installed mid-November 2020. This has been one of my best decisions ever to buy and have installed this ADU. I’ve had long term renters in my unit which has provided me a nice additional revenue stream. I think the build quality is superb and withstanding some initial appliance installation issues everything has been sorted out. Communication with the Modal team from start to finish of the install was great, a representative was always available to answer calls and questions. If you’re in the market to have another revenue stream coming in or just a need for extra space on your property, having a Modal unit installed is hands down a great way to go. I've been thrilled to have this ADU in my backyard.

We were excited about the idea of owning a tiny home from the beginning. Then, the pandemic hit, in the middle of the process. There were delays in set up and finalizing things. I can't speak for the other person with the extremely bad experience with his final product, but ours arrived far more in tact than his. There were some dings here and there, but it was expected. We love our tiny home. We are able to host family comfortably in it. I wish I had something as nice in college or in my 20s. It's the perfect home- minimal, but incredibly functional and feels unexpectedly spacious! We have the 1 bd 1 bth beauty - sleek, spacious and clean.

I purchase a unit in the fall of 2019 – right before the world went to hell! Modal jumped through a lot of hoops and dealt with many unforeseen issues to make my project happen. Since install, I've been able to rent it out nonstop. The modern style and big feel of the interior really help sell it!

We worked with Hunter from the beginning to help find the best Modal that fit our family’s needs. We purchased a 2 bedroom unit and it has worked great for my sister with special needs to gain some independence.

I purchased the two-bedroom unit right as COVID was hitting in February 2020 and definitely hit some snags due to the pandemic. The installation did take longer; however, the unit has been fully operational for a year now, and we love it. We were going to use it as a short-term rental and ended up renting it out on a year-long lease. Great opportunity for side income.
