WHERE SHOULD YOU BUY A PREFAB CABIN?

Prefab Cabins In Texas | What You need to Know! (5)

Your cabin is a long-term investment, as such you should treat it that way when you are considering purchasing one. You will never regret paying attention to the quality details of the builder you are working with. 20 years after your purchase when that nasty Texas thunderstorm rolls in, you will be glad once again that your cabin is equipped with the best roofing, siding, and framing.

Having said that, here are the general ground rules that should be considered when selecting your builder.

1. Your cabin builder should be local

A prefab cabin is by definition portable and can technically shipped in from far away. If you have a relationship with the builder that may be a safe bet, but the best choice is working with a small local company that is ready and available to listen to your distinct needs.

2. Your cabin builder should be well established

You want to make sure that your cabin builder has a positive history in the community. Whether by google or facebook reviews or by a friend or neighbor who has had a good experience with the company, you want to know that you are working with a company that truly cares about its customers. Your builder should have a personal interest in your success in creating your dream getaway space.

3. Your builder should be able to customize your cabin

You want the benefits of a prefab cabin… but what you don’t want is a boring cookie cutter cabin. Your builder should listen to your needs and be able to customize your cabin the way you want it. For example do you just want the shell so that you can finish it yourself? Or do you want a “turn-key” cabin that is completely finished and ready to go?

Also, is your builder willing to work with you to carefully choose your style? Your builder should be a considerate of siding styles, roofing materials and colors that you desire to make sure that your building looks outstanding in your desired landscape.
