Bigfoot Homes Review

Summary of Operations & Manufactured Home Offerings

Bigfoot Homes sells and installs prefab homes and ADUs throughout California. While they primarily focus on manufactured homes, built by several different builders (like Clayton HomesChampion Homes, and Skyline Homes), they can also work on homes built to modular building codes.

Design Overview

Bigfoot Homes’ product line includes both modern and traditional architecture, with all of their homes featuring single-story designs. Depending on the chosen exterior finishes, traditional designs often take on a ranch or cottage aesthetic. Their modern homes and ADUs often feature larger windows, shed-style roofs, and sleek exteriors.

Functionally, their available homes range from smaller, 1 bedroom ADUs with 500 square feet of living space to mid-sized single family homes. Their largest model features over 2,400 square feet of space and up to 5 bedrooms. While they can’t work on fully-custom designs, buyers have the option to personalize certain features of their home such as finish materials and color.

Build Process & Timeline

It is important to note that Bigfoot Homes is not a home builder themselves. Instead they work as a seller and installer for several well-known manufactured and modular home builders such as Clayton, Champion, and Skyline Homes. This allows customers working with Bigfoot Homes to access a wide range of models, over 100+, yet have a single contact point for the home design, purchasing, and installation.

For buyers in Central and Southern California, they can work with Bigfoot Homes on all stages of the project, starting with ordering and designing the home, then permitting the project & preparing the build site, and ending with the delivery and installation of the home. For projects outside of this area, particularly projects north of the Bay Area, they will need to work with a local contractor for the site preparation and home’s installation.

Depending on the project and selected home, the entire process, from placing the order to installing the home can be ready as quickly as 3 months. This is particularly true for buyers looking for a manufactured home, which is the primary specialty of Bigfoot Homes. In some cases, Bigfoot Homes can offer select models as modular homes, which are built to standard site-built code and can be financed and appraise like traditional homes. In this case, buyers can expect homes to cost slightly more and will take several months longer to complete (up to 6 months).
