KIT Custom Homebuilders Review

KIT Custom Homebuilders is a manufactured home designer and manufacturer based in Caldwell, Idaho. They mainly concentrate their operations on both single-wide and multi-section manufactured homes. Their houses are then distributed by a network of 39 retailers. These distribution partners are located throughout the Western U.S. (ID, OR, CA CO, MT, NV, UT, and WA).

Architecturally speaking, homes from KIT Custom Homebuilders are heavily influenced by a range of design influences. For example, they have homes that feature cabin, modern farmhouse, ranch, cottage, and craftsman architecture. Though, with 128 manufactured homes currently for sale, individuals have many options to choose from. These range from 1 bed, 532 square foot homes up to 4 bed, 2,832 square foot homes. In addition to their pre-designed homes, KIT Custom Homebuilders can also design and build fully custom homes. It is worth mentioning though, that because KIT Custom Homebuilders primarily operates via a network of sales centers, not all floor plans may be available in your area. 

When choosing a home from KIT Custom Homebuilders, there are a few things buyers should know. First, from a design standpoint their homes come standard with finished interiors. It is worth noting however, that individuals have significant liberty in personalizing the design of their home. This includes countertops (material and color), exterior finishes, and bathroom upgrades (tiled shower, soaker tubs, dual sinks). And logistically, their houses can easily be shipped and placed on the foundation or build site. And once individuals buy their home from a KIT Custom Homebuilders’ sales center, the local retailer is responsible for placing the order and coordinating delivery and setup. 

Strengths:

  • Offer models with upgraded design elements such as walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms

  • Build and sell both modular and manufactured homes

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • You are located outside of their Western U.S. service area

  • Some of their designs and upgrade options make them more expensive than some competitors
