Sunlight Homes Review

Sunlight Homes is a custom prefab home designer based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Sunlight Homes utilizes passive solar designs and technological elements like highly-insulative Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) to create homes that are energy efficient and when desired, zero energy. As a custom home designer, Sunlight Homes can design homes that integrate well into the topography of the building site, all while meeting buyer’s wants, needs, and budgetary requirements. That being said, past styles of homes from Sunlight Homes draw on southwestern design elements, and also include ranches, two-story homes, and modern homes.

From a logistical standpoint, Sunlight Homes primarily acts as a home designer and structural kit provider. Their typical service includes the home design, building plans, and structural kit: wall and roof SIPs with an R-41 rating, exterior doors, and triple pane windows. Buyers also have the option to upgrade components of their home including: upgraded windows, hardwood exterior doors, higher R-value SIPs (up to R-52 in single panel construction, or an assembly of panels to achieve higher R-values), panelized garage package, and panelized floor package. While it may be possible for Sunlight Homes to act as the general contractor on projects located within Albuquerque, it is often the responsibility of a third party general contractor to complete site-work, assemble, and finish the interior of the home.

Strengths:

  • Specialize in energy efficient, zero energy home designs

  • Custom design services and design homes southwest-style homes

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • You are looking for a more comprehensive building kit

  • You would like to work with the same company for the duration of your home-build
