Hurricane Resistant PREFAB HOMES are now Available on the East Coast!

Hurricane resistant Prefab Homes are available in the United States right now. Two of the most requested items requested in the comments of my channel are homes available on the East Coast and homes that will hold up in extreme weather. Today I am happy to announce that I found a company that cover both. Steel Homes Modular is a Florida based Prefab Home company building steel frame modular homes that hold up in 178mph winds. In this video I look at who they are, what they offer and where people can get one. Watch and learn more about Steel Homes Modular and their modern steel frame modular homes.

Just watched this a few hours ago and I was like “WHATT, on Miami!?!?” That’s where I stay… looked it up immediately and I drove down there… it’s in the industrial side of Opa-locka… and I just got out of the place. large facility and though they were about to close Jennifer received me and my wife with no appointment. She explained how they work and their payment structure… (General contractor required) a bit pricey but these are turn key ready… we say their outside model and this was just a dream… exactly what me and the wife are looking for… and your right… the have a BUNCH of different models in their catalog. They asked how did I hear about them and I told them and showed them your you tube channel… They laughed and now knew why they been having such high call volume in the past day or so… Kerry… thank you so much for the on-site as this is literally only 25 minutes from my home!!! Your the best and keep them videos coming!!!

[@sarpkaya1786]

How much did they quote you? I've seen some negative comments online about the general contractor related things about this company. All I'm trying to figure out is at the end of the day, how much would it cost to go ahead with this company; vs just the traditional way of building the houses.

[@franklinsantiago4353]

@@sarpkaya1786 well… she didn’t quote me a specific amount but more like a range… 110,000 to 160,000. And they did say that they do not sell directly to the public but only to a general contractor of there’s or your own. All units come fully finished except with the appliances. And the turn around time is 6-8 weeks. Everything is built at the factory including the inspection.

[@KerryTarnow]

Hey Franklin! That’s awesome, thank you for sharing this 🙌🏼

[@marianl3447]

That's all so coool.....i thank you for sharing too. it's really good to hear from people who are able to have contact with the business directly in person and tell us the details of their experience.i think the price range is great and it makes sense now why they don't just quote prices...where there are a lot of options and work with a general contractor. This is really helpful info.

[@sarpkaya1786]

Thank you for the details. I'll definitely contact them then! I wanna know if there are houses that they've completed that I can go and see

[@sarpkaya1786]

I got their price list. It starts from $144,200 for 1400sqft 3 bedroom 2 bathroom. The highest price is $269,600 for 5bedroom 4 bathroom 2520sqft The one in the thumbnail of this video costs $161,900 and it's 1557sqft. Feel free to pin this

[@garrybest3534]

So, $104 per square foot of living space. Not bad but would need to know about the level of quality in the bathrooms & kitchen. "Where the water flows --- The money goes."

[@lepidoptery]

is that fully finished? and then on top of that you would need to pay transportation and actually assembling it on-site?

[@stuartgregory6848]

Thanks for posting the price range. This at least gives us (me) an idea on figuring out a rough budget. Cheers from Toronto.

[@hamadilawson7634]

I don't know what Florida's prices are like but the price per square ft seems perfectly reasonable .

[@nickiannotti5632]

Is that including delivery and foundation?

[@OcalaBrew]

LOVE that last 2 bedroom model! I am a Floridian, and bug proofing and hurricane Protection are a must, so two thumbs up! Also an A+ for square walls!

[@KerryTarnow]

Glad you like them!

[@paologustilo0831]

How much are these houses?

[@mimemitropoulos2667]

I've been building with them for the last 5 years, it's an incredible product it's giving me and my team flexibility to look for additional lots to continue construction. Their professionalism and product is above any in the industry. They are the real deal incredible family business. I've built the Rose, the Sunflower, the Lily and the Sunflower duplex. They've all worked incredibly for me. My final completion once the homes arrives is between 30 to 45 more days to get the final C.O. Once you're hooked you can't build any other way. For me it's been less stress seamless and streamline. Would highly recommend them.

[@KerryTarnow]

[@davidsauls9542]

Kerry, Thank You Thank You Thank YOU !! Formosan Termites are all over the northern gulf of mexico and coming to a theater near you Soon. They are a horror show. The colonies are hundreds of times the size of terrestrial termites and they FLY in, so no ground treatment helps. They eat the house, the book shelves and the books! I am not joking. A patient of mine brought in just such a book after her home was demolished by the bugs. No insurance covers the loss. Steel or concrete are the only way to go now, at least in this area. I saw a 5 year old home get eaten recently. This steel is wonderful. THANK YOU KERRY !!

[@KerryTarnow]

Yikes! That does sound like a horror show 😱

[@dalegereaux1863]

Very nice-looking homes. I hope they give you some prices soon. I like the idea of steel construction especially since termites can't eat them ! I guess hurricane resistant is pretty important too, especially in Florida. 😏

[@tammyboggs346]

I wonder about how the humidity affects the steel.

[@juancardenas7101]

South Texas gets hurricanes also.

[@deni9626]

I like the first one, these are really a good idea. They take the Manufatured Home or Double wide and turn it into one better that stick built. They are probably manufacturing the tiny homes as well. Even a 500 is good size. I owned a home that was 660 ft, 2 bedroom, 1 bath from the 1920s. That house was really bult well, it had even been moved and had no way to tell it. I REALLY like that they recycle metal from Cars. Sustainable all away around.

[@EFergDindrane]

Those are really nicely sized kitchens! If you have to live somewhere, you don't want cooking to be any more of a trial than necessary, and a lot of smaller homes ignore the need for cabinets/pantry space, as well as prep space, not cluttered with things like coffee makers. You need space to put your daily-use stuff.

[@janegardener1662]

Now that lumber is so expensive steel construction is becoming a viable alternative.

[@KerryTarnow]

870 sq ft would work for me....Would love 1000 or closer to that but 870 is really ok or even good...depending on lay out and storage space.... so I am delighted to see this . If could afford it , I would love the duplex idea to rent and help pay for it. Another awesome find with some good points you brought up that this kind has to offer and that make it a possible preference over others we have seen...tho w/o prices is hard to assess that...i appreciate just knowing about these for now. Thanks Kerry...you're so good to us with finding and showing and explaining these.

[@mitubogoogle]

I have been looking for quite some time for different systems.... Container homes, domes, modular. This company makes sense - will have to see the prices.... There is another company in Florida, called American Ingenuity. They sell concrete domes for assembly. Hurricane and tornado resistant. I drove two hours to see the factory. I like their reputation and ethics. They have been in business for decades. They sell the kits for assembly on site. *PLEASE consider doing a video on them*. Glenda is a straight shooter, no-nonsense, old school (in a good sense) decent business owner.,..

actually the main problem with steel is that it work hardens EXTREMELY easily . im from the caribbean and having been threw so many huricanes i can gurantee that the back and forth rocking motion of the house caused by the winds will work harden the steel at any flex points and it will snap thats why in the caribbean when you hear hurricane resistant house you hear about concrete construction

Sooo I live in miami and have a few properties that I wanted make additions on. I worked with steel modular for about a year (live close to their factory) At first it seems all roses and bubbles until you dig deeper. years ago they were averaging about $100/sq. ft. now its about 150. however the addition costs after the purchase is what took me out. 1.A GC is needed to install everything and prep the site. 2. Shipping costs are paid for by the buyer. 3. Steel prices fluctuate in the futures market however they do a good job at keeping hikes to a minimum,. Only thing I would recommend is if you already have land in SOUTH FLORIDA then it could be worth it. All Steel modular really brings to the equation is time. They can have a unit done in a matter of months if you have land. If not , it will take over a year considering they now have orders from real home builders. crazy how fast they have grown.
