Built for Maine. Standard.

Heavier snow loads and better insulation aren’t upgrades on our homes.

They come standard, because this is where we live.

Welcome to transparent information.

With many manufactured and modular homes, the version that’s ready for a Maine winter costs extra: a heavier roof load here, an insulation package there. When Schiavi Homes quotes your new home, those costs are included. We believe if you can't opt out of a specification, it isn't an option or an upgrade; therefore, it's in our price.


Typical dealers will advertise an incredible "starting at" price but the sales tax isn't included, the steps for the back door aren't included, the roof load has to be upgraded, the utility hook ups aren't included... the list goes on and on. Our quotes include all of this, so there are no surprises for you. In addition to including many of the line items considered options or upgrades by other dealers, our standard specifications exceed the federal minimums for our region.


At Schiavi Homes the price you’re quoted is for a home that’s built for Maine. 

The Schiavi Difference

Insulation where it matters.

Keeping your home cool in the Summer and warm in the Winter can be costly. Insulation is a key component in your home's efficiency. Creating a solid envelope around your conditioned space is important. Keep in mind, heat rises, this means your floor, ceiling and roof insulation is particularly important.


Our homes meet or exceed all HUD or MUBEC insulation requirements.

Roofs built for snow.

Our singlewide & doublewides are built with 40 pound roof systems as standard. This meets the requirement for all counties in Maine.


Our modular homes are built with 100 pound roof systems as standard. This exceeds the requirement for the State of Maine.

Wrapped against the wind.

Insulation keeps your heat in. Housewrap keeps the nor’easter out. Every home gets Tyvek housewrap over taped sheathing seams, sealing out drafts and moisture.

Graded for Spring thaw.

 When the snow melts, water has to go somewhere. We grade your lot so runoff moves away from your home, not under it. 

Freeze prevention.

There’s nothing like a frozen water line in January. Our crew runs your water and sewer lines below frost depth, we also include insulating your pressure tank and installing your heat tape in our scope of work, so your water keeps flowing all winter. 

The right person at every step.

 From your first visit to move-in day, you work with a team member who specializes in that part of the process. Our sales team isn’t trying to manage your build, and our construction team isn’t off selling the next home. Wherever you are in the process, you’re talking to the person whose job it is to help.
