Specifications & Warranty - Manorwood Homes

All homes made by Manorwood Homes are constructed with many standard features that exceed building code requirements. Every home is built with 2X6" exterior walls and 2X4" interior walls. Every house we build is well insulated - a minimum of R30 insulation in the ceiling and R19 in all exterior walls. Every home is also fully protected by structural grade OSB sheathing around the entire exterior.

Contruction Process

Every home built by Manorwood is built inside a controlled environment. Our employees are skilled crafts people, building homes by hand and with powerful, sophisticated tools. Our main components are assembled on specialized jigs, ensuring quality and precision. We use quality, graded lumber, and name-brand appliances, flooring, and other amenities.

Each phase of the construction process is monitored by Manorwood's quality assurance team to provide the highest level of workmanship. In addition, an independent third party inspection agency assures that each house is built in accordance with state approved codes.

Floors & Frames
Our transverse floor systems are built on specialized jigs, using graded 2 X 10" floor joists, with engineered truss joists as an option. Tongue and grooved OSB floor decking is both glued and mechanically fastened to create a solid, quiet floor.

Exterior Walls
All exterior walls use 2 X 6" studs on 16" centers. The walls are constructed on jigs, insulation installed in all cavities, and drywall is attached with special adhesives and mechanical fasteners. Exterior walls are finished with OSB before siding is applied.

Interior Walls
All interior walls use graded 2 X 4" studs. Drywall is attached with adhesives and mechanical fasteners. The drywall finishing begins with special high strength corners, then three full coats of joint compound are applied for a smooth even finish. Finally a generous coverage of primer paint is sprayed and then rolled to create a uniform texture.

Roof and Ceiling
Proffessionally engineered trusses are precisly layed out on a specialized jig. Ceiling drywall is attached using special adhesives, eliminating the need for nails while providing even greater stability. The ceiling you selected is primed and finished. The entire roof system is attached to the home, fastened to every interior and exterior wall. A blanket of insulation is blown in, decking is fastened to the trusses, and soffit ventilation is completed. Finally, shingle underlayment, sealants, and architectural shingles are installed.

Mechanicals
Kitchen and bath fixtures are completed and ready for site hook-up. Electrical work is also completed as much as possible, typically with the electrical panel box ready for site hook-up. All electric, water lines, and drain systems are tested and inspected again to ensure all systems are functioning properly.

Quality Finishes
A strong, well-built house is now just about structurally complete. We turn it into your home with a stunning array of options you may choose from, including:

• wide range of high-quality exterior doors and vinyl siding

• broad selection of exterior colors, shutters, and designer lights

Warranty

The Commodore Corporation and its divisions are proud to include the New Home Warranty by Residential Warranty Corporation ("RWC") and Manufactured Housing Warranty Corporation (“MHWC”) on almost all of its new modular and manufactured homes. RWC and MHWC builders are thoroughly examined for financial stability, customer satisfaction, and technical competence.

The RWC New Home Warranty for new modular homes provides buyers with one year of coverage on workmanship, and ten years of coverage on major structural components. Similarly, the MHWC New Home Warranty for new manufactured (“HUD”) homes provides buyers with one year of coverage on workmanship, and ten years of coverage on major structural components.

When you buy a new product, you expect it to work as intended. A written warranty is your assurance of product satisfaction. Since a home is one of the most expensive items you will buy, you should expect it to come with a written warranty. With the RWC New Home Warranty or MHWC New Home Warranty on your home, you can be assured that your home was built by professionals and that it meets certain industry standards of quality construction.

Providing the homeowner with a strong foundation of security for their home is important to The Commodore Corporation. You should have the peace of mind knowing that The Commodore Corporation has made the extra effort to provide you with a written commitment - a warranty on your new home protecting your investment for years to come. After you move in, your RWC Warranty or MHWC Warranty specifies what will be done to correct problems that may arise from the components used in constructing your home.

Setting this warranty apart from others is the length of the warranty term. Traditionally, a third-party company will provide a specific warranty on your home for one year. However, the RWC Warranty or MHWC Warranty provides buyers with one year of coverage on workmanship, and ten years of coverage on major structural components. The warranty is fully transferable to new owners. With the RWC Warranty and MHWC Warranty, you can feel confident in your purchase and protect your investment for years to come.

For more information about RWC or MHWC, please visit their website at www.rwcwarranty.com. Contact your local retailer or builder for information on which homes carry the RWC or MHWC warranties, or simply check the "Standards and Features" section for that specific model, and thank you for considering our homes as yours.
