Modular Homes
Precision-Built Homes with Custom Finishing
Modular Homes Built with Precision and Experience
Sherman Buildings has partnered with trusted modular home manufacturers for decades, delivering factory-built quality to Minnesota families at a price that makes sense. Modular homes are built in climate-controlled facilities, inspected at every stage, and placed on permanent foundations — making them structurally equivalent to site-built homes while offering real cost and timeline advantages.
Every Sherman modular home can be fully customized — floor plans, interior finishes, exterior siding, fixtures, and cabinetry — so you get the home you envisioned, not a compromise. Our full-service approach means we handle everything from site preparation and foundation to final finishing and auxiliary structures like garages and workshops.
From Concept to Closing
Sherman manages every phase of your modular home build so you can focus on what matters.
Land Selection & Site Evaluation
Sherman reviews your lot or helps you identify suitable land, evaluating soil conditions, utility access, and local zoning requirements.
Design Customization & Floor Plan Alignment
Work with our team to choose your model and customize floor plan, finishes, fixtures, and colors to match your vision and budget.
Permitting & Site Preparation
We handle the permitting process and prepare your site — grading, utilities, and foundation work — before the home arrives.
Factory Construction & Delivery
Your home is precision-built in a controlled factory environment and delivered to your site, typically within weeks of your order.
Foundation, Set & Finish Work
Sherman sets the home on its permanent foundation and completes all finish work — mechanical connections, interior trim, and exterior details.
Auxiliary Structures
Add a garage, workshop, she-shed, or storage building to complete your property. Sherman builds it all under one roof.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose modular over traditional construction?
Factory-controlled environments mean better quality control and far less exposure to weather delays. Every component is built to precise specifications, inspected at the factory, and arrives at your site ready to set. The result is a tighter, more consistent build than most site-built homes can achieve.
What should buyers be aware of upfront?
Buyers should understand land requirements before committing — including setbacks, utility access (well, septic or municipal), and local permit timelines. Sherman will walk you through all of this during the initial consultation so there are no surprises.
How is Sherman different from other modular builders?
50 years of experience in Minnesota and the upper Midwest sets Sherman apart. We offer a fully managed process from site preparation to final finish — not just delivery. The Kelling family has built thousands of structures and treats every project with the same attention to detail.
Is a modular home a good option if I already own land?
Yes — owning land is ideal. Sherman handles site prep, foundation, utility connections, and all finish work, so your existing land becomes the starting point for a smooth, efficient build.
How long does the process take?
From signed order to move-in, most modular home projects take 3 to 6 months. Site prep and permitting timelines vary by county, but Sherman coordinates the full schedule to keep your project moving.
Are modular homes customizable?
Yes. You can adjust floor plans, select interior finishes, choose fixtures and cabinetry, and pick exterior colors and siding styles. Sherman works with you to make the home feel uniquely yours.
What do you mean by 'affordable to live in'?
Modular homes are built with energy efficiency in mind — tight construction, quality insulation, and modern HVAC systems all contribute to lower monthly heating and cooling costs, which matter a lot in Minnesota winters.
Why are modular homes more affordable than site-built?
Factory construction eliminates material waste, reduces labor time, and removes weather delays. These efficiencies — combined with bulk purchasing power — translate to real cost savings for buyers without sacrificing quality.
Are modular homes lower quality than site-built homes?
No. Modular homes are built to the same state and local building codes as site-built homes. In many cases they exceed site-built quality because factory construction allows for tighter tolerances, better inspections, and drier materials.
Who are modular homes the right fit for?
First-time buyers, growing families, downsizing retirees, and anyone who wants a quality, energy-efficient home at a competitive price. If you value craftsmanship and want a straightforward, managed building process, a Sherman modular home is worth exploring.
