Method Homes Review
Method Homes is a designer and manufacturer of prefab homes based in Seattle, Washington. They offer 8 styles of single-family homes and ADUs, with over 30 different sizing options and upgrades. Their pre-designed floor plans range from 655 square feet to 2,753 square feet, built to the International Building Code. In terms of style, their homes feature a sleek modern design, with tall windows, sliding glass doors, and flat roofs. Full exterior and interior customization options are available, including custom floor plans. Method Homes is an environmentally friendly company, building to LEED and other environmental certification standards. Their homes feature low VOC paints, above-code insulation, efficient rated vent fans, FSC certified hardwood floors, dual flush toilets, low-flow fixtures, and pre-wiring for solar. Their homes can be built to achieve zero net energy via solar paneling, efficient heating, LED lighting, and efficient appliances.
After permitting and design, Method’s homes are fabricated in their Ferndale, Washington factory and are shipped 80-95% finished. Once on site, homes are usually installed via crane in about 1 day. Method Homes works with a modular crew that handles installation and coordinates the set. After the home is set, a contractor handles on-site work like drywall, flooring, and siding, roof covering, interior stairs, exterior decks, and utility connections. All on-site work can usually be finished in 2-4 months. It is worth noting that while Method Homes handles all design, permitting, and foundation work, buyers have to work with a private contractor for the site building process.
