Modular on the Water: Building Beach or Lake Homes with Westchester Modular
There’s nothing quite like waking up to the sound of waves or enjoying a sunset over a peaceful lake. Waterfront homes offer unmatched beauty and tranquility — but they also demand careful planning, particularly when it comes to building codes, durability, and weather resilience. That’s where Westchester Modular Homes Construction Corp. comes in with homes that meet the latest FEMA code.
Whether you’re building a beachside retreat or a lakefront getaway, a modular home offers distinct advantages. At Westchester Modular, we’ve helped countless homeowners bring their vision to life on the water — with the strength, safety, and speed that modular construction provides.
Built to the Latest FEMA Codes
When building on or near the water, compliance with FEMA regulations and local flood zone requirements is essential. Westchester Modular homes are built to meet — and often exceed — the latest FEMA coastal construction codes. That includes elevation standards, wind resistance, and foundation requirements designed specifically for high-risk flood areas.
In fact, several of our clients have turned to Westchester Modular Homes after their previous homes were damaged or destroyed by storms or flooding. They chose us because they needed to rebuild quickly, safely, and with greater peace of mind.
Precision-Built for Resilience
Each Westchester Modular home is constructed in a climate-controlled factory, ensuring every module is built with precision and consistency. This method not only speeds up construction but also improves quality control — a critical factor when building in environments subject to coastal weather or seasonal extremes.
Because modular homes are delivered and set on-site in a matter of days, your home is exposed to the elements for far less time than traditional stick-built homes — reducing the risk of weather-related damage during construction.
We’ve built homes across the Northeast coast and on lakes like the gorgeous waterfront home below.
Custom Design for Waterfront Living
From oversized windows to take in water views, to elevated foundations and decks, our team will work with you to customize every detail of your beach or lake home. Whether it’s a year-round residence or a seasonal vacation home, we can tailor the layout and finishes to fit your lifestyle. See below for a client’s gorgeous living room complete with breathtaking water views.
We also coordinate with engineers, surveyors, and local officials to ensure your home is properly permitted and prepared for its unique site conditions — from sandy soil to steep slopes.
Rebuild Better, Build Modular
If you’ve experienced flood damage or are simply ready to upgrade your waterfront living, Westchester Modular Homes offers a streamlined, code-compliant path to a better-built home — one that combines beauty, performance, and durability on the water.
