Modular Homes in Ulster County NY
We build custom modular homes in Ulster County, NY, from the Hudson River towns of Marlborough and Esopus to New Paltz, Gardiner, Kingston, Saugerties and the Catskill towns to the west. Our Orange County office in Rock Tavern is a short drive away, and our crews handle the full build from design to move-in.
What to Know Before You Build
Rural sites, wells and septic
Outside Kingston and the villages, most Ulster homes use private wells and septic systems. Soil and percolation tests decide the septic design and often the house location, so we schedule them early. Also, lots with ledge rock or slopes need a closer look at the foundation. Our guide to building on a slope explains the options.
Mountain roads and access
Still, narrow roads, steep driveways and tree cover are common in the Shawangunk and Catskill areas. Modules arrive by truck, and then a crane sets them. So we confirm the route and crane position before the factory builds the modules. See what happens on set day.
Local approvals
Each Ulster town has its own building department and zoning rules, and some hamlets and village centers have design review. However, modular homes meet the New York State building code like any site-built home, so the approval process is the same.
Planning Your Budget
In Ulster, site conditions drive a large share of the total cost. For example, well depth, septic design, driveway length and rock removal can vary a lot from one lot to the next. That is why our article on the real costs of building in Ulster County breaks this down, and our guide to modular home costs covers the house itself. For loans, see our financing page.
Full-Time Homes and Getaways
Some Ulster clients are building a primary home near New Paltz or Kingston. Others, however, want a weekend house in the mountains. Because the factory builds the home while we prepare the site, a modular build takes less of your time to oversee.
