Frequently Asked Questions

Warranty specifics are provided at the time of quote and vary based on the home model and components selected. The 10-year coverage typically addresses structural elements and manufacturer defects. Titan's in-house service and parts department handles warranty work directly, which speeds up repairs compared to third-party service coordination.

West Texas caliche and clay soil requires compaction testing and proper grading to prevent settling under the home's weight. Without adequate leveling and drainage grading, soil shifts during seasonal moisture changes cause frame stress. Site prep includes clearing, grading to code, and creating stable pad conditions that meet installation requirements.

Manufactured homes are built to HUD code with factory-set layouts and limited structural changes, while modular homes follow state building codes and allow floor plan modifications, room additions, and finish upgrades. Modular construction permits design flexibility similar to site-built homes. Your budget and permanence goals determine which customization level makes sense.

Yes, tiny homes work on undeveloped land with septic systems and well water or hauled water setups. Electrical needs are met through grid connection, generator, or solar depending on location and usage. Zoning and setback requirements vary by county, so land evaluation confirms feasibility before placement and utility installation begin.

Rural properties outside city limits in areas like Andrews, Seminole, and parts of Odessa lack municipal sewer access. Septic systems handle wastewater treatment on-site and are required for any home on undeveloped land. Soil percolation testing determines system sizing and drain field placement based on soil absorption rates.

Titan handles land identification, site evaluation, permitting, clearing and grading, foundation installation, home delivery and setup, utility connections including septic if needed, and final inspections. Each phase is coordinated in sequence so delays in one step don't cascade. You're involved in decisions but not responsible for managing contractors or scheduling.

Financing can cover both land purchase and home cost through bundled land-home loans, which differ from traditional mortgages. Titan provides financial analysis to evaluate loan options including low or zero down programs where buyers qualify. Approval depends on credit, income, and whether the land and home together meet lender requirements.

Building permits, electrical permits, and plumbing permits are standard, plus septic permits if installing a wastewater system. Local jurisdictions also require foundation inspections and final occupancy approval. Titan coordinates permit applications and inspection scheduling across multiple agencies to meet compliance requirements without homeowner involvement in paperwork or follow-up.

In-house service eliminates wait times for third-party contractors and parts ordering from distant suppliers. When warranty issues or post-installation adjustments arise, repairs happen faster because parts are stocked locally and techs are familiar with Champion home systems. This reduces downtime from days or weeks to typically same-week resolution.

Soil stability, drainage slope, and accessibility for delivery trucks determine suitability. Land evaluations check for rock layers that complicate pier placement, flood zones that require elevation, and utility access points. Titan assesses these factors during site visits and identifies grading or clearing work needed before foundation installation can proceed.

Tiny home ownership builds equity instead of paying rent, and placement on owned or leased land eliminates landlord restrictions. Monthly costs often run lower than apartment rent when land is paid off or leased affordably. Tiny homes also relocate if job or family situations change, unlike apartment leases tied to fixed locations.

Yes, full turnkey services including land assistance, site prep, permitting, and installation extend into New Mexico areas like Hobbs. Permitting and code requirements differ between states, so Titan coordinates with New Mexico jurisdictions separately. Service and parts support operates the same regardless of whether the home is placed in Texas or New Mexico.
