Come help us celebrate our 50th Anniversary! Fleetwood is offering a variety of regionally designed homes, echoing a heritage of building homes that fit the homebuyers' regional lifestyles and preferences.

Home Construction Overview
Each carefully inspected step in the construction of a
Fleetwood home insures its quality.

Steel cross members and outriggers are welded to massive steel I-beams to form the base frame, which has been specially engineered to handle the weight of the home.

Over the base frame, 2" x 6" floor joists are laid. Insulation and heat ducts are installed, as well as plumbing.

Then the wood sub-floor is both fastened and glued to the floor joists.

While the frame is being built, other workers are building the walls. Like the sub-floor, the sheetrock isn't merely nailed to the studs, it's also glued.

After the walls are installed on the floor, truss rafters for the roof are attached and plenty of high-grade attic insulation is blown in. The roof is sheathed, covered with roofing paper and tarred three feet up from the edge for extra protection and a good seal. The roof is then shingled.

During this phase, the interior is being finished. Custom cabinetry from Fleetwood's industry-leading cabinet shop is installed.

Also at this time, the siding is mounted and windows set in place.

The pieces of a multi-section home are brought together to make sure that wallseams and patterns match up. After a final inspection, the home is prepared for transport. And there you have it. Another carefully crafted Fleetwood home.
