Proto Homes
Proto’s proprietary technology powered home building system yields higher quality homes in half the time and cost of equivalent stick-built custom homes. Designed with sustainability and longevity in mind, not only are our homes beyond green, but they are also packed with features such as movable light switches. With custom design flexibility, you can work with us to algorithmically design the home of your dreams.
Just like high-end custom homes, Proto Houses are designed based on site-specific requirements and assembled at the site, under complete scrutiny and inspection of local building department officials. Unlike many modular and manufactured prefab homes, our homes meet the same traditional financing standards as site-built custom homes.
From BuildZoom:
Their BuildZoom score of 0 does not rank in the top 50% of California contractors.
If you are thinking of hiring Proto Homes, we recommend double-checking their license status with the license board and using our project planner to get competitive quotes.
