As Seen In
Working with American Living was an absolute dream from start to finish. I would give 10 stars if I could. John and the entire team were incredibly responsive, kind, professional, and clearly experts in their field. They went above and beyond on multiple occasions, making the entire process not only smooth but truly enjoyable.

Why More Michiganders Are Choosing Modular Homes
Modular homes aren’t what they used to be and that’s a good thing. Built off-site in climate controlled facilities and then assembled on your land, today’s modular homes offer exceptional quality, energy efficiency and design flexibility.
At American Living Inc., we combine the benefits of modular construction with our own commitment to craftsmanship and local service. The result? Homes that are:
1.
Customizable
Choose from hundreds of floor plans or design your own.
3.
Durable
We handle all the heavy lifting and make sure your space is tidy before we leave.
2.
Efficient
Shorter build times and energy-efficient systems that save you money.
4.
Cost-effective
More value per square foot without sacrificing finishes.
If you’ve been curious about modular construction but worried it might feel cookie-cutter or low-end, let us show you the difference that experience, style and service make.

Prefab and Modular Home Set On-Site
John and team built our 5 bed 3 bath house in South Haven and the experience couldn’t have been better. We live in Chicago so not being close I was worried and we had never built this type of home before but John and team made it so easy. I had great planning meetings and it was a breeze picking everything out and finalizing the plans.

First-Time Modular Buyers
Many of our clients come to us with questions about modular homes:
-
Can you build on my lot?
-
Will it look like a “normal” home?
-
What’s the timeline compared to traditional construction?
-
Are modular homes energy efficient?
We don’t expect you to be an expert – that’s our job. We offer free consultations, helpful resources and honest answers so you can feel confident every step of the way.
Your Home. Your Style.
We know one-size-fits-all doesn’t work when it comes to something as personal as your home. Whether you like modern farmhouse, timeless craftsman or clean-lined contemporary spaces, we can help bring that vision to life.
With American Living, modular doesn’t mean limited. It means flexible, thoughtful, and tailored to you.
Real People. Real Homes.
Our greatest accomplishment is the families we’ve helped over the years. From empty nesters looking to downsize to growing families building their forever home, we’ve built hundreds of homes across Michigan that feel just right.
We have been so blessed by our experience with this company and every single team member that we dealt with. Not only was the experience of planning our home fun and smooth and fully supported by them the whole way through, we have also been blown away by the quality of the product. The follow up care and attention they offer is such a blessing. We can't recommend them highly enough!

Our project with American Living Inc., was again outstanding in all respects.
This large two family house was our third residence in Michigan with American Living and our 6th overall with them. I am an engineer and work in the construction industry on numerous large commercial projects and know how difficult it is to bring a project together. John and his team delivered both in quality and timeliness on this very difficult site in a heavily wooded and swampy area.
