Ten specs to check before you buy a crew housing unit
2026-09-28 · specs · buying guide
- Roof: metal roofs hold up better to hail and wind than shingles.
- Siding: long-life engineered siding over thin vinyl.
- Interior walls: 2×4 walls take abuse better than 2×3.
- HVAC: a PTAC per room means one failure affects one worker.
- Insulation: ask for the wall, floor, and ceiling R-values in writing.
- Windows: Low-E, argon-filled windows help in Texas heat.
- Water heater: sized to the number of showers.
- Private baths: fewer complaints and less turnover.
- Frame and transport: a steel chassis built to be moved again.
- Labels: HUD label or TDLR approval that matches your site.
Our standard crew builds cover these. See floor plans.
