Redman New Moon Residential??

[Curt]

My wife and I are looking at getting a new Redman New Moon Residential with all finished drywall and putting it on a basement. Does anyone have any feed back on this home (good or bad). It seems to be built very well, comes standard with osb floor. Any comments would be appreciated.

Hello Curt,

I like Redman’s new series called the New Moon. This home has drywall throughout and 2x8 floors in their 32' wide models with 2x6 exterior wall construction. They also have a 30lb. roof load and 12" overhangs. Their walls are 8 feet high with flat ceilings this gives the home a residential look inside. I would increase the R-factors and up-grade to a 4-12 or 5-12 roof pitch. I would place this series into the, "Quality Construction Category." You can expect to pay about $40 to $50 a square for this series and they are definitely appealing to the mid-range and upper-end buyers. I like their floor plans but wish they built a three-sectioned home but you can't have everything. If you place this home on a basement or concrete foundation it will appreciate very well. Just be sure to add lap siding and a 4-12 roof pitch for residential appeal, this will really increase the value of the home. Hope this answers your questions.
