New Castle Homes
At New Castle Homes, “every day is an open house,” according to the company’s management.
Founded in 1976, the Harrisonville team also serves other Missouri cities within a 100-mile radius. If you wanted a home delivered outside of the Harrisonville area, New Castle Homes will do it for a “nominal charge.”
The company works with various prefab manufacturers such as Dutch Housing, Sunshine Homes, Commodore Homes, Midcountry Homes, and BonnaVilla Homes to build beautiful modular properties.
You can take a virtual home tour through the New Castle website or view videos of the company’s homes to get a taste of what you’re in for.
What We Like
Outside of the company’s modular homes, New Castle Homes also specializes in metal buildings such as barns, garages, carports, RV covers, vertical roof buildings, A-frame roof buildings, and regular roof buildings.
Three Stone Homes
The team at Three Stone Homes understands that finding affordable housing can be difficult in today’s climate. That’s why it specializes in modular homes so that you can live in a house you’re proud to call your own without spending a fortune.
The Three Stone Homes team will include additions to your modular home to make it more habitable, including a second story, a basement, a sunroom, a covered porch, a deck, or a garage. It’s all up to you!

The company’s modular homes are between 1,100 and 2,000 square feet. Some designs feature exquisite amenities such as spacious tiled showers, sliding barn doors, and a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace.

Custom Container Living
Robert Wagoner was always a fan of alternative structures. So in 2015, he decided to take that passion and make it into his career, and Custom Container Living was born.
An inexpensive Missouri modular builder (homes cost between $25,000 and $100,000), Custom Container Living homes are built from upcycled steel and assembled in the company’s local shop.
Of course, Custom Container Living calls itself that for a reason. You can indeed customize any of the floor plans the company offers, from appliances to windows, doors, exterior siding, and much more.
