The details that make Jacobsen quality impeccable.
Choosing the right home often comes down to which builder is willing to go above and beyond. For Jacobsen Homes, "above and beyond" lives in the details. Here are the twenty construction steps that go into every manufactured home we sell — from the shingles on the roof to the steel I-beam on the chassis.
