Feature Conversation Ritz-Craft Custom Homes

This month, we spoke with Mike Zangardi from Ritz-Craft Custom Homes to discuss their approach to modular home construction, their manufacturing process, and their commitment to quality and employee relations.

A Family-Owned Legacy in Modular Homebuilding

Founded in 1954, Ritz-Craft Custom Homes has remained a privately held, family-owned company for over 70 years. With manufacturing facilities in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania, and Jonesville, Michigan, Ritz-Craft serves a broad market spanning from the Northeast to the Mid-Atlantic and as far west as Iowa. Their focus on quality craftsmanship and innovation is reflected in their relationships with their network of approved builders.

Custom Home Mullins – A Reflection of Thoughtful Modular Design

The February Home of the Month, Custom Home Mullins, showcases Ritz-Craft’s attention to detail and adaptability. Built for a coastal environment in collaboration with Virginia Building Solutions, LLC, this home highlights the benefits of modular design.

After months of planning and refining details, the home moved through the manufacturing process in just about nine days. With a focus on energy efficiency, durability, and aesthetics, this project underscores the advantages of modular construction—speed, precision, and customization.

Prioritizing Safety and Employee Development

Ritz-Craft is committed to workplace safety and fostering a positive work environment. Their motto, "With Us, It’s Personal," highlights their dedication to employee well-being and professional development. The company has established a training facility to help new team members develop the skills needed for success in modular home construction.

Beyond Homebuilding: A Comprehensive Approach

Ritz-Craft integrates several in-house divisions to enhance quality control and efficiency, including:

  • Ritz-Trans: A dedicated trucking company ensuring secure home deliveries.
  • Legacy Building Products: A materials distribution division providing high-quality building materials.
  • Legacy Crafted Cabinetry: A custom cabinetry division supplying modular homes and independent kitchen and bath remodelers.
