About Blu Homes

Blu Homes Breezehouse
Breezehouse 2100

Blu Homes was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Vallejo, California. Since its launch, the company has grown to become a leader in premium prefab homes. Their homes are built in half the time of conventional homes and feature open floor plans that bring the outdoors in.

Blu uses proprietary information technology to create 3D home designs for customers. This makes it easier to envision the home and its elements. Their homes come at a clear, fixed price.

In June 2020, Blu was acquired by Dvele, another premium modular home manufacturer. Together, the technologies of both companies produce stunningly modern homes that are incredibly efficient.

What Makes Blu a Leader in Modular Prefabs?

Being acquired by Dvele has made Blue Homes even better. Here’s what makes Blu stand out from the rest:

#1 – Advanced Air Filtration

Blu Homes capture more than 90% of particles from 1-10 microns and efficiently exhaust air out of areas of the home that produce odors and moisture.

Homes utilize two MERV 13 filters to reduce airborne mold and create healthier indoor air. Every room in the home is designed to circulate fresh, filtered air into the space while removing stale air.

Continuous air circulation reduces microbial pathogens while removing odors and moisture and regulating CO2.

#2 – Water Filtration

All Blu homes now come with an in-line water filtration system, so every faucet in the home delivers pure, clean drinking water. The system removes harmful contaminants from the water, including:

  • Pesticides
  • Heavy metals
  • VOCs
  • Herbicides
  • Pharmaceutical chemicals
  • Industrial solvents
  • Chlorine

It also works to soften the water without needing salt and uses UV filtration to kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses.

#3 – Smart Home Monitoring

Blu Homes now have smart monitoring to ensure a healthy home environment. The system incorporates in-wall moisture monitoring to analyze moisture levels without having to damage walls or compromise the home’s structural integrity.

This automated system has many working parts:

  • Advanced air quality monitoring
  • Continuous air quality and radon monitoring
  • In-wall/roof assembly condition monitors

#4 – Quick Construction Process

Blu Homes take just 8 weeks to build at the factory. It takes just one day to set the home and between 2 days and 4 weeks to finish on-site.

Permits and site work will require additional time, which can range anywhere from a few months to over a year.

#5 – Low Energy Costs

With a Blu home, monthly operating costs are up to 50% lower. Cost of ownership and maintenance is also lower. Homeowners save an average of $7,000 or more in energy costs over ten years.

#6 – Industry-Leading Warranties

Blu Homes offers peace of mind to buyers by offering industry-leading warranties, including:

  • 10-year structural warranty: Covers structural defect repairs for 10 years
  • 2-year systems warranty: Covers plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems
  • 1-year workmanship warranty: Covers defects in workmanship or materials, including countertops, cabinets, paint, flooring and exterior siding
