Cecil Provost Launches Saratoga Modular

Saratoga Springs, NY--April 22, 2008

Cecil Provost, a prominent local real estate broker, has launched a new company called Saratoga Modular.  Based in Saratoga Springs, the firm specializes in the design and construction of premium quality custom homes, multifamily, and commercial buildings.  Saratoga Modular has already been selected as the area’s exclusive representative for Westchester Homes, one of the nation’s leading custom home builders.

“Most people are pleasantly surprised to learn that our homes are built stronger than any stick-built home, and are much more energy efficient and healthier, yet typically cost 10-25% less than comparable stick-built homes,”  said Provost.  “Every one of our homes is Energy Star compliant and can be LEED certified by the US Green Building Council as a High-Performance Green Home.  We can build anything from ski chalets to luxury mansions to apartment complexes, but we specialize where the savings are greatest:   on premium quality custom homes.  We offer full custom design services, 2x6 and all-plywood construction,  Andersen Windows, Icynene insulation, beautiful designer kitchens and baths, custom woodwork and built-in cabinetry, granite countertops, tile and hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, home theaters, steam showers, etc... if you can dream it, we can build it!”

As labor, material and energy costs continue to climb and credit markets tighten, the timing seems perfect for this new venture. “Modular construction makes sense in all price ranges, but nobody has been serving the mid-upscale market locally,”  says Provost.  “Westchester Homes has earned an outstanding reputation in the most demanding markets in the country - Westchester County, NY and Greenwich, CT - and we’re proud to bring them to this area.  The initial response has been tremendous; we’re already working with a dozen clients from Clifton Park to North Creek.”

Saratoga Modular has building sites available in all price ranges, or will build on your lot.  They offer turn-key project management services but are equally comfortable working with do-it-yourself buyers or qualified general contractors.  Their service area includes the Capital District, Saratoga and Southern Adirondack regions.

The company’s website, www.SaratogaModular.com, is very educational and even includes video segments from the Today Show and HGTV discussing state-of-the-art modular home construction.  Saratoga Modular is located at 63 Putnam Street in Saratoga Springs, and their phone is (518) 587-0100.

Saratoga Modular introduces “Your Heat is On Us”

Saratoga Springs, NY--May 24, 2008

Saratoga Modular, a local design/build firm specializing in highly energy-efficient custom home construction, today announces their “Your Heat is On Us” program.

“With oil and gas prices spiraling out of control, one of the major concerns of today’s homebuyer is the cost of heating their home,” says Saratoga Modular president Cecil Provost. “We’re introducing this program to eliminate this concern for our clients in their first year of ownership, and to emphasize the incredible energy-efficiency of our homes.” Under this new program, Saratoga Modular will pay for the first year’s heating fuel on any new home they build.

Every home that Saratoga Modular builds is Energy-Star compliant, and can be built for LEED (Leadership in Energy Efficient Design) certification as a High Performance Green Home by the US Green Building Council. Their homes are typically 20-30% more energy efficient than standard homes. They have home plans available in all sizes, styles and price ranges, but over 90% are custom designs built to client specifications.
