1

Visit Franklin Home Center

The journey starts right here with us. At Franklin Home Center, you can walk through model homes on our lot, view samples of décor and finishes, and sit down with our experts to talk about floor plans, custom options, and financing. While we can’t display every single Franklin plan on-site, we can order and customize any design you choose — giving you endless possibilities.

Finalize Your Financing

Once you’ve selected your home, it’s time to secure financing. Our team works closely with trusted lenders to simplify the process. You’ll review and approve a final floor plan and specification sheet before your home is ordered, ensuring everything matches your vision. Keep in mind — once the order is placed, changes may not be possible.

Building Your Home

Your custom Franklin Home will be built just down the road at the Franklin Homes factory in Russellville, Alabama. The build process happens in stages:
  • Week 1: Structural components are completed — floors, walls, roofing, and exterior finishes.
  • Week 2: Interior details are added — cabinetry, flooring, moldings, plumbing, and fixtures.
  • Week 3: Appliances and final finishes are installed, and your home is prepared for delivery.

Site Preparation & Installation

While your home is being built, we’ll help coordinate site prep and foundation work. Once ready, your home will be delivered and installed by a licensed installation crew, following the exact foundation specifications chosen during the ordering process.

Final Touches & Move-In

After installation, the Franklin factory crew will complete the finishing touches — from sheetrock and trim at connection points to any flooring or cosmetic details. Together, we’ll do a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations. Then comes the best part: moving into your brand-new Franklin Home.
