Owner and designer Stephen Marshall has more than 50 years of design and construction expertise in affordable home design. He began his career in 1973 building custom homes in West Marin. For the last thirteen years, he has focused on factory-built homes, partnering with several factories to deliver custom homes at prices competitive with mainstream mobile home manufacturers.

On top of all that, Stephen is now certified as a C-47 General Manufactured Housing Contractor.

If you’re unfamiliar with this classification, here’s what the license entails:

(a) A general manufactured housing contractor installs, alters, repairs, or prepares for moving any type of manufactured home as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code, any type of mobilehome as defined in Section 18008 of the Health and Safety Code, and any type of multifamily manufactured home as defined in Section 18008.7 of the Health and Safety Code, including the accessory buildings or structures, and the foundations. A manufactured home does not include any recreational vehicle, commercial coach, or factory-built housing as defined in Section 19971 of the Health and Safety Code

(b) A general manufactured housing contractor may provide utility services on a single-family individual site placement. Utility services mean the connection of gas, water, sewer, and electrical utilities to the home.

Long story short: if you’re in need of any permitting, installation, or utility services, Sonoma Manufactured Home Installation has got you covered.
