Upgrades that You Can Do to Your Prefab Home

Your prefab home from Green-R-Panel gives you a strong, efficient, and customizable foundation—but the journey doesn’t end at move-in day. Because panelized homes are built with precision framing and a tight building envelope, they’re ideal platforms for meaningful upgrades that boost comfort, value, and sustainability over time.

Energy Efficiency Upgrades

Take advantage of your home’s already-tight envelope with smart energy enhancements:

• Upgrade to triple-pane windows or add low-E coatings
• Install a high-efficiency HVAC system with smart zoning
• Add solar panels to reduce long-term utility costs
• Use LED lighting and ENERGY STAR® appliances throughout

These upgrades build on the energy performance of your prefabricated wall panels and engineered roof trusses, helping you save more while living comfortably.

Smart Home Technology

Modern prefab homes are wired for the future. Easily integrate:

• Smart thermostats that learn your schedule
• Video doorbells and security systems
• Automated lighting and blinds
• Whole-home Wi-Fi mesh networks

Because panelized construction allows for clean, planned rough-ins, adding smart tech during or after build-out is straightforward and cost-effective.

Interior Finishes and Fixtures

Elevate everyday living with thoughtful interior choices:

• Hardwood or luxury vinyl plank flooring for durability and style
• Quartz or solid-surface countertops in kitchens and baths
• Custom cabinetry with soft-close hardware
• Statement lighting and designer paint colors

Since your structural shell is already complete, you have full freedom to personalize finishes without compromising performance.

Exterior and Landscaping Enhancements

Boost curb appeal and outdoor livability:

• Add a covered porch, deck, or patio using your home’s strong foundation
• Install fiber cement or stone veneer siding for lasting beauty
• Use native, drought-tolerant landscaping to reduce water use
• Incorporate rainwater harvesting or permeable pavers

These upgrades complement your home’s clean lines and enhance long-term property value.

Accessibility and Aging-in-Place Modifications

Plan ahead for changing needs with universal design features:

• Widen doorways (easy with open-panel framing)
• Install zero-threshold showers and grab bars
• Add a first-floor bedroom or in-law suite
• Use lever-style door handles and rocker light switches

The flexibility of a panelized building system makes these modifications simpler than in traditional stick-built homes.

Storage and Organization Solutions

Maximize every square foot with smart storage:

• Custom closet systems and pantry organizers
• Under-stair storage or loft shelving
• Garage cabinets and mudroom lockers
• Attic or crawlspace access for seasonal items

Well-planned storage reduces clutter and supports a calmer, more functional home life.
