ADVERTORIAL

The evolution of the manufactured home .

Castlegar business,
Cal West
Manufactured
Homes, is providing
the West Kootenay
with affordable
housing

By the year 2001, another

ing in British Columbia. The
influx will put still more pressure
of the supply of housing in a mar-
ket where prices are already
among the highest in Canada.

But there are alternatives in
Castlegar, the latest of which is
(Cal West Manufactured Homes, a
welcomed addition to the local
business scene locating here in
October 1993.

With factories in B.C., Alber-
ta and Saskatchewan, Cal West
represents the the largest retailer
of manufactured homes in North
America. But that doesn’t mean
customers will get lost in the
shuffle—not even close.

Recently, the company was
the proud recipient of the SRI
Customer Service Award. a
prize that honors those in the
business who strive for service
and quality excellence. This pro-
fessional high quality of service,
Combined with strict, affordable,
flexible and high quality homes,
has been well-received in
Castlegar.

“The manufactured home: mar-
ket is very good in this area. The
fesponse to our product has been
excellent,” said Ray Gedak, man-
ager of Cal West.

Gedak explained that people
are choosing manufactured
homes because of their afford-
ability and convenience. Units
manufactured in British
Columbia range in price from
$48,000 to $70,000.

The industry itself has under-
gone significant change, innova-
tion and improvement in design
and construction. No longer could
one of these homes be referred to
as a ‘trailer’.

There is now a wide selec-
tion of designs available,
beyond the traditional ‘single-
wide’ models. Most design
innovations, such as high
pitched roofs, bay windows, are
now quite common. Interior
decorating is also top of the
line: thermal pane windows,
sky-lights, plush carpets, con-
temporary linoleum, and
sunken living rooms have creat-
ed an entire new way of view-
ing the manufactured home.

“Jacuzzi tubs and microwave
ranges are also available,” said
Gedak.

The manufactured home has
some advantages over site-built
housing in terms of quality con-
trol. The factory environment
lend itself readily to close moni-
toring of quality. And, because
homes are built inside the factory,
they are never exposed to weather
than can damage component
materials.

Cal West has a wide variety of
show homes for customers’

|. The full range of prod-
ucts include everything from
‘economy to deluxe models.

The friendly staff at Cal
West has a wealth of experi-
ence in the manufactured home
business. Look for Dennis
Goetting, Wayne Postnikoff,
Bud Englesby and of course,
Ray Gedak if you feel a manu-
factured home is for you, Cal
West is located in the Castlegar
Industrial park, next to United
Buy and Sell.
