So what makes a Momo a Momo?

January 13, 2026

Quality. Durability. Resilience. Stability.

In other words, Momo homes are designed better and built better so they feel better to live in. 

Which sounds good. But what does it mean exactly?

Let’s take a closer look.

Foundation: Built to last up to 400 years

Our 100 percent steel footings system works like a tree’s deep root network, securely connecting the foundation to the earth while resisting gravity, uplift, shear, and moment loads. The system is rated to seismic category D, the “high hazard” level of coastal California construction. Expected life of the system? Up to 400 years.

Frame: Hurricane-ready

Steel framing is entirely fire-resistant, mold- and pest-resistant, and is 100 percent recyclable. This means all our homes meet top green-building standards. Our homes are built to Miami-Dade wind standards (able to withstand gusts of up to 185 mph).

Roof: 10-foot snow loads? No problem

Steel here, too. Unlike traditional roofing materials, steel won’t warp or sag. While our steel roofs are lightweight, they’re also highly durable — lasting more than twice as long as composite-shingle roofs. And because they’re chemical-free, recyclable, and virtually maintenance-free, they’re a sustainable choice. Our roofs are designed for snow loads up to 100 lbs. per square foot (that’s about 10 feet of average, settled snow).

Cladding: You’ll never have to paint again

Fiber cement board is a low-maintenance product that won’t warp, crack, or fade. Due to its weather- and moisture-resistance, it helps prevent mold, swelling and rot. Fiber cement board is durable against fire, water, and extreme weather conditions, and virtually impenetrable to pests. Plus, it’s durable, lasting 50 or more years. You’ll never have to paint again.

Heating and cooling: Save energy, stay comfy

Every Momo home is engineered for energy efficiency, from insulation to appliances. We use a high-performance Bosch heat pump and Rheem hot water heater. A smart ComfortLink thermostat tailors temperature and humidity settings, so you save energy without sacrificing comfort.

Fully electric: Never pay another energy bill

Momo homes are fully electric, which affords high efficiency and a low carbon footprint. In fact, a fully electrified home with high-quality appliances dramatically reduces, or can even eliminate, electricity bills. Fully electric homes offer resilience and peace of mind during blackouts, as well as letting you take full control of your energy future, without relying on the grid. 

  • SPAN smart panel: Full control over energy use. All Momo homes come with a SPAN smart panel, facilitating full control over your electrical usage. 
  • Solar panels: Real-time insights. We use high-efficiency tier 1 solar panels from brands like REC, Silfab and Q-Cell, paired with Enphase microinverters, capturing and optimizing sunlight, panel by panel. Everything is easily managed through the Enphase Enlighten app, giving you real-time insights, usage reports, and full control at your fingertips.
  • Battery backup: Power during outages. Any surplus energy is stored in the Franklin Whole Home battery system, ensuring power is always available, even during outages. Each battery is 15 kWh and is an entirely modular system, allowing you to add as much storage as you’d like.
  • EV charging: Charge when it’s cheapest. The SPAN smart panel provides a clear view of your home’s power flow, and EV-ready wiring means your electric vehicle can run entirely on solar energy. We offer the SPAN level 2 EV charger that integrates with the SPAN smart electrical panel, allowing you to use excess solar to charge your EV and charge when it’s cheapest. 

Extras: The beauty is in the details

Every Momo model offers: nine-foot ceilings, solid-core doors, heated towel racks, and aluminum window frames. Plus: fully assembled, custom made-to-order cabinetry designed to last a lifetime.

The Momo Max package includes Bosch appliances and heated floors.

Single-family-home models include laundry rooms, full-size primary bathrooms, and walk-in closets.
