Question 1

What types of tiny houses do you build?

Accepted Answer

We build custom tiny houses on skid foundations and park model tiny homes. Our sizes range from 16' to 40' in length, with various widths available. We use specialized tilting trailers for transport and placement. We specialize in both single-loft and double-loft designs, studio layouts, and family-friendly configurations with full kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.

Question 2

How long does it take to build a tiny house?

Accepted Answer

Construction time varies by size and complexity. Most tiny houses take 8-16 weeks from start to finish once design is finalized. Simple studio models may take 6-8 weeks, while complex custom builds with high-end finishes can take 16-20 weeks. Weather and material availability can affect timelines.

Question 3

Do you build to code and provide warranties?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All our tiny houses are built to Oklahoma building codes and RVIA standards where applicable. We provide a 1-year structural warranty and comprehensive documentation for inspections. Our builds meet or exceed industry standards for safety, durability, and craftsmanship.

Question 4

Can you customize an existing model design?

Absolutely! While we have several popular models, most of our builds are customized. We can modify layouts, upgrade materials, change exterior colors, add features, or create something completely unique. Our design process starts with your needs and vision.

Question 5

What's included in the base price of a tiny house?

Our tiny houses typically range from $45,000 to $200,000+ depending on size, features, and finishes. Basic studio models start around $45,000, while fully-loaded family homes with premium finishes and custom features can reach $200,000 or more. We provide detailed quotes for every project.

Question 7

What financing options do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We work with several lenders who specialize in chattel loans for tiny houses. These are personal property loans similar to RV financing, typically offering 10-20 year terms with competitive rates. We can help connect you with approved lenders and provide all necessary documentation.

Question 8

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we require a 25% deposit to begin construction, with progress payments throughout the build. Typical payment schedule: 25% to start, 25% at rough-in completion, 25% at substantial completion, and final 25% at delivery. We can work with your financing timeline.

Question 9

Are there any additional costs I should plan for?

Accepted Answer

Beyond the house cost, consider delivery fees ($2-5 per mile), site preparation, utility connections, permits, and insurance. If you're planning to live in it full-time, budget for land rental or purchase. We provide a comprehensive checklist during consultation.

Question 10

Do you offer payment plans for those without financing?

Accepted Answer

We can work with qualified buyers on extended payment schedules in some cases. This typically requires a larger down payment (40-50%) and completion within 6 months. Each situation is evaluated individually based on credit and circumstances.

Question 11

Where do you deliver tiny houses?

Accepted Answer

We deliver throughout Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, and Missouri. For deliveries beyond 200 miles from our shop, additional fees apply. We coordinate with local crane services and utility companies to ensure smooth placement at your site.

Question 12

What do I need to prepare for delivery?

Accepted Answer

Your site needs level ground, utility access points marked, and clear access for our delivery truck and crane. Minimum 14' width clearance and 20' overhead clearance is required. We provide a detailed site preparation checklist after contracting.

Question 13

Can you help with site setup and utilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We can coordinate site preparation, utility connections, and local permit requirements. While we don't install utilities directly, we work with trusted local contractors and can oversee the entire process for turnkey delivery.

Question 14

What if there are access issues at my property?

Accepted Answer

We conduct site visits for challenging deliveries to plan the best approach. Options include using smaller cranes, temporary road improvements, or in rare cases, finishing construction on-site. Most access issues can be solved with proper planning.

Question 15

Do you provide setup and walkthrough after delivery?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our delivery includes full setup, utility connection assistance, and a comprehensive walkthrough. We'll show you all systems, maintenance requirements, and provide owner's manuals. We're available for questions during your first month.

Question 16

Where can I legally place a tiny house?

Accepted Answer

Tiny house placement depends on local zoning laws. Many areas allow them as ADUs (accessory dwelling units), in RV parks, or on private land with proper permits. We help research local regulations and can connect you with zoning consultants familiar with tiny house laws.

Question 17

Can I live in a tiny house full-time?

Accepted Answer

Tiny house insurance is available through several carriers who specialize in mobile/manufactured homes. Coverage typically includes structure, contents, and liability. Costs range from $300-800 annually depending on value and location. We provide guidance on insurance requirements.

Question 19

Do tiny houses require special permits?

Accepted Answer

Permit requirements vary by location and intended use. Permanent installations typically require building permits, while mobile tiny houses may need RV permits or special use permits. We help navigate local requirements and provide all necessary documentation.

Question 20

What utilities can tiny houses support?

Accepted Answer

Our tiny houses support full utility connections: electricity (30 or 50 amp), water, sewer, propane, internet, and cable TV. We can also design for off-grid living with solar power, composting toilets, and water storage systems. Most clients choose grid-connected for convenience.
