  • Yes! In many Oregon counties, tiny homes are commonly used as ADUs, providing homeowners with the opportunity to generate rental income. Portland also offers benefits like the System Development Charges (SDC) Waiver, making it an even more cost-effective solution for adding an ADU to your property.

  • The base price includes the home itself, standard interior and exterior finishes, and basic utility connections like electrical and plumbing setup.

    Any additional customization, premium features, site preparation, or connections to utility services will be quoted separately.

  • Absolutely! We offer a wide range of customization options to fit your preferences, from flooring to countertops to hardware. You can personalize your tiny home’s interior and exterior finishes to suit your lifestyle and taste.

  • Building and delivery timelines depend on the model and customization options. Typically, it takes 6-10 weeks to build a tiny home, with delivery and setup usually occurring within 1-4 weeks after completion, depending on location and site conditions.

  • Yes, financing options are available for tiny homes! Many lenders offer specific tiny home loans, often with options like no-money-down financing, low interest rates, and flexible payment terms. We can help connect you with lenders that specialize in tiny home financing. Learn more about common financing options in our Financing Overview.

  • For the home to be delivered and placed securely, the site must be level and accessible. You'll need a stable foundation (such as a rock pad or cement slab) and utilities (water, electricity, and sewage) ready for connection. We can provide site preparation services or guide you through the DIY process.

  • The foundation requirements depend on your property and local regulations. Most tiny homes are placed on a cement slab, block foundation, or rock pad. For tiny homes on wheels, hurricane ties and skirting are typically added for security and aesthetics. Our team can help guide you through selecting the best option for your site.

  • We handle the logistics of delivering your tiny home to your site. Standard shipping costs are separate through the delivery company that we can help setup. If your site has difficult access or requires specialized equipment (like a skid-steer), additional fees may apply.

  • Our homes are manufactured locally in Woodburn, Oregon.

  • Yes, every tiny home comes with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty on all appliances, along with a 60-day drywall warranty for any minor damage that may occur during delivery or setup. We also offer extended warranty options for additional peace of mind.

  • Yes, depending on the model. Park model tiny homes are designed to be semi-mobile, meaning they can be moved but may require a professional mover and additional setup at a new site. For those looking for a more flexible solution, fully mobile tiny homes can be relocated with relative ease. Let us know your long-term plans, and we can help determine the best home for your needs.

  • Park Model Tiny Homes

    Park model homes are built to ANSI 119.5 standards and limited to 400 square feet of interior living space, making them ideal for backyard ADUs, vacation properties, or small primary residences. Though technically mobile, they’re meant to stay in place long-term with full utility hookups. These homes emphasize custom design, modern finishes, and efficiency—perfect for Portland’s eco-conscious and space-savvy buyers.

    Manufactured Homes

    Manufactured homes are built to federal HUD standards and designed for permanent, full-time living. They range in size from compact to spacious multi-section layouts and are delivered to mobile home parks or private land. These homes qualify for traditional financing and offer a more conventional housing solution, often with lower cost per square foot than site-built alternatives.

  • We are focused on providing quality, energy efficient homes for the modern-day homebuyer. Our builders use smarter building methods and more energy efficient materials to save money and to reduce the impact on the environment. This also helps you save you money on your new home and on utility costs once you move in.
