Why Choose Contemporary Tiny Homes?
At Contemporary Tiny Homes, our mission is simple: to provide a seamless, stress-free experience for our clients by managing every step of the construction process. From the initial design phase to the final walkthrough, our team of experts ensures that your project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
We take pride in delivering high-quality tiny homes designed for long-term living. Unlike prefab or modular options, every home we build is unique, crafted to your specifications, and built to suit your property’s specific requirements. And because we’re a full-service construction company, we handle everything—permits, materials, inspections, and more—so you don’t have to. The result is a home that feels like your own from day one, without any of the headaches that usually come with construction.
What Sets Us Apart
Full-service Construction: We manage every detail, from zoning to design and building, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Locally Sourced Expertise: Our team is rooted in the local community. We work with local professionals and ensure your project complies with local building codes.
Built to Last: Our tiny homes and ADUs are more than just temporary structures. They are custom-built homes designed to provide comfort, functionality, and long-term value.
