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.

Bob Small
Director of Construction Services
I feel fortunate to bring a lifetime of experience and a genuine passion for building homes that truly matter. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in real estate, land development, and construction, I was immersed in the industry from a young age. At just 12 years old, I spent my summers working as a framing carpenter, gaining a hands-on understanding of the trade that shaped my career. By the time I turned 25, I had stepped into leadership roles, managing the construction of a 150-unit condominium complex while contributing to hundreds of additional housing units.
In 2015, I launched my own design-build remodeling and custom home business, using 3D CAD technology to give clients a clear vision of their projects before construction began. Seeing their excitement and trust grow during the process was incredibly rewarding.
Over the years, I’ve also developed a specialty in energy conservation, helping optimize homes and commercial buildings for greater efficiency.
At Contemporary Tiny Homes, I’m excited to combine my knowledge, craftsmanship, and innovative approach to create ADUs that exceed expectations. I’m committed to ensuring every project is built with care and quality, providing families with spaces they’ll love for years to come.

When I’m not on the job site, you’ll often find me tinkering with cars, exploring the latest automotive trends, or whipping up delicious meals in the kitchen. Fitness is also a big part of my life—I enjoy staying active, whether it’s hitting the gym or enjoying outdoor activities. One of my biggest dreams is earning a private pilot’s license, and I’m fully committed to mastering the skills needed to explore the skies.
