I signed up with Contemporary Tiny Homes knowing they were still a newer company, but their sales and marketing really drew me in. I originally contacted them because there are not many companies in our area specializing in ADUs, especially since ADUs are still such a growing and developing market locally. The project started with town permitting, which took a reasonable amount of time. Before groundbreaking even began, I was transferred from my original project manager, Mark, to Ian. After that, the foundation and trenching ended up being much more time-consuming than expected. Framing then began, but there were additional delays, and eventually I was transferred again from Ian to Wyatt, and then from Wyatt to Julia. That is when things really started getting back on track. Once Julia took over, framing got back on track, HVAC scheduling got back on track, and she truly went above and beyond to make sure we had no further delays moving forward. She also got insulation back on track by personally meeting with the insulation contractors and getting someone scheduled in right away so the project could continue moving forward without additional delays. There were multiple moments where her dedication stood out. For example, when the roofing contractor was scheduled to arrive at 7:00 AM, Julia was personally at my house the night before at 11:00 PM delivering shingles to help keep the project moving. Julia was incredibly helpful throughout the entire selection process as well. She provided detailed guidance and options for cabinets, countertops, bathroom vanities, tile, flooring, doors, hardware, and finish selections. She gave excellent insight into both design choices and price points, helping me understand where I could upgrade while still keeping everything cost-effective. She was also extremely thorough when explaining change orders and always made sure I understood my options. Communication was one of the biggest improvements once Julia became involved. She constantly kept me updated, was present on-site most days throughout the week, and genuinely cared about making sure the project stayed on track and was completed properly. The project definitely had a rough start, but I am very happy with the finished product and the level of detail in the final outcome. I am now fully moved into my home and happy with the results.

I had a fantastic experience working with the team at Contemporary Tiny Homes. Their expertise in the Connecticut ADU space is unmatched. From start to finish, they were professional, transparent, and incredibly knowledgeable about the zoning and building process. If you are looking for a high-quality ADU builder, I highly recommend them! The attention to detail, smart use of space, and beautiful modern finishes make every home feel both functional and inviting. You can tell that a lot of thought and care goes into every build, and it definitely shows in the final product. Beyond the homes themselves, the team is fantastic to work with. They're professional, passionate about what they do, and genuinely committed to delivering a great experience for their clients. It's always exciting to photograph their finished projects because they consistently create spaces that look incredible and are built to last. I highly recommend Contemporary Tiny Homes to anyone looking for a high-quality tiny home from a company that truly takes pride in its work.

I feel it’s helpful to share an honest and balanced perspective for anyone considering working with them. I went in eyes wide-open that is was a new, untested, and unproven company. I understood the inherent risk in this. My experience at the start of the project was challenging. There were issues with misrepresentation, mismanagement, and frequent miscommunication. The project went through multiple project managers in a short period of time, which made it difficult to maintain continuity and progress. During those early months, much of the forward momentum came from my own efforts to stay organized and keep things moving. That said, the trajectory of the project improved significantly once Julia Henry took over as Project Manager. Her leadership brought much-needed stability, clear communication, and accountability. After she stepped in, we finally saw consistent progress. This 5-star review is for her. She made herself available day/night, and responded to questions and concerns immediately and professionally. When a significant issue was identified, she was able to get resolution within a week, and get us back on track. Her thoughtful input and advice was much appreciated throughout. I want others to be aware that this process can take a long time. Do not go in expecting this to be a "6-month" process as advertised. I work in the industry a little, and knew this timeline was wishful thinking. We signed the contract in February. There was a notable lag between the rendering and the plans submitted for permit. Construction began in late summer, with framing and siding completed by late October. Interior work was carried out in January, and the home was ultimately completed late the following February. While the early stages were frustrating, I do want to recognize the turnaround under Julia’s management and the quality of the final outcome. For future clients, I would encourage asking detailed questions about project management structure, understanding their process, and communication expectations upfront. I truly believe that my experience and lessons learned will benefit future clients and customers. The process has improved significantly throughout the project, and I can see that others signing on will have a much better experience for it. Overall, this was a mixed experience—one that required patience and persistence, but ultimately resulted in a completed home that we love. Seven months from breaking ground is a realistic timeframe for a build of this size, and we are ultimately satisfied with the experience. I would gladly recommend the company for your tiny home build, but as with all home construction processes, do your due diligence and pay attention to the details.
