Be Informed.
"What is a tiny home?"
Tiny Home is a catch-all term for any small structure. There is more than 'one type' of tiny home which is where the problem lies. Why is this problematic? Your town, your insurance company, and your bank need to know what type of tiny home you have. If you can't define your tiny home type, you may receive incorrect information, coverage, and financing, leading to larger issues. So, be informed about the different style of tiny homes out there and learn what kind we offer.​

Find Land.
"Where can I put my home?"
Figuring out where to place a tiny home, either temporarily for travel or permanently on your own land, can feel overwhelming. Understanding that there are RV parks, communities, land rental options, and land ownership opportunities is the first step. Use the helpful databases below to find land and use our Tiny Home Guide to prepare yourself when speaking with your town.
Talk with Your Town
Use our Tiny With Your Town guide. After answering a couple of quick questions, we will help you write a detailed email to your town.
Search through these helpful databases to find land for rent, communities to live in, and other parking opportunities.
Site Prep
"What does my land need?"
Before your tiny home is delivered, your land has to be prepared to have a parking pad, utility sources, and accessibility for the transporter. Look through our FAQ to learn about these items and use the parking pad size calculator to determine your home sizing needs.

Q: What do I park on?
A: We require that your tiny home be parked on a compacted gravel pad or pad with asphalt/cement. You're responsible for setting up your pad. Need to know the size? Use our free size calculator.
Q: Who sets up the utilities?
A: We provide all utility receivers, directly installed onto your tiny home. You are responsible for providing the source for your electric, water, sewer, and gas connections on your land. View our utility page for more information.
Q: What about low bridges?
A​: We need space to deliver your tiny home. Your land and access road must have a height clearance of 14-ft+ so that your home fits under bridges, overhead wires, branches, and other obstacles. Additionally, your access road and land must have a width clearance of 11-ft+ for our standard width homes. For our extra wide 10-ft homes, you must have 12-ft+ of width clearance.
Q: Do you build on site?
A: No, we do not build directly on your land. Your tiny home will be constructed inside our warehouse in Hampstead, NH and it will be permanently affixed to a trailer. Once construction is finished, we will transport your tiny home using the attached trailer, similar to how a RV trailer is moved. When we arrive at your land we will detach your tiny home from the transport vehicle, place your home on your parking pad, and then rough-level the home. The trailer stays with the tiny home and cannot be removed. Though, the tires can be removed after transit should you decide to.
Tiny House Prep
"What does my house need?"
Before your tiny home is delivered, you will need to purchase certain tiny home accessories in order to be fully prepared for delivery. While we provide quite a lot, every house and land setup is different. Look through our Resource Guide to learn about which accessories you may need for your home.

Q: What are jacks?
A: Jacks are supports for your tiny home that provide safety and stability when you're parked. Your tiny home will come with a minimum of (4) welded swivel trailer jack feet, one on each corner, and (1) welded tongue jack foot. For longer tiny homes, your trailer will have (2) additional welded scissor jacks.These jacks can be used to level your home and provide temporary stability and safety for your home. If you're planning to park more permanently, you will need additional jack supports that we do not provide. We recommend either pressure treated wood blocking or jack stands.
Q: Who provides my stairs?
A: We do! Your tiny home will come with a set of detached exterior entry stairs. These stairs will have a handrail and they will be set up for you during your tiny home delivery. Your exterior entry stairs are moveable. So, if you plan to build yourself a large detached entry porch, you can move your stairs to be combined with your addition.
Q: What about skirting?
A​: We do not provide tiny home skirting as an option. Please note that the floor of your tiny home is over-insulated to compensate for open air under the home. If you would like to skirt your tiny home, you are required to either fabricate your own or hire a local contractor. We recommend contacting The Tiny Home Skirting Company for more information.
Q: What else do I need?
A: Your tiny home will come with a hitch lock or removable hitch for safety. You will be responsible for protecting your trailer tires from UV damage. We recommend either removing your tires, skirting your tires, or purchasing/installing tire covers. Your tiny home will come with d-ring attachments in the corners of your trailer that can be used for future strapping attachments. If you need to add mobile home earth anchors, to adhere your home to the earth, you are required to provide/install your own strapping and earth anchors.
Delivery
"How does delivery work?"
We are responsible for setting up your tiny home delivery from our location in Hampstead, NH to yours. Our team accompanies your home and meets you at your land to make the process stress-free. Though, you're welcome to pick up your tiny home from our location. Look through our FAQ to learn different delivery questions and use the delivery cost estimator to determine if your delivery cost is already included or if it may be an additional fee.
Q: How much is delivery?
A: Delivery may or may not be an additional fee. Use our delivery cost estimator to see how much we anticipate your tiny home delivery will cost. Please note that this is an estimate only and should only be used for budgetary purposes. This is not a certified quote. Weather, terrain difficulty, and other factors can impact cost. We offer free delivery to clients that have a delivery address within 150-miles of our location in Hampstead, NH. To qualify for free delivery, the 150 miles is calculated by drivable delivery route, not "as the crow flies". Free delivery is not applicable if watercraft crossing is required. Free delivery is for 8.5-ft wide turnkey tiny homes only, not 10-ft wide or shells. Parking location must be accessible without specialized equipment.
Q: Who delivers my home?
A: We coordinate your tiny home delivery with licensed, bonded, and insured transporters who are vetted by our team. If you choose to have us deliver your tiny home, our team will accompany your home to your land with the delivery process. Though, you are welcome to pick up your home from us or coordinate your own delivery should you choose to.
Q: Where do you deliver to?
A​: We coordinate tiny home delivery to anywhere it is accessible and feasible for a tiny home to be transported to. We deliver to all 48 lower states of the USA but we are open to working with clients in HI, AK, and outside of the USA.
