Service & Installation
At NW Tiny Homes, we strive to make the home-buying experience as seamless as possible. We know that purchasing a tiny home is a significant decision, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. From delivery logistics to site preparation, we provide the support you need to get your new home set up efficiently and safely. Our goal is to ensure you have a smooth experience, whether you prefer to manage the process yourself or need professional assistance.
Production & Lead Time
The timeline for building your tiny home can vary based on design complexity and availability of materials. While production timelines may fluctuate, most homes are completed in an average of 8 to 12 weeks after the final contract is signed & deposit is paid.
Custom Models: If you have specific changes beyond the standard customization options, the build time may extend slightly to accommodate special orders and finishes.
Pre-Designed Models: Standard models typically have a shorter production time, making them a quicker option for those looking to move in sooner.
We’ll keep you updated on the progress throughout the production process to ensure everything is on track.
Delivery
While we do not include shipping in our base prices, we can recommend experienced carriers to deliver your tiny home safely and efficiently. Whether you’re moving your tiny home a short distance or across the state, we’ll help coordinate with the best professionals to ensure a smooth delivery.
Shipping Recommendations: We’ll connect you with a network of experienced shipping carriers who specialize in transporting tiny homes.
Lead Time for Delivery: Delivery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks from the date of home completion, depending on factors like location, access, and scheduling. We can schedule the delivery date based on your availability, and we will do what we can to ensure it is on the fastest timeline.
Basic Repairs Covered: Any minor damage during transportation will be covered by our basic repair policy to ensure your home arrives in excellent condition.
Note: Make sure your property has adequate road access for delivery trucks, especially in rural or wooded areas. If needed, we can recommend contractors to assist with road preparation or site access.
Site Preparation
Proper site preparation is critical to ensure your tiny home is safely installed on your property. You can choose to handle this on your own or we can connect you with our network of contractors for professional help with site prep.
Site Prep Considerations: Before delivery, your site needs to be accessible and prepared with a solid, level foundation. This may include clearing driveways, preparing a rock pad or cement foundation, and ensuring utilities are ready for connection.
Optional Site Prep Services: We can assist in prepping your property with licensed professionals who specialize in excavating, foundation setup, and utility hookups.
Using Friends’ or Family Property: If you’re placing the home on a friend or family member’s land, we’ll provide guidance to make sure the site complies with local zoning and safety requirements.
DIY Site Prep? If you prefer to prepare the site yourself, we’re happy to provide resources and support to ensure your home is placed securely.
Installation & Home Setup
Once your home is delivered, the next step is the full installation and setup process. This typically includes placing and leveling the home on blocks or piers, securing it in place, and connecting all utilities such as electric, water, sewer, and gas.
Our team does not perform or oversee installation, but we are happy to connect you with trusted, licensed contractors who specialize in park model setup. These professionals can handle:
Setting and leveling the home on blocks or piers
Anchoring and securing the home according to code
Connecting electric, water, sewer, and gas lines
Installing stairs, landings, skirting, and gutters if desired
Verifying that all systems are properly connected and operational
We’ll work with you and your chosen contractor to make sure your delivery and site preparation are coordinated for a smooth setup experience.
