FAQ
-
Do you allow tours?Because we are a very busy working warehouse and construction site, we reserve tours for when we have open house events. We announce our open house dates on our social media pages. (Facebook and Instagram) Make sure to follow us for our next announcement.

I want a Tiny Home, where do I start?Here is our suggestion: 1. Find a place to park. Whether it is a tiny home community, RV park, or your own land. The ordinances will vary from city to city and county to county. Make sure you know what is allowed. 2. Know your budget. Figure out a realistic budget that will allow you to build a tiny home that will fit your needs. 3. Financing. This tends to be difficult and is not a traditional mortgage. Take a look at our financing page for what we offer. 4. Visit tiny home shows, festivals, builders, and make sure to read reviews to help you pick a builder that will best fit your needs.

What is the price of a Movable Roots Tiny Home?We are often asked for pricing information. Being a complete custom tiny home builder, pricing depends on the size as well as the fit and finishes placed within the tiny home. Our finished turnkey homes vary from $100,000 to $200,000. More in some cases. Check out our custom build page for examples of our work.
-
Can I finance a Movable Roots Tiny Home?Yes, we offer financing options for our Park Model RVs and Modular Homes. Park Model RVs can be financed through 21st Mortgage. Modular Homes can be financed similarly to traditional homes. At the moment, financing for Tiny Homes on Wheels is on hold. However, you can explore personal loan options through LightStream and SoFi as alternatives for Tiny Homes on Wheels.

How does the customization process work?Movable Roots uses quality materials and craftmanship that will have your tiny home lasting for generations. We work directly with you to design and build a tiny home that fits your specifc needs and is unique to you. There is a fee associated with the design process. We work with you directly to learn your likes, dislikes, and must-have options for your tiny home. A 2 dimensional floorplan of the width and length of your home with cabinets, furniture and beds all factored in. Once the floorplans have been approved, we work on 3D renderings or realistic views of what your homes will look like once complete. Build contract, this is where we finalize the price of your home to your budget. Start your home!
-
How long does the build process take?Once your build has started it takes about 16-20 weeks to finish. Currently we have a full build schedule for 2022 and are taking orders for early 2023. Contact us today to reserve your spot.
-
Where can I park a tiny home?Many people want to own their own land but this tends to be one of the more difficult options. We encourage you to contact your local zoning and building officials in the city or county that you would like to live in to see if they one, allow tiny homes on wheels and secondly if there are any square footage requirements. We also encourage you to check different forums, like on Facebook, that will have information on communities in your area. RV parks are becoming increasingly tiny home friendly. Often times it just takes a phone call to see if they will allow a tiny home.
-
How does electricity work?If you are not off grid you will need to be plugged into the grid through a provided 50 amp cord that will power your house. There are multiple off-grid options that are available to upgrade to.
-
Will I need sewer or septic?Yes, for your black water you will need access to sewer or septic. However, we offer multiple different upgradable toilet options like the Separett composting toilet and the Incinolet incinerating toilet which do not require you to be connected to a sewer or septic.
