Tiny homes are more than just a place to live; they're a lifestyle choice that embodies simplicity, mobility, and sustainability. When considering whether to build a tiny home yourself or invest in a professionally built model, there are compelling reasons to choose a custom builder like Movable Roots. Here's why our professionally crafted tiny homes on wheels and park model homes are a smarter investment compared to DIY builds:
1. Expert Craftsmanship
At Movable Roots, we pride ourselves on the expertise of our team. We employ professional tradespeople and craftsmen with extensive experience in their fields. This level of skill ensures that every aspect of construction, from framing to finishing touches, is executed with precision and care, surpassing what most DIY builds can achieve.
2. Professional Workspace
Unlike DIY builders who often work in makeshift spaces, Movable Roots operates out of a fully equipped warehouse. This setup allows us to utilize advanced tools and technologies that enhance the precision and efficiency of our building process. A controlled environment also protects against weather-related damages and provides a safe space for our craftsmen to work, ensuring consistency and quality in every home we build.
3. Certifications and Compliance
Every Movable Roots tiny home is built to exacting standards and complies with rigorous regulations, which are often required for residence in tiny home communities and crucial for obtaining financing and insurance. Additionally, our homes are certified by Pacific West Associates, ensuring they meet all necessary codes and standards. During construction, both the home and our craftsmen are fully insured, protecting against any unforeseen circumstances and providing peace of mind to our clients.
4. Durability and Safety
Professionally built tiny homes are designed to withstand both the rigors of travel and the test of time. Movable Roots uses high-quality materials and construction methods that ensure each home is not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound and well-insulated against various climates.
5. Insurance and Warranties
Obtaining insurance for a DIY tiny home can be complex, as insurers often view them as higher-risk. Movable Roots homes, however, come with all necessary documentation and build quality that insurers trust, often facilitating the insurance process. We also offer warranties on our homes, providing additional security and peace of mind that DIY projects simply can’t match.
6. Customization Without Compromise
While DIY projects allow for a degree of customization, they often require compromises on design or functionality due to limitations in skills, tools, or materials. At Movable Roots, we work closely with our clients to tailor each home to their specific needs and preferences without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
7. Time and Effort
Building a tiny home is a significant undertaking that requires a lot of time, effort, and patience. For those who value their time and wish to avoid the steep learning curve and potential setbacks of a DIY build, choosing a professionally built tiny home is a logical choice. With Movable Roots, you can transition into your new lifestyle quickly and smoothly, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of tiny living without the hassle.
Though the initial cost of a professionally built tiny home from Movable Roots may be higher than a DIY project, the long-term benefits—durability, compliance, warranties, and unmatched craftsmanship—offer tremendous value. Investing in a Movable Roots home means choosing a life of quality, safety, and satisfaction, all backed by professional expertise and care.
Choosing Movable Roots means investing in a lifestyle that moves with you, built with integrity and unparalleled craftsmanship. For those ready to embrace tiny living, professional craftsmanship is a decision that ensures comfort, safety, and enduring satisfaction.
