The Best Tiny House Companies

There’s an incredible amount of overlap between the RVing and tiny house communities, and many tiny house enthusiasts subscribe to the Herald for exactly the same reason RV owners do: Finding land that will work for them long-term.

It’s been fun to watch the tiny house industry grow so rapidly. But the explosion in popularity has unfortunately given rise to… shall we say… “less than reputable” tiny house builders, designers, and so-called experts.

Here are a few of the tiny house companies we trust completely.

Builders

Craftsman Tiny Homes

This Florida-based manufacturer ships all over the U.S. and has earned a reputation for high quality builds. They have five models, ranging from tiny houses on wheels to full ADUs, and they offer custom construction as well.

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company

One of the pioneers of the modern tiny house movement and perhaps the most recognizable brand in the space. They offer four preconfigured “Certified Green” models and, like Craftsman Tiny Homes above, offer custom builds as well.

Building Plans

The Tiny Project

Founded by tiny house pioneer Alek Lisefski, The Tiny Project is a respected resource for DIY builders and tiny living enthusiasts. The site offers detailed building plans and resources based on Alek’s firsthand experience.

Texas Tiny Homes

This company specializes in very detailed construction plans for builders looking to create their own tiny homes. Their plans feature exceptionally detailed layouts, material specifications, renders, and practical guidance.

Container Home Builder

Utopia Containers

We can’t forget container homes, and one company stands out from the pack. Utopia Containers specializes in modern shipping container homes designed for efficient, flexible, and sustainable living. They offer full builds as well as DIY building plans, or they’ll take custom work to bring your vision to life.

General Research and Guides

Tiny Home Builders

Tiny Home Builders is part tiny house marketplace, part land marketplace, and part learning resource. The educational side of the business is the best in the industry, featuring articles, workshops (both online and in-person), full design plans, and more.
