What is a tiny home?
Technically, a tiny home is any house measuring under 400 square feet.
Many tiny homes are built on trailers so they can be towed anywhere, and some are converted from old school buses or vans.
Each state has its own rules about tiny homes, but, generally, they are not subject to the same taxes as regular homes.
However, Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Wisconsin, and West Virginia have made tiny homes illegal as permanent dwellings.
The panelized steel frame system won’t require any welding, as all the parts are clearly labelled.
However, if you would like to customize or modify your tiny home, just contact Well Done 1 Homes.
It’s also important to check with your local building department to assess permit fees and safety requirements to make sure they comply with size requirements, setbacks and height restrictions.
Lastly, the return policy.
Once you place an order, Well Done 1 Home Kits will confirm your requirements.
After this, you cannot cancel or modify your frame kit order.
But you should contact the store if you have any questions.
