Yes, feel free to swing in and check it out, in some instances you will not be able to go inside (painting, insulation, etc) but you are free to look around. If you want to know more about bibs insulation, check out our blog.

We currently offer 6 floorplans, ranging in size from 300 to 616 sq. ft. The smallest, a Model B, is 10′ x 30′ and features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The Model C is also a single bed and bath, but offers additional living space. It is 400 sq ft and 10′ x 40′ in length. We also offer a wider one bedroom model, the Model G, which is 448 sq ft with dimensions of 14′ x 32′. The Models E and F are available in 2 – 616 square foot layouts, both featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Both the Model E and F are 14′ x 44′ long. Lastly, we now offer a duplex, which would be considered two additional dwelling units. It is 14′ x 44′ and has two separate studio units, each about 300 sq. ft.

Absolutely! Our model B and C both offer loft space. Lofts are an excellent way to add additional storage space to a small home. Though our lofts aren’t rated for sleeping, they are offered in a variety of depths and dimensions.

To save space, we attach the tankless water heater, condenser unit for the mini-split (heat and a/c), and the electrical box on the outside of the home.

Exterior Utilities

A mini split is a ductless heat and air conditioning system. They are highly efficient, and one unit comes standard in the living room/kitchen area in every Wolf home. A/C standard! We attach the condenser unit to the outside of the home to save space.

Yes. We offer the slanted shed roof on all models.

Either roof design can be chosen on any of our models.

There is a small cost difference between them, which depends on which model you choose.

Appliances are not included in the cost you see for the structure, simply because not everyone wants/needs appliances. We have an appliance package we can sell you, or you can buy them individually from us. Our package includes all stainless steel in the kitchen – Fridge, Gas Stove, Microhood, Dishwasher, and white full-sized front load Washer & Dryer that we stack to save space.

Our homes use either gas or propane for the tankless water heater and the gas stove. If you don’t want gas for either of these items, just let us know. We can switch to a standard full-sized water heater but it would need to be placed inside a closet as opposed to the tankless being attached to the outside of the home. We can also change the stove connection to electric, we would just need to know that too; however, we don’t have an electric option to sell you. The electric stove would just be installed later by you or the company you buy it from.

We stick with our base models which include everything except the appliances and deck. We like to say that without all the counters and bathroom facilities, it’s like trying to un-bake a cake. Typically, L&I will not approve a shell home, prohibiting them from being permittable as a dwelling.

The production lead time fluctuates based on issued permits. When your permits are issued, you jump the line to production!

The production process itself only takes 4 to 5 weeks through the shop. Site work and delivery & setup are an addition month and a half to two months. So, the whole build process from production start date to key hand-off ranges from 3-4 months. Getting to your production date fluctuates for each project based on how quickly your jurisdiction returns permits. But once permits are ready, things happen quickly!

We also have to factor in the existing backlog so check in with us to see where we’re at!

If you are looking for a larger deck, ask us to add just the deck ledger to your house. Then you can add a larger deck after delivery.

Larger Deck Ledger Example

The standard eave overhang on a tiny house is 9″. You can add soffit lights for a nice touch!

Our wind load speed is 145 mph, category B. This typically covers all locations where we place homes throughout OR/WA.

The seismic load for our tiny homes is category D. Seismic load is one of the basic concepts of earthquake engineering which means application of an earthquake -generated agitation to a building structure. The west coast is considered active for seismic activity, so this Category D rating covers all requirements for categories A – D.

These requirements/categories cover most jurisdiction requirements throughout Oregon and Washington.

The snow load on our homes is 30# psf, which complies with building code throughout OR/WA. This can be adjusted to a higher rating if the jurisdiction requires it. We have many homes around OR/WA that get lots of snow and required a higher rating. We will check elevation and code requirements during contracting and permitting, to make sure your home is built to local, more stringent requirements if needed.

Shed roof in the snow!

Composite shingles are the standard roofing material included with the price of the home and come in three color options. You can opt to upgrade to a metal roof which comes in 12+ color options. Is one choice better than the other? It is really up to you and the look you are going for. Learn more about shingles vs. metal on our blog!
