It’s no wonder that California is a hotbed of tiny houses—the cost of housing warrants it. However, the father and son team California Tiny House are trying to curtail the higher prices in one of the more affordable areas of the state with tiny starter homes and custom homes.
California Tiny House builds both custom and shell homes in Fresno.
In the city of Fresno, Calif. the cost of housing has gone up 6.4 percent over the past year and Zillow predicts it will go up another 3.5 percent next year. Fresno quickly reacted to this sudden increase by becoming the first city in the nation to set code standards and regulations to allow tiny houses in local communities.
Each home can include custom living and sleeping spaces.
The California Tiny House company builds both custom homes that are RV Certified and start at around $45,000. The custom homes contain a variety of sleeping options and interior finishes as well as composting or standard toilets. In addition the homes include tempered Milgard windows, metal roofing, high ceilings and on-demand or 19 gallon electric hot water heaters. Each home is built on the company’s custom heavy duty trailers and can sport some amazing cedar siding.
The interiors feature bamboo countertops and barn doors.
The family-run business also offers their California Starter home for between $19,000 and $28,000. These homes come with the trailer, complete framing, hurricane straps and tie-downs, plywood sheeting and Tyvek covering, a deck, and all door and window openings. You or your builder will finish the rest.
Both showers and soaking tubs can be included in each California Tiny House.
California Tiny House also has a variety of options including porch and deck kits, Murphy beds, wood burning stoves, holding tanks and even soaking tubs.
