What We Do
Tiny Hookups can manage all the work related to adding legal and permitted infrastructure so you can live in your tiny house on wheels or RV on residential property.
Initial consultation - $100
We will meet with you and discuss the the zoning regulations and building code standards that allow for tiny houses on wheels and RVs to be connected to water, sewer and electrical services on residential property. The consult will also cover best practice for site design and mobile dwelling placement.
To start the process simply email us at info@tinyhookups.com
Wondering about Accessory Dwelling Units? Kol Peterson, one of the company founders, can provide a more involved ADU site consultation. Learn more here.
During the Tiny House consultation, we’ll explain the steps required to do the work yourself. If you want us to handle the work, we’re ready to go.
The Process
If you decide to work with us, we’ll compile a complete bid so you know how much the work will cost before we begin. Creating our bid means coordinating with several subcontractors, so we’ll need site access to inspect the existing services and provide a full scope of work. Note this may mean more than one visit depending on availability and what we find on the initial site visit.
Our bid will include all project management, labor, materials, and relevant work by licensed subcontractors to get your property ready to service your new tiny house or RV.
Beyond adding new utility connections for your tiny house, it is sometimes necessary to upgrade the water or electrical service to the property to allow enough capacity for an additional dwelling. These costs can be significant and we’ll provided details on those upgrades if they are required on your property.
If your primary house needs a water, sewer, or electrical upgrade, we’ll provide a bid for these items so that the costs are clear from the start.
We can also arrange additional site work such as deconstruction of an old shed or garage to make space for your tiny house or RV.
Tiny House Setup Work
Once all the utilities are in place, you will be ready to place the tiny house on your property.
Once the tiny house arrives, we can return to get the house connected to the utilities. We will also securely position and level the house using a blocking system we’ve developed and refined over the last 15 years.
We offer this work on a time and materials basis as every tiny house and every site is different. We are happy to go into this in more detail during the initial consultation, and as you plan for and purchase your tiny house.
