Q: What kind of warranty does WCH offer?

At WCH, we take pride in the quality of our construction. We provide a full one-year warranty on our construction, and pass on manufacturers’ warranties for all products that are installed. As a responsible and responsive builder, we want your dream home to stand the test of time. More details regarding warranty can be provided upon request.

Q: Do you assist with the permit process?

No, we leave this process in the capable hands of our architect and design partners.

Q: How long is the building process?

The timeline depends on the project's scope of work. This is determined after we meet and review your house plans together. For example, we can build a simple 2,600 sq ft. spec home in 4-5 months once permits have been granted.

Q: Do you offer financing?

We currently do not offer financing for park models. We are working on the possibility of financing for tiny homes with a local bank. Please contact us if you’d like more information on tiny home financing options.

Q: What are the building standards of the tiny homes we build?

We build tiny homes to two different standards. Our Park Models are built according to ANSI 119.5 Recreational Park Trailer Standards. Inspections are completed by Washington State Labor & Industries. After passing the final inspection, we receive an insignia sticker which is placed on the home. Our tiny homes are built according to the International Residential Code (IRC) and follow the Washington State Energy Code. Our tiny homes are also inspected by WA State L&I and we also receive an insignia for our tiny homes once passing final inspection.

Q: Do you build shells or partly finished tiny homes?

No, we must complete each model in its entirety. Labor & Industries will not provide an insignia sticker, which is needed to move the unit, until the model passes final inspection.
