 Trent Haery, co-founder of Modern Tiny Living, was recently inteviewed by Bankrate.com about the tiny house industry and we are thrilled to share the story with you here!
Tiny living has certainly continued to grow in interest, popularity and reality since we opened up our doors in 2015, and we are proud to see the evolution and growth of the industry. In the the article, Trent tackles topics like zoning, parking, financing, and much more. Here is a snippet about parking, zoning, and codes: "Trent Haery, co-founder of tiny home builder Modern Tiny Living, based in Columbus, Ohio, explains that the rules for building a tiny house boil down to two types of regulations:
State and local regulations may dictate permitting requirements, restrictions on the home’s size and guidelines for construction. Plus, some states, such as California, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Oregon and Texas, are more tiny home-friendly than others. By doing this research, you’ll know what you’re allowed to build and where, and how best to go about planning the project. “The safest bet is always to work directly with the city officials and ask them, as opposed to taking a risk and hiding in your house hoping no one sees you,” Haery says." Great job to Trent for representing both Modern Tiny Living and the tiny house industry so well in this article!  We recently received this humbling and thoughtful review from Adrienne, the customer for whom we built Rivendell (a Kokosing 24 ft. tiny house on wheels). We just figured we'd share it with you in case you were considering building your tiny house with our team here at Modern Tiny Living.
Here's what Adrienne had to say: "When I first discovered Modern Tiny Living on Instagram, I thought, “This is photo magic: no way are the real homes as gorgeous as these pictures!” But, figuring I’d be happy if my home was half as pretty, I worked up the courage to order one, sight unseen, from people I’d never met who worked several states away. It was one of the scarier things I’ve ever done! And, long story short, it was one of the best. Our Kokosing model, Rivendell, is every bit as beautiful as the photos. Trent and his team were a delight to work with, easily and cleverly addressing all my ideas and concerns. We ordered our tiny home before the pandemic, intending it as studio and guest space and overflow quarters for a family needing some room to spread out. It arrived a few months into Covid times, and has bailed us out of so many situations we could never have anticipated. Everything about Rivendell is so beautiful, well-crafted, and well-thought out, and it’s been a godsend to have such a sweet and peaceful and luxurious retreat in these difficult times. I could not recommend Modern Tiny Living, their staff and their homes, more highly!" Here's the video tour for our most recent build, Gallaway! Gallaway is a 28 ft. tiny house designed and built by Modern Tiny Living, based in Columbus, Ohio. Give it a watch!

This testimonial comes courtesy of Kelly & Sergio W., owners of our beautiful custom Modern Tiny Living tiny house on wheels, Serenity. Here's what Kelly & Sergio have to say about their experience with Modern Tiny Living: "Serenity is just as her name alludes. "The state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled." Working with Trent and the team was seamless. Designing a home from across the country is stressful, but they were very thorough and patient with the many ideas that we had for her. We looked at hundreds of homes and companies before choosing MTL. I work from home, so our home office has worked out Amazingly. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and she is just beautiful to look at. We have been living here for about 18 months now with 3 dogs and a cat. We don't feel crowded, we feel loved. It is literally just a sigh of relief how easy tiny home living is. With this design, the storage that we added, has left us with so much room that we actually don't have enough stuff to fill it now...we are sooo happy living in "Serenity"" |
