About Cottage and Small Homes
Cottage and Small Homes Done Right
Small homes ask for good design. We plan layouts that flow, storage that works and details that give a small space presence.
They are a great fit for small lots, downsizing and guest houses.
A walk through the project, a clear plan and tidy work from the first permit to the final walkthrough.

Are small homes simpler to build?
They can be, but good small homes need careful design, because every choice shows. We plan carefully from the start.
Can a small home have high-end finishes?
Yes. Small homes are a good place for quality finishes because the surfaces are fewer.
How do I request a quote?
Call 615-431-3789 or send the form on this page. Tell us the address, what you want to build or change and when you would like to start, and photos or plans help. We follow up and set a time to walk the project.
Can I combine this with other work?
Yes. Many projects combine several services, such as framing, systems and finishes, and we plan them into a single schedule.
