100% would recommend Highland Tiny Home Builders!! Michael went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met, he sent regular video updates and communication was second to none 🙌🏻 Couldn’t recommend enough with the experience we had.
I purchased my tiny house nearly 3 years ago and couldn't be more happy with it. The workmanship is perfect and it still looks like brand new after all this time. I highly recommend Highland Tiny Home Builders and would only ever purchase another one from them. 10/10
From start to finish my experience with Michael and his team was fantastic. The building of my custom tiny home was done to the highest standard and Michael was very accommodating of my extra requests. I couldn’t recommend Highlands Tiny Home Builders more highly!
Thank you Michael and the team at Highland Tiny Home Builders, we love our Tiny House. We can't thank you enough for your patience and workmanship is faultless. Every build stage was explained and nothing was a problem.
