Tiny Home Manufacturer

Welcome to Anchored Tiny Homes, the premier tiny home manufacturer. We are a family-owned business with over two generations of building experience, dedicated to crafting high-quality, customizable anchored accessory dwelling units (ADUs) tailored to our clients’ unique needs and preferences. Our mission is to create innovative living spaces that blend quality, functionality and style seamlessly.

We’re made up of two generations of builders and are a family-owned and operated business. After 30-years of servicing the Northern California community, we decided to do our part to positively impact the earth and the lives of those we serve by building ADUs to help families stay closer together, earn rental income, and help solve the housing crisis that we are facing across the country. Our vision is to help people become financially free, keep families close, and make housing options available for more Americans.

Started by Colton and Shylia Paulhus, along with Colton’s younger brother, Austin, and his dad, Scott, we are a business that seeks to treat our employees, partners, and customers like members of our ever-growing family!

Our team of industry-leading experts works closely with homeowners to design and construct a variety of tiny home solutions. Specializing in detached, attached and garage conversion ADUs, we pride ourselves on our expert craftsmanship, attention to detail and commitment to using quality materials. All of our ADUs are stick-built right on your property, which almost completely eliminates access issues that may prevent you from being able to build an ADU.

Video Testimonials

Jackie Danielsson

Jackie Danielsson built a beautiful detached 792 square foot ADU on her property for her parent to have their own spacious home while still being able to stay nearby and LOVED the overall experience.

Nichole Wolfe

Due to limited space, Nichole had us build an attached ADU onto her home for her dad to have space of his own on their property. It turned out to be the perfect solution to keep everyone close by and still have enough room for everyone to thrive.

FAQs

According to state laws any property that is zoned as single or multi-family can build an ADU regardless of location, HOAs, or any other local regulations as long as you have the space.

The most common placement is in the backyard, but you can also have them in the side yard or even the front of your house given there is enough room when taking setbacks, local regulations, and any unique easements on your property into account.

Because our ADUs are stick built on site, we have a ton of options to customize our base models as well as create a custom build ADU from scratch.

From floor plans, room sizes, kitchen fixtures, and cosmetic changes, we can help you create the exact space you’ve always imagined.

Some of the key elements that you can customize include:

  • External color
  • External finish materials (including options to exactly match your primary home)
  • Internal finishes from floors to tile to countertops to appliances and more!
  • Internal wall colors
  • Shower features (metal shower, porcelain shower, glass door, and more)
  • Kitchen features (sink style, countertop style, cabinets color, and more)

You can customize everything on this list, and so much more, for your new ADU.

Have any questions about customizations? Inquire today and speak with an expert to get all of your questions answered.

Our Anchored ADUs come fully finished with a full kitchen, bathroom, living space, and bedrooms if you are wanting to bedrooms in your unit.

Some of the more specific features include:

There are a ton of financing options available for ADUs and our in-house financing department can help you find the best loans for your desired terms and current qualifications.

The most common type of financing for an ADU project right now is either a cash-out refinance or a Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC) but there are a number of other options available as well including renovation and personal loans.

Feel free to reach out to us today to learn more about financing and get connected with our financing team!

Yes, we do offer shell or unfinished versions of our ADUs.

With our shell model ADUs, we still handle the whole process for you and finish everything except for the interior of the ADU.

For the interior of a shell model ADU, we would complete rough plumbing, rough electrical, and framing leaving the rest for you to complete on your own or using your own subcontractors.

The cost of a shell model ADU is approximately 60% of the cost of one of our finished units!

What Our Customers Say About Us

  • George Warren
    Anchored built two ADUs behind my existing duplex in Midtown Sacramento and we just had our final inspection this week. Although there were some challenges along the way and the project took much longer than expected, I couldn't be happier with the end result. Note to future customers: The state of California and many local governments (Sacramento included) talk a good game about streamlining the process of building an ADU– but that message hasn't necessarily reached the people in the building department. Our project was delayed for TWO MONTHS because of an error by a city plan checker. They admitted they screwed up, but still charged me $640 to amend the permit– including a couple hundred dollars for an "expedited review." Don't blame your builder!
  • Bonita Amaro
    So far, so good. From all my research, this company is reputable. I stopped by their office on Hazel Ave without an appointment & did not see or feel like anything was "off." I was comfortable in placing my initial deposit. I received a very good recommendation from one of their previous customers that I happened to meet in a social situation. The consultation service has been excellent . Everything has been explained, so I understand the process . The company is the general contractor from start to turn key ready. I'm getting ready to start the ball rolling!
  • Peach Tsige
    Anchored Tiny Homes just completed my ADU and I couldn’t be more happier with the results. We did have some delays along the way due to many factors but all and all they remained professional and responsive. Colton remained accessible and accommodating to my requests. Even with all the inflation, they kept my price the same as what was quoted over two years ago.
  • Timothy Hooper
    Awesome pla e to look for investment homes.

  • Anthony Scarpelli
    Quality product, owners on top of it when things came up. Price was very fair.
  • Diane Lawver
    We had Anchored Tiny Homes build us the 32' Jibe model as a registered RV. The team did a superlative job! The quality of the construction and dedication to customer service was the BEST we have experienced in a long time! They correctly interpreted our design requests, were responsive to our questions, invoiced exactly what they estimated at the beginning of the project, and were very engaged in coming up with best options when there were choices. They have assembled a team of professionals who made us very happy that we selected this business to help us create our vision. It turned out even better than we could have ever hoped.
  • Jackie Danielsson - Ables
    We had Anchored Tiny Homes build an ADU for my Mom in our yard. The minute I met Scott when he came to our home I knew this family had construction experience! The crews became like family, the results are beautiful! Happy to have Mom here and she is happy with her home.
  • Christine Blyumberg
    There little house are so cute! If I were single I'd definitely would want one of these homes for myself.
  • Sean Parsons
    Anchored Tiny Homes is the best! They are very responsive and super professional.
  • Nichole Wolfe
    We love Anchored Tiny Homes, we wanted an addition or an ADU for our current home in Folsom. We met with many different contractors, but Anchored Tiny Homes went above and beyond and most importantly they were use to working with small spaces. They knew how to maximize every area. Our new ADU is spacious and beautiful inside and out. Their crew is spectacular. From the their PM Shannon, who was responsive and efficient. To their carpenters Jared and his amazing crew! They have an incredible vision and talent. Doing any type of construction project is stressful and there are hiccups always, but we love the product and the staff and will refer everyone we know! Thank for our awesome unit! We love it!
  • Debra Ann
    I LOVE my custom Tinys!! Colton and his team have incredible heart, which is something I look for first when shopping for anything local. Their work is phenomenal and their response for anything missed or needing extra attention is above and beyond. They stand by their work!! Beautiful!
