Tiny Foundations Northeast LLC

Tiny Foundations Northeast, LLC is a family-owned business located in Connecticut, specializing in foundational trailers, custom steel framing kits, pre-built shells, and complete turn-key tiny home builds. The company's origin story began in 2014 when the founders, Christopher and Wendy Steines, sought an affordable and high-quality alternative to traditional housing. Their initial struggle to find a suitable foundational trailer for their own tiny house led them to establish Tiny Foundations Northeast. Their aim was to make building on quality, safe, specialized trailers easier for others in their region. Initially focused on foundational trailers, Tiny Foundations Northeast has expanded its offerings over the years to include custom cold-formed steel framing kits, sheathing packages, and ready-to-finish assembled shells. They now offer complete, turn-key tiny homes. Their foundations are built using all tube steel construction for increased strength and torsion resistance, electric brakes on every wheel, and structural angle sill plates for framing attachment. Foundations also feature pre-installed belly pans and loading jacks. The company's steel framing kits utilize 20-gauge galvanized steel, pre-cut, pre-drilled, and labeled for straightforward assembly. These kits can be supplied with stamped engineered plans. Shells include Zip System sheathing, Advantech subflooring, and closed-cell spray foam insulation. Turn-key homes include premium features such as vinyl siding, PVC trim, Pella Impervia windows, Feather River fiberglass entry doors, and standing seam metal roofs. Interiors boast PVC tongue and groove paneling, vinyl plank flooring, fiberglass showers, composting toilets, electric on-demand water heaters, induction cooktops, and butcherblock countertops. Closed-cell spray foam insulation is used in floors, walls, and ceilings. Upgrade options such as continuous insulation, solid surface countertops, shiplap interiors, full tile showers, minisplit heat pumps, and propane tankless water heaters are available. Tiny Foundations Northeast emphasizes a customer-centric approach, taking the time to understand individual needs and preferences. The company prides itself on its commitment to quality, safety, and personalized service, differentiating itself from larger companies focused on mass production. They support local small businesses by sourcing materials, components, and specialized labor whenever possible. The company serves DIYers and professional builders, as well as individuals looking for a complete tiny home solution in the Northeast region of the United States.
