About Us
Our Story
Backcountry Tiny Homes is a woman-owned carpentry, construction, and engineering company located in Hampstead, NH. We specialize in mobile tiny home design and construction.
We're not just tiny home builders, we're tiny home owners ourselves. There is no better way to understand how tiny home design comes together and functions for homeowners than to walk the walk and talk the talk. We understand that the bones and guts of each tiny home are just as, if not more, important than the finishing touches. Insulation, ventilation, and framing are custom designed for each client based on where they plan to park and live so that their home is made to last. We pride ourselves on our openness and transparency as a company and it's our number one priority to provide consistent and clear communication to our clients throughout the design and construction processes. Our goal is to continue to learn how to better our designs through knowledge and experience gained by being involved in the tiny home movement from the roots up. We're engineers. We're contractors. We're designers. Let our wealth of experience be your guide for your next tiny chapter.

Andrew
CARPENTER
The real MVPs at Backcountry Tiny Homes are Cedar, Sequoia, Whisper, and Teddy. These hard-working canines come to work and help provide the comic relief and love that every person needs. They are often called upon for modeling jobs for our tiny home staging during photo shoots so look out for their work as they grace our posts.
The entire pup pack has honorary degrees in bark-eology and they have published papers on the art of getting more treats.
