Our Story
Tiny Homes of Maine was founded by Corinne Watson and Thomas Small with a simple mission: to create high-quality, customizable tiny homes that give people the freedom to live big in a smaller space. Since 2016, we’ve been designing and building tiny homes on wheels for full-time living, vacation getaways, and ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) across Maine and beyond.
In 2023, our journey took an unexpected turn when a fire destroyed our shop. It was a devastating setback, but with the support of our community and our dedicated team, we rebuilt and came back stronger. That experience only reinforced our commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and helping others find security and comfort in their own tiny homes.
Today, Tiny Homes of Maine continues to lead the way in Maine’s tiny home movement. We’ve worked alongside local and state officials to improve zoning laws, making tiny homes a more accessible and legal housing option. From design to delivery, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your tiny home fits your needs and lifestyle.
We believe that home is about more than square footage—it’s about freedom, simplicity, and living life on your terms. Let’s build something amazing together.
joining
Our story took an exciting turn when Kevin Hancock, Chairman + Managing Owner of Hancock Lumber, saw what we were building—not just homes, but a movement. Inspired by our mission, he reached out, and together, we saw an opportunity to create something even greater. Hancock Lumber proudly acquired Tiny Homes of Maine on October 31, 2024, bringing together a shared commitment to quality craftsmanship, sustainable living, and making tiny home dreams a reality.
Through every challenge and every triumph, our mission remains the same: to empower people to live big in a tiny home of their own. Whether you're looking for a cozy retreat, a full-time residence, or an adventure on wheels, we’re here to help you make it happen.
