"Jen and her team at Teacup Tiny Homes are beyond amazing. I've never met a team of people who cared so much about the quality of their products AND the happiness of their customers."
-Â Jess & Jamie- The Ruby
Sarah & Riley
Teacup was well organized and everything in the builds showcased attention to detail. Seeing others who have gone with Teacup, live in their builds for many years, was important as well knowing they have longevity. The Ruby plan caught my eye, as well as a few others. They were smartly designed and reviews were fabulous. They are built for Canadian temperature which is very important.
Lorraine
I had looked at some second hand tiny homes on marketplace and choosing to go with Teacup Tiny Homes was an easy decision. I've followed them on Instagram for sometime and loved the design and products they were creating. I had looked at several of their build outs on Youtube which reassured me I was choosing the right builder, one that builds for Alberta weather, especially winter plus good design and quality work, a perfect trio!
Sean & Nikkey
If you're looking for a tiny house builder look no further! We just got ourselves a Ruby and are IN LOVE! The design, craftsmanship, functionality, and use of space is AMAZING! It looks like an interior home magazine in here! But that's not all! The entire process was SO EASY, from the sales/on-boarding, to the design meetings, and then throughout the build communications were AWESOME! It was even ready faster than initially planned! The entire Teacup team are INCREDIBLE!

How much is a tiny home delivery?
While delivery costs depend on location and accessibility and should be quoted on a case-by-case basis, most of our clients choose to manage transport themselves. This often saves on extra costs and insurance that Teacup would need to factor in. Although the delivery expense may seem significant, our clients find it’s well worth it to have a high-quality build that stands the test of time. Many customers initially consider local builders to avoid delivery fees, but they ultimately choose Teacup for our superior craftsmanship, durability, and expertise. We’ve seen too many cases of poorly built homes that end up costing homeowners far more in repairs, heating, and frustration down the road. Investing in a Teacup Tiny Home means getting it done right the first time—delivery included—because your home’s quality, safety, and comfort are worth it.
A few delivery cost examples are:
Tiny Home RV Delivery to:
- Southern Ontario: $9000.00
- Whitehorse YK: $9000.00
- Spokane Washington: $3600.00Â
- Tiny Home On Foundation:
- Southern Ontario: $12000.00 to $13,000.00 (depending on access)
Do you offer financing options?
We work with third-party financing partners who may be able to offer RV financing for our RV and Park Model homes. To qualify, you’ll typically need a good credit score, a strong credit history, a down payment (usually 20%-30%), and proof of income to support the payments. Some clients choose to have a co-signer to strengthen their loan application. If you meet these requirements, we can connect you with one of our financing partners.
For tiny homes on foundations, it’s best to discuss financing with your bank or financial institution. These types of loans may include a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) from your existing property or a chattel mortgage. We recommend speaking to your lender to explore the options available to you.
At Teacup, we use payment draws during construction, so you won’t pay in full until your home is complete. This applies to both financed and cash sales, ensuring you have flexibility throughout the build process.
