# Custom Craftsmanship on a Deadline — A One-of-a-Kind 16x20 Build
Industry
Tiny Home
Challenge
Complete a complex, fully custom building on a tight timeline before an ice storm hit — while meeting all the homeowner’s detailed requests.
Results
Delivered a fully personalized 16x20 structure with dormers, custom paint, and a cupola — completed in just 4 days, right before the storm.
Key Product
Custom Cabin
### The Challenge
Not all site builds are simple — and this one proved it. The client had a vision: a fully custom structure with specific design elements, and they needed it completed quickly — all before an incoming ice storm.
That meant the team had to work with speed, precision, and attention to every detail.
*“This job wasn’t cookie-cutter. It took about four days to complete — two for framing, two for painting and finishing. It was all hands on deck.”*
### The Process
The build included several custom elements that made this project stand out:
- 10-inch overhangs all the way around
- A 10/12 roof pitch
- A shed dormer on the side
- A custom roof overhang above the entry door and front window
- Board and batten siding with a custom Sherwin-Williams paint color
- A cupola, installed last to complete the look
Each feature was requested by the homeowner — and every detail was delivered with care.
### The Outcome
By the end of the fourth day, the team installed the cupola and wrapped the project. The result? A striking, customized building that the homeowner loved — with plenty of curb appeal and long-term functionality.
*“This customer was very happy with what they chose — and we’re excited to see how it serves them for years to come.”*
For customers looking for more than just a standard layout, this project shows what’s possible when design, craftsmanship, and timing come together. Every inch of this 16x20 build was tailored to the homeowner’s vision — and built to last.
