Most Families Are Stuck Choosing Between Three Bad Options
Moving In Together
No rent — but high friction, stress, limited space, and loss of privacy for everyone in the house.
Doing Nothing
Guilt, fear, and a crisis waiting to happen at the worst possible time.
There's a fourth option. It's permanent, private, and it's already sitting on your property.

Why Families Choose Jax Tiny Homes
No Upgrade Fees. Ever.
No markup on cabinets, countertops, or appliances. What you see on day one is what you pay at signing. No surprises.
We Handle Everything
You're already managing your parent's healthcare and finances. You don't need a second job managing a contractor.
Full Utility Hookups Included
We handle everything from the panel upgrade to the sewer hookup — electrical, plumbing, exterior connections, and sump pumps if needed. You don't coordinate a single subcontractor.
Built on Your Property. Permanently.
A modular gets moved. This stays — and adds to your property value.
Local Jacksonville Contractor
We know your city's permit office by name. That's how we finish on time.
Transparent Pricing
No mystery pricing. Ranges posted publicly so you can plan before you ever call us.
We Stand Behind Every Build
Every warranty is transferred into your name at project completion — no middleman, no chasing us down.
Most builders cash the check and move on. We transfer real warranties into your name and stay reachable.
What Does This Actually Cost Per Month?
Your parent could be in their own home for around $1,200/month — financed. That's less than most Jacksonville assisted living facilities charge per week.
- ✓HELOC against your existing home equity
- ✓Construction loan
- ✓Cash from parent's home sale (the most common path for families we work with)
- ✓We'll connect you with local lenders familiar with ADU projects
