Frequently Asked Questions
Elbow Room is semi-custom, not fully custom.
We offer a curated collection of thoughtfully designed models in multiple sizes, with options to personalize finishes, colors, and certain features. This approach gives you the flexibility to make it yours—without the delays, risks, or high costs of a fully custom build. By working within proven plans, we’re able to deliver a smoother process, transparent pricing, and consistent quality every time.
You’ll choose your model, size, and layout—then personalize it with:
• Paint colors
• Optional bathroom, kitchenette, or kitchen
• Upgrades like premium siding or decks
