Frequently Asked Questions

We sell new (one-trip) and used containers, including custom configurations, that are rated “cargo-worthy (CWO)” which means:

• Working cargo doors with good seals
• No leaks or holes
• Strong and functional floors

We currently require appointments for yard visits due to COVID-19 protocol. As your order progresses, we do send you pictures along the way and all of our containers come with a right to refuse delivery if the product is not up to standard.

You can absolutely finance your shipping container! We offer various options  and each have their own set of pros and cons. For more information, please visit our shipping container financing page.

While we think our models offer great options, some folks want to design their own space and we are here to help! This will be a consultative based project as these options are not readily available on our website due to the custom nature.

Prices fluctuate with the market and industry. We are constantly getting new inventory at various prices. The prices on our website reflect up to date data.

We do our best to keep our website updated with recent pictures, but if you are interested in seeing something you don’t currently see, reach out and we will see what we can do. Feel free to visit our shipping container gallery for recent photos of builds.

Container homes can very well be dropped on level ground that’s not raised, but a foundation of some sort is highly recommended. Building a foundation for your container home is the best way to keep unwanted pests and elements out.

Container home foundation options we recommend:

• Concrete slab foundations
• Diamond Pier foundations
• Gravel pads
• Railroad ties/foundations

You can take a look at our blog on preparing your land for more detailed descriptions of each option we recommend.

If you want something that’s not on our website, schedule a meeting, call, or email us! We have an excellent crew, and we are confident that we can do most modifications on container homes and offices.

We have solutions to ship all over the world. We have hubs in integral parts of the United States and continue to expand throughout, but depending on your location and build, shipping costs can quickly increase. Give us a call to gather an idea of delivery options available.

Absolutely! But the initial appeal can degrade once we discuss pricing. Many folks have lofty expectations for a container home mansion, but in most cases these types of builds will be more expensive than a traditional stick and frame home and need different types of permitting. We can help with all of the above, but do be prepared for a considerable cost increase from the models available on our website. The best prices for a build of this type come into play if you do not connect the containers directly. This eliminates the need for on-site welding, which doesn’t come cheap.

A full bathroom is made up of a sink, a shower, a bathtub, and a toilet. For our three-quarter baths, you have all of the above with the bathtub replaced with a shower. For our half-bath options, you just have a sink and a toilet for you and your guests.

We use behr premium paint for each of our builds. You can see a list of available options here.

We do provide fixtures, but not furnishings. Fixtures include your kitchen base cabinet, electric, stovetop, sinks, toilet, shower, etc. Our base price does not include the refrigerator, couches, beds, etc. Please contact us if you have any questions on outfitting your container.

Since the majority of our work falls to shipping container homes, we outfit most of our shipping containers with the following insulation:

• R13 – 2″ closed spray Foam in walls
• R21- 3″ closed cell spray foam in the ceiling
• R6 – 1″ closed cell spray foam under a container

We can also insulate according to your climate, so schedule your meeting with a container tech to learn more about your options if you feel you need to change the insulation performance.
