Who we are
Built by builders, for builders.
CERTAFI was founded by builders for builders. We saw firsthand how expensive and slow traditional tiny home certification had become — and built a better way.
Our inspectors are experienced construction professionals who review your documentation remotely, usually within hours. No site visits to schedule. No paperwork to mail. Just a clear process that respects your time and gets you certified.
We certify to the CERTAFI+ Enhanced Building Standard only — a published, inspected private standard. Your certificate is designed to support documentation with lenders, insurers, and RV parks. Acceptance may vary by lender, insurer, or jurisdiction.
