The first tiny home he built—a Hobbit house—was crafted for a friend. That friend never moved into the house; instead, he called the local newspaper in Knoxville, Tennessee, to feature the build. The story spread across the country, and before Jones knew it, he had ten new orders. From that moment on, Incredible Tiny Homes was born. Building Homes, Building Hope
Starting a company from the ground up— without capital, without a factory, without tools—seemed impossible. But Jones was no stranger to hard work. “I had no money. I borrowed tools from a friend,” he admits. “I made a deal with a salvage yard—if I cleaned up their lot, I could take whatever I wanted. That’s how I built our first eight or ten homes.” It was a grassroots effort, fueled by determination, resourcefulness, and a vision for what tiny homes could be.
