Question 1

Where can MyCabin deliver the units?

Accepted Answer

The MyCabin product is fully finished in the factory in Illinois and placed on a truck for shipment to nearly all 50 states. MyCabin is also ready to work with customers in Canada to plan a shipment to their property.

Question 2

Are the houses intended for living all year round?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they are absolutely meant to be lived in all year round. The US MyCabin units arrive ready with extreme insulation levels of R38 walls and floors and R49 ceilings by using closed cell spray foam insulation. There will be minimal amounts of heat needed, even in cold weather locations.

Question 3

What heating and cooling systems are used for the house?

Accepted Answer

We offer a few different options for heating and cooling systems, but we are focused on using the Ephoca (compressor-less) unit.

Question 4

Can I choose my own colors and finishes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible to choose other colors and finishes provided that we can source the requested specs.

Question 5

Are the houses installed with all utility connections?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the houses are installed with sewage, water supply, and electrical supply connections.

All you have to do is hook them up when we arrive.

Question 6

What if my intended property does not have sewage and water supply? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

There are multiple things you could do, all of it depends on the property in question and what your contractor may suggest. Our team will consult you and, if necessary, will help resolve the problem. Depending on the scope, there could be additional costs for this.

Question 7

How much do these houses cost?

Accepted Answer

You can get all the information on the base unit prices on our website. All non-standard customizations are coordinated individually.

Question 8

Is it possible to move the house after it's completed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the houses can be moved after installation.

Question 9

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

We offer access to a mortgage provider that understands our product and the options our customers have. For questions regarding financing, please feel free to contact our preferred lender, Great Lakes Home Mortgage. You should also be able to work with your own bank as this is modular construction built to US code.

Question 10

Is shipping included? How is that handled?

Accepted Answer

The cost of shipping is not included. We will coordinate shipping with our preferred logistics partner and they will contact you for direct billing. You also have the option of choosing your own shipping provider as long as they have the right trucks for our units.

Question 11

What type of ventilation do these houses have?

Accepted Answer

MyCabin houses are equipped with a fresh air supply system (ERV) and turn and tilt doors and windows for air flow.

Question 12

When can I receive a finished house?

Accepted Answer

The construction time of the cabins are typically 2-3 months depending on the model and configuration, after you receive your approved building permit and your 50% invoice has been paid. The delivery and installation time of the building must be taken into account. It depends on the season and the amount of orders, which we coordinate with each customer when concluding an individual contract.

Question 13

Is the decking included?

Accepted Answer

No, this needs to be coordinated and purchased separately. You will likely want to work with your contractor on this.

Question 14

Do you prepare my foundation and handle the installation?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, we cannot. Foundation, utility work, and installation of the units on your land needs to be handled by your licensed contractor. We build, finish, and ship the completed units only.

Question 15

What type of foundation do I need?

Accepted Answer

Our standard design is a concrete pier system. If that will not work for your property or you would like to explore something else, we can work on that with our engineering partner at an additional cost.
