WHO WE ARE

Meet your makers.

Custom Container Living was established in 2015 by Robert Wagoner stemming from a love of alternative structures.  His experience with traditional fine home construction resulted in a feeling of inadequacies so he made it his mission to refine those challenges by utilizing shipping containers.  The benefits are amazing, not to mention nearly indestructible! 

Robert’s history of quality custom home building combined with high standards of construction will provide you with just the right full-time home, vacation cabin, rental or even business property.  Most of our floor plans are “Certified Manufactured Homes.”  This means strict codes are followed, that will ease your ability for financing and municipality approvals.

Custom Container Living is passionate about making your dreams come true by creating a totally unique container home that fits your lifestyle.  Simply choose from any of the container home floor plans and then select the custom options you’d like: siding type and color, flooring, cabinets, countertops, lofts, kitchens, bathrooms and more!


Contact us today and we’ll be happy to answer any questions.

​WHY BUILD A CONTAINER HOUSE

There are so many benefits of building a shipping container home- Here are some of the top reasons:

AFFORDABILITY

We offer homes that range from $29k to $100k+ (depending on custom options).

FAST TO BUILD

Our shipping container homes are built and assembled inside of our shop. Being able to build them indoors is a huge advantage that allows all of our materials (and craftsmen) to stay protected from the elements. It also allows us to always be working on a home regardless of the weather or temperature outside. Because of these advantages, our container homes are generally completed months faster than traditional homes. 

STRENGTH & SAFETY

Compared to traditional stick built homes, container homes are made of steel and were originally intended to withstand the harsh and rigorous conditions of inter-sea transport.

LOCATION & VERSATILITY

Because of the simple foundations used by container homes, these structures can go where some houses can not. Shipping container homes do not use a traditional foundation. This means they can accommodate many different types of terrain and soil conditions.

ECO FRIENDLY

Thousands upon thousands of shipping containers are abandoned or disposed of each year. Our containers are gently used or have been used for one trip. By upcycling these used containers, you're making a better use of these great steel structures. In addition to upcycling, our homes have a very high R insulation value, in return uses less electric and natural resources to power the home.

IT ALL ADDS UP

It all adds up to a smarter investment for your money. The affordability, durability, time, and versatility make shipping container homes a wonderful alternative to traditional homes. See our "Learn More" tab for a plethora of resources and information about our homes.
