Testimonials


Working with Traci and BiGBLiSS was truly a wonderful and FUN experience!

Being able to build a custom tiny home that wasn’t a pre-set floor plan or style was what excited me the most about using BiGBLiSS. The planning process was so easy and smooth and Traci was super communicative, especially as everything was done over email, as we were in the beginning stages of the pandemic. Traci was great (and patient) when it came to letting me do some of the work myself and was always there to offer tips and advice when needed. She worked with me and my tight budget and was able to add a couple of finishing features that I didn’t think we’d be able to fit in. I was honestly a little sad when my house left the build site because the build process was so much fun! I would highly recommend Traci and the BigBliss team to anyone looking for a high-quality custom tiny home. 10/10, would recommend!

Traci was such a joyful human to collaborate with in our tiny home.

We were drawn to her energy from her YouTube video, and she is what you see: genuine. Traci has beautiful craftsmanship as you can see in our custom yellow cabinet. She was easy to communicate with and if she wasn't available, she would make herself available within 24-48 hours. No middle-person, just us and our tiny home designer/builder, Traci with BiGBLiSS TinyHomes.

Any person in need of an excellent maker and person would be overjoyed to find Traci Glidden. Her skills and temperament elevated our project from start to finish.

I met Traci through our teenagers. I learned about her years making custom cabinets so when our 107 year old kitchen needed a major overhaul I asked to pick her brain about layout, cabinet design, construction and materials. We then worked closely together as she learned my needs (disabled and able bodied cooks, pets, kids, historic home) and designed beautiful, modern cabinetry that integrated with my house, were sustainably sourced and respected my budget. Traci then made and installed the cabs along with a beautiful, sturdy island. She was a great consultant to my construction crew and a comfort to this nervous homeowner.

Traci's skills in both design and carpentry were invaluable as we ran into the inevitable glitches of an old home. Never one to be romanced by her work, she adapted. Her temperament was a joy especially when things were challenging. She was also timely; a quality most appreciated. And almost a year after installation the flow of the room and the quality of her cabinetry continues to impress.

I've overseen 3 major kitchen remodels and worked with several contractors. Traci is the whole package- design, build and consciousness. I highly recommend Traci Glidden.

I have known and worked with Traci for a number of years.  During this time, Traci has not only performed various types of work for me, but she has provided knowledgeable guidance, thoughtful suggestions and support for me when needed.

Through the major remodel of an older bank-owned and long-vacated property, Traci was instrumental in planning, organizing, overseeing and completing many facets of the overall job.  Included would be carpentry, cabinetry revisions and installation, flooring, painting including color coordination and in-depth planning of the overall project.   The end product of that remodel is my beautiful home that I cherish for the creativity and precision in its creation.

Traci has also assisted me with landscape projects, fencing design and installation, as well as designing and building a phenomenal 12’ x 16’ art studio.

In all of the projects Traci has worked on for me, I have, without fail, found Traci to be enthusiastic, positive, punctual and extremely precise in her crafts.  She has an amazing pride in her work and it always shows.  She is enjoyable to work with, professional and responsible.

I highly recommend Traci for any work in her field that she feels capable of handling.  I would trust her to fulfill my needs professionally and in a timely manner.

I will say, like the website advertises, it really does matter when the builder is also the designer.

Initially, I hired a design firm to design my tiny home, but when lack of communication, unmet deadlines and overlooked budget guidelines were an issue, I knew I needed a new plan. I did some research and was recommended to BiGBLiSS TinyHomes LLC by NOAH (National Organization of Alternative Housing). Honestly, so much stress was relieved from the project when I collaborated with Traci to fine-tune my tiny home plans and put it into action. With her knowledge and experience as a designer/builder, she knew how to make my tiny home dreams a reality. So, to anyone considering if BiGBLiSS can deliver a high quality and highly customized and personalized tiny home, come talk to me! What a difference it makes to collaborate with BiGBLiSS and have the personal treatment only a designer/builder such as Traci can deliver.

Thank you BiGBLiSS TinyHomes, I am home now!

As I searched for a builder for my future tiny home, all of them were labeled as ‘custom’. What that meant was I could choose from a selection of floor plans, then choose from a selection of colors. I had some unconventional ideas, ideas that may make resale a challenge, but I was not building the AckShack for someone down the road, I was building it for me. BiGBLiSS not only agreed to my ideas, but did so enthusiastically while gently bringing reality into play when needed. I was nervous and Traci’s knowledge and confidence helped me morph my nervousness into excitement. She even agreed to leave a few things unfinished so I could put my own personal work into my tiny home. Thank you BiGBLiSS TinyHomes, I am home now!
