Dexter founded Tiny Homes Raleigh in 2020 when Raleigh first passed its ADU law. Throughout his 3 years running the company, Tiny Homes Raleigh became one of the leading build & design firms of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Tiny Homes in the area. Dexter has permitted & built 10 ADUs in Raleigh, was selected into Raleigh’s ADU Fast-Track Program, and has been featured on the local news numerous times about ADUs.
