The Story of How Our Roots Took Shape
Grounded in craftsmanship, trust, and a deep respect for doing things the right way.
Movable Roots is a family-run and operated business grounded in craftsmanship, trust, and a deep respect for doing things the right way.
​
Our story began in Nogales, Arizona, where we grew up working alongside our father in his remodeling business, Cheatham and Sons. He taught us more than construction—he instilled the values of hard work, integrity, and treating people right. Those lessons still guide us every day.
​
After two decades in the construction and remodeling world, Mike, his wife Nikki, and brother Jonathan decided to take a different path—one that focused on building smaller, smarter homes without sacrificing quality. Movable Roots was born from that vision.
​
We specialize in custom tiny homes on wheels, park model RVs, and modular homes—along with mobile commercial and hospitality units. Each project is built with the same attention to detail and care we were raised on.
​
Movable Roots remains a true family business. Our dad still stops by the shop, offering advice and support. Mike’s son, Alex, is now part of the team, continuing the hands-on legacy into the next generation.
Our oldest brother Paul was the first to work full-time in the family trade. He appreciated simple living and quality craftsmanship long before it was trending—he may have been on to the tiny home movement without even knowing it. Though he’s no longer with us, his influence runs deep in everything we build.
