Joshua Yates

With nearly a decade of experience in outdoor living projects, Josh specializes in transforming blank spaces and empty lanais into beautiful, functional outdoor kitchens. His vision is simple: to create outdoor spaces where families can gather, relax, and enjoy each other’s company. Over the years, he has honed my skills, focusing on every detail to ensure each project is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical and durable.

Creativity is at the heart of what Josh does. He believes that every outdoor kitchen should reflect the homeowner’s personality and lifestyle. Whether it’s a sleek, modern setup for gourmet cooking or a cozy space for casual get-togethers, he is passionate about bringing your vision to life.

Family and faith are the cornerstones of his life and work. As a devoted family man, Josh understands the importance of creating spaces that bring people together. Outdoor living is more than just filling up empty space; it's about creating places where memories are made and family bonds are strengthened. Josh's faith guides him in all his endeavors, inspiring him to work with integrity, honesty, and a commitment to serving others.

Silas Yates

Silas has been immersed in the construction world since he was a kid, growing up in a family where building and craftsmanship were everyday conversations. At just 18, he dove into the outdoor kitchen industry, quickly earning a reputation for his hard work and dedication.

Integrity and reliability are second nature to Silas. He treats every project with the utmost care, ensuring each outdoor kitchen is crafted to perfection. His sense of humor and friendly nature make working with him a joy for both clients and colleagues, creating a warm and positive atmosphere.
