Florida-Certified Building Contractor · Serving Florida Since 2007
THE REAL DECISION
Most people don't get stuck on whether they want an outdoor kitchen. They get stuck on the choices.
Tile or stone? Stucco or stainless? Weatherproof Cabinetry?
Custom-built or prefab out of the box? Ideas everywhere?
It's the decision that stalls backyard dreams for months.
That's our job. We've designed and built hundreds of these across Southwest Florida, and in a single showroom visit — in person or virtual — we'll help you land on the finish that fits your style, your space, and your budget.
No overwhelming, no pressure, no products
you don't need.
We have a plan...

"Working with Elena & Laurie was SEAMLESS...
From the very begining, the customer service that Alyssa gave us, to the incredible knowledge of materials, appliances, and operational logistics that Elena offered during consultation made the process flawless! Though the project was relatively small the appreciation to their quality & craftmanship is HUGE.
Thank you Posey Builders for a job well done."

Construction is hard, hot, dusty, and sweaty leaving us a bit stinky.
If you see us goofing off a little here and there... we're merely surviving the day or shooting a Public Service Announcement.
Had our small outdoor kitchen area remodeled and new grill installed by them. Laurie & Henry were a pleasure to deal with, willing to listen to my ideas and offering plenty of their own. Josh & the installation crew were a great bunch of guys who worked hard and did a high-quality job. Overall, I am delighted and would certainly recommend them.
