Hangout Hero's top it off with a Tongue & Groove Wood Ceiling

- Pre-finished at the factory with a five year material warranty.
- Installed by superior craftsman, not a handyman just figuring it out.

Hi, I'm Henry. The "H" in HL Posey.
I believe that family and friends are the most important part of life. I believe that spending time together and growing those relationships are one of our greatest purposes. But most people are missing out on the best part of a rich and fulfilling life. I believe a beautiful backyard is the most important room in the house and is the best place to spend time and have fun with those we love.
I believe that your backyard hangout must reflect your style. That you should not be limited by what's available but by what is possible. I believe your choices for an outdoor kitchen should be unlimited but that you should not be overwhelmed by figuring it out own your own. I believe that you should not be limited by the constraints of your space to get what you want. You need a partner you can trust with your dreams that has the imagination to develop every option.
I've been a Florida Certified Building Contractor since 2006. In 2011 Laurie and I decided to concentrate on making people's lives better by transforming their backyard into beautiful backyard hangouts. Since then we've helped thousands of people get their pergolas, outdoor kitchens and crazy backyard dreams so they could be a Hangout Hero.
Every picture on this site represents the final interpretation of someone's dream that we helped come true. We're excited and can't wait to hear what you want to do.
