About Tiki Kev

I began my construction background as a contractor’s helper in the early 1980s. I quickly learned many aspects of building: homes, additions, remodeling, decks, etc. After three years as a helper, I decided to start my own contractor business. In the beginning it was rewarding, but after time it became a “job”.

After six years in my own business, I focused my expertise on designing and building decks. I was drawn to being outside and creating special spaces for customers in their outdoor yards. This had become much more rewarding to me than remodeling had been.

While in Jamaica on vacation, I was standing under a Tiki Hut on the beach when it hit me – I should be building these. After I returned home, I designed and built my first Tiki Bar and Hut. A guest at my home approached me and asked that I build him one.

The Tiki Bars and Huts were a natural addition to my attraction of designing outdoor spaces for customers. I built several samples, held an open house at my wood shop, and the rest is history.

I enjoy going to work every day building custom Tiki Bars for customers and also sitting at them. Besides designing and building these bars, I enjoy meeting and talking to many people around the country that enjoy the same lifestyle that I do that is enhanced by a Tiki Bar.
