About Abide

Founder's Story

I grew up in Alaska and began working in construction at 18. Over the past 23 years, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the care and craftsmanship that go into building something that lasts.

I started Abide Outdoor Living to bring that same care to the places where people spend time together. A deck can become the setting for quiet mornings and family celebrations. A covered patio can bring everyone around the table a little longer. An outdoor kitchen can turn an ordinary evening into a gathering worth remembering. The name Abide reflects my Christian faith and the call to remain rooted in Christ. It also speaks to what I hope our work creates: a place to settle in, spend time together, and feel at home.

We build steel-frame decks, patio covers, pergolas, pavilions, and outdoor kitchens with care for both the structure and the people who will enjoy it.

“Rooted in a Higher Standard” is the principle I want to guide every project, every relationship, and every detail.

Why the name matters

The vine above our name points to John 15:4–5. For us, abiding means remaining in Christ. It speaks to love, obedience, joy, and the fruit that comes from staying connected to Him. It also means dwelling and remaining in a place. Those meanings sit at the heart of the spaces we want to create.

What custom means here

We do not begin with a standard kit and ask your home to fit around it. We begin with a conversation about how you live outside, what the site offers, and what keeps the space from working today. Then the structure, materials, and details have a reason to be there.

A thoughtful beginning

You may know exactly what you want, or only know that the yard is not serving you. Both are good places to begin. We can talk through patio covers, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and custom metal-frame decks, and decide what makes sense for your home.
