Our Process

Built-to-Last

No cut corners
no cheap materials

Every structure we build at Bougie Backyard Builds is crafted with the highest quality materials available because we believe your investment deserves nothing less. We never cut corners—our lumber is always fully treated to ensure durability and long-lasting strength. Unlike many who rely on big box store supplies, we source our lumber directly from a trusted mill in Bunkie, Louisiana, giving us access to superior quality wood that stands the test of time. In addition, we also have access to high-quality reclaimed cypress, a material that elevates the aesthetics of many of our builds. We spend countless hours carefully cleaning and restoring each piece, bringing it back to life while preserving its rustic charm. This commitment to excellence and detail is what sets our builds apart and ensures that every coop, kennel, or shed we create is both beautiful and built to last.

Quality Finishes

At Bougie Backyard Builds, every structure is finished with the same care and attention to detail that goes into its construction. We prime all of our builds with a high-quality oil-based primer and finish them with premium paint from our local friends at Sherwin-Williams. With access to the full Sherwin-Williams color line, we can paint your build in any color you choose, ensuring it perfectly complements your property. Using professional-grade sprayers, we thoroughly coat every surface for a smooth, even finish that not only looks amazing but also provides the best durability against the elements.

Every Detail Matters

Every Bougie Backyard Builds structure is topped with quality metal roofing from the amazing folks at Goldin Metals in Lafayette, ensuring strength, durability, and long-lasting protection. But we don’t stop at the roof—we believe every detail matters. That’s why we use only the highest quality hardware cloth, dependable door hardware, solar-powered lighting, automatic doors, and more. From top to bottom, inside and out, we choose the best of everything so that each build is not only beautiful, but also secure, functional, and made to last for years to come.
