Our story

Ardor Custom Designs was started by Josh & Kendra Wilmot, a husband-wife duo located in Southern Idaho. Josh started ACD as a painting company in 2016. With the support and referrals from a base of loyal customers, it quickly grew into more than just painting and expanded to include remodeling as well.

In 2020 Kendra began working full-time for Ardor and brought with her, her interior design expertise and the company once again expanded its services.

Ardor Custom Designs is now a full-service Interior Design Build company offering our clients the ability to come to one place that can handle everything from concept through completion of any home project.

Each one of our team is commited to quality craftsmanship, delivering what we promise and creating an enjoyable and memorable experience for our clients!

Josh Wilmot

Josh is a master craftsman whose passion for construction runs generations deep.

Josh grew up immersed in the world of construction, learning the trade from his grandfather and parents, who instilled in him a simple but lasting principle: “Do what you do and do it well.” That early foundation shaped a career defined by skill, integrity, and attention to detail.

With a degree in business management and decades of hands-on experience, Josh has become a trusted expert in home remodeling. He’s overseen projects of every scale, drawing on deep practical knowledge to ensure every job is completed right the first time.

Clients count on his ability to navigate challenges, deliver on promises, and transform ideas into finished spaces that feel both functional and personal.

She believes that every home’s style should be shaped by the client’s tastes and needs, not just current trends or cookie-cutter designs.
