Built-in grills, counters, sinks and refrigerators under a pergola or roof, so cooking and entertaining happen in one place.
An outdoor kitchen turns a patio into the place where everyone wants to be. The cook stays part of the party, the house stays cooler and meals taste better with a little smoke in the air. Under a pergola or a roof, the kitchen is shaded, sheltered and ready in any season.
We design and build grill islands and full kitchens with durable frames, stone or tile counters and cabinets made for the weather. We plan gas, water, drains and power with the right trades, set the layout for safe cooking and good traffic flow and add shade and ventilation overhead so the space is comfortable and safe.
A good outdoor kitchen has a clear cooking zone, a prep zone and a serving zone. We arrange grill, counter, sink and fridge so one cook can work easily and guests can gather without crowding.
Frames can be steel studs or masonry, finished with stone veneer, stucco or tile. Granite, concrete and porcelain counters handle heat, rain and sun.
Gas lines, water, drains and outlets need careful planning and qualified trades. We coordinate them so permits and inspections go smoothly.
A roof or pergola over the kitchen gives shade and shelter. Fire safety clearances and smoke movement are planned into the structure.
