"Strongly suggest you avoid this company. We had David redo our pool last year (retile and paint primarily - appx $20k). In the process of preparing the pool for painting, David?s team damaged the main drain. He never tested it before ordering water to refill the pool so the pool was leaking water as we filled it and we ended up paying over $6k for water AND ran our well dry. He had someone temporarily patch the drain but the fix lasts only 1 year. In addition, the paint he applied began peeling within 2 months. We complained and David came to see the peeling paint and temporary patch and acknowledged he needed to fix it at the end of last season and agreed to do so before this summer. I have been following up with him for months to get a plan in place and while he was initially responsive, he has now ghosted me. He?s not answering calls or emails. Despite having since October to come up with a plan, he?s not communicated a thing. I?m going to be filing suit shortly. AVOID HIM."

Most outdoor kitchen pros finish the actual build in four to six weeks. That window covers framing, flooring, utilities, and appliance installation. Your timeline may stretch if the site needs extra prep, special-order materials, or you hit a busy season for contractors. Remember, planning, permits, and design meetings happen before the clock starts, so budget extra time for those steps.
In cold or wet climates, winterizing is worth the effort. Seal countertops, drain water lines, cover appliances, and ensure that cabinets and fixtures are constructed from weather-resistant materials, such as granite or stainless steel. Adding a roof or pergola helps protect surfaces from snow, rain, and UV rays. A few preventative steps each fall can keep repairs and frustration to a minimum come spring.
Yes—placing the kitchen against the house makes hooking up gas, water, and power simpler and cheaper. Keep anything that emits open flames—such as grills, griddles, and pizza ovens—at least 10 feet away from siding or other combustible materials. Check local fire codes before finalizing the layout so you stay safe and compliant.
You’ll need weather-rated outlets for appliances such as blenders, refrigerators, and lights. Ensure that every receptacle is GFCI-protected to shut off power quickly if moisture seeps in—a code requirement in most areas. A licensed electrician can run wiring, install the boxes, and add covers that stand up to sun and rain.
