"Pierre construction is Awesome!!! If you’re looking to have someone to do your next project, look no further. I spent quite a bit of time interviewing and getting quotes for a major 2 story deck project for my house which included some intense structural improvements to my house as well, since some of the existing columns where in tough shape. I’m so glad that I picked Dave Pierre and his great crew to do this for me! Dave’s price was very reasonable and he was very much on top of all details. He bent over backwards to make sure that I was happy with every step of the project. His crew of over 12 years was also very skilled and often had discussions about challenges to make sure the details where the best that they could be before proceeding on the the next phases. As you can see from the attached video of the 2nd floor, the results are fantastic and I’m enjoying my new space immensely. "

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.
