It all started with a trip to the Azores of Portugal. RTA's co-founder went there to meet his wife's family… And had his first encounter with an outdoor kitchen. The charm of that kitchen went far beyond providing meals. It served as an inviting gathering space, and offered moments to break bread together. \n \nThe inspiration from that outdoor kitchen was bottled up and shipped back to the US. Unfortunately, there was a lack of accessible options in America in the early 2010's. Someone needed to rethink the conventional approach of construction. Thus began the journey, with a goal of remastering the outdoor kitchen.

"There are not enough stars for me to express my satisfaction with this business. They provided extremely thorough and well done work at a compassionate price for my mother who is a senior citizen on a fixed income and experienced a catastrophic issue with every inch of the plumbing in her home. They have been friendly and accommodating and available for subsequent issues not related to the work they did initially. It is rare to have a business express their appreciation that you chose them and that they look forward to your business in the future. I am impressed beyond words."

"We had our kitchen done but didnâ  t do any cabinetry which meant sticking to the layout and dimensions we had. They did the tiling, counter, backsplash and paint. They stuck to the budget we had discussed. The kitchen looks completely new so their hard work paid off and we love our new kitchen! We were so pleased with the results."

"I've never written a review before this one, but I'm so happy with my experience I had to share. I had to do a complete remodel on our new home. This was so overwhelming dealing with the different contractors. I had my new neighbor recommend Paramount Masonry to do my tile work in both baths and kitchen. They were prompt in coming out to give me a quote for the job and were very good at their jobs. Highly professional, and knowledgeable. and so friendly. They gave me several different design options we weren't aware of within my price range, so I was able to choose the design I wanted and it looks amazing! The job wasn't very large but it was tedious. Great care was taken to get it all done to perfection and ahead of schedule (which was a bonus). I recommended them to a friend who is just as happy with they work as I am. #onehappycustomer"

Outdoor Kitchens FAQs, answered by experts

You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.

Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it’s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case—and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case.

The best types of wood for outdoor kitchen cabinets are those naturally resistant to weather, water, heat, fading, and mold or mildew. Excellent choices include teak, mahogany, white oak, and Brazilian walnut. It's best to avoid softwoods like pine and cedar, as they are more susceptible to damage and can catch fire easily. For extra protection, ensure the wood is pressure-treated. Regardless of the wood you choose, you will need to apply sealants, oils, and stains regularly to protect your cabinets from the elements.

You can call a second kitchen many different names—butler’s pantry, scullery, prep kitchen, working kitchen, dirty kitchen, or even just second kitchen. In modern times, however, second kitchens are almost always called prep kitchens or small kitchens. However, the purpose of a second kitchen remains the same—prepare food and clean items “behind closed doors.”

The decision to build or buy an outdoor pizza oven depends on your personal preferences, budget, and time. Whether building is cheaper hinges on the style you choose and the tools and materials you already possess. For example, having a surplus of fire bricks from a previous project can significantly reduce costs. However, if you need to purchase all the required materials, buying a pre-made oven is often the more affordable and less labor-intensive option, with prices for quality versions typically ranging from $300 to $1,000. Keep in mind that while a DIY project can be cheaper than hiring a professional for a custom build, it carries the risk of injury or costly construction errors.
