"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"We were quoted by 3 other contractors and Shiro definitely ended up being the most reasonably priced and also the most professional at the same time. We had a retaining wall and pavers put in with drainage, along with installing an extra propane outlet for a fire pit, and everything went as planned and came out great! Smooth and easy process, would highly recommend Shir and his crew."

"The project went great. Once again the people over at Evo Turf did a great job. The price was great and the customer service was as good as we have ever had. I can honestly say that these guys are the best in the turf and paver business. I will recommend them to my friends and family. Now all we need is a basketball court.... Hopefully soon."

"Amazing job! Del Mar Landscape provided us with a full service operation and they were professional from start to finish. They took our blank canvas yard and turned it into a wonderland. The butterflies and hummingbirds have a new hang out in Del Mar!"

"Very Professional. Always on time. Cleaned up everyday. Work was of the highest quality. Always polite. Work was done during the Corona Pandemic (after the state allowed this type of work) and workers always wore face masks and socially distanced. Would definitely use Coastal Contracting and Brennon again."

"From start to finish, Evergreen Kitchen Remodeling in Carlsbad exceeded our expectations. The kitchen came out very modern, with impeccable finishes. Barak was extremely communicative, very knowledgeable, and handled the entire permitting process from A to Z, which gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommended."

Outdoor Kitchens FAQs, answered by experts

Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.

Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.

Quartz countertops are not recommended for outdoor use. While durable indoors, they are not designed to withstand outdoor conditions like sunlight, weather, and high heat from barbeque grills. Exposure to these elements, particularly UV rays, can cause the resins in the quartz to break down, leading to discoloration and damage to the surface. For a longer-lasting outdoor countertop, it is better to choose a natural stone like granite, which has greater resistance to these elements.

An outdoor fireplace can add value to your home, with an estimated return on investment (ROI) of 56%. This luxurious outdoor feature will certainly appeal to buyers when the time comes to sell. And, of course, if you aren’t in the market, an outdoor fireplace will increase the livability of your home.

A few materials are most commonly used when it comes to building a frame for an outdoor kitchen: wood, steel, and concrete or brick. While there’s no best option overall, each material is better suited to different needs. Concrete and brick are typically more customizable than other options, but aren’t as resistant to inclement weather as steel. Wood is the most affordable pick, but it is more susceptible to rot, mildew, and heat than the others.

Whether you need permits for an outdoor kitchen depends on the project's scope and local regulations. In many cases, permits are required, particularly for permanent structures with a foundation or when running utility lines for gas, plumbing, or electricity. Simpler, non-permanent setups may not require them. Building permits for an outdoor kitchen typically cost between $250 and $500, but can be as much as $2,000 for larger projects. Separate permits for utility lines may add an additional $75 to $200. Since requirements vary by municipality, it's best to consult a professional outdoor kitchen contractor to confirm the specific permits needed for your project.
