Q: What do you call a second kitchen?

• <div><p>You can call a second kitchen many different names&mdash;butler&rsquo;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&mdash;prepare food and clean items &ldquo;behind closed doors.&rdquo;</p></div>

Q: Does outdoor living add value to a home?

• <div><p>In most cases, yes, an outdoor living space adds value to your home. The trick to your best return on investment is to choose high-quality building materials that will look nice and durable without crossing the line into total luxury that becomes cost-ineffective. For example, there&rsquo;s no need to install marble tiles around your pool, but a durable and aesthetically pleasing deck will go a long way.</p></div>

Q: Do you need planning permission for an outdoor kitchen?

• <div><p>In many cases, you will not need permits to install an outdoor kitchen because it&rsquo;s not usually considered a permanent structure and doesn&rsquo;t require a foundation. If you run natural gas lines to a grill, plumbing lines to an outdoor sink, or electrical lines for lighting and power, your contractor will likely need to pull permits.</p><p>However, every municipality is different, so you should defer to a professional outdoor kitchen contractor to confirm which portions of your outdoor kitchen project require building permits.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to know exactly what I want before hiring an outdoor kitchen contractor?

• <div><p>No, even if you have a vague idea of what you want, it&rsquo;s a good idea to reach out to a contractor that specializes in outdoor kitchens for assistance. Professionals who have constructed kitchens for other homeowners can not only help you think about the functionality and convenience of your outdoor space&mdash;which many homeowners neglect&mdash;but they can also help you choose high-quality, durable materials that meet your budget and match the rest of your outdoor space. In fact, it&rsquo;s often better to contact a contractor and get the ball rolling before you have a solidified plan for your outdoor kitchen.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to build an outdoor kitchen?

• <div><p>While it is possible to do this kind of project at any point in the year, save it for the mildest parts of winter if you can. That way, your backyard won&rsquo;t be under construction during prime grilling season. Plus, contractors tend to be less busy on outdoor projects then, so you might get a better deal and the installation might take less time.</p></div>
