"I hired Fabian and Unique Landscaping to install a new paver patio, fire pit, seating wall, pergola, outdoor lighting, outdoor sound system, and water feature. The results exceeded my expectations. The process from beginning to end was great as Fabian had great communication throughout the project. Fabian and his crew worked hard and the results showed. I was completely satisfied with the process and end result. I highly recommend Fabian and Unique for your next hardscaping project."

"The owner Marc and his team at M&E were amazing. Beautiful work, attention to detail and outstanding customer service. I never thought hiring a contractor would work out so well. On budget, on time and super helpful in every way. Besides two bathrooms, they also did our kitchen in 2022. All our friends tell us they're jealous of our beautiful home now! Guess they should have hired M&E like we did."

Customers say: Quick response

"JCB does excellent work, they are quality craftsmen. They do the work quickly but thoroughly. Jack is one of the most trustworthy person that I have found in the building/service industry. Jack will problem-solve and guide us as needed but never "up-sells" unnecessarily. And JCB is a full-service contractor. Recently, they painted, replaced all the rotting wood on the exterior of our house, among other things. In the past, they have replaced a wall damaged by a water leak, refinished our basement and painted the entire interior of our house. I trust them implicitly."

"These guys are amazing!! Don't even bother with other companies. Complete professionalism and knowledgeable. The closest I got to having my outdoor living area was going to my mom and dads. My parents were right, Pete and his care did a great job. Not only did they build on outside kitchen they built a fire pit area separate from the kitchen area. I kind of look forward to those winter nights now. Thank you and your guys Pete. I love it"

Outdoor Kitchens FAQs, answered by experts

Silestone® isn’t recommended for outdoor use because UV rays can damage the surface. Long-term exposure to direct sunlight can cause discoloration. Instead, choose an outdoor-friendly countertop material like tile, concrete, stainless steel, or natural stone. If you do choose a natural stone, make sure you either seal it or avoid highly porous stones. For example, choose soapstone over marble.

Most projects take 2-6 weeks, depending on design complexity and weather conditions.

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.

The difference between a built-in and regular grill is installation and design. A built-in grill is integrated into an outdoor kitchen or structure, often within a countertop or island. It is a permanent fixture. A regular grill is standalone, portable, or cart-mounted, allowing mobility and versatility in placement. Built-in grills are typically larger with more cooking space, while regular grills come in various sizes. Built-in grills are favored for creating a custom outdoor cooking area, while regular grills provide convenience and flexibility.

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.
