"We all want to live in Maine to be able to enjoy the serenity and beauty. Resonant Landscapes knows how to capture those valuable aspects for the home owner. With my property, they kept the best of what was established and made it so much better. There is now a minimum of maintenance with all the natural beauty being exposed. The knowledgeable team is very easy to work with, always answer questions and keep to to a schedule. I have had gardeners in Maine for over thirty years; and these guys are absolutely the best."

"We just can't say enough in praise of John Cole of Backdraft Custom Build. Our experience with him was excellent and wholly successful. He arrived on time, he worked hard, he worked quickly and with confidence that experience brings. He has all the tools and he knows how to use them. No matter what curves the job presents, he knows how to navigate them. He quotes a price the average working family can afford, and he sticks to it. He's a nice guy, he's polite and easy to get along with. He makes the entire process a breeze for the customer. My wife and I were stressed out about our project. We worried about price, materials, time and having a stranger in our home. But these worries disintegrated with the professional service John provided. These days a lot of contractors have the "you need me more than I need you" attitude, and the bloated price tag to go with it. We are so happy to report none of that with Backdraft Custom Build. We have found our "go to" contractor and we will give him all our work projects moving forward. We'll never call any other builder again. Does your family have a building project you need done? We are proud to wholeheartedly recommend this talented craftsman to all our friends and neighbors. You will be delighted with John Cole from Backdraft Custom Build! Aston & Jaden Wright New Vineyard, Maine"

Outdoor Kitchens FAQs, answered by experts

Weatherproofing and winterizing your outdoor kitchen is extremely important, especially if you experience intense weather events. Make sure to choose weather-resistant furniture and waterproof containers to store ingredients. Also, go with a high-quality grill that’s built to last and protect your cabinets with sealant or varnish. Finally, invest in a covering of some kind for when it rains or snows.

If you plan to have a refrigerator or other appliances that require electricity, you will need an electrical outlet in your outdoor kitchen. Be sure to comply with all National Electrical Code® (NEC®) codes for electrical wiring and outlets in kitchens. If you do not plan to install a refrigerator or any other appliances that require electricity as part of your outdoor kitchen features, then you do not need to install electrical outlets. However, it is a good idea to install at least one electrical outlet should you decide to use any appliances that require electricity.

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.”

No. Placing a built-in grill against the house is discouraged due to safety concerns. Building codes and regulations often require a minimum distance (typically 10 feet or more) between a gas grill and any combustible structure, including a house. Placing a grill too close poses a fire hazard and risks damage to the siding or structure, potentially leading to carbon monoxide buildup. It's essential to consult local building codes, follow manufacturer guidelines, and prioritize safety by positioning the grill at a safe distance, ideally in a well-ventilated outdoor kitchen or designated grill area.

There are several ways to save money and keep costs down when building an outdoor kitchen. Building on an existing patio can reduce the cost of a new foundation, especially if it's close to the house. You can also save on utility line installation by opting out of a sink and using a built-in propane or charcoal grill. If you have the skills, tackling parts of the project yourself—like building or finishing cabinets, installing fixtures, and constructing seating—can lead to significant savings. Reusing appliances you already have is another great way to cut costs. Finally, consider starting small with just the essential components and adding more features over time as your budget allows.
