English Garden MakeoversJust great. The installer completed the kitchen work first so as not to get outside dirt inside. I love having pure drinking water inset his old house. The exterior work went smoothly as well. He paid attention to my desire to have the equipment hidden and not in view through a window.
Leaf Home Water SolutionsI contacted this contractor to build an outdoor kitchen. A man by the name Abraham looked at the job, told me he will have a bid in a couple of days, and disappeared . I followed up with a text within a week and never got a response. Rude, unreliable from the start. One can only imagine...
Texas Outdoor ProjectsWe hired USA Cabinet Store for a full kitchen remodel, and they were great throughout the whole process. They provided attention to detail, met time constraints, solved any dilemmas in the process, and gave us a beautiful kitchen. Highly recommended!
USA Cabinet StoreProject went very well. John and his team had a very tight deadline to get the outdoor kitchen installed due to a party I had planned. The team went above and beyond to get everything completed. There was a pricing difference from the original estimate due to a materials change.
Arborwood ConstructionThe kitchen looks great. It is an older home and required removal of a load bearing wall. They did it in an efficient and timely manner. The result is a more open home with a beautiful new kitchen. Dan was very upfront with costs and any additional expenses caused by requested plan changes.
A&R Granite did a fabulous job on all of the counter tops throughout our house. We are so pleased with the quality and appearance of the final product. Rusty is highly knowledgeable, experienced, and a pleasure to work with. We approached Rusty with a specific design layout and quartz brand...

"I discovered Home Expert Exterior through your listing. I felt hiring a company through your organization would help eliminate the skepticism in hiring contractors. However, this isn't the case. I entrusted Mario (head of Home Epert Exterior) to complete the concrete project which included the following: framing, digging, pouring. leveling, and replacing any objects that they removed. Upon completion, I noted that they didn't remove the framing from the side of the house, they didn't replace the fence correctly, and left 3 holes in the concrete. I tried contacting his company several times to no avail. I tried messaging also. I don't trust his company coming back out here to do anything else therefore, I am contacting you to get the matter resolved."

"Worst Experience I ever had. This company charged my insurance 16k for repairs aftewintertime. storm. Once they received my money I stopped hearing from them. The work performed was extremely delayed, low quality, and with cheap materials. Please do your research on this company. Over the past 15 years they have changed names multiple times. They have been robbing houston homeowners for years and need to be boycotted. To this day my kitchen is still not complete and it has been almost 6 months. Thank God my damage was minimal ( small amount of drywall, paint, cabinets, and countertops) and my house is still livable. These people have definitely taught me a good lesson about dealing with shady contractors. Do not spend a dime with this company for fall for their sales pitch."

The average cost of an outdoor kitchen is around $15,500. However, since outdoor kitchens are highly customizable, you could spend anywhere from $5,000 to over $50,000 for your setup. Some important factors that can affect your pricing include the size of the kitchen, the materials you use—specifically for the countertop—the type of grill you want, and any add-on products you want coupled with your installation.
No, even if you have a vague idea of what you want, it’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—which many homeowners neglect—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’s often better to contact a contractor and get the ball rolling before you have a solidified plan for your outdoor kitchen.
Yes, outdoor kitchens usually deliver around a 50% ROI in terms of home value. This is lower than some home improvement projects, but combined with the utility you enjoy yourself, most homeowners find it well worth the investment. The specific bump in property value you’ll see from your outdoor kitchen depends on the size and quality, as well as how much usable yard space it takes up.
In many cases, you will not need permits to install an outdoor kitchen because it’s not usually considered a permanent structure and doesn’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.
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.
