Property Maintenance & Renovation Contractor. Services available include but, are not limited to: new builds, remodeling/renovation, all types of carpentry & any job involved in the maintenance of residential properties, landscaping/lawn maintenance, and custom stone work.

"Zeb Snow's company, Snowscapes, has done extensive work on our home in Colchester, VT. He and his team did an amazing job completely remodeling our kitchen and bathroom. The house was truly transformed after Zeb and his team were done. Zeb provided an accurate quote and exact timeframe for the project which was so helpful! This was our first home renovation project so we appreciated Zeb's insight and professional expertise. When we put our home on the market a couple years later, it quickly sold for our desired price largely due to the high quality remodel which was commented upon by real estate agents and the home buyer. In addition to the remodeling jobs, Zeb also helped us with substantial structural fixes. He is our go-to contractor!"

Outdoor Kitchens questions, answered by experts

In most cases, an outdoor kitchen will significantly increase your property value. Outdoor kitchens beautify your yard and add utility to it, not only for you to enjoy but also to entice buyers to offer more for your home. Opting for higher-quality materials and a professional installation will make a big difference in terms of the return on investment from your outdoor kitchen installation. The only exception is if your outdoor kitchen takes up a large portion of your yard, which could be seen as a drawback to some people.

Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it’s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case—and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case.

In most cases, you will need building permits for an outdoor kitchen. Generally speaking, you’ll need building permits for anything with a permanent foundation, and since outdoor kitchens typically require a concrete foundation, they demand building permits. Outdoor kitchen permits usually cost between $250 and $500, but you could pay as much as $2,000 for larger or more involved kitchens. You might also need separate permits to run utility lines to your kitchen, which could add an additional $75 to $200 to your installation cost.

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.

Deciding whether to buy a prebuilt fireplace kit or build one from scratch comes down to aesthetics, available space, and budget. Many homeowners like the convenience and lower cost of prebuilt options—around $1,500—versus the involved planning and construction of a larger fireplace. Another bonus: you can usually move prebuilt units. Custom projects are more common when homeowners have access to a larger budget and more area in the yard to place the fireplace.
