"Additionally, he was suppose to get rid of an overgrowth of weeds on the side of the lawn. He told me when he tried to excavate the weeds he came across an underground pipe which the town had installed. He was afraid that he may cause damage to the pipe , so he said instead of excavating the weeds he would come back and spray weed killer on that area. He has yet to come back and spray that area down. After he installed the lawn, it was pretty much bare. I notice that there was an uneven surface in the lawn that was not properly filled out with topsoil. As a result, water began to settle (stagnant ) on the property whenever it rains. I reached out to the provider, I sent him a photo of what the area looked like. He promise to come back and add more topsoil, he has not been back and now that area is growing moss. I took another photo and send it to the provider explaining to him that it has caused damage on the property , again he told me he would take care of it. Additionally , there are bald spots in the lawn and also an overgrowth of weeds. Again, I brought this to the provider's attention. First he stated he would come back to do a weed and feed. When he did not show up I tried calling him he has not responded or returned my phone call. I texted him letting him know that I was looking forward to him coming over to take care of the issues with my lawn and I haven't seen or heard from him. He texted me back saying he shouldn't have to come back to fix my lawn, since I should have been watering the lawn everyday. My responds was , clearly it is not a watering issue since the lawn is green and full in some areas , while other areas are bald. Initially when we signed the contract he agreed to coming back and re-seed if there were any bald spots."

"Erlin was very easy to work with. He took time to really look at the job in question and provide me with one of the best and most competitive quotes in the area. The materials he used were top notch as was the quality craftsmanship of the work. He was also able to get my project on his schedule super quickly (within a few days) and completed the entire raising of my existing walkway to eliminate a step and a complete resurfacing in stone of the existing cement steps in a single day. Not only was the stone work and masonry completed professionally, but the clean-up of the site was incredible as well. The surrounding lawn area was cleaner than when they showed up for the job. I highly recommend Shkembi Masonry!!!! I would hire them in the future for sure."

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.
