"George did an excellent job screening in our large back porch. It wasn't an easy task – he and his team were working with multiple surfaces and materials, unusually large window openings, and some unexpected shortages of supplies due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, George consistently communicated to ask our opinion on several aspects of the project to ensure it met our expectations, including when a screen door was unworkable (due to no fault of his), he quickly procured an alternative and installed the next day. George brought levity and attention to detail to the project, working to make sure everything was accomplished for maximum function and beauty. All this, and the project was completed for a very reasonable price. I would recommend George to anyone looking for a creative, affordable solution to summer mosquitos and maximizing your enjoyment of your outdoor space."

"Woody and Tiba were incredible! They are definitely the jack of all trades. They moved me into a new place and it was not easy. They had to break down furniture, put it back together, fit awkward shaped furniture in small spaces and they did it all with kindness, patience, professionalism and great communication. There was more furniture than expected and their eye for spacial reasoning to get it all to fit in the truck was on point. They were careful with everything. It was the smoothest moving experience I've ever had and I've moved a lot. I highly recommend them for moving or any household project you need. They are knowledgeable about so much!"

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.
