The service

The island is the whole point

A great backyard cookout should not run on a wobbly cart. We specialize in outdoor kitchens, and the heart of every one is our own metalwork. We fabricate the island and firepit from steel by hand, so it is sized to your grill and your space instead of forced from a kit.

From a compact island to a full cook and serve run with bar seating, we handle the masonry, gas, water, and power, and finish it in stone and stucco that shrugs off sun and weather. Metalwork and carpentry are done in house, and we bring in our trusted local trades for the plumbing and electrical runs.

Good questions

Outdoor kitchens, answered.

Do you build the islands yourselves?

Yes, and it is the heart of what we do. Our custom BBQ islands and firepits are fabricated from steel in our own shop, so each one is sized to your grill and your space instead of forced from a kit.

Can you design the whole outdoor kitchen?

Absolutely. We start with the design, from 3D renderings to construction ready drawings, then build the island, counters, storage, and seating as one coordinated project.

Can you run a gas line to the island?

Yes. Gas, water, and power runs are part of the build, handled with our trusted local trades and permitted and inspected as part of the job.

Which grill brands do you build around?

Any built in unit you choose. We size the island to the spec sheet so your grill, burners, and fridge fit like the island grew around them.

What does an outdoor kitchen cost?

Every build is different, so we skip the vague ballparks that balloon later. After a free visit you get a fixed written price for the full scope, and you approve it before any work begins.

What finishes can the island have?

Masonry cores wrapped in outdoor rated stone, stucco, or tile, with hardware chosen for weather, so it shrugs off sun and rain and still looks right in year ten.

Can you add a firepit or fire feature too?

Yes. Custom firepits and fire features are fabricated in house alongside the island, so the whole cook and gather space is designed and finished to match.
