Broomall Outdoor Kitchen Builders

We Build What We'd Want

Spennato Landscaping has been transforming Broomall backyards for years, and outdoor kitchens have become one of the most rewarding projects we take on. There’s something satisfying about seeing a family use their new space for the first time.

We’ve learned what works in Pennsylvania’s climate and what doesn’t. We know which materials hold up through freeze-thaw cycles and which ones cause headaches down the road. More importantly, we understand how to design outdoor kitchens that actually get used, not just admired.

Our team handles everything from initial design through final cleanup, working with local suppliers and contractors we trust. When you’re investing this much in your home, you want people who treat it like their own.

Outdoor Kitchen Design Process

Here's How Your Project Unfolds

First, we come out to see your space and understand how you actually want to use it. This isn’t about selling you the biggest, most expensive option – it’s about designing something that fits your lifestyle and budget.

Next comes the design phase where we work out the details: where utilities need to run, how the kitchen integrates with your existing patio or deck, what appliances make sense for your cooking style. We handle permit applications and coordinate with utility companies so you don’t have to.

Construction starts with the foundation and utility rough-ins, then moves through framing, installation of appliances and countertops, and finishing work. We clean up as we go and walk you through everything when it’s complete. Most projects take 2-3 weeks from start to finish, depending on complexity and weather.

Outdoor Cooking Area Construction

What Goes Into Your Kitchen

Every outdoor kitchen we build includes proper foundation work designed for Pennsylvania’s soil conditions and climate. Gas lines, electrical, and plumbing are run according to local codes with all necessary permits and inspections.

Counter surfaces are chosen based on how you cook and how much maintenance you want to deal with. Storage solutions are designed to keep everything you need close at hand while protecting it from weather. We integrate lighting so you can cook safely after dark and add electrical outlets where they actually make sense.

The goal is creating a space that works as well as your indoor kitchen but takes advantage of being outside. That means thinking through details like wind direction, drainage, and how the kitchen connects to your existing outdoor spaces. When it’s done right, it feels like a natural extension of your home.

Outdoor kitchen costs vary significantly based on size, appliances, and materials, typically ranging from $15,000 for a basic setup to $50,000+ for fully equipped kitchens with premium finishes. The biggest cost factors are appliances, countertop materials, and utility connections. A basic outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill, small refrigerator, and concrete counters starts around $15,000-20,000. Mid-range projects with stainless steel appliances, stone counters, and storage run $25,000-35,000. High-end installations with commercial-grade appliances, natural stone, and extensive storage can exceed $50,000. The best approach is getting a detailed estimate based on your specific space and needs.
Most outdoor kitchens in Broomall require building permits, especially when adding electrical, gas, or plumbing connections. You’ll typically need permits for any permanent structures, utility connections, and installations over a certain value threshold. Gas line installations always require permits and inspections for safety reasons. Electrical work needs permits when adding new circuits or outlets. Some communities also require setback approvals depending on your property lines. The permit process usually takes 2-3 weeks and costs a few hundred dollars. Professional contractors handle permit applications and know local requirements, which saves time and ensures everything meets code from the start.
Properly built outdoor kitchens handle Pennsylvania winters well when designed with climate in mind. The key is using materials that withstand freeze-thaw cycles and having proper drainage to prevent ice damage. Stone and concrete surfaces perform better than tile in cold climates. Stainless steel appliances are designed for outdoor use and handle temperature swings without issues. Most appliances should be winterized by shutting off gas and water lines and covering equipment. Built-in grills and refrigerators are made to handle weather, but covers extend their lifespan. Proper foundation work prevents frost heaving, and quality construction means your kitchen will look and function like new come spring.
Yes, most outdoor kitchens work best when integrated with existing outdoor spaces rather than built as standalone structures. Existing patios provide an excellent foundation if they’re structurally sound and properly sized. Decks can support outdoor kitchens when reinforced appropriately for the additional weight. The key is evaluating your current space during the design phase to determine what modifications are needed. Sometimes this means extending a patio, reinforcing a deck, or creating transitions between different levels. Integration also involves matching materials and styles so the kitchen feels like part of your original outdoor space, not an afterthought. This approach typically costs less than building from scratch and creates better flow for entertaining.
The best outdoor kitchen appliances depend on how you actually cook and entertain. Most people start with a quality built-in grill as the centerpiece, then add a small refrigerator for drinks and ingredients. Side burners are incredibly useful for sauces, sides, and boiling water. Storage drawers keep utensils and supplies handy. Beyond basics, consider your cooking style: pizza ovens for bread and pizza lovers, smokers for barbecue enthusiasts, ice makers for frequent entertainers. Sinks are convenient but require plumbing and drainage. The mistake many people make is over-building with appliances they’ll rarely use. Start with essentials and add specialty items that match your actual cooking habits. Quality matters more than quantity with outdoor appliances.
Most outdoor kitchen projects in Broomall take 2-4 weeks from construction start to completion, depending on size and complexity. Simple installations on existing patios can be done in 1-2 weeks. More complex projects requiring new foundations, extensive utility work, or custom stonework take 3-4 weeks. Weather can extend timelines during winter months or rainy periods. The permit approval process adds 2-3 weeks before construction begins. Timeline factors include utility connections (gas and electrical rough-ins take a few days), concrete curing time (7-10 days), and appliance delivery schedules. Most contractors provide detailed timelines during the planning phase and communicate any delays promptly. Planning projects for late spring through early fall typically provides the most predictable schedules.
