From Concept to Cooking in Clear Steps

We start with a site visit to understand your space, how you cook, and what you want to achieve. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a planning session where we measure, assess utilities, and discuss your vision.

Next comes design. We create a layout that makes sense for your cooking style and fits your space properly. You’ll see exactly what goes where before any work begins.

Installation happens in phases. Foundation and utilities first, then appliances and countertops, finishing with final connections and testing. We handle permits and coordinate any utility work needed. You’ll know what’s happening each day and when to expect completion.

What Goes Into a Proper Outdoor Kitchen

Every outdoor kitchen we build includes proper foundation work that won’t shift or settle. Your appliances need level, stable surfaces to function correctly and last.

Utility connections are done right the first time. Gas lines, electrical work, and plumbing all meet code requirements. We coordinate with utility companies when needed and handle permit applications.

Materials matter in Pennsylvania weather. We use outdoor-rated cabinetry, weather-resistant countertops, and appliances designed for outdoor use. Your investment needs to handle freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and everything in between.

Outdoor kitchen costs vary significantly based on size, appliances, and materials chosen. A basic setup with a grill, small prep area, and simple countertop starts around $8,000-12,000. Full outdoor kitchens with multiple appliances, extensive counter space, and premium materials typically range from $15,000-35,000. The investment depends on your cooking needs and space requirements. We provide detailed estimates after seeing your space and understanding what you want to achieve.
Stainless steel appliances rated for outdoor use handle our weather best. Built-in grills, outdoor refrigerators, and side burners designed for exterior installation last longer and perform better than indoor appliances moved outside. We recommend appliances with proper ventilation and drainage features. Brands like Weber, Lynx, and Bull offer reliable outdoor-rated options. Storage solutions need weather sealing to protect items from moisture and temperature changes.
Most outdoor kitchen installations require permits, especially when adding gas lines, electrical connections, or plumbing. Media Township has specific requirements for outdoor structures and utility connections. We handle permit applications and ensure all work meets local building codes. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, which we factor into project timelines. Proper permits protect you and ensure insurance coverage if issues arise later.
Most outdoor kitchen projects take 2-4 weeks from start to finish, depending on complexity and weather. Simple installations with existing utilities nearby move faster. Projects requiring new gas lines, electrical service, or extensive hardscaping take longer. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated on progress. Weather delays happen in Pennsylvania, especially during winter months. Spring through fall offers the most predictable installation conditions.
Outdoor kitchens need regular cleaning and seasonal maintenance to perform well long-term. Stainless steel surfaces require periodic cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain appearance. Appliances need winterization in Pennsylvania – draining water lines and protecting surfaces from freeze damage. Annual inspections of gas connections and electrical components ensure safe operation. We provide maintenance guidelines specific to your appliances and materials chosen.
Yes, with proper design considerations. Wind protection, overhead coverage, and heating elements extend usable seasons significantly. Many homeowners use outdoor kitchens from early spring through late fall. Winter use depends on your comfort level and weather protection installed. Appliances need winterization during extended cold periods to prevent damage. We design outdoor kitchens with seasonal use in mind, ensuring components handle temperature extremes safely.
