Finally, The Space You've Been Picturing

You’ve been thinking about it for months. Maybe years. That perfect outdoor kitchen where you can grill without missing conversations, where cleanup doesn’t mean shuttling back and forth to the house, where your backyard becomes the place everyone wants to gather.

The right outdoor kitchen installation changes how you use your entire property. No more cramped indoor cooking during summer parties. No more missing the sunset because you’re stuck inside prepping dinner. No more wishing you had a space that actually worked for how you want to live.

When it’s done right, your outdoor cooking area becomes the natural center of your home. It’s where Saturday morning coffee tastes better, where weeknight dinners feel like mini-vacations, and where your kids will remember learning to flip their first burger.

Saint Davids Outdoor Kitchen Builders

We Build What We'd Want In Our Own Backyards

We’ve been creating outdoor living spaces throughout the Main Line for over two decades. We’re not the contractors who disappear for weeks or leave you guessing about timelines.

We know Saint Davids. We understand the local building requirements, the soil conditions, and what materials actually hold up to our winters. Most importantly, we know that your outdoor kitchen needs to work with your existing landscape and home architecture.

You’re not just getting builders. You’re working with neighbors who have to drive past your house and want to be proud of what we created together.

Outdoor Kitchen Design Process

Here's Exactly How Your Project Unfolds

First, we sit down in your backyard and actually listen. Not just to what you want, but how you cook, how you entertain, and what’s frustrated you about your current setup. We measure everything, check utility locations, and discuss your timeline and budget honestly.

Then we create a detailed design that shows you exactly what your space will look like. No surprises, no “figuring it out as we go.” You’ll see material choices, appliance placement, and how everything connects before we break ground.

Construction starts with proper permits and utility planning. We handle gas lines, electrical, and plumbing through licensed professionals. The hardscape and structure go in first, followed by appliance installation and finishing work. Throughout the process, you know what’s happening each day and when to expect completion.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

Your outdoor kitchen remodel includes complete design, permitting, and construction management. We handle the gas lines, electrical connections, and plumbing rough-in through our licensed partners. The hardscape foundation, countertops, and appliance installation are all coordinated so nothing gets damaged or delayed.

We work with the appliance brands that actually perform outdoors – not indoor equipment that looks good in showrooms but fails after one winter. Your countertops are selected for durability and maintenance, not just appearance. Storage solutions are designed to keep everything dry and accessible.

Most Saint Davids projects include integration with existing patios, decking, or landscape features. We’re not just dropping a kitchen into your yard – we’re creating a cohesive outdoor living space that feels intentional and flows naturally with how you already use your property.

Most custom outdoor kitchens take 2-4 weeks from groundbreaking to completion, depending on complexity and weather. Simple installations with basic appliances and straightforward utility connections can be finished in 10-14 days. More elaborate designs with custom stonework, multiple appliances, or challenging utility runs may take 4-6 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during design and keep you updated on any changes. Weather delays are the most common issue – we won’t pour concrete or install appliances in freezing temperatures or heavy rain.
Stainless steel appliances rated for outdoor use handle our winters best, but quality varies dramatically between brands. We recommend built-in grills from Weber, Lynx, or Fire Magic – they’re designed for temperature swings and moisture. Avoid “outdoor” appliances that are just indoor units in weather-resistant housing. For refrigeration, look for units with proper insulation and drainage. Side burners and pizza ovens need adequate ventilation and weather protection. We help you choose appliances that match your cooking style and budget while ensuring they’ll perform reliably for years.
Yes, most outdoor kitchen projects require permits, especially when adding gas lines, electrical connections, or permanent structures. Saint Davids follows Radnor Township building codes, which require permits for any gas appliance installation and electrical work. Plumbing permits are needed if you’re adding a sink or ice maker. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks and costs $200-500 depending on project scope. Skipping permits can create problems when selling your home or filing insurance claims.
Custom outdoor kitchens in Saint Davids typically range from $15,000 for basic setups to $50,000+ for elaborate designs with premium appliances. A mid-range installation with quality grill, side burner, refrigerator, and stone countertops usually costs $25,000-35,000. Costs depend on appliance choices, countertop materials, utility complexity, and site preparation needs. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your space and discussing your priorities. Financing options are available, and remember that quality outdoor kitchens typically return 70-80% of their cost in added home value.
The ideal location balances convenience, safety, and enjoyment. You want easy access to your indoor kitchen for prep and cleanup, but enough distance to keep smoke and heat away from windows and seating areas. Consider prevailing winds, sun exposure, and sight lines to where guests typically gather. Utility access is crucial – running gas lines or electrical across your entire yard gets expensive quickly. We evaluate your property’s layout, existing utilities, and how you use your outdoor space to recommend the optimal location that works with your lifestyle and budget.
Regular maintenance keeps your outdoor kitchen looking great and functioning properly. Clean grill grates and grease traps after each use to prevent buildup and pest issues. Wipe down stainless steel surfaces weekly with appropriate cleaners to prevent water spots and corrosion. Cover appliances during winter or extended periods of non-use. Check gas connections annually and clean out any debris from ventilation areas. Stone countertops may need periodic sealing depending on the material. We provide specific maintenance guidelines for your appliances and materials, plus recommendations for local service providers when professional maintenance is needed.
