Outdoor Kitchens FAQ
Do outdoor kitchens need permits in San Diego?
Usually, once gas or electrical is involved. We pull the permits and coordinate inspections as part of the job. It protects you at resale, and it's the only way we build.
What surfaces hold up best outdoors?
Masonry block structures with stone or porcelain counters are the durable standard here. Some trendy materials stain or fade in full sun. We'll steer you away from those even when they look great in a showroom.
Can you build around my existing patio or pergola?
Yes, as long as what's underneath is sound. We check that first, and if the existing base isn't worth building on, we tell you before any block gets laid.
How long does an outdoor kitchen take?
Two to four weeks for most builds, including inspection windows. You get the schedule in writing and the same crew from start to finish.
What should I decide before the consultation?
Just how you like to cook and host. Bring your wish list: grill size, side burner, fridge, bar seating. We'll tell you what fits your space and what each choice does to the budget.
