Cook outside. Stay outside.
No more running back and forth to the indoor kitchen with raw chicken. A real outdoor kitchen puts the grill, prep space, and cold drinks where the party is — built with materials that laugh at Houston weather.
Grill islands
A built-in gas grill set in stone veneer or stucco with counter space on both sides — the core of every outdoor kitchen. We plan ventilation clearances and gas lines to code from day one.
Bars & seating
A raised bar with proper overhang turns the cook into the host — guests gather, drinks stay close, and nobody is underfoot. Weatherproof bar stools complete it.
Pizza ovens & smokers
A wood-fired pizza oven is the ultimate backyard flex — ninety-second pizzas and a gathering point. Dedicated smokers and kamado cookers get their own stations with heat-safe surrounds.
Sinks, fridges & storage
A prep sink with running water, an outdoor-rated fridge, and sealed storage for tools and pellets make it a kitchen, not a grill on a patio. We run water, gas, and electric in one coordinated rough-in.
Covers & weather protection
Houston sun and sudden storms are brutal on outdoor kitchens. A patio cover or pergola overhead protects appliances and cooks alike, and quality covers protect the investment between cookouts.

Caring for your investment
Cover grills and soft goods between uses, clean stainless with the grain, empty and cover the pizza oven, and shut off and drain exterior water lines before a hard freeze.
Questions, answered
Gas or charcoal?
Gas for weeknight convenience, charcoal or wood for flavor weekends — many outdoor kitchens run both. We’ll set up gas lines and leave room for your charcoal rig.
What utilities does an outdoor kitchen need?
Usually gas, water, and electric — we trench and run everything in one coordinated rough-in, permitted and inspected.
How do I protect it from Houston weather?
An overhead cover, outdoor-rated appliances, and quality covers. We also plan drainage so storms never pool around the base.
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
Depends on size, appliances, and utilities. A simple grill island and a full kitchen with pizza oven are different projects — a consultation prices yours exactly.
