Stop cooking inside when it's 90 degrees out. We build outdoor kitchens that make you the neighborhood hero. We're talking built-in grills, pizza ovens, fridges, and bar seating, all wrapped in beautiful stone masonry.
Not looking for a full kitchen? A simple stone fire pit is the best bang-for-your-buck upgrade you can make. It extends your patio season by three months. Marshmallows in November? You bet.
Common Issues We Fix
These are common problems we review during scope planning. We flag root causes, not just symptoms, and explain what drives cost or risk. If your issue is not listed, we will assess it during inspection.
Cheap Kits
Replacing rusted metal fire pits from big box stores with solid stone.
Lack of Counter Space
Building prep areas next to the grill so you aren't running inside.
Entertaining
Creating a gathering spot for parties.
Weather Wear
Fixing surfaces that fail because they weren't built for freeze-thaw.
What the inspection covers
We review the visible condition, likely moisture or safety concerns, access, and the work needed to address the problem. The estimate separates recommended work from optional improvements.
Safety and site planning
We review access, prep, containment, and permit or inspection questions during scope review.
- PPE, fall protection, scaffold/ladder safety where the work requires it.
- Permit and inspection needs identified before scheduling.
- HEPA dust control where indoor or occupied areas.
- Project-specific safety and condition checks are confirmed during scope review.
Price planning
Pricing depends on access, materials, damage, and the final project scope.
The written estimate confirms the price after the condition and scope are reviewed.
- Common add-ons: access/scaffolding, premium materials, complex detailing, unforeseen rot/damage.
- Onsite inspection required before any final proposal.
Project checklist
These are common planning items we review so the estimate matches the site conditions.
- Protection: tarps, coverings, safe staging.
- Cleanup and debris handling expectations.
- Photo updates when useful for the project.
