What We Build

Real kitchens. Outdoor materials. Six-month season.

The trick to outdoor kitchens in Ontario isn't appliances — it's materials. Wrong surface, wrong stone, wrong cabinet, and the whole thing falls apart by year three. We use stainless, porcelain, and engineered stone rated for freeze-thaw cycles.

  • Built-in BBQ islands (Napoleon, Weber, DCS, Lynx)
  • Wood-fired and gas pizza ovens
  • Side burners, griddles, smokers
  • Stainless outdoor cabinets and drawers
  • Refrigerator, ice maker, kegerator integration
  • Bar seating with overhang
  • Outdoor sink with hot/cold water and drain
  • Concrete, porcelain or granite countertops
  • TSSA gas line + winterization shutoffs

FAQ

Outdoor kitchen questions

No. Indoor cabinets — even "outdoor-style" wood ones — will warp, swell, and fail within 2 years. We use marine-grade stainless or solid masonry construction only.

Dekton or porcelain slab in 2026. Granite chips and stains; quartz softens in UV. Dekton is engineered for outdoor use — UV stable, freeze-thaw rated, 25-year warranty.

Natural gas line every time if possible — never run out, no tank swapping. Propane works if your home has no gas service, but plan storage for the tank. TSSA permits required either way.

Yes — hot and cold supply lines with a winterization shutoff. We tie into the home's plumbing and install a drain line to either a French drain or grey-water connection. Must be drained before first freeze.

Grill-only setups: year-round. Kitchens with water lines: winterized in November, re-opened in April. Under a covered/louvered pergola, useable on most days down to about -5°C.
