FAQs

Quick answers to common questions.

Absolutely. We regularly design custom outdoor kitchens that incorporate your existing grill or appliances. Provide us with your grill's model number and dimensions, and we'll create cutouts sized precisely for your equipment. We'll also ensure proper ventilation clearances, access to connections, and appropriate counter space around your grill. This approach allows you to keep quality appliances you already own while upgrading to a complete built-in outdoor kitchen system.
Yes, functional layout design is our priority for every outdoor kitchen project. We consider the 'kitchen triangle' concept (grill, prep area, serving space), proximity to your indoor kitchen for convenience, entertainment flow with appropriate guest interaction zones, wind patterns to prevent smoke from blowing toward seating areas, and utility locations to minimize plumbing and gas line runs. During your consultation, we'll assess your outdoor space and create detailed layout drawings showing appliance placement, counter space allocation, and traffic flow patterns.
For El Paso's climate with intense UV exposure and temperature extremes, we recommend granite for natural beauty, heat resistance, and durability (requires periodic sealing); concrete for customizable colors and shapes, excellent heat tolerance, and modern aesthetic; or porcelain tile for affordability, wide design options, and good weather resistance. We advise against laminate countertops outdoors as they don't withstand weather exposure well. Your countertop choice depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and maintenance willingness.
Yes, we can incorporate outdoor sinks into your kitchen design. This requires extending water supply and drainage from your home's plumbing system. Considerations include preventing freeze damage during El Paso's occasional freezing temperatures with proper insulation and shut-off valves, proper drainage to code-compliant drainage systems, and access to utilities with reasonable distance from your home for cost-effective installation. Outdoor sinks greatly enhance functionality for food prep and cleanup, though they add complexity and cost to outdoor kitchen projects.
Outdoor kitchens typically require building permits in El Paso, especially for gas line installation (natural gas or propane), electrical work (new circuits or outlets), plumbing additions (water supply and drainage), and permanent structural modifications. We coordinate all necessary permits as part of our outdoor kitchen service, ensuring your project meets local building codes and safety requirements. Proper permitting protects your investment and prevents complications with future home sales or insurance claims.
