Outdoor Kitchens & Grilling Stations in North Carolina

Cook Outside Without Sacrificing Convenience

Custom Kitchen Setups for Decks & Patios

Our outdoor kitchens are designed for real use—not just show. We build stations with gas, electric, or charcoal grilling options, durable cabinets, sealed countertops, and weather-rated appliances. Need a bar area, fridge, or side burner? We integrate it all. Every system is vented properly and installed with the right materials for fire safety and function on wood or composite surfaces.

More Than Just a Grill on a Deck

Built-In Cooking Stations That Work and Last

We don’t roll in prefab carts—we build from the ground up. Each grilling station is framed with fire-rated materials, faced in stone, brick, or siding to match your home, and topped with non-porous counters like granite or sealed concrete. Gas lines, outlets, and drains are placed for safe, seamless function. It’s a permanent upgrade that cooks as good as it looks.

  • Custom bases for grills, smokers, or pizza ovens

  • Outdoor-rated plumbing and electrical included

  • Durable countertops designed for high-heat use

Smart Layouts for Cooking, Serving & Hosting

Deck Kitchens That Flow With Your Outdoor Space

We design outdoor kitchens around how you live. From L-shaped counters and island cooktops to pass-through bars and under-roof builds, each layout is tailored to your available space and needs. We align prep areas, seating, and cooking zones so your kitchen flows with the rest of your deck or patio—no crowding, no wasted corners.

Safe, Code-Compliant Utility Connections

Licensed Electrical & Gas Work Included

Outdoor kitchens require careful planning, especially with gas lines, outlets, lighting, and water access. Our team includes licensed trades to ensure every connection is secure and passes inspection. From buried propane feeds to weatherproof outlets and GFCI protection, we don’t cut corners. Your kitchen will be safe, legal, and ready to use right away.

Designed for Your Climate and Cooking Style

Materials That Handle Heat, Humidity & Use

North Carolina weather brings heat, rain, and temperature swings—and your outdoor kitchen has to handle it all. We use stainless steel components, sealed stone, marine-grade cabinets, and UV-stable finishes to protect your setup. Whether you’re a weekend griller or year-round chef, your kitchen will resist rust, moisture, and wear.
