Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens

Your backyard has untapped potential. Instead of just grass and a basic grill, imagine a space where your family gathers for weekend dinners, where friends want to hang out on summer evenings, and where you can cook full meals without heating up your house. That is what a custom outdoor fireplace and kitchen brings to your Rochester home.

We have built outdoor kitchens and fireplaces for homeowners across Rochester and the surrounding area. What we hear most often is that these features completely change how people use their yards. They cook outside more. They entertain more. Their kids actually want to be home instead of somewhere else. The return on investment goes beyond dollars. It is about quality of life.

An outdoor fireplace extends your season. Minnesota evenings get cool, even in summer. A good fireplace lets you enjoy your patio from early spring through late fall. You can roast marshmallows with the kids, have coffee by the fire on crisp mornings, or just relax with a book while the flames crackle. It turns your backyard into a four-season living space.

An outdoor kitchen takes grilling to the next level. We are talking about built-in grills, side burners, refrigerators, sinks, pizza ovens, and plenty of counter space. No more running back and forth to your indoor kitchen. Everything you need is right there. You can prep, cook, serve, and clean up in one convenient spot.

Building an outdoor kitchen or fireplace is a significant project. We make it smooth and stress-free by following a proven process that keeps you informed every step of the way.

We start with an on-site consultation to see your space, understand your vision, and discuss your budget. We measure the area, check utility access, and note any site challenges. Then we create a detailed design with 3D renderings so you can see exactly what your finished space will look like. We review material options, appliance choices, and layout details until you are completely happy with the plan.

Next comes permitting and preparation. We handle all permit applications with the city of Rochester and coordinate inspections. We arrange utility connections for gas, water, and electricity. If your patio needs to be expanded or a new base installed, we take care of that too. Proper foundation work is critical for outdoor kitchens and fireplaces because these structures are heavy and need solid support.

The construction phase typically takes two to four weeks depending on the size and complexity of your project. We build the structure using quality masonry techniques that ensure stability and longevity. We install appliances, connect utilities, add countertops, and complete all finishing touches. Throughout the build, we keep your yard as clean as possible and protect your landscaping.

After completion, we do a full walkthrough to show you how everything works. We explain maintenance requirements, demonstrate appliance features, and answer any questions. We provide warranties on our workmanship and help you understand manufacturer warranties on appliances. Your satisfaction is our top priority.
