Tailored to How You Cook
No two outdoor chefs are alike — that’s why we never do cookie-cutter layouts. Some homeowners want a full-service kitchen with bar seating and a pizza oven, while others prefer a smaller, sleek grilling station with cabinet storage. We walk you through every option: appliance selection, counter materials, cabinet finishes, and layout. Then we design a setup that works with your space and how you move. Our kitchens are built to weather the outdoors, with sealed concrete, granite, or porcelain surfaces and powder-coated or stainless cabinetry. You get the freedom to host with ease — in a space that’s custom built to support your best meals.
As a trusted North Idaho deck builder, we proudly serve Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum, and surrounding areas—bringing high-quality decks and outdoor spaces to homeowners across the region.
Made to Handle Real Life Outdoors
Outdoor kitchens aren’t just about functionality — they need to look good year-round, and perform in all kinds of weather. That’s why we use materials that won’t warp or fade. Everything is sealed, vented, and designed for Idaho’s climate. We build into hardscapes, integrate with lighting, and plan layouts that provide proper clearance, prep zones, and access. Whether you’re a casual weekend griller or a seasoned outdoor chef, our kitchens are built to match your lifestyle and elevate your gatherings.
An outdoor kitchen adds more than convenience — it creates a true backyard destination. Whether it’s burgers on the grill, pizza in the oven, or drinks on the island bar, this space becomes the hub for connection and entertaining.

We use high-performance appliances and finishes that stand up to the North Idaho climate while blending seamlessly into your landscape.
