Cooking outside all year
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service says more than half of Americans say they are cooking outdoors year-round. We plan outdoor counters with room to prep, plate and serve, so the grill isn't the only flat spot you have.
Materials we fit outside
We fit granite, concrete and porcelain on outdoor kitchens, and we go through each one with you before you choose.
The Federal Highway Administration says the basic parts of concrete are crushed stone or gravel, sand, portland cement and water. It says the stone and sand fill out the mix, and a hardened cement paste, formed when the cement reacts with water, holds them together.
The EPA says firing turns a ceramic into a dense, solid body made of fine, even grains. It says this step is also called sintering. The porcelain slabs we fit are made this way.
What sets the price of an outdoor kitchen top
We price outdoor kitchen countertops for your house once we've measured, and you get that quote in writing. Our price depends on the material you choose, how thick it is, how much counter we cover, the edge you pick, and how many holes we cut for the grill, a sink or a side burner.
Not sure what to pick? We can quote granite, concrete or porcelain side by side.
Food safety on an outdoor counter
The USDA says that in hot weather, above 90 °F, food should never sit out for more than 1 hour. It also says to use a clean platter when you take food off the grill, and never to put cooked food on the same platter that held raw meat or poultry.
FoodSafety.gov says to wash countertops with hot, soapy water, especially after they've held raw meat, poultry, seafood or eggs. We can plan a sink into the outdoor counter, so you have water close to the grill.
What to get in writing
Ask for these in writing, whoever you hire:
- The name of the material and the thickness of each top.
- Whether you get to see and approve the exact slab or sample before it is cut.
- A drawing of the layout, with the grill, sink and every cutout marked.
- Which edge and which finish you are getting.
- Who runs and connects the gas, water and power, and who gets the permits for that work.
- Whether taking out and hauling away an old top is in the price.
The City of Lewisville says contractors must be registered with the city to pull a permit, which means they must keep up their licenses and insurance.
Questions about outdoor kitchen countertops in Lewisville
Do I need a permit for an outdoor kitchen in Lewisville?
The City of Lewisville lists cosmetic projects, such as replacing cabinets or installing carpet, as not needing a building permit, and it suggests calling its Building Services staff to confirm. Its permit list also includes plumbing, electrical and liquid petroleum gas installation. If your outdoor kitchen needs a new gas line, sink or outlet, we'll check with the city with you before we start. The city says you should never apply for a permit on behalf of your contractor.
Do I need to call before digging for an outdoor kitchen?
The City of Lewisville says that before you start digging, you must call Texas 811 so the local utility companies can mark the buried lines in your yard. We make sure that call is made before anyone digs for gas, water or power.
What if my outdoor kitchen has no sink?
The USDA says that when you're eating away from home and there's no clean water, you should bring water for preparing food and for washing hands, surfaces and utensils. We can leave space in the counter for a sink later if you're not ready for one now.
Does cutting stone for an outdoor kitchen make silica dust?
OSHA says making stone countertops exposes workers to silica dust. It says breathing that dust raises the risk of silicosis, an incurable lung disease, as well as lung cancer and kidney disease.
Can I pick my own slab for an outdoor kitchen?
Yes, we can show you slabs and have you approve the one we cut, before any work starts.
Can you match my outdoor counter to my kitchen inside?
Yes, we can quote the same stone for your outdoor counter as your kitchen countertops, so the two look alike.
Can you fix a chip or crack in an outdoor countertop?
Send us a photo, or ask us to come and look. We'll tell you whether a countertop repair will hold or the piece should be replaced.
