What we build

  • Kitchens under a louvered pergola, pavilion or solid roof
  • Kitchens under an existing lanai roof
  • Vent hoods for covered grills
  • Lighting, ceiling fans and outlets
  • Bar seating and dining areas
  • Paver or travertine floors
  • Engineering and permits for the structure and utilities

One project, one plan

A covered outdoor kitchen combines a structure, a kitchen, utilities and a floor. When separate trades plan each piece, things clash: a beam over the grill, an outlet under the sink, pavers torn up for a gas line. Shore Home plans the whole space as one job.

What we think about

  • Height and airflow around the grill, and a vent hood where the cover calls for one.
  • Shade and rain from the cover you choose, and where water drains off it.
  • Light and air with fixtures and ceiling fans rated for damp locations.
  • The floor, usually pavers or travertine, with utility lines run underneath first.

Start with a conversation

Covered outdoor kitchens are custom builds, so the estimate starts with a visit to look at the space, the house roof line and where utilities can come from.

About our reviews

Covered outdoor kitchens: common questions

Do I need a vent hood over a covered grill?

Under a solid roof or a low cover, a vent hood is often needed to move heat and smoke away from the ceiling and the people around the grill. Grill makers also set minimum clearances. Under a tall, open pergola it may not be required. We size the hood and clearances for your layout.

Louvered pergola, pavilion or solid roof?

A louvered pergola lets you open or close the roof for sun or shade. A pavilion or solid roof gives full rain cover and room for fans and lights. A kitchen under the existing lanai roof avoids a new structure. We talk through the options on site.

How long does a covered outdoor kitchen take?

These are our largest projects. Design, engineering and permits for the structure and utilities come first, then the build. Your written estimate includes the schedule for your project.
