Outdoor Kitchen Builder FAQS
- How much does it cost to build a custom outdoor kitchen? This is one of the most common questions we receive, and it’s an important one. The cost of a custom outdoor kitchen can significantly vary depending on several factors. These factors include the complexity of the design, the materials chosen for countertops and other features, the appliances installed, and the size of the kitchen itself. To provide an accurate estimate, we encourage you to contact us for a detailed consultation, where we can discuss your vision and provide a tailored quote that matches your specific needs and budget.
- Is a built-in outdoor kitchen worth it? Yes, a built-in outdoor kitchen is an excellent investment! It’s not just about having a fantastic spot for cooking and hosting outdoor parties; it’s also about adding value to your home. Custom outdoor kitchens are becoming increasingly popular and are highly sought after by prospective home buyers. Moreover, the convenience and enjoyment of having a beautiful, functional outdoor space are priceless.
- What’s the most cost-effective way to build an outdoor kitchen? Cost-effectiveness in building an outdoor kitchen comes down to intelligent planning, design decisions, and material choices. First and foremost, we advise having a clear vision for your kitchen, which helps avoid expensive changes down the line. It’s also crucial to balance aesthetic appeal and durability when selecting materials. We are experts at assisting clients in making decisions that maximize their budget while creating a beautiful and functional outdoor kitchen.
- Can I build my own outdoor kitchen? While a DIY approach is possible, outdoor kitchens involve many complex aspects, including gas and plumbing installations, adherence to local building codes, and material choices that require professional expertise. Building an outdoor kitchen involves more than just construction; it requires a deep understanding of design principles, spatial planning, and safety considerations. That’s where our professional team at Kelly Masonry steps in. We ensure a seamless process from design through installation, resulting in a custom outdoor kitchen you can enjoy for many years.

I could not be happier with the retaining wall Kelly masonry constructed along my driveway. They were very accommodating. The work crew was efficient, hard workers and very polite . I’m showing a before and after picture. This after picture I had ChatGPT put shrubs in because I haven’t decided what I want to plant. Everyone who comes over loves the wall.

John Kelly’s team are fabulous. He came out promptly to give an estimate. Then the team began working the very next day. They showed up each day until the job was complete. And they did a perfect job on our walkway that had been crushed by a big crane. Will definitely call on them the next time we need masonry work!

Kelly Masonry built us a beautiful new flagstone patio, walkway, and porch this summer. We were so impressed with this company. Their crew is super hardworking and talented. I appreciated that they stuck to the budget. John communicated with us really well, which helped everything go smoothly. They were thoughtful about details like making sure to reattach a fence at the end of each day of work, so our dog would have a safe place to run around. They're also knowledgeable about water management. They graded the patio, and ran drainpipes from the gutters, underneath the patio and walkway, all the way out to the back of our yard, to keep the water out of our basement. We're thrilled with the final results.

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about John and his men. The workers and John did an amazing job on our retaining wall and walkway and landing at our house. We have never had a more pleasant experience with a contractor. The final results of our project was better than we expected. John went above and beyond on our project even adding things at no extra cost to us. I would highly recommend John and his team! I will be using him again in the future!

We are not alone with wanting to give more than 5 stars!!
Our project involved the creation of several new flower beds, a new front patio and front steps as well as a side patio for a hot tub. We needed this all done on time as we were hosting our wedding at the house.
John Kelly was fantastic from the very beginning. He walked us through various options, coordinated with the landscaper and architect, was always responsive and delivered everything on time with the upmost professionalism and attention to quality and detail.
We’ll never use any one else.
Thank you to John, and the whole Kelly Masonry team!

We couldn't be happier with the service or results. We had a complex timeline and they were great to communicate and work with our other contractors. The stone work looks amazing and everything was kept incredibly clean. I would recommend Kelly Masonry to anyone.

The experience working with Kelly Masonry is the best you will find!!!! We would rate higher we could. From the initial consult to the end product, every step was met with professionalism. The owner, John, came out to quote the project and made his suggestions from years of experience.
The crew was efficient and, as you can see from the pictures, we couldn't be more happy with the work. Below is a list of the work John and his team completed in the quoted time, even though the weather didn't cooperate.
- Tore down, extended and rebuilt stone retaining wall to the right of front door.
- Removed old walkway and replaced with a paver patio while adding additional stone to the bottom front of the house for grading purposes
- Installed a trench drain and tied into three downspouts and ran under pavers, out to a pop-up drain in the front yard.
- Ran a conduit pipe from electrical box to garage
- Removed concrete slab by garage door, and ran pavers the full length from the garage door past our side entrance.
- Installed a stone block retaining wall on the side of the house (this was not discussed in the initial plans, John and crew was able to add to workload mid-project).
Very accommodating, professional and the lines of communication are second to none. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!

As a first time home buyer, I ran into an issue during the inspection that almost stopped me from purchasing the home and needed a professional opinion. Mr. Kelly happily came out to look at the property and gave me an estimate on the work that needed to be done. Fast forward to a few months after having purchased the home, and I sent Mr. Kelly an email stating I was ready to move forward with the project. Even though a few months had passed, Mr. Kelly remember every detail we had discussed during the estimation. His team came four times over the course of two weeks to do some work in the basement, including replacing two windows, and to clean and repoint the outside facade of the house. At the end of each day, you would have never known there were contractors in the house. They left the place in pristine condition. When the work was completed, Mr. Kelly asked if I had any issues (which i did not) and assured me that if any came up, to give him a call and they would be happy to come out and remedy. I cannot recommend Mr. Kelly and his team enough. They have been the easiest and most respectful contract I have worked with to date. Thank you Mr. Kelly and team for all of your work!

John and his team were very professional, and did an amazing job. I needed them to brick in a window opening and shrink in another, which entailed them removing the old lentil and soldier corse and install a new one lower. They showed up on time and we’re clear on what they needed me to do to get the area ready for the work. 90% of my home is brick, so we have plenty of work for them in the future. I highly recommend them.

Would rate this company with more stars if I could. From the very beginning John and his team were very responsive and transparent about the whole project (how long it would take, when they could start, how much it would cost, etc.). They were very flexible with my shift-work schedule and their work was top notch. We love our new fireplace! I actually plan on hiring them in the future if I ever get the masonry work done on my home's exterior like I'm planning to do.
