From BGW homeowners

"Bob is an A+ contractor! My husband and I used him to expand our outdoor living area when we lived in Plainfield. The results were stellar. He has a great eye for design and was so helpful. Highly recommend!" ​
Jean B.Stellar Outdoor Living Area Expansion
The team was incredible to work with! Our project involved a large outdoor living space around a pool installation, including a retaining wall, lighting, firepit, grading, drainage, landscaping, and seeding. From start to finish, the crew provided expert guidance on layout and design, offering essential feedback to bring our vision to life. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were exceptional, from the retaining wall and hardscaping to the landscaping elements. Communication and professionalism were top-notch, ensuring a smooth process in coordination with other contractors. Pricing was fair and competitive, and the quality of work speaks for itself. We highly recommend BGW Outdoor Living for any outdoor project, large or small. You can trust them to deliver outstanding results!

Outdoor Kitchens Questions

Outdoor kitchen projects can include built-in grills, smokers, refrigerators, sinks, prep counters, storage, bar areas, keg taps, and an overhead structure. BGW designs these as integrated, functional cooking and entertaining spaces.

Costs depend on the size, site conditions, materials, and features in your project. Discuss your priorities and budget with BGW so the scope and selections can be planned together.

Permits are typically required when gas lines, plumbing, or electrical work is involved. BGW manages permit coordination.

Materials suited for outdoor use include granite, concrete, porcelain tile, and natural stone, all of which withstand temperature changes and moisture better than laminate or standard quartz. BGW guides clients through appropriate material selection.

It depends on the features included. A gas grill requires a gas line; a sink requires plumbing; lighting and refrigeration require electrical. BGW coordinates all utility connections as part of the project.

Yes. Many of BGW’s outdoor kitchen projects are built under covered patios or pergolas. Integrating a covered structure and kitchen is a common combination.

Built-in appliances should be covered or have winterization features. Gas lines should be shut off seasonally. BGW advises on covers, appliance selection, and other winter-prep considerations during design.

Yes, if the patio surface and layout can accommodate the structure and utility connections. BGW evaluates existing conditions during the site visit.

Built-in grills are the most common starting point. Smokers, side burners, refrigerators, and beverage centers are popular additions. Ice makers and pizza ovens are increasingly requested.

The effect on resale value depends on the project and local market. Plan first around how you will use the space, the quality of the design, and a budget that makes sense for you.

Yes, with the right design. Appliances rated for the outdoors, a covered structure, and seasonal winterization let you use an outdoor kitchen well beyond summer. BGW designs for our climate, including covers, appliance selection, and shutting gas and water down safely in the coldest months.

Both work, and it comes down to convenience versus flexibility. Natural gas ties into your home’s line so you never refill a tank, which is ideal for a permanent built-in. Propane gives you placement flexibility and works where a gas line is impractical. BGW helps you choose and coordinates the connection.

Yes. Built-in pizza ovens, smokers, and flat-top griddle stations are popular additions, and BGW integrates them into the counter and utility layout so they work as part of the whole kitchen, not as afterthoughts.

It depends on the appliances, ventilation, and local code, especially where open flame and gas are involved. A built-in grill needs proper clearance from siding and overhangs. BGW designs the layout to meet safety setbacks while keeping the kitchen convenient to your indoor space.
