I called S&W kitchens to remove our existing outdoor kitchen and replace with a newer more modern kitchen and to build and outdoor bar which did not exist prior. Our initial contact was Amy Downs the designer. She was great had a great eye for colors and how our design would fit in our environment. She attended our visit to granite companies and brought samples of ledger stone and other materials to be sure everything would match beautifully. Her input was instrumental throughout the process....

Let’s Bring Your Outdoor Oasis To Life

In Florida, your home doesn't end at the back door. An outdoor kitchen is one of the best investments you can make for your lifestyle and your property value. Whether you are a master griller, a pool-party host, or someone who loves al freso dining with the family, we create spaces that bridge the gap between indoor luxury and outdoor freedom.

We understand that outdoor materials face a tougher environment like humidity, salt, and storms. We tailor our approach to ensure your space is not only beautiful but built to withstand the elements. We typically partner with homeowners in three ways:

The Essential Grilling Station

Perfect for homeowners upgrading from a standalone cart to a built-in setup. We integrate premium grills, weather-tight access doors, and stone prep surfaces into a cohesive design. To offers a finished look that keeps you cooking ready for year-round Florida grilling.

Our Outdoor Remodeling Process

We believe building outdoors requires just as much precision as building indoors. We have spent over 48 years perfecting a process that ensures utility connections, HOA compliance, and design aesthetics come together seamlessly.

1

Design Consultation: It starts with a conversation. We visit your home to assess your patio, lanai, or backyard space. We check for utility access (gas, water, electric) and discuss how you want to use the space—cooking, dining, or entertaining.

2

Custom Design, Materials and Budget Review: Outdoor materials must be tough. Our designers help you select weather-resistant cabinetry, countertops, and appliances that fit your style and your budget. You’ll see your new outdoor kitchen in a realistic rendering and review the full scope before we break ground.

3

Professional Installation: We handle the heavy lifting. Your dedicated S&W project manager coordinates our team to handle plumbing, electrical, and stone installation. We ensure your outdoor kitchen is safe, code-compliant, and built to last. Plus we're part of industry groups like the NKBA (National Kitchen & Bath Association), the Florida Home Builders Association, and several other local building associations.

Your Kitchen Remodel Questions, Answered

Do I need a permit for an outdoor kitchen in Florida?

Yes, most permanent outdoor kitchens require plumbing, electrical, and gas permits. We handle all permitting and inspections to ensure your project is safe and code-compliant.

What kind of cabinetry withstands Florida weather?

We recommend and install high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or marine-grade stainless steel cabinetry. These materials are waterproof, UV-resistant, and will not rot, warp, or rust in the humidity.

Can you build an outdoor kitchen on a small patio or condo balcony?

Absolutely. We design compact "straight-run" kitchens that maximize efficiency. For condos, we can specify electric appliances that adhere to strict HOA fire codes.

Does an outdoor kitchen add value to my home?

Yes. In the Central Florida market, functional outdoor living spaces are highly sought after. A well-built outdoor kitchen is estimated to offer a strong return on investment (ROI) at resale.

Can I use my indoor appliances outside?

No. You must use "UL-rated for outdoor use" appliances. Using indoor fridges or grills outside is a safety hazard and will void warranties. We supply top-rated outdoor appliance brands built for this environment.
