Your Backyard Oasis Awaits
Ever grill a steak under the blazing mountain sun while juggling a beer? Yeah, me too. Let’s upgrade that. Here at Straub Fine Finishes, we understand the allure of Colorado living. From high-altitude sunsets to fireside feasts, we get the unique charm of Livermore and Red Feather Lakes. For homeowners in the Mountains of Larimer County, Colorado, an outdoor kitchen isn’t just a luxury; it’s an extension of your lifestyle. This article will guide you through the design, construction, and contractor selection process, ensuring your outdoor culinary space is everything you’ve dreamed of.
Design: Crafting Your Perfect Outdoor Culinary Space
Let’s dive into the key elements of an outdoor kitchen. What are the key elements of an outdoor kitchen, you ask? Well, first, you’ll need a grill & smoker. Propane, charcoal, or that fancy pellet smoker that makes you look like a BBQ god? The choice is yours. Next, countertops & surfaces. Granite? Concrete? Or that sleek stainless steel that screams “chef”? Consider sinks & plumbing – because washing your hands with a garden hose is so last season. Refrigeration & storage are crucial for keeping those craft beers cold and the condiments organized. Finally, you’ll want seating & entertainment: fire pits, pergolas, and enough room for your friends to “ooh” and “ahh.”
Designing for the Colorado climate requires special considerations. High altitude challenges like UV protection and sudden snowstorms in July are real. We design for four-season functionality, ensuring your space is perfect for both summer BBQs and winter hot chocolate nights. For those seeking something truly special, designing outdoor kitchens with built-in pizza ovens for Colorado homes is a popular request. We focus on outdoor kitchen layouts that maximize space and flow, using weather-resistant materials to withstand the elements. Built-in grills, natural gas lines, propane tanks, custom cabinetry, fire features, pergola installation, concrete countertops, and granite countertops are all part of our construction expertise. We once built a kitchen where the client insisted on a dedicated “s’mores station.” Colorado living at its finest!
Our design process starts with creating certifiable blueprints for your outdoor living space. We help you plan every aspect of your outdoor kitchen, and can render it for you in full 3D!
Construction: Building Your Culinary Dream
What is the process of building an outdoor kitchen? It begins with site preparation & permits – let’s get the paperwork out of the way, so we can get to the fun stuff. (check Larimer County Permit Requirements HERE). Foundation & framing come next; we need to build a solid base, because nobody wants a wobbly grill. Plumbing & electrical are crucial for lighting and maintaining a clean area. Safety first, folks! We’re talking up to code gas lines and weatherproof outlets. Then comes the installation of appliances & fixtures, where the magic happens. And finally, the finishing touches: from backsplash or stonework to lighting, it’s all in the details.
In Livermore and Red Feather Lakes, material choices are paramount. We balance durability & aesthetics, ensuring your kitchen looks beautiful while withstanding the brutal Colorado sun. Investing in materials that last means less maintenance and more enjoyment. The best materials for outdoor kitchens in high-altitude Colorado climates are those that can handle temperature fluctuations and UV exposure.
Finding the Right Outdoor Kitchen Contractors: Choosing Wisely
How do I choose an outdoor kitchen contractor? First, look at their experience & portfolio. Seeing is believing. Check out their past work. Years of experience and real testimonials are non-negotiable – this your investment, folks. Communication & collaboration are key – find a contractor who listens and “gets” your vision. And finally, local expertise is crucial, understanding the unique challenges of building in Livermore & Red Feather Lakes.
