Outdoor kitchen masonry built for how you cook
Outdoor kitchen masonry in Tacoma usually means a grill island and counter built of concrete block on a reinforced slab, then faced with stone or brick. Folks usually call once the patio's done and they're tired of running plates in and out. Whether the island needs a permit is a question for the city's Planning and Development Services, and we check with them and handle the paperwork for our part.
I'll ask which grill you want before anything else, because one maker wants vents at each end of the cabinet and another allows no hole but the gas line's, so your grill's manual decides how we build. Size, facing and any gas, sink or power move the price and the schedule most, and your written estimate spells it out.
Ways to set up your outdoor kitchen
Get a quoteGrill island only
A grill and a short counter on solid block suits a smaller patio, and a new walkway from the back door makes the trips easy.
Gas, sink or power
A sink, gas line or outlet makes it a real kitchen, and Tacoma needs permits for the plumbing, the gas and most electrical work, beyond the masonry.
Manufactured stone facing
The stone makers' guide lets veneer go straight onto clean, rough block, and calls for wire lath and a scratch coat of mortar where block won't bond.
Brick facing
Brick facing suits a brick house, so the kitchen looks like it belongs, and it's the same craft as our brick wall installation.

Why folks hire us for outdoor kitchens
I come out to every job
I look at your yard myself before we price anything, and our small crew does the build with me working right alongside them.
Learned the trade in Tacoma
I started out mixing mortar and hauling brick on a small Tacoma crew, learned the trade from the mason I worked under, and opened our business in 2023.
The licenses Tacoma asks for
The city asks for a Tacoma business license and a Washington contractor's license for work here. We're fully licensed and insured, and it's fair to ask anyone you're weighing for both.
