FAQs

Before making a significant outdoor living investment and going through the process of a Detroit backyard renovation, it’s common to wonder if investing in a luxury outdoor kitchen is worthwhile. In many cases, it is worth it since it can benefit your lifestyle in multiple ways and have a positive impact on Detroit property values. Some of the common benefits include: 

  • Extended living space: Your outdoor living spaces will extend the living space available around your house, whether you love to entertain guests and have guests over or just want an extra area to relax. 
  • Outdoor kitchen ROI: Outdoor kitchens are often attractive to homebuyers, and installing one can increase a property’s value. Research from Zillow found that installing a general custom outdoor kitchen increases a property’s value by about 1.7%, and installing luxury amenities such as a bar seating area, pizza oven, or outdoor TV added even more value.
  • Get a low-maintenance cooking space: Outdoor kitchens are usually very durable materials and can be designed to be easy to clean and maintain. 
  • Improve outdoor comfort: Luxury outdoor cooking spaces are designed for your needs to ensure you and your guests can soak in some great comfort and relaxation. 

Ultimately, each custom designed outdoor kitchen is customizable based on your needs and preferences, so the features that define yours will depend on what you want. To give you some ideas, popular custom outdoor kitchen features in metro Detroit include: 

  • Luxury outdoor appliances, such as built-in grills, side burners, pizza ovens, refrigerators, and sinks
  • Outdoor fireplaces or fire pits for warmth and cool evenings
  • Outdoor TVs for entertainment
  • Smart outdoor technology, such as voice-activated controls, integrated smart thermometers in grills for perfect cooking results, or smart refrigeration and storage
  • Added Michigan weather outdoor materials that are designed for durability and year-round use 

Choosing the right outdoor kitchen contractors in Detroit is an important decision to ensure you get the results you want. Here are some elements to consider while reviewing luxury outdoor contractors: 

  • Look for experience with outdoor kitchens: You’ll want to look for contractors who have over a decade of experience installing and renovating outdoor kitchens. Experienced Detroit outdoor kitchen companies will know how to get the most out of your backyard space, weatherproof, and maintain building codes. 
  • Review design capabilities and material expertise: Different outdoor kitchen installation services may offer varying types of designs and materials. Look at their previous projects and what each company offers to ensure they can deliver what you want. 
  • Read reviews: Have previous customers had a good experience with the contractor? Read the reviews about each company to ensure they provide good service. 
  • Get a clear quote and timeline: The contractor should be able to provide you with a clear quote and timeline for the project before beginning. 

The custom outdoor kitchen design process is a bit different for each client, depending on their goals and needs. To give you a simple overview, outdoor kitchen planning in Detroit typically goes as follows: 

  • Defining vision and budget: With our professional outdoor kitchen services at SkyviewUSA, we’ll work to understand your vision and budget to find custom design options that fit your needs. 
  • Site and layout planning: Next, it’s important to review the worksite where you want to install your outdoor kitchen. Your available space, shape of your yard, existing outdoor patios, etc., may affect what you need and what’s possible during the build. 
  • Designing: Here, it’s time to get to work on the official design. You’ll be able to select materials, appliances, accessories, etc., at each step to ensure you get what you want. It’s common to use 3D outdoor kitchen designs in this process so clients and contractors can have a visual reference for the project. 
  • Permits and construction planning: Permits will need to be secured for the project, and construction teams will start planning. You’ll get an outdoor kitchen installation timeline to know when the project will start and when it should be completed. 
  • Construction and installation: Once the plan is set, construction begins and is completed according to the plan. When you work with us at SkyviewUSA, we’ll provide regular updates, promptly let you know if anything changes, and make sure to answer any questions you have along the way. 

Luxury outdoor kitchen prices can vary quite a bit depending on the size of your space, the complexity of the project, and the features and amenities you want. Our prices for luxury outdoor kitchens at SkyviewUSA start at $17,900.

Commercial outdoor kitchens in Detroit are also a great investment that allow you to offer different guest experiences, options for recreation, and flexible restaurant outdoor dining. Some of the top benefits of commercial and hospitality outdoor spaces include:

  • Extra seating and food preparation space: Commercial outdoor cooking and dining allow restaurants and businesses to make better use of their space. You’ll be able to have more chefs/cooks working, seat more guests, and offer a different dining experience, all of which can help generate more revenue.
  • Generate more interest from customers: Business outdoor entertainment areas can be a big draw. Whether your guests want to look out at a nice view, be outside on a sunny summer day, or celebrate big events, outdoor dining can add to the experience.
  • Add entertainment options: When you have an outdoor dining space, there are a lot of endless possibilities for adding entertainment options to your business. For example, you could have live music, cooking demonstrations, or game/activity areas available alongside the dining space.

Michigan outdoor kitchens can be a great idea since it’s in the northern part of the U.S. During the warmer times of the year, Detroit generally has fewer scorching hot days, making it a great area to get outside and relax during the summer. Detroit weather for outdoor cooking is also great in the mild spring and fall seasons. 

On top of that, four-season outdoor living is possible in Detroit. You can add ambient lighting or temperature control options to your luxury kitchen space to make it usable year-round. 

The main consideration you’ll need to make during installation and choosing materials is that they’re durable enough for cold-climate outdoor spaces and that winterizing your outdoor kitchen is possible. 

It’s important to consider outdoor kitchen maintenance in Detroit, especially in light of the changing seasons and various weather conditions. Some steps you’ll want to take for luxury outdoor kitchen upkeep include:

  • Outdoor appliance care: Make sure to clean your grill and other appliances regularly. It’s a good idea to do a little bit each time after you cook.
  • Wipe down countertops: Any countertops used during cooking should be wiped down and cleaned to remove any crumbs or grease.
  • Keep yard debris away: Clear any debris that accumulates in your yard, such as grass after mowing the lawn or leaves in the fall, to ensure it stays out of your cooking area.
  • Cover your grill and furniture: You’ll want to keep your outdoor grill covered in case it rains and to protect it against snow in the winter. The same is true for any outdoor furniture, like padded chairs, that could soak up water.
  • Winterizing outdoor kitchens: Make sure you winterize your kitchen, pipes, and appliances. That can include shutting off water lines, turning off gas lines, covering your grill, and covering cabinets.

You can also consider hiring an outdoor kitchen service for cleaning and maintenance if you don’t want to handle these tasks yourself.

Before starting an outdoor kitchen project, you’ll want to do some research and get a plan in place.

Typically, you’ll want to work with a professional and experienced contractor for luxury outdoor kitchen projects since it’s a lot to take on. Professional contractors will be able to:

  • Design a layout that works best for your outdoor space and budget
  • Manage any constraints and complex construction needs
  • Assist you through the process of securing outdoor kitchen permits in Detroit
  • Offer guidance on picking the best materials and appliances for the local climate and your needs
