Frequently asked questions.
How much does a custom outdoor kitchen cost in Tampa?
It depends on scope — a built-in grill island with stone counters is a very different project from a full poolside bar with a pizza oven, fridge, and TV zone. That's why every project starts with a free 3D design and a transparent, itemized quote: you see exactly what each element costs and can adjust the plan before anything is built. Financing options are available as well.
Should I build a pergola or a pavilion by my pool?
A pergola gives you filtered shade and airflow through an open-slat roof — ideal for defining a lounge zone without closing it in. A pavilion has a solid roof, so the grill, TV, and seating stay usable through Tampa Bay's summer afternoon storms. Many of our designs pair the two: a pavilion over the kitchen and bar, a pergola over the lounge. We model both in your free 3D design so you can compare.
Do I need a permit for an outdoor kitchen or pergola in Pinellas or Hillsborough County?
Usually, yes. Gas lines to grills and fire pits, new electrical circuits, and roofed structures like pavilions all require permits and licensed trades in Pinellas and Hillsborough. LIV holds general contractor, gas, and electrical licenses in-house and handles permitting in-house too — so the work is legal, inspected, and never a problem when you sell or insure the home.
What outdoor kitchen materials hold up best near the water in Tampa Bay?
Masonry and stone bases with stainless-steel appliances and doors are the standard for a reason — salt air, humidity, and daily sun are brutal on wood cabinets and painted metal. We build in weatherproof stone and stainless, and tuck appliances under a pavilion or lanai roof wherever the design allows, so the kitchen still looks sharp years into Gulf Coast weather.
Can you build the outdoor kitchen and fire pit at the same time as the pool?
Yes — and it's the smart way to do it. When the pool, kitchen, pergola, and fire pit are designed as one plan, gas and electrical runs get trenched once, the decking flows as a single surface, and everything shares one permit package and construction schedule. We also build outdoor living projects around existing pools across Pinellas and Hillsborough.
