More Americans than ever enjoy outdoor living. What better way to do so when you have a beautiful deck or patio? You can further enhance your experience with an outdoor kitchen for better entertainment and to cook smelly foods that aren't appropriate for your indoor kitchen. According to HGTV, the return on investment homeowners can see after having an outdoor kitchen installed falls between 55% and 200% and depends on their location and comparable homes in the area. When it's time to construct such a space, you want to have the best professionals in mind. Here are reasons to work with outdoor kitchen contractors.

1. Expertise

The more experience a constructor has, the more variety you can have in your outdoor kitchen space. You may be able to save money and still have a fancier upgrade than you would have with an amateur contractor. Our team at Phase One Landscapes, Inc has earned 17 awards for our projects, including merit awards, awards of excellence, and grand awards, so you can depend on our expert experience.

2. Advice

Experienced outdoor kitchen contractors can give you helpful advice during your initial consultation. You may be unsure what type of design you want, but they have the experience to guide you. When you view their portfolio of previous work, it will guide your decision. Our team is made up of a variety of experts from landscapers to land surveys to landscape architects, so you're sure to get your questions answered by a knowledgeable team member.

3. Time

Do you have a general time frame for when you want your updated outdoor space completed? Spring is approaching, so you may want your renovated patio area ready for summer parties. You have a better chance of meeting that deadline with experienced contractors. Because of their years of expertise, they can work diligently and quickly while meeting safety and compliance specifications. From the initial meeting to the final plan, our team is here to support your goals and timeline.

4. Reputation

An experienced contractor has had time to build their reputation. Therefore, you have more reviews to go on, whether you're using online review sites like Google Reviews or contacting references. After all, you'll likely feel more comfortable with a company that has built its reputation over 20 or 30 years as opposed to two or three years. At Phase One Landscapes, Inc, we have over 35 years of experience.

Now you understand why you should work with the most experienced outdoor kitchen contractors. Such a company has enough experience to work in a variety of materials and styles. They'll have more references for you to contact because they worked on so many outdoor kitchens over the years. These pros can work faster to complete the project within a shorter time.
