The centerpiece to an outdoor grill is the grill itself which can range on the size from 24 to 48 inches on average. For those that enjoy grilling with charcoal but enjoy the expediency of being able to cook with gas, there are hybrid models available. Options to consider adding are a side burner to add more versatility, a rotisserie cooking for cooking your favorite bird or side of meat, and gas-fired flat griddle to take care of any additional cooking requirements.
When thinking about your outdoor kitchen take into consideration counter space. This area can be used for preparation and also as a serving area. A sink built into the coking area can save time and allow for quick clean up of any dirty dishes. And don’t forget and ice maker. Built-in ice makers can easily be incorporated into the cabinetry of an outdoor kitchen.

If your current rooms don’t meet your lifestyle expanding out the room is another possibility. Room expansions can be done either by removing existing interior walls or by attaching the extension to your exterior wall.
In-Law Suites
In-law suites can be built onto any portion of your home, and can be built to include amenities such as a kitchenette, living room, master bedroom, closets and a bathroom. In-law suites can also be built with accessibility in mind to provide ease of access for the resident.
Garage Additions
Garage additions can be made to replace an existing garage, or add a place to store vehicles and other items in a home that otherwise doesn’t have a garage. Typically, garages are built adjacent to the house using an existing exterior wall but can also be built as a separate building of its own.
Garage additions can include adding a room above your existing garage. This area can be used for additional living areas such as a bedroom, home office, recreation room, or a personalized home theater.
