Your outdoor kitchen deserves the same level of attention as your indoor one. Here’s what our team checks during the inspection.
Structural Integrity
Austin weather is hard on outdoor structures. We check the kitchen top to bottom so you have a clear picture of its condition.
Cooking Appliances
Appliances that look fine aren’t always fine. We assess every piece of cooking equipment for safety and function.
Gas Connections
Gas issues don’t always announce themselves. We check every connection before it becomes your problem.
Electrical Components
Outdoor electrical has to meet high standards. We make sure everything operates safely.
Issues caught before closing, not after.
Austin outdoor kitchens take a beating from the heat and humidity. Most issues are minor, but only if you catch them early.
