Real outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands across Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and Santa Barbara counties, built into the patios we install with the same crew.
An outdoor kitchen designed around how you actually cook
A great outdoor kitchen keeps the cook in the party instead of stuck at the stove indoors. Genesis builds custom outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands sized to your space and your style of entertaining, from a clean built-in grill with counter space to a full outdoor kitchen with a sink, refrigerator, storage, and a pizza oven. Because we hold eight California contractor’s licenses, one crew builds the island, runs the gas, water, and electrical, and lays the paver patio underneath, so the whole thing is designed and installed together.
Everything from a built-in grill to a full kitchen
We design the island around how you cook and gather. That can mean a built-in gas or charcoal grill, a side burner, counters and bar seating, storage doors and drawers, a sink, a refrigerator, a pizza oven, even a kegerator, finished in stone veneer, stucco, or tile with granite or concrete countertops. The layout follows the way you actually use the space, so nothing is wasted and nothing is missing.
The gas, the masonry, and the patio, all one team
An outdoor kitchen is really several trades in one project: masonry for the island, a gas line for the grill, plumbing for the sink, electrical for the lights and refrigerator, and the paver patio it sits on. Hire it piecemeal and you become the project manager. Genesis holds the licenses to do all of it, so one crew builds the kitchen, the utilities, and the hardscape on a single schedule, and one company stands behind the whole thing.

Since 1993 and 15,000+ projects, with the same team on your kitchen
Genesis is not a call center that dispatches subcontractors. The people who quote your outdoor kitchen are the people who build it, and they are named throughout our reviews. Genesis holds eight California contractor’s licenses, so one team legally handles the masonry, the gas, the plumbing, the electrical, and the pavers.

“Roger showed up for the estimate in the rain and gave us a quote that was very reasonable. He helped us choose the stone and color. We had the driveway and front walkway done too.”
“Fernando explained the entire process and the sales tactics that others like System Pavers use to upsell. If you want honest advice and good work, go with Genesis.”
“I had some sunken areas in the pavers. Genesis kindly sent their crew and fixed it. Happy with their service and ethics.”
“Daniel led us from design through execution, and the BBQ island he designed is money. All my friends love it.”
