Summer Kitchen Builder in Del Webb Nocatee

Del Webb Nocatee summer kitchens that move the cooking, and the heat, out of the house.

Ask around Northeast Florida and you'll hear 'summer kitchen' as often as 'outdoor kitchen.' It's the same idea: a place to cook outside, ideally under a roof. We design and build summer kitchens for homeowners in Del Webb Nocatee, sized to your patio and sheltered from the afternoon storms.

Summer Kitchen Ideas for Del Webb Nocatee

Right off the lanai. A few steps from the back door, so carrying food is easy.
With a bar. Bar seating so the cook isn't cooking alone.
Next to the fire. A summer kitchen beside a fireplace or fire pit keeps the whole evening in one place.
Matching stonework. A base that matches the house or the seat walls.

NFPA recommends keeping children and pets at least three feet away from the grilling area.

Before We Draw Your Del Webb Nocatee Summer Kitchen

We've completed several projects in Del Webb Nocatee, from a pergola over a curved outdoor kitchen to a grand A-frame gazebo with two kitchens. Gated access in Del Webb Nocatee means we arrange crew entry with the community before work starts. A straight kitchen run along the house wall saves space on a small lot and keeps the patio open for the table.

Smoke direction matters. We look at the prevailing breeze at the in-home visit and place the grill so it drifts away from the seating. Before we draw a summer kitchen in Del Webb Nocatee, we check how close the kitchen can sit to the lanai, how power reaches the counters and whether a cover is wanted now or later.

Keeping a grill clean matters: NFPA found the grill had not been cleaned in roughly one-fifth of grill fires.

Approvals and Permits in Del Webb Nocatee

In Del Webb Nocatee, the community's review looks at materials, colors and placement, and the Nocatee master rules apply too. For a summer kitchen, review boards often want to know where it sits, what it's made of and whether a cover goes over it. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Building permits for Del Webb Nocatee homes go through St. Johns County, and registered associations are notified automatically when exterior work is filed, so your HOA is part of the process from the start. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

Should my summer kitchen be covered?In Northeast Florida, a cover makes the kitchen usable through summer sun and afternoon storms. We often design summer kitchens under a gazebo or lanai extension.

Will my Del Webb Nocatee HOA review a summer kitchen?Plan on it. Del Webb Nocatee reviews exterior changes through its own association, separate from Del Webb Ponte Vedra's.
