HB Outdoor Living
HUNTINGTON BEACH OUTDOOR KITCHEN CONTRACTOR
The Backyard Kitchen Built for HB Living
HB has 280-plus days a year of pool-and-grill weather. An outdoor kitchen turns the backyard into the heart of the home — somewhere you actually use, not somewhere a forgotten Weber sits next to a folding table.
Werth Builders has been the outdoor kitchen contractor Huntington Beach homeowners trust since 1994. We design and build everything from compact BBQ islands to fully equipped outdoor kitchens with grill, side burner, pizza oven, refrigeration, sink, bar seating, and overhead patio cover. One team handles the design, gas line, electrical, hardscape, finish — start to finish.
- Custom design — built around your grill, your menu, your space
- Marine-grade stainless and corrosion-resistant materials
- Permitted gas, electrical, and plumbing — no shortcuts
- Integrated with your pool, spa, deck, or patio cover
- Built-in supervision until inspection passes
WHAT WE BUILD
Outdoor Kitchen Services in Huntington Beach
From a clean, simple BBQ island to a full outdoor kitchen with bar seating and a pizza oven — we build to match how you cook and entertain.
Custom BBQ Islands
The classic outdoor cooking centerpiece — built-in grill, side burner, storage, prep counter, and finish that matches your home. Our most popular HB build.
Full Outdoor Kitchens
L-shaped and U-shaped layouts with grill, side burner, sink, refrigerator, ice maker, warming drawer, storage, and bar seating for 4-8.
Pizza Ovens
Built-in wood-fired and gas pizza ovens (Forno Bravo, Mugnaini, Alfa) integrated with countertops and venting. Real wood-fire results without the hassle.
Refrigeration & Storage
Outdoor-rated refrigerators, ice makers, kegerators, beverage centers, drawers, and pull-outs. Designed for HB's salt air with marine-grade fronts.
Bar Seating & Counters
Pull-up bar overhangs, raised counters, and built-in seating. Stone, porcelain, or quartz countertops sealed for outdoor use.
Patio Covers & Pergolas
Solid-roof patio covers, aluminum pergolas, and louvered roofs that shade the kitchen and extend usable hours. Includes lighting, fans, and heaters.
BUILT FOR THE COAST
Materials That Survive Salt Air
Within five miles of the beach, cheap outdoor kitchen materials fail fast. Cheap stainless rusts. Untreated wood warps. Standard appliances die. Here's what we spec for HB builds.
Marine-Grade Stainless Steel
304 stainless minimum, 316 for properties closer to the water. The "stainless" you see at home improvement stores is often 430 — magnetic, cheap, and rusts within a season in HB.
StandardSealed Stone & Porcelain Counters
Granite, quartzite, porcelain, and sealed concrete handle UV and salt air well. We avoid marble and limestone outdoors — they pit fast.
PremiumStucco & Stone Veneer Cabinets
Built on metal stud frames with cement board, finished with stucco, natural stone, brick, or porcelain panel. Lasts decades with no rot or warping.
RecommendedOutdoor-Rated Appliances
Lynx, Hestan, Twin Eagles, Coyote, and Blaze all have HB-suitable outdoor lines. Indoor-rated stainless appliances will rust within a year.

Outdoor Kitchens Engineered for HB
Building a long-lasting outdoor kitchen near the coast takes more than dropping a grill in stucco. Here's what we do differently.
Properly Permitted Gas Lines
Built-in grills require dedicated gas lines sized correctly for BTU load. We pull gas permits, run new lines, and test pressure — every install is to code.
GFCI-Protected Electrical
Outdoor receptacles, refrigeration circuits, and lighting all need proper GFCI protection. We pull electrical permits and document every circuit.
Drainage & Ventilation
Cabinets need vented gas access doors, weep holes, and slope. Skipping this leads to gas pooling and mold inside the cabinet — we engineer it right.
Real Coastal Material Specs
We've replaced enough corroded outdoor kitchens to know what survives in HB. Our spec sheets are built around 30 years of coastal builds.

From Concept to First Cookout
A clear, simple process whether you're adding a small BBQ island or a full outdoor kitchen with patio cover and bar.

We come to your Huntington Beach home, walk the yard, and talk through how you cook, entertain, and use the space. Honest recommendations on layout and budget.

Itemized Quote & Permits
Fixed line-item pricing with no surprises. We pull City of Huntington Beach permits for gas, electrical, plumbing, and any structural work.

Final inspections pass on the first visit. We walk you through every appliance, gas shutoff, and care recommendation. Then it's grilling time.

Most outdoor kitchens in Huntington Beach take 4-8 weeks of construction. A simple BBQ island can be 2-3 weeks. Larger projects with patio covers, pool coordination, or hardscape run 8-12 weeks. Permits add another 2-4 weeks before construction starts.
Yes — anything with gas, electrical, plumbing, or structural elements requires permits in the City of Huntington Beach. Built-in grills always need a permitted gas line. Electrical for outlets, refrigeration, and lighting must be GFCI-protected and inspected. Patio covers require structural plans. Werth Builders handles all permits, plans, and inspections in-house.
Within five miles of the beach you need to spec for salt air. Our HB standards: 304 marine-grade stainless minimum (316 for closer to water), sealed granite/quartzite/porcelain countertops, stucco or stone veneer cabinets on metal stud frames with cement board, and outdoor-rated appliances from Lynx, Hestan, Twin Eagles, Coyote, or Blaze. Cheap stainless and indoor-rated appliances will rust within a year here.
Yes — and it's the most efficient way to do both. Combining the projects saves on excavation, hardscape, gas and electrical runs, and overall timeline. Werth Builders is a complete backyard contractor — pool, spa, kitchen, hardscape, lighting, and patio cover all under one team and one schedule.
It depends on how you cook. The most common setup we install in HB:
- Built-in grill — always
- Side burner — for sauces, sides, and boiling water
- Outdoor refrigerator or beverage center — keeps people from running inside
- Sink with hot/cold water — game-changer for prep and cleanup
- Storage drawers — utensils, towels, propane backup
Optional add-ons: pizza oven, kegerator, ice maker, warming drawer, smoker, power burner. We design around what you'll actually use.
Yes — and most HB outdoor kitchen projects include some kind of cover. We build solid-roof patio covers, aluminum pergolas, louvered roofs, and full pavilions. Covers extend usable hours, protect appliances from rain and UV, and let us add fans, heaters, and lighting overhead.
