Outdoor Kitchen Tile Upgrade

The Problem

The outdoor grilling area had become frustrating to maintain and use:

• Terracotta tile was difficult to clean, especially with grease
• Older materials and dark colors made the space feel dated
• The area was no longer enjoyable to use

Our Solution

We spent time together selecting materials that would be easier to maintain and still look great:

• Smart Material Selection: Large format porcelain tiles—extremely durable with fewer grout lines for simple cleanup
• Structural Improvements: Reused parts of the original framing and made adjustments where needed
• Lighting Enhancement: Added under-lighting to give the whole area a warm and dramatic feel

The Result

Now the space looks brighter, cleans up easily, and has brought the joy of grilling back to their home. His wife says wiping down the area is no longer a chore, and they both love how the upgrade transformed that corner of their outdoor kitchen.
