Yes. We design and build custom outdoor kitchens, BBQ islands, fire pits, and fireplaces, including the gas, electrical, and plumbing lines that run them. ### Do I need a permit for an outdoor kitchen or BBQ island? Usually yes, because these tie into gas, electrical, and sometimes sewer or water lines. We handle the entire permit process for you, so the work is safe, legal, and inspected. ### Do retaining walls need engineering? Often, yes. Many retaining walls require engineered plans before construction, especially on slopes or for taller walls. We take care of the engineering and build the wall from block or poured concrete based on what the plans call for. ### What is the difference between a block wall and a retaining wall? A block wall mainly divides space and adds privacy. A retaining wall holds back soil on a slope or grade change. Retaining walls carry more load, so they more often need engineering. ### What finishes can you do on masonry? We finish masonry in stucco, smooth stucco, tile, stacked stone, and paint, plus custom covers in materials like wood and Trex, so it matches your home and style. ### How much does an outdoor kitchen or masonry project cost? It depends on the size, materials, and features. We give you an itemized estimate up front along with a free 3D design, so you know the real number before any work starts. ### Do you design and build, or just build? Both. One team designs, permits, engineers, and builds your project under one roof, and the cost of your design is refunded when you build with us. ### Do you work with HOAs? Yes. Many Orange County neighborhoods have an HOA approval process, and we have a lot of experience with them. We help prepare and submit the plans your HOA needs and work with you to get the project approved before we build. ## Helpful planning guides. ## Explore More Possibilities --- HQ Remodeling & Design, 17011 Beach Blvd, Suite 900, Huntington Beach, CA 92647.
