Having an outdoor kitchen with high-quality stainless steel grills and built-in accessories, is the epitome of luxurious outdoor living.  Take outdoor entertaining to the next level, with one of these babies in your outdoor space.  They add great value onto your real estate, especially when you live in the Okanagan and the temperature is mild enough to enjoy your outdoor kitchen year round!

Here is a sneak peak of our most recent outdoor kitchen, located on a penthouse rooftop patio in Kelowna, overlooking Okanagan Lake.  These clients better get ready to create some pretty fine outdoor memories, talk about entertaining in style!  We love the client's choice of river rock, with a black slate tiled countertop.  This entire project was completed and managed by Mode Concrete, from ordering and installing the stainless steel Luxor appliances to organizing all the necessary trades required, we take care of everything and manage the entire project.  Best of all, we always stay on budget and on schedule!  

MODE CONCRETE deals with design professionals, building professionals and home-owners, to create luxury outdoor kitchens in the Okanagan Valley.  Having a luxurious outdoor kitchen has become the norm for people living in the Okanagan. Many designers, landscape architects and developers rely on our input and skill when it comes to the design and construction of an outdoor kitchen or grilling island.

Experienced contractors and builders often require MODE CONCRETE to assist in the design, installation (if required), and selection of outdoor kitchen grills and accessories.  We walk our customers through the process and design of creating a luxury outdoor kitchen.  People contact us because of our skill, knowledge, product line and design options.

Outdoor Kitchen Services:

• We will start by assessing your equipment requirements, available space, budget, and how we can integrate an outdoor kitchen into your overall design.  We have knowledge about the “do's and don'ts” of outdoor kitchen design and can advise you on different outdoor equipment options and various construction materials available.
• You can choose to have us build the complete outdoor kitchen or we can just build a outdoor kitchen frame, which you can finish with your own construction materials. You can have confidence that MODE CONCRETE has created all openings, cutouts, and clearances accurately, for your outdoor kitchen accessories and grills.  Our outdoor kitchen frames have amazing structural durability and are designed specifically for each individual project.

Steps for creating the luxury outdoor kitchen of your dreams:

1. set up a consultation with MODE CONCRETE
2. brainstorming stage... get ready any sketches, pictures, or ideas you have
3. think about the budget you want to stay within
4. make a wish list of the features you would like to see in your outdoor kitchen and living space
5. view our website and our suppliers lines for more ideas
6. meet with MODE CONCRETE, where we come see the space in person and talk to you about how to design your outdoor kitchen 
7. after we have dimensions of the space and any specific requests (favorite outdoor grill, must haves, design preference) we provide you a written estimate for the agreed design
8. upon your approval we finalize the estimated costs and all details at this point, you select the finishing touches (countertops, exterior)
9. you accept the estimate, contracts are signed (and deposit cheque is given)
10. MODE CONCRETE will begin building your outdoor kitchen and import any outdoor kitchen items required for your outdoor kitchen (all appliances are shipped directly to your project location)
11. arrangements for gas, electrical and plumbing may need to be made at this stage (we assist with any necessary scheduling)
12. we install the equipment, accessories and make sure everything is working perfectly

Before we do any work or start building your outdoor kitchen, we all sign the official contracts, get your approval on any designs and talk about any final questions we need to address before fabrication commences.  A deposit is needed to book you into our schedule (we get this when signing the contracts) and currently we are taking bookings for a month away.  An average outdoor kitchen usually takes 2-3 weeks to complete once we begin fabricating at your start date. We always stay on schedule, on budget and continuously receive glowing reviews from our clients.

Outdoor kitchens will have a great return on your investment and make your home stand out when trying to sell. They encourage easy entertaining and create a personal oasis, increasing your personal enjoyment and adding value to your life. Who doesn't want their home to feel like a resort? Our outdoor-living season stretches from March through November, for those of us lucky enough to call the Okanagan 'home.' That means many buyers and and homeowners carefully evaluate and try to maximize their exterior spaces.  Outdoor kitchens, pizza ovens, pergolas, covered patios, outdoor fireplaces and outdoor bars are among the hottest alfresco trends right now.

Most homes have an outdoor eating area, and having an outdoor kitchen further encourages and enhances your outdoor living space.  Many of these kitchens have small cabinets with under-counter refrigerators. Some include sinks, most include a built in cooking unit of some sort (BBQ, grill, pizza oven, burners). The most luxurious items include cocktail stations and imported Italian pizza ovens.  Every outdoor kitchen needs one thing that sparkles and acts as a focal point to your kitchen - is there a 'must have' or anything that particularly stands out when you envision your outdoor kitchen?

Renovation quality is key when determining whether an outdoor addition will have a positive or negative resale effect on your space. Do-it-yourself projects can sometimes erode value, if poor materials or workmanship are used for the project. Research all your options before making any decisions and if you go with a contractor, make sure they are reputable and know what they are doing.  

And finally, the design is probably the most critical part of planning any outdoor living space.  What will maximize space, encourage easy entertaining, and not inhibit the flow of your space?  Most times it's best to get a professional designer and if you can, check out some 3D renders or sketched renderings to really see how your space will look before you begin construction.  

MODE CONCRETE can help you with any component of your outdoor kitchen project. We offer free estimates and one free on-site consultation.  Contact us today to book your appointment.

Mode Concrete are experts in the application of durable, affordable EPOXY surfaces - concrete professionals located in Kelowna BC

Transform dull or damaged concrete concrete into a brilliantly painted surface with a durable, professional quality epoxy floor finish... but best of all, it usually only takes us 2 days!  It's an affordable, easy, and stunning way to finish many different concrete surfaces.  Epoxy is great for residential, commercial or industrial applications.

These following images are a project that MODE CONCRETE recently completed in the Okanagan.  It's an older concrete waterfront patio that needed to be refinishing and coated with an epoxy coating.  Many different colors available and we only use the highest quality finishes available on the market.  For a professional experience with professional results, contact us today to see how we can help you!

Epoxy is a tough, long-lasting coating that you apply on top of the concrete. It resists grease, oil and many other substances that would ruin ordinary paint. It cleans easily and can be found in a variety of colors, so you can keep your concrete maintaining, durable, sparkling clean and attractive for years to come.

However, if attempting a DIY of this challenging project, be warned that without the proper products or concrete preparation, you might have a headache to deal with.  By preparing concrete properly, filling any cracks and degreasing the surface, this job can be labor intensive and tedious. As with any other paint job, success lies in the prep work.  That said, if you are located in the Okanagan Mode Concrete can come and help you assess your concrete’s condition and let you know what options are available for any new or existing concrete surface.

We always tell our customers the available options to them, give written estimates, get all of our clients from referrals and have an amazing reputation in the Okanagan Valley!  We are reasonably priced, professional, stay on schedule and stay within the estimated price.  We only use top quality tradesmen, techniques and materials.  Contact us today to see how we stand out from the competition!
