What We Do
Build, Repair, or Upgrade Your Outdoor Kitchen in San Antonio
Easter Concrete Contracting is the outdoor kitchen contractor San Antonio homeowners call when they want a backyard kitchen that actually gets used, not a Pinterest board that never gets built. For over 25 years, we've designed and built outdoor kitchens across San Antonio, Helotes, and Alamo Heights, plus the surrounding areas, bringing beauty, function, and lasting quality to backyards of every size.
We turn underused patios and plain concrete slabs into cooking and entertaining spaces that become the centre of every gathering. Whether you're starting from scratch, replacing a tired old setup, or expanding into a full outdoor living area, our team designs and builds outdoor kitchen buildings with reinforced concrete, weather-resistant finishes, and premium outdoor-rated appliances the kind of construction that holds up long after the honeymoon phase of a new backyard wears off.
No flimsy prefab kits. No countertops that crack after one summer. Just built-in grills, durable countertops, and fireplaces engineered for South Texas weather and built to last.
As one of the more established backyard kitchen contractors in the San Antonio area, we've seen what fails and what holds up, and we build accordingly.
Sound Familiar?
Your Outdoor Kitchen Should Bring People Together, Not Problems.
Outdoor kitchen problems often start with details that are easy to overlook during installation. Here are four areas we pay close attention to when planning and building an outdoor kitchen.
A properly built custom outdoor kitchen should stay level, strong, and durable for decades, not just until the first hard rain.
01
Countertops Cracking After One Winter
Outdoor countertops face repeated heat, cold, moisture, and temperature changes. Materials and installation methods suited for indoor use may not perform well outdoors.
03
Water Pooling Around the Countertops or Base
An outdoor kitchen needs to handle rain, runoff, and routine cleaning. Poor surface slope or inadequate drainage can leave water sitting around countertops, cabinets, and the kitchen base.
02
A Grill Area Without Proper Ventilation
Built-in grills require adequate airflow around the appliance and proper clearances. Without it, heat can build up around the grill enclosure and affect surrounding components.
04
Gas & Electrical Installed as an Afterthought
Consider gas, electrical, and other utility connections before finalising the kitchen layout. Retrofitting utilities after construction can mean extra work and may create code or access issues.
Outdoor Kitchen Buildings Made for San Antonio Weather
San Antonio doesn't do "mild." Triple-digit summers, sudden downpours, and humidity that finds every weak seam, it's a tough environment for anything built outdoors, and most outdoor kitchen buildings aren't designed with that in mind. Ours are.
We start with a reinforced concrete frame, then layer in outdoor-rated appliances, sealed stone or concrete countertops, and UV-resistant finishes that won't fade, crack, or warp under direct Texas sun. Built-in grills are set with proper ventilation and heat clearance. Cabinets are sealed against moisture so they don't swell or rot after a wet spring. Every outdoor kitchen building we construct is designed to be low-maintenance for the long haul, not just good-looking on install day.
What that means for your backyard:
- Durable — reinforced construction that isn't rattled by heat, storms, or freeze-thaw swings
- Reliable — outdoor-rated appliances and sealed materials that perform season after season
- Timeless — classic stone, brick, and concrete finishes that don't date themselves
- Low-Maintenance — less resealing, less repairing, more actual cooking
What We Do
Transform Your Backyard Into a Culinary Escape!
Every outdoor space is different, so we offer patio cover styles that balance shade, airflow, and design, built to match your home and how you actually live outside.

What Goes Wrong When You Hire the Wrong Outdoor Kitchen Contractor
Most outdoor kitchen problems don't show up on installation day, they show up six months later, once the first real Texas summer or the first hard rain has had its say. After 25+ years of repairing other contractors' work across San Antonio, here's what we see most often, and how we build to avoid it from day one.
Countertops cracking after one season.
❌The Problem
Indoor-grade stone and standard concrete weren't made for constant heat and cold swings. They look fine on day one and start cracking or chipping by the following spring.
✔ Our Solution
No slope on the countertop, no drainage planned at the base — rain sits, stains set in, and the structure underneath starts breaking down within a year or two.
No ventilation around the grill.
❌The Problem
Built-in grills need proper airflow underneath. Skip it, and you're looking at heat buildup and a real gas-safety risk, not just an inconvenience.
✔ Our Solution
Every grill station we build follows proper clearance and ventilation standards.
Water pooling on counters and at the base.
❌The Problem
No slope on the countertop, no drainage planned at the base — rain sits, stains set in, and the structure underneath starts breaking down within a year or two.
✔ Our Solution
We engineer drainage into every outdoor kitchen we build, not as an afterthought.
Gas and electrical work done without permits.
❌The Problem
Unpermitted gas lines and outdoor electrical aren't just a code issue — they're a liability that can surface during a home sale or insurance claim.
✔ Our Solution
We handle permitting and coordinate licensed gas and electrical work on every project.
