Embrace the Miami Lifestyle, Elevated

Miami is defined by its relationship with the outdoors. The subtropical climate, lush tropical vegetation, and year-round warmth create an environment where outdoor living is not an occasional luxury — it is a way of life. At Royal Builders Miami, we design and construct outdoor living spaces that honor this lifestyle with the same quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that we bring to every interior project.

From custom summer kitchens that rival your indoor cooking space to covered patios, pergolas, pool decks, and complete outdoor entertainment areas, we transform your backyard into a seamless extension of your home — a space where memories are made and the boundaries between indoors and outdoors dissolve.

Custom Summer Kitchens

A summer kitchen is the centerpiece of Miami outdoor living. It transforms casual grilling into a sophisticated culinary experience, eliminates the constant back-and-forth between your indoor kitchen and patio, and creates a natural gathering point for family and guests. Our custom summer kitchen designs are tailored to your cooking style, entertainment needs, and property layout.

Kitchen Components and Features

Every summer kitchen we build is fully customized. Common features include:

  • Built-in gas or charcoal grills from premium brands with rotisserie attachments and side burners
  • Natural stone or porcelain countertops that withstand weather while providing elegant work surfaces
  • Outdoor-rated refrigerators and ice makers for convenient beverage and food storage
  • Stainless steel sinks with hot and cold water connections for food preparation and cleanup
  • Storage cabinetry in marine-grade polymer or stainless steel that resists moisture and UV damage
  • Bar seating and serving counters that create social gathering spaces around the cooking area
  • Pizza ovens and smokers for culinary enthusiasts who want expanded cooking capabilities

We coordinate all gas, electrical, and plumbing connections with proper permits and inspections, ensuring your outdoor kitchen is as safe and code-compliant as it is impressive.

Covered Patios and Pergolas

A covered outdoor space dramatically expands the usability of your yard. In Miami, where afternoon thunderstorms arrive with clockwork regularity during summer months and the tropical sun demands shelter, a properly designed cover structure is essential for comfortable year-round outdoor living.

Solid Roof Covers

Our insulated solid roof patio covers provide complete protection from rain and sun while reducing heat transmission. Constructed with aluminum or composite framing and finished to complement your home’s architecture, these structures create truly weather-independent outdoor rooms.

Pergolas and Louvered Systems

For those who prefer filtered light and open-air ambiance, we design and install pergolas in wood, aluminum, and composite materials. Motorized louvered pergola systems offer the ultimate in flexibility — fully open for stargazing, fully closed for rain protection, and adjustable to any position for customized shade throughout the day.

Screen Enclosures

Florida screen enclosures extend your outdoor season by creating insect-free environments that still connect you to the tropical breeze and garden views. We build screened-in patios and pool cages with structural aluminum framing designed to meet South Florida’s wind load requirements.

Pool Deck Design and Resurfacing

Your pool deck is the stage upon which your outdoor lifestyle unfolds. The material, texture, color, and layout of your deck surface dramatically influence both aesthetics and comfort. We specialize in pool deck installations and resurfacing using materials selected for their beauty, slip resistance, and heat performance under the Miami sun.

Preferred Pool Deck Materials

  • Travertine pavers — Natural stone with an inherently cool surface and timeless elegance
  • Porcelain pavers — Exceptional durability, stain resistance, and design versatility
  • Concrete overlays — Cost-effective resurfacing with decorative stamping and coloring options
  • Brick pavers — Classic appeal with excellent grip and durability

Every pool deck installation includes proper drainage planning, expansion joint design, and non-slip surface treatment to ensure safety and longevity.

Outdoor Lighting Design

The right lighting transforms your outdoor space from a daytime amenity into an evening destination. We design layered lighting systems that create atmosphere, ensure safety, and highlight your property’s best features after dark.

Our outdoor lighting services include pathway and step lighting for safety, uplighting for trees and architectural features, task lighting for cooking and dining areas, ambient string lighting and lanterns for entertaining, and energy-efficient LED systems with smart home integration.

Weather-Resistant Material Selection

South Florida’s climate is simultaneously beautiful and punishing. The combination of intense UV radiation, salt-laden coastal air, tropical humidity, and seasonal hurricane-force winds requires materials and construction techniques specifically chosen for this environment.

Every material in our outdoor living projects is vetted for its performance under these conditions:

  • Structural elements use marine-grade aluminum, pressure-treated lumber, or concrete block construction rated for South Florida wind loads
  • Countertops are natural stone, engineered quartz, or porcelain — materials that resist staining, heat, and UV degradation
  • Hardware and fasteners are stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized to prevent corrosion
  • Appliances carry outdoor-rated certifications with marine-grade stainless steel construction
  • Finishes include UV-stable coatings and powder-coat treatments that maintain their appearance through years of sun exposure

Year-Round Enjoyment by Design

Unlike northern climates where outdoor spaces are seasonal amenities, Miami’s outdoor living spaces serve as daily-use extensions of the home twelve months a year. This reality shapes every design decision we make. Ceiling fans and misting systems manage summer heat. Covered structures provide shelter from afternoon rains. Thoughtful orientation captures evening breezes while blocking harsh afternoon sun. The result is an outdoor space that is not merely usable year-round, but genuinely inviting in every season.

Common Outdoor Living & Summer Kitchens Questions

Do summer kitchens need permits in Miami?

Yes. Most summer kitchen installations in Miami-Dade and Broward counties require building permits, especially when involving gas lines, electrical work, plumbing, or structural elements like roof covers and pergolas. Royal Builders handles all permit applications and inspections as part of every outdoor living project.

What materials work best for outdoor kitchens in Miami?

We recommend marine-grade stainless steel appliances, natural stone or porcelain countertops, and weather-resistant cabinetry materials such as marine polymer or stainless steel. For structures, we use aluminum pergolas, concrete block construction, and pressure-treated or composite lumber. All materials are selected for their ability to withstand UV radiation, salt air, and tropical humidity.

Can you build an outdoor kitchen next to my existing pool?

Absolutely. We regularly design and build summer kitchens adjacent to pool areas. We ensure proper setbacks from the pool edge per code, install non-slip surfaces around the cooking area, and design the layout to create a seamless flow between pool, dining, and cooking zones for the ultimate entertainment experience.

How much does a summer kitchen cost in Miami?

Summer kitchen costs vary widely based on size, materials, and features. A well-appointed outdoor kitchen with built-in grill, countertops, sink, and refrigerator typically ranges from $15,000 to $50,000 or more for premium installations with full roofing, bar seating, and entertainment systems. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your space and discussing your vision.
