Your local grill & outdoor kitchen builder & retailer in san antonio
Custom outdoor kitchen design & build tailored to your space
At Cozy Fireplace and Patio, we specialize in designing custom outdoor kitchens that are uniquely tailored to fit your existing patio space. Unlike other outdoor kitchen providers who offer cookie-cutter solutions, our approach ensures that every detail of your project is thoughtfully designed to enhance your home.
Travis Ponder, the owner, emphasized the importance of showing clients exactly how their new outdoor kitchen will fit into their current space. "We take pride in providing a rendering of each outdoor kitchen project, so customers can visualize how it looks in their own backyard. Everything is to scale, and this allows them to make adjustments to details they might not have considered, like outlet placement or space between the grill and sink."
With Cozy, you’ll never have to imagine how your outdoor kitchen will look—we bring it to life before construction even begins.
