Custom Outdoor Kitchens Built for Real Florida Living

 Step outside and imagine a kitchen that doesn’t just sit in your backyard — it belongs there. At Surface Rocket, we combine smart design, tough, climate-tested materials, and practical know-how to create outdoor kitchens that thrive in Florida’s sun, humidity, and salty air — while making your home more enjoyable, functional, and valuable 

Start Your Outdoor Kitchen Consultation

What a Custom Outdoor Kitchen Actually Is

A true outdoor kitchen isn’t a grill island with a couple of cabinets slapped on the back patio. It’s an extension of your living space — a working environment shaped around how you cook, gather, and move. The appliances, surfaces, and layout all serve a purpose, and every element is engineered for daily use in Florida’s conditions.

Florida’s Climate Creates Different Rules

Most outdoor kitchens fail because they’re built as if they’re in Arizona or North Carolina. Florida rewrites the rules:


  • High UV index causes rapid fading and micro-cracking in common countertop materials.
  • Humidity creates swelling, delamination, and corrosion in traditional cabinetry.
  • Coastal salt air accelerates metal breakdown and stains porous surfaces in months, not years.
  • Afternoon storms overwhelm flat patios with poor drainage, leading to settlement and instability.


We select materials the same way a custom builder does — for resistance, longevity, and structural integrity, not aesthetics alone.

Why Florida homeowners are adding CEMkraft Outdoor Kitchens

 When a backyard works the way it should, it becomes part of the home’s daily rhythm — a place to cook, host, cool down, and unwind.


  • More room to entertain without clogging the indoor kitchen.
  • An expanded living area where patios, lanais, and pool decks finally play a role.
  • Better climate control as heat, smoke, and smells stay outside.
  • Higher property value, especially in hot-climate states where outdoor living is standard.
  • A cleaner design flow, especially when the kitchen connects naturally to seating, shade, and poolside activity.

Florida homeowners are choosing CEMkraft Outdoor Kitchens as an alternative to lengthy construction projects.

Choosing a Layout That Matches How You Live

The right layout determines whether your outdoor kitchen becomes a showpiece or a space people actually use. We consider traffic flow, sun exposure, utility locations, and furniture placement before recommending a layout. 

Straight-Line (S-Series)

Perfect for slim patios or narrow lanais. A single run keeps cooking simple, guests out of the way, and airflow near poolside seating for comfort and shade.

L-Shape (L-Series)

Ideal for corners or medium spaces. Two intersecting areas separate prep and cooking, improving usability while hosting. Pergolas or pavilions add protection from sun and rain. 

U-Shape (U-Series)

Built for large gatherings. Multiple workstations, bar seating, and dedicated storage create a full-service kitchen that supports social cooking, parties, and poolside entertaining. 

Galley / Parallel Layout

Best for elongated lanais or breezeways. Two opposing counters maintain clear workflow and allow multiple chefs to cook comfortably while keeping the area ventilated and shaded.

The CEMkraft Modular System

The Fastest, Cleanest, Most Durable Way to Build a Florida Outdoor Kitchen

Traditional masonry builds drag on for weeks, make a mess, and require structural work most homes weren’t designed for. CEMkraft solves all of it.


These engineered modules lock together in one to two days, mimic the look of premium stonework, and outperform wood, block, and metal in Florida’s heat, humidity, and storms. No curing time. No heavy foundations. No construction chaos.


Why Homeowners Choose CEMkraft


  • Engineered Composite CEMent PANELS: Purpose-built to resist rot, swelling, corrosion, and impact damage.
  • 10,000 PSI Strength: Architectural-grade durability that holds up to daily use and Florida’s climate extremes.
  • Lightweight & Surface-Safe: Installs on lanais, patios, and pavers—no structural reinforcement needed.
  • Premium Stone Aesthetic: Realistic textures and color palettes inspired by natural stone architecture.
  • Fast Installation (1–2 Days): Eliminates the long, messy timelines of masonry or block builds.


Modular Configurations

Built-in grills • BBQ islands • Refrigeration • Prep stations • Storage • Drawers • Bar seating • 6’ modules available + custom layouts.


Ideal For

An affordable designer solution for homeowners who want a high-end outdoor kitchen that installs fast, performs in Florida’s climate, and delivers a refined architectural finish without the disruption of traditional construction.

Design Styles for Florida Homes

Design Styles for Florida Homes

Your outdoor kitchen should feel like a natural extension of your home. Each style is matched with counters, textures, and lighting that reinforce your property’s architecture — not fight it.

Modern Minimalist

Clean lines, large-format surfaces, and concealed storage create a sleek, uncluttered look.

Best with: polished overlays, cool-toned counters, subtle linear LED lighting.

Coastal

Soft whites, driftwood tones, and breezy layouts that reflect Florida’s shoreline aesthetic.

Best with: light stone or resin-bound surfaces, textured overlays, warm ambient lighting.

Mediterranean

Warm stone, arched forms, and earthy textures inspired by Tuscan and Spanish influences.

Best with: rustic stone or concrete counters, stamped overlays, lantern-style fixtures.

Rustic

Natural textures, stacked stone, and rugged metals for a grounded, organic atmosphere.
 

Best with: concrete or granite counters, heavy-texture overlays, warm accent lighting.

Resort-Inspired / Tropical

Dark woods, bar seating, lush accents, and layered lighting for a high-end, vacation feel.


Best with: natural stone counters, resin-bound aggregates, integrated ambient lighting. 

Materials That Survive Florida’s Environment

 Every kitchen is only as strong as the materials behind it. 

Countertops

  • Granite handles heat, UV exposure, and humidity with minimal maintenance.
  • Porcelain stays cool, resists scratching, and doesn’t absorb moisture.
  • Concrete offers full customization but needs periodic sealing.
  • Quartzite provides luxury with natural heat resistance. 

Cabinets

  • Professional-grade polymer is waterproof, UV-stable, and non-corrosive.
  • 316 stainless steel is ideal for coastal homes where 304 would pit quickly.
  • Masonry or concrete is rugged but slower to install. 

Surfaces & Finishes

  • Textured overlays for slip resistance and durability.
  • Stamped overlays for decorative stone looks that tolerate heat.
  • Seal Stone Resin Bound Aggregate System for elegant, drain-friendly surfaces.

Avoid interior-grade quartz, standard tiles, and cheap metals — they fail fast in Florida.

Making Smart Surface Decisions

Your surface determines safety, comfort, and long-term durability — especially in Florida’s heat and humidity. Here’s how to match each material to the right location so you avoid slipping hazards, hot surfaces, drainage issues, and premature wear. 

Slip Resistance

Slip Resistance

Slip Resistance

  • Textured Overlays: Best for pool edges, walk paths, and high-traffic areas.
  • Resin-Bound Stone: Great for barefoot comfort; avoid in tight decorative areas where texture matters. 

Heat Management

Slip Resistance

Slip Resistance

  • Resin-Bound Stone: Stays significantly cooler for open-air lounging and dining.
  • CEMcool HR Sealer: Reflects heat and reduces surface temperatures which is essential in Florida's climate. 

Drainage

Maintenance & Longevity

Maintenance & Longevity

  • Textured Overlays: Ideal for sloped patios and areas prone to heavy rain.
  • Resin-Bound Stone: Permeable enough for poolside areas; avoid under heavy appliances. 

Maintenance & Longevity

Maintenance & Longevity

Maintenance & Longevity

  • Stamped or Decorative Overlays: Beautiful for kitchen surrounds; ensure proper sealing in grease-prone areas.
  • Seal Stone Finishes: Low maintenance and a permeable solution for drainage which assists in low maintenance and high longevity. 

 Bottom Line: 

 

Choosing the wrong surface leads to heat buildup, slippery areas, and drainage failures — issues we eliminate through proper material selection and design engineering from day one.

Design-Build Process

Step 1: Space Assessment & Flow Planning

We analyze your backyard's sun patterns, wind direction,

existing utilities, and traffic flow to create a kitchen that works with your

lifestyle.

Step 2: Layout & Material Selection

Choose from our Florida-tested materials and layouts. We provide

3D renderings so you can visualize your new space before construction begins.

Step 3: Appliance Integration & Utilities Plan

We coordinate with licensed partners for all gas, electrical, and plumbing connections,

ensuring everything meets Florida building codes.

Step 4: Build & Surface Finishing

Our licensed crew handles everything from foundation to finish

work, using climate-appropriate construction methods.

Step 5: Final Inspection & Handoff

 We walk you through every feature, provide maintenance guidelines, and register your warranties.

Pricing & Build Options

Cost follows four major drivers: layout, materials, appliances, and utility requirements.


  • Basic builds: grill, counter, essential storage
  • Mid-range: upgraded surfaces, better appliances, custom layouts
  • Luxury: bar seating, multiple cooking zones, premium finishes, fire features


Timelines range from 1–2 days for modular builds to 2–3 weeks for large custom projects.

Why Outdoor Kitchens Fail in Florida — and How We Avoid It

Most failures come down to avoidable mistakes:


  • UV damage from unprotected counters
  • Moisture swelling in wood-based cabinets
  • Corrosion from salt air on low-grade metals
  • Cracked surfaces from poor installation and prep
  • Improper drainage causing settlement and shifting


We counter all of this with professional-grade materials, proper airflow and ventilation planning, drainage design, and construction methods specifically adapted for Florida.
