The 7 Mistakes Our Principals Have Seen on Hundreds of Builds
Grill Size & Flange Math
Most homeowners measure wrong. Undersized grills look cheap. Oversized grills don't fit.
No Ventilation Clearance
You can't see this problem coming. Smoke pours into your house and your warranty is void.
Wrong Stainless Steel Grade
One lasts 15 years. One rusts in 18 months. Most can't tell the difference near saltwater.
No Drainage or Flat Pad
Water pools where it shouldn't. Foundation cracks. Appliances rust from underneath.
Cooking Surface Direction Wrong
Sun exposure and wind patterns matter. Get this wrong and it's uncomfortable to use every day.
Gas Line Too Small
Your grill works fine at 50%. Try full power and you're disappointed every single time.
No Electrical or Lighting Plan
Outlets, lighting circuits, smart controls. Retrofitting costs 3x what planning ahead does.
