Get Your Free Merritt Island EstimateMerritt Island homeowners looking for outdoor kitchen have one local choice with ELSO Contracting. We are a licensed, insured Brevard County remodeling contractor serving a barrier island community between the Indian and Banana Rivers, with crews working Courtenay, North Merritt Island, and South Merritt Island every week. This page covers what makes outdoor kitchen in Merritt Island different from other parts of Florida, what it typically costs, what permits and code requirements apply, and how we deliver projects with transparent pricing and no surprises.
Merritt Island's climate makes outdoor kitchens one of the best-ROI projects we install. Year-round usability, with maybe a few weeks of "too hot" in midsummer, means an outdoor kitchen here is used 40-50 weekends per year - far more than in colder climates. We build outdoor kitchens for Merritt Island properties ranging from modest patio bar setups to full kitchen-with-pizza-oven installations on covered lanais near Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
Outdoor kitchen materials face brutal conditions in Merritt Island: salt air (especially within a mile of the coast), UV exposure, occasional hurricane debris, and constant humidity. We use 304 stainless steel for all visible metal, marine-grade plywood substrates with appropriate sealing, and concrete or porcelain countertops rather than natural stone (which spalls in salt-heavy environments). Hood vents are properly anchored for hurricane wind loads.
