Backyard Living: Covered Outdoor Kitchens and BBQ Areas We’ve Built

From our job sites

Your backyard, your second living room.

Some of the best family memories happen outside — the barbecue on a Friday night, birthday parties on the lawn, a quiet coffee under a roof while it rains. These are real outdoor kitchens and covered BBQ areas built by our team for families in Montreal and the surrounding areas.

A roof over the barbecue changes everything

In Quebec, the outdoor season is short, so every evening outside counts. A covered BBQ area lets you cook rain or shine, keeps the sun off your guests, and turns a simple patio into a real room. We build the structure in solid timber, anchor it properly to resist our winds and snow loads, and finish it so it looks just as good from the house as it does from the yard.

How we build your outdoor space

  • We listen first. How many people do you host? Where does the sun hit in the evening? We design around how your family actually uses the yard.
  • Built for Quebec winters. Proper footings, solid connections and roofs designed for snow loads.
  • Your yard is respected. We protect your lawn, gardens and pool area while we work, and leave the site clean every day.
  • Finished with care. Clean cuts, hidden fasteners where possible and a finish that ages well.

Trust isn’t built by pictures. It’s built by action.

Every one of these spaces started with a conversation in the client’s backyard. If you are dreaming of an outdoor kitchen, a covered BBQ area or a pavilion, we would love to hear about it — and build it one blueprint at a time.
