Our Process
Deck, Patio, Outdoor Kitchen Installation Process No payment until you’re 100% satisfied! After 15 years as San Diego’s patio, deck and outdoor kitchen installation company, Block Island has gotten permitting and installation procedures nailed down. Every supervisor and crew sticks to our fail-proof and tested steps for: filing permits, arranging homeowners’ association approval, scheduling, financing, preparing the space, keeping homeowners up-to-date, and building and cleaning up.
We’ve worked around and with all kinds of construction, landscaping, city and even neighbor challenges to create some of the most beautiful outdoor spaces in San Diego. Have an addition that gives your house an unusual outline? We’ve seen it. Yard hopelessly uneven and hard? We’ve dug through it. We get jobs done with as little hassle to the homeowner as possible. Curious as to how things will go during your new install? These steps clarify the process:
1. Contact & Initial Meeting: Once you contact us, we schedule an appointment to come to your home. There, we get an idea of your decorating style, home, neighborhood, the space you’re looking to improve and any challenges that may arise. We record measurements and other details. As you look through the photos of our recent work, we get an idea of your tastes and desires. We can also discuss financing at this initial meeting. Block Island is one of the very few San Diego companies that offers financing! Rest assured, too, that we collect no money until the client is 100% satisfied.
2. Block Island Creates a 3-D Model: Back at our office, we put your vision onto paper and monitor with our 3-D modeling program, a benefit most other companies sidestep. We then schedule a second appointment with you at your home.
3. Second Meeting: At our second meeting, we bring sample materials, colors and more photo books to show you what each looks like in finished form. If need be, we gather more information from you and add it into our drawing. We determine a week or day to start work.

Kitchens & Fire Pits
From Simple to Sophisticated: San Diego Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Pits Cook and Entertain Outdoors in San Diego’s Perfect Twilight! America’s “foodie” trend has brought gourmet cooking skills, farm-fresh produce and grass-fed beef into the home. These flavor enhancements can only be made better by one thing: outdoor dining. The outdoor dining trend has been great fun for us at Block Island Deck and Patio. We’ve installed outdoor cooking areas as simple as one counter top with a grill and a few barstools to an outdoor kitchen so tricked out our crew never wanted to leave! Get an outdoor kitchen with one, two or all of the following: The pre-requisite giant barbeque grill Double stainless steel sinks A brick pizza oven Refrigerator (1 or more) Granite or stone countertops A fire pit built into the countertop A television Food drawers
* Fireplace * Gas-plumbed Island * Conversation area * Hard-scaping * Gas heaters * Accent lighting * Umbrella holders * Drink sink
. . . all in one, beautiful, continuous design! In the outdoor kitchen, deck and patio business for 15 years, we’ve satisfied every culinary desire the avid outdoor cook can dream up. We work with composite, wood or stone deck materials, granite and marble countertops, hardscaping, gas and electrical lines and more. We know the outdoor furniture dealers and how to match our designs with what they offer. We can even put a pergola or gazebo over the whole layout. When you don’t need an outdoor kitchen fit for Hollywood royalty, we can install lovely kitchen options that still get everybody outside. After all, even without a bun-warming drawer, that grilled steak is just as tender and delicious.
3-Dimensional Outdoor Kitchen Design Plans that Whet Your Appetite . . . Your Block Island plan will blend building materials and design options into the spacious and inviting or cozy and intimate space of your dreams. The variety of options we offer families is unmatched in San Diego and Southern California. We typically meet with a homeowner twice before starting work–once to get an overall feel for your lifestyle, needs and vision for the space and again to show you the plans we’ve created. Our straight-forward, streamlined work process makes each step clear and manageable. Once work starts, you can keep close tabs on your new space by using our handy online project management tool. You simply log in to the tool to find and send any emails to your project supervisor, a crew member or even the company owner. This is where you can forward progress to your spouse or other family members as well. The online project management tool helps keep everyone on task and organized.
Gather Family and Friends Around the Fire Pit What is it about a fire that unifies and relaxes people? Warmth and ever-changing flames just seem to give everyone lots to talk about. Promising toasty marshmallows moves crowds outdoors quickly, too. Working with dozens of product lines, Block Island Deck and Patio, will help you create an irresistible gathering space. Rest assured that we have quality fire pits for every budget. There are lots of solutions to proper placement, safety and gas line accessibility as well. We can help you see all of your options during our in-home consultation.
Hard-to-Find Financing from Block Island Gets Your Project Started During our 15 years working with San Diego families, we’ve come to appreciate that the children are only young once or that you may be living here by the coast for a few more years. The time to get out and enjoy is now. 20
