Tempe is hot and dry, so ask how the plan shades the cooking area and which countertop suits an exposed island. Ask who connects the gas and electrical lines, how the island footing is built and whether permits are pulled. Six of the 10 matched an active licence on the Registrar of Contractors posting list of 7 October 2026, the same 60% share seen for outdoor living companies statewide, and 4 hold a 21-class licence. TMC Custom Pools & Renovations is matched under B-5. Ask which class covers your quote and look the company up on the ROC's free search.

Common questions about outdoor kitchens and living spaces in Tempe

Can a Tempe outdoor kitchen company also redo my pool deck?

Most of them can do both. Nine of the 10 Tempe outdoor living companies build hardscape, and some, including Greenheart Landscapes, LLC, list pool deck resurfacing. If the kitchen sits beside the pool, ask whether the deck and patio around the island are quoted together, which paver or surface product is proposed, how drainage away from the pool is handled and whether sealing is included.

Will a Tempe company design my outdoor kitchen before building it?

All 10 Tempe companies offering outdoor kitchens design and install, and 8 list landscape design plans, several with 3D renderings. Ask whether the design is a separate fee or part of the build price, how many changes are included, and whether the drawings show the island, appliances, gas and electrical runs, lighting and shade in one layout before you approve anything.

Do Tempe outdoor kitchen builders hold active ROC licences?

Six of the 10 (60%) were matched to an active licence on the Registrar of Contractors list dated 7 October 2026, the same as the statewide share for this service, and 4 of them hold a 21-class licence. Four could not be matched on that list, so ask them for a licence number, and check every company on the ROC's free contractor search.
