Unity Flooring & Interiors designs and builds custom outdoor kitchens throughout Southwest Florida. From weatherproof cabinetry and stone countertops to tile backsplashes and paver flooring — we bring every trade in-house so your outdoor kitchen is built right, built to last, and finished beautifully.
One Contractor. Every Trade. Your Dream Outdoor Kitchen.
Southwest Florida's climate is made for outdoor living — 300 days of sunshine, warm evenings, and a lifestyle that revolves around being outside. An outdoor kitchen is the single best investment you can make to maximize that lifestyle, and in SWFL's competitive real estate market, a well-built outdoor kitchen consistently delivers strong returns at resale.
The challenge is that outdoor kitchens involve multiple trades — structural framing, countertops, tile, cabinetry, pavers, and appliance installation all need to work together seamlessly. At Unity, we handle every single trade in-house. One estimate, one crew, one schedule, zero headaches from first design consultation to the day you fire up the grill for the first time.

Everything We Handle In Your Outdoor Kitchen
From the structural frame to the finishing grout line — every element designed, supplied, and installed by our own licensed crew under one contract.
Custom Design & Layout
Every great outdoor kitchen starts with a thoughtful design. We create a layout that fits your space, suits your cooking style, and integrates seamlessly with your existing patio, pool deck, or lanai.
- On-site consultation and space assessment
- Custom layout for your specific footprint
- Appliance placement and workflow planning
- Material and finish selection guidance
- Integration with existing hardscape and landscaping
- Covered lanai and open-air design options
Weatherproof Cabinetry
Standard indoor cabinetry will warp, rust, and fail in Florida's outdoor environment within a few years. We install cabinetry systems engineered specifically for outdoor use — moisture-proof, UV-resistant, and built for the heat.
- Marine-grade polymer and stainless steel cabinet systems
- UV-resistant doors and drawer fronts
- Stainless steel hardware and soft-close hinges
- Under-counter refrigerator and kegerator cutouts
- Trash pull-out and storage drawer integration
- Custom sizing to fit any outdoor kitchen footprint
Outdoor Countertops
Your countertops need to handle heat, UV exposure, spills, and heavy use without cracking, staining, or fading. We install countertop materials specifically rated for outdoor performance in Florida's climate.
- Porcelain slab countertops — the top outdoor choice for SWFL
- Granite countertops for outdoor kitchens
- Concrete countertops and poured-in-place options
- Stainless steel countertop sections
- Built-in grill cutout templating and installation
- Waterfall edge and custom profile options
Tile & Stone Cladding
Tile transforms an outdoor kitchen from functional to stunning. Whether it's a backsplash behind the grill, stone veneer on the kitchen frame, or decorative tile on the bar front — our tile team brings the same precision outdoors as in.
- Outdoor-rated tile backsplash installation
- Natural stone and porcelain veneer on kitchen frames
- Bar front and kitchen island tile cladding
- Mosaic and decorative accent tile
- Weatherproof grout and outdoor-rated sealant
- Matching tile to interior kitchen or pool area
Paver Flooring & Surrounds
The paver flooring around your outdoor kitchen ties the entire space together. We install paver flooring that coordinates with your kitchen design, handles heavy foot traffic and spills, and drains properly in Florida's rain.
- Travertine, concrete, and brick paver installation
- Outdoor kitchen pad and prep area paving
- Seamless connection to pool deck or patio
- Proper drainage grading around cooking areas
- Slip-resistant surface selection for safety
- Paver sealing for stain and grease protection

- Overhead pergola and shade structure finishing
- Decorative trim and corbel installation
- Bar top framing and custom woodwork

Fort Myers homeowners are investing in outdoor living spaces at a record pace — and outdoor kitchens are consistently at the top of the list. A custom outdoor kitchen dramatically expands your usable living space, elevates your entertaining experience, and delivers strong returns in Lee County's real estate market.

Outdoor Kitchen Installation in Cape Coral, FL
Cape Coral's waterfront properties and canal homes are perfect candidates for outdoor kitchen installations — and our team understands the specific challenges that come with building in a salt-air, high-humidity coastal environment. Every material we specify for Cape Coral outdoor kitchens is chosen for its corrosion resistance, UV stability, and ability to hold up to the coastal climate without constant maintenance. We've built outdoor kitchens on waterfront lots, screened lanais, and open-air pool decks throughout all quadrants of Cape Coral.
Outdoor Kitchen Installation in Naples, FL
Naples homeowners expect a premium level of design and material quality — and our outdoor kitchen installations reflect that standard. We install premium porcelain slab countertops, high-end weatherproof cabinetry systems, natural stone tile cladding, and travertine or porcelain paver flooring that creates a cohesive, resort-style outdoor living experience. We've completed outdoor kitchen projects in communities throughout Naples including Pelican Bay, Quail Creek, Lely Resort, and Grey Oaks.
Why You Should Never Use Quartz Outdoors in Florida
This is one of the most common and costly mistakes we see in Florida outdoor kitchen projects. Quartz contains resin binders that are not UV-stable — prolonged sun exposure causes yellowing, discoloration, and surface degradation that cannot be repaired. It can look beautiful at installation and begin deteriorating within 12–18 months of Florida sun exposure.
For outdoor kitchen countertops in SWFL, we recommend porcelain slab as our top choice — it's non-porous, completely UV-stable, heat-resistant, and available in dozens of colors and patterns that rival the look of natural stone. Granite is an excellent second option. We'll always steer you toward materials that will look great in 10 years, not just on installation day.
How Much Does an Outdoor Kitchen Cost in Southwest Florida?
Outdoor kitchen costs in SWFL vary widely based on size, materials, and complexity. Here's a general breakdown to help you plan:
Entry-Level Outdoor Kitchen ($8,000–$20,000): A straight-run grill station with weatherproof cabinetry, porcelain countertops, tile backsplash, and paver pad. A great starting point that delivers real functionality and a sharp finished look.
Mid-Range Outdoor Kitchen ($20,000–$50,000): L-shaped or U-shaped layout with premium cabinetry, porcelain slab countertops, tile cladding, under-counter refrigerator, bar seating, and full paver surround. The most popular range for Fort Myers and Cape Coral homeowners.
Premium Outdoor Kitchen ($50,000–$120,000+): Full custom build with luxury cabinetry, premium stone countertops, pizza oven, multiple appliances, pergola or covered structure, custom tile work, and full paver integration. Common in Naples luxury homes and high-end waterfront properties throughout SWFL.
