Indoor-Outdoor Living Ideas for Cool Nights: Fireplaces and Fire Pits

outdoor-fireplace-kitchen

Sure, the sunny days in SoCal keep temperatures comfortably warm, but the nights can be pretty cool, especially in the winter months. That’s where your outdoor fireplace or fire pit can come in handy. This cozy addition enables you to enjoy your outdoor living room all year long. You’ll need to make a few decisions about your fireplace, including whether you want it to be wood-burning or gas. Gas is the safer and more convenient option, but you will need to work with a contractor to run the gas line to your outdoor living area. There are also fireplace and fire pit options that double as cooking units or pizza ovens, so if part of your outdoor experience involves firing up some food, this may be the right choice for you. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, consider a round wood burning fire pit or a simple chiminea.

Hardscaping and Landscaping

The hardscaping and landscaping of your indoor-outdoor living room can make all the difference when it comes to feeling like the space is truly an extension of the home. When you hardscape your yard with the intention of creating an indoor-outdoor space, it is important that the design elements integrate with your home to create a smooth transition. This can be achieved through the materials you choose and the landscaping choices you make. Hardscaping and landscaping services may include standard excavating and removing old materials, working with designers and architects with experience in executing outdoor living space ideas, and the installation of new hardscaping using materials such as concrete, bricks, hardwood, and stone.

Full Glass Sunroom

A full glass sunroom is another way to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors but with four-season protection from the elements. Sometimes called conservatories or solariums, these rooms allow you to appreciate the sense of the outdoors even when its raining or during the coldest of months. Another benefit of sunrooms is that they enable you to extend the growing season of certain plants that may otherwise be at risk if left fully exposed outside.

Here is what a few of them say.

  • Kobi R.

    It’s been years since I’ve done any work to my home so I was nervous about the whole project. Thankfully, I found a company that not only provided me with a patient ( I am very particular) and punctual contractor, Rani, but the job came out better than I expected. After doing such an amazing job on the kitchen, I expressed to Rani that I would like to do some more work with him but money, unfortunately, doesn’t grow on trees. Fortunately, Rani found an affordable way for me to redo all the bathrooms and flooring throughout the house.

  • Beverly S.

    Our initial meeting with Rani was excellent due to him giving us information and ideas we hadn’t thought of. He returned a week later with a presentation for our kitchen. Again, we were surprised at his additional ideals and his presentation. We had previously had two of the big-box stores come out so we had an idea of cost. Rani was more reasonable and offered us better and more creative ideas. Our kitchen is completed and we feel we qualify for Better Homes & Gardens. We would recommend our experience and job to everyone.

  • Warren M.

    After about a year and a half after we remodeled our bathroom, we had some minor electrical issues and reached out to A-List Builders. Ben followed up consistently and in a timely manner until my needed repair work was done.

  • Debbie W.

    Everyone was professional, nice and knowledgeable. I am so happy with their work and I will be using them again for my next project. In addition, I will be referring them (which I don't do unless I completely trust a job well done) to my family and friends. Thank you, again, for such a positive experience.

  • Deborah B.

    I hired A-List for a large restoration project. The project involved wall replacement with framing & drywall, stucco, exterior & interior painting, foundation reinforcement, a new exterior gate, fence repair, brick & tile walkways. Ben was the only contractor I interviewed who recommended that an engineer inspect the foundation as part of the evaluation process. Megan cheerfully worked through the process with my insurance company. All of the on-site workers were a pleasure to work with. They arrived early, were professional, & kept the work-site clean & organized...even the city inspector commented positively about A-List's knowledge & organization. A-List Builders did a great job & their follow-up was excellent.

  • Lou D.

    Like so many people in LA we bought a fixer upper. Over the last 5 years we have searched intently for a contractor we could trust. Never has a contractor come on our property that affected us the way Ben and Megan from A-List Builders have. They immediately understood our needs and made brilliant suggestions. They answered every question, every call, and it was such a difference dealing with them than any company we've ever hired before. They did not waste a minute of our time, nor did they try to get us to do more than we wanted. Their pricing is more than fair. They are so good at what they do and completely trustworthy and make hard things much easier. There actually IS a really good General Contractor out there and a company that does all that it promises and more.

    I used A-List Builders for my Bathroom Remodel and my bathroom is more beautiful now than I could have ever imagined...I met with Ben who gave me a free estimate for the job and knew right away that A-List Builders was the company I was going to use for the job. Their estimate was fair, and their communication throughout the entire process was fantastic. I always knew there was going to be someone else on the other line if I needed to get a hold of them for any reason. Their workers were true pros that did an immaculate job, excellent craftmanship and very good at keeping the renovation area very clean. I absolutely love my new bathroom and have already recommended them to two of my friends. Truly a great experience!
