Living in Florida has its advantages and disadvantages depending on who you ask. The negative? Hot year-round. The positive? Summer practically year-round. Residing in the Sunshine State means you get to spend a lot of time outdoors enjoying the warm weather, and what’s a better way to do that than hanging out in your backyard by the pool grilling up some tasty food and serving up some refreshing drinks in your outdoor kitchen and bar? Don’t have an outdoor kitchen/bar just yet? Don’t fret – we’ve got the solution! One of the newest additions to the Nonahood is Paradise Grills of Lake Nona, providing pre-built outdoor kitchen and bar units to bring your dream outdoor paradise to life!

Cindy Garaffa is the manager of the Lake Nona location and has been with the company for almost three years. She explained that Paradise Grills started 12 years ago here in Orlando, beginning with home shows and tent sales, and has since expanded to locations throughout Florida and Texas. 

“We will soon have physical locations in Georgia. We also displayed and sold our units (pre-COVID-19) in over 30 states across the country,” said Garaffa.

So why should potential customers consider choosing the pre-built outdoor kitchen and bar units at Paradise Grills Lake Nona over a contractor who can build one from start to finish?

“The advantages to our pre-built units are many! We are the experts at outdoor kitchens – it’s all we do! When a contractor builds a unit, they typically don’t have access to the materials we use. We buy our stainless and aluminum in bulk, which allows us to provide the strongest outdoor frame in the industry with the best warranties at a lower cost than a builder can build it,” Garaffa detailed. “Because the units are pre-built in our factory, there is no need to obtain any building permits, which means no tax assessment due to improvements, and best of all, no HOA approval required. They are rated as outdoor furniture. All of our units come pre-wired, so all you need to do is hook up your gas and plug it in! We offer so many different sizes and options that you can mix and match to fit almost any space. We also manufacture our own grills – they are commercial quality and can reach 800 degrees! And since we are the manufacturer, we always have the parts available should you ever need something.”

When it comes to a backyard renovation with an outdoor kitchen and bar, your options are limited – a custom build or buying modular units online or from big box stores, which are shipped to you and leave you worrying to find a way to assemble them. Garaffa explained that those options aren’t nearly as durable and the grills and appliances aren’t of the same high-quality Paradise Grills offers. 

“You may save a few bucks in the beginning, but it will not last. With us, you are receiving a kitchen built to last a lifetime,” Garaffa stated confidently.

Paradise Grills came to Lake Nona because it’s a rapidly growing community and the majority of residents were traveling to other Paradise Grills locations. “We are the neighborhood store!” Garaffa declared proudly.

So, as summer quickly approaches and you find your family spending more time outside and at home, consider Paradise Grills Lake Nona to renovate your backyard into the paradise you’ve always wanted. There’s no better time than now! 

“When you purchase a kitchen from Paradise Grills, you can expect a beautiful, quality product at an amazing price. At our Lake Nona location, we offer a hassle-free experience and truly strive to be available to our customers should they have questions or need any assistance,” explained Garaffa.
