Outdoor Kitchen Products Allow Contractors to Maximize Profits
Modular BBQ island installations allow outdoor kitchen contractors to maximize their profits by minimizing installation labor, tools and equipment, while giving customers elegant choices.
Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) June 9, 2005 -- National Pool and Tile (NP&T) an
Anaheim, Calif.-based distributor of pool tile, stone, decking and pool
finishes, knows that outdoor kitchens are a growing trend in moderate to
high-end homes nationwide. In response to this trend NPT now offers a modular
BBQ island product that minimizes labor and maximizes profits.
This
growth is a boon to savvy residential installation contractors who know that
today’s homeowner wants a custom outdoor kitchen and entertainment center that
allows them to hand pick everything from the stainless steel rotisserie grills,
burners, coolers, and sinks, to built in cabinets and stereo equipment.
“Adding NPT BBQ Islands to our services broadened our customer base and
our product line,” says Matt Perezchica, general manager of Johnson Pools in
Windsor, Calif., who has been in the pool construction for 17 years. “It’s one
more thing we can offer existing customers.”
In the past, creating
custom BBQ islands required specialized masonry labor and tools used—not to
mention purchasing and transporting heavy materials, like stone, concrete and
wood products, from different suppliers. To address this problem, NPT has
created a modular BBQ island product that allows landscape contractors,
remodelers, and builders to make high profit margins by offering a variety of
prefabricated modular island units that come preassembled. One laborer can
off-load by hand, assemble and finish a basic unit in one day with minimal
tools.
Brandon Holladay, owner and president of Champion Landscaping
& Design, a high-end residential landscape contractor in Houston, Texas has
installed traditional BBQ islands since it started up in 2001, but a few years
ago Holladay started selling customers on NPT BBQ Islands. Because he’s been
able to capitalize on the growing outdoor kitchen market, Holladay says he
expects to double his 2004 gross sales, which could earn him $1,200,000 in 2005.
A huge part of Champion’s growth is because they’re able to capitalize on the
labor and material cost savings by using a modular BBQ system rather than the
traditional method of building the BBQ frame from scratch.
