Free Outdoor Kitchen Inspection in Jacksonville
A dirty grill is an inconvenience. A failing grill is a hazard. Our 24-point inspection is a systematic evaluation of your outdoor kitchen’s safety and performance — and it’s completely free, with no obligation to book anything afterward.
Why free? Because it’s the honest way to quote. Instead of guessing at a price over the phone, we come look at your actual equipment, show you exactly what we find, and hand you a firm number for any service it needs — with recommendations, same-day. If everything checks out and you don’t need us yet, you still walk away with a written record of your equipment’s condition. Either way, you know where you stand.
What the 24 points cover
Built-in grills live outside year-round in Florida humidity and salt air. Regulators corrode, venturi tubes host spiders (a genuinely common cause of flashback fires in the Southeast), igniter electrodes drift out of position, and gas fittings loosen with thermal cycling. None of this is visible from the deck chair. Our inspection covers:
- Gas system. Soap-test every accessible connection for leaks; check the regulator, hoses, and shutoff valve condition.
- Ignition. Test every igniter and electrode; verify spark position and crossover lighting between burners.
- Burners and heat distribution. Evaluate flame pattern (blue vs. lazy yellow), check for rusted-through burner walls and clogged ports, and confirm even heat across the cooking surface.
- Structure and hardware. Hinges, hood springs, grease tray tracks, door and drawer alignment, and signs of corrosion that will become failures.
- Stainless condition. Tea staining, heat tint, and surface rust — separated into what’s cosmetic, what’s fixable, and what’s structural.
- Ventilation. Confirm island vents are present and unobstructed — a critical and commonly missed safety item on gas-plumbed islands.
The Outdoor Kitchen Health Report
Every inspection ends with our written Outdoor Kitchen Health Report: a photo-documented summary of what we found, what’s urgent, what can wait, and what we recommend — in plain English, not upsell language. Homeowners use it to plan maintenance; property managers and communities use it as a documented condition record for their files; buyers and sellers use it during real estate transactions.
If the inspection turns up work worth doing — a deep clean, stainless restoration, or a repair — you’ll get a firm quote on the spot. The price we quote is the price you pay. And if the honest answer is “your grill is fine,” that’s exactly what the report will say.
