How It Works
Our Process
Design & Planning
We discuss your vision, measure your space, and design a bar that fits your style, budget, and entertaining needs — including layout for electrical and seating.
Foundation & Framing
Proper footings or anchoring are installed, then the bar is framed with pressure-treated or rot-resistant lumber built to handle weight and weather.
Countertops, Roof & Finishing
Your chosen countertop material is installed, roofing or thatching is secured, and all surfaces are sealed, stained, or finished for weather resistance.
Electrical, Lighting & Final Details
Outlets, lighting, fans, and any built-in features like cooler cabinets or shelving are installed. The site is cleaned and your bar is ready to enjoy.

Why a Pro
Why Hire a Pro?
A tiki bar is a structure that needs to handle weight on the countertop, support a roof, resist weather exposure, and often include electrical wiring for lights and appliances. Building one from scratch involves carpentry, roofing, electrical, and finishing skills. A cheap kit bar from a big box store will look tired and fall apart after a season or two. A professionally built tiki bar becomes a permanent backyard feature that impresses guests and lasts for years.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this service
How much does a custom tiki bar cost?
Pricing varies based on size, materials, and features. A basic 8-foot bar with a thatched roof starts at a different price point than a 14-foot bar with granite countertops and full electrical. We provide a detailed quote after discussing your vision and assessing your space.
Can you add electrical outlets and lighting?
Yes. We wire outlets for blenders and mini-fridges, install overhead and ambient lighting, and can add ceiling fans under covered roofs. All electrical work is done safely and to code.
What materials hold up best outdoors in Rockland County?
Pressure-treated lumber or cedar for framing, marine-grade stainless steel hardware, stone or sealed hardwood countertops, and synthetic thatch that resists wind and rot all perform well through our freeze-thaw cycles and heavy weather.
Do I need a permit for an outdoor bar?
It depends on the size of the structure and your municipality's rules. Many freestanding bars under a certain square footage do not require permits, but covered structures or those with electrical may. We can advise based on your town's specific requirements.
Can the bar be built on an existing deck or patio?
Absolutely. We build tiki bars on existing decks, concrete patios, paver patios, and directly on gravel pads. We assess the existing surface to ensure it can support the bar's weight and make any reinforcements needed.
