New Generation Construction designs and builds custom outdoor BBQ islands and fireplaces for homeowners across Riverside, CA. With the Inland Empire's long grilling season, warm summer evenings along the Santa Ana River, and cool winter nights that make a fire feature genuinely usable, Riverside backyards get more use than almost anywhere in Southern California. Whether you're in a mid-century ranch home near the Wood Streets, a newer build out toward Orangecrest, or an established property in Victoria or Canyon Crest, we build outdoor cooking and gathering spaces designed for how you actually live — and built with materials that hold up to the Riverside sun year after year.

Why Riverside homeowners choose us
New Generation Construction has built a reputation across the Riverside area by doing outdoor living projects the right way — not the cheapest way. Riverside's climate is demanding: intense summer heat, UV exposure, and the occasional Santa Ana wind event can quickly punish a poorly built BBQ island or fireplace. That's why we work with premium manufacturers whose products are backed by real warranties, use stucco and stone veneers rated for exterior exposure, and detail our gas lines, drainage, and framing to code. Riverside homeowners choose us because we take the time to walk their property, understand how they entertain, and design a feature that fits both the architecture of the home and the shape of the yard.
We regularly serve homeowners throughout the Riverside metro — including Woodcrest, La Sierra, Arlington Heights, Mission Grove, Orangecrest, Canyon Crest, and the Wood Streets — and typically respond to new project inquiries within one to two business days. Our clients are homeowners who see their property as a long-term investment, and we build accordingly.
Outdoor BBQ and fireplace projects we've completed near Riverside
Typical projects for Riverside clients include L-shaped BBQ islands with built-in grills, side burners, refrigeration, and bar seating; freestanding stucco and stone fireplaces anchoring a covered patio; linear gas fire tables integrated into paver patios; and full outdoor kitchen builds tied into new pergolas or aluminum patio covers. Many Riverside projects combine several elements at once — for example, a homeowner in Canyon Crest may want a fireplace as a focal point with a BBQ island on the opposite side of a new paver patio, all shaded by a custom pergola. Because we're a general contractor, we coordinate framing, gas, electrical, hardscape, and finish work as one project, on one schedule.

FAQ
How soon can you start a BBQ or fireplace project in Riverside?
For most Riverside homeowners, we can schedule an on-site consultation within a week. Design and permitting (when required) typically take a few weeks, and build times vary by scope.
Do you charge a trip or consultation fee for Riverside?
No. Riverside is part of our core service area, so initial consultations at your home are free.
What's the typical timeline for an outdoor BBQ or fireplace project in Riverside?
A standalone BBQ island generally takes two to four weeks on site. A masonry fireplace or a combined outdoor kitchen with hardscape typically runs four to eight weeks depending on materials and finishes.
Do outdoor fireplaces or BBQ islands in Riverside require permits?
Gas line work, certain structural elements, and any attached patio cover generally require permits with the City of Riverside or Riverside County. We handle permitting as part of our contract.

We recommend stucco, natural stone, and porcelain tile finishes with stainless steel appliances rated for outdoor use. These stand up well to Riverside's heat and UV without fading or cracking prematurely.
