A cedar truss pool pavilion with an outdoor kitchen built by JSR Construction

Outdoor living

The room everyone actually ends up in.

Pool pavilions, outdoor kitchens, masonry fireplaces and covered decks across Tallahassee and the Florida Big Bend.

Recent builds

Two pavilions, two very different looks.

Poolside pavilions, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and covered decks — from stained cedar trusses to white cathedral ceilings and marble hearths. Built to the same framing and finish standard as the house they sit behind, in materials that hold up to a Florida summer.

What goes into one

Built like the house, not like a kit.

Real structure

Stained cedar trusses or finished cathedral ceilings, framed and roofed to the same standard as the house they sit behind.

Masonry that lasts

Wood-burning or gas fireplaces, stone and tile surrounds, and built-in seating that survives a Florida summer.

The whole space

Outdoor kitchens, travertine and paver decking, lighting, fans and TV — planned together so nothing looks added on afterward.

Outdoor living FAQ

Common questions.

What does an outdoor kitchen cost?

It swings widely. A covered pavilion with a masonry fireplace and full outdoor kitchen is a different project from a grill surround on an existing patio. Tell us roughly what you picture and a budget range, and we will tell you which one you are describing.

Can you build onto my existing patio or pool deck?

Often yes. We look at the existing slab, drainage and how a new roof would tie into the house before promising anything.

Screened or open?

Both. Screened rooms get used more in summer; open pavilions feel bigger and show off the framing. We will walk you through the trade-off for your yard.

Do you do the pool too?

We build the structures, decking and outdoor kitchens around the pool and coordinate with pool contractors on the water itself.
