Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's an Onyx shower and how's it different from tile?

    Onyx showers are solid-surface wall systems made from durable, non-porous acrylic panels that resist mold and mildew better than grout. They require minimal maintenance, clean easily, and come in various stone and solid colors. At Legacy Kitchen & Outdoor Living, we specialize in Onyx installations for long-lasting, elegant bathrooms.
  • How far in advance should I schedule a remodel?

    Plan to schedule at least one month ahead to allow time for sourcing quality materials and ensuring everything arrives on time. This advance window helps avoid project delays and keeps timelines predictable. At Legacy Kitchen & Outdoor Living, we coordinate material orders during this planning phase.
  • What should I remodel in fall and winter?

    Fall and winter are ideal for interior projects like kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, and custom TV feature walls. Cooler weather makes indoor construction more comfortable and doesn't interfere with outdoor spaces. Legacy Kitchen & Outdoor Living focuses on indoor remodeling during these seasons.
  • Can you build an outdoor kitchen with appliances?

    Yes, we design and build complete outdoor kitchens with grill islands, built-in appliances, storage, and entertainment features like outdoor TVs and fireplaces. These setups create a full cooking and entertaining experience in your backyard. Perfect for spring and summer scheduling in Northwest Arkansas.
  • What's included in a custom TV feature wall?

    A custom TV wall includes built-ins, component storage, integrated LED lighting, and finish options like wood, stone, or modern paneling. Many designs also incorporate fireplaces for a dramatic living room centerpiece. At Legacy Kitchen & Outdoor Living, we create functional entertainment spaces that enhance your home's style.
  • Do composite decks hold up better in Arkansas weather?

    Composite decks resist fading, warping, and moisture damage better than natural wood, making them ideal for Arkansas' humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles. They require less maintenance and last longer with minimal upkeep. We build both wood and composite decks tailored to your climate needs.
  • What's the benefit of a screened-in room?

    Screened rooms let you enjoy the outdoors without bugs, heat, or weather interruptions. They extend your usable outdoor space into cooler months and provide a comfortable area for dining or relaxing. At Legacy Kitchen & Outdoor Living, we include electrical and lighting for year-round functionality.
  • How does a pergola add value to my backyard?

    A pergola provides shade, architectural interest, and a defined outdoor living zone perfect for dining or lounging. It increases usable outdoor space and enhances curb appeal. We offer wood or composite materials in attached or freestanding designs to match your home's style.
  • Can I do a tub-to-shower conversion during a bathroom remodel?

    Yes, tub-to-shower conversions are a popular upgrade that opens up space, improves accessibility, and modernizes your bathroom. We handle layout changes, plumbing adjustments, and waterproof wall systems like Onyx. This is commonly done during full bathroom remodels in Decatur and Northwest Arkansas.
  • What affects the cost of a full kitchen remodel?

    Cost depends on cabinet style and materials, countertop selection, flooring type, layout changes, and appliance upgrades. Larger kitchens or complex designs requiring plumbing or electrical work also increase price. At Legacy Kitchen & Outdoor Living, we provide transparent pricing based on your specific choices and scope.
  • Why should I hire one contractor for the entire project?

    A single contractor coordinates all trades, materials, and timelines, reducing miscommunication and delays. You get one point of contact and consistent quality across every phase. Legacy Kitchen & Outdoor Living manages design through final walkthrough, making the process seamless and stress-free.
  • When's the best time to build a patio in Northwest Arkansas?

    Spring and summer are ideal for patio construction due to warmer, drier weather that allows concrete and pavers to cure properly. Planning outdoor projects during these months ensures timely completion and immediate enjoyment. We recommend scheduling early to lock in your preferred timeline.
