Locations / Kirkland, WA
Kirkland properties are built for outdoor living. FSI builds the outdoor room that makes it happen year round — pergola, kitchen, screens, and heat — designed for waterfront and hillside properties by one fully licensed team.
Complete Outdoor Living
The waterfront position, the hill views, the large lot — all of it sits empty from October through May without the right cover, heat, and screens. FSI builds the complete outdoor room that makes Kirkland properties work for the lifestyle they were bought for, every month of the year.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Kirkland is built for the outdoor lifestyle. Most backyards are not built for the Kirkland weather.
01.
Kirkland waterfront and hillside properties are made for hosting. Without cover, heat, and screens, every outdoor gathering ends when September does. Eight months of a property built for exactly this.
02.
Kirkland lots have the elevation, the water views, and the space. What they often lack is a finished outdoor room that actually takes advantage of all of it — not just a deck and a patio umbrella.
03.
You have found the pergola company, the kitchen company, and the shade company. None of them talk to each other. The space never comes together as one finished room because nobody scoped it that way.
What We Offer
Every service FSI offers is designed to work with everything else we build. No coordination gaps. No mismatched installs. One accountable team — regardless of how much or how little you build.
TWO WAYS TO BUILD AN OUTDOOR SPACE
You call a pergola company. They install the structure and leave.
You call a kitchen contractor. They measure and discover the pergola configuration does not work for what they planned.
You call an electrician. They wire what they can see. They have never spoken to the screen installer.
The screen company shows up after everything is done and retrofits around finished work.
Nobody coordinated the screen system with the pergola frame dimensions.
Months later you have a space that is mostly done, that you managed entirely yourself, with blame-shifting at every gap.
One consultation covers every element of the finished space.
A paid option for 3D design renders the complete outdoor room before any tool shows up.
One proposal covers every trade: pergola, concrete, kitchen, screens, heaters, lighting, AV, and more. One price. One payment schedule.
One licensed team coordinates and installs everything in the right sequence.
Most Puget Sound homeowners recognize at least one of these. Many are dealing with all three.
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET
A complete outdoor entertaining space designed for Kirkland properties and the Kirkland lifestyle.
01 · BENEFIT
No project management on your end. No coordination gaps. FSI owns every element from first consultation to final walkthrough, coordinating every trade and handling all ordering.
02 · BENEFIT
The kitchen wraps the post. The screens integrate with the structure. The AV gets wired during construction. Integration built in, not bolted on after.
02 · BENEFIT
FSI offers a paid option to see a full 3D design of your outdoor room before any work begins. Pergola, screens, kitchen, and lighting confirmed in three dimensions. No surprises on build day.
04 · BENEFIT
One proposal. Every element. Every trade. Plus an option to get renderings. You know what you are building and what it costs before you approve anything.
05 · BENEFIT
Not just in July. Not just when the forecast cooperates. The right structure, the right coverage, and the right build means your backyard becomes the place you default to. Every month of the year.
06 · BENEFIT
Something needs adjusting in year two. You call one number. The same team that built it handles it. No hunting for a new contractor who did not build the space.
Every season you wait is a season you do not get back. The problems that brought you here do not resolve on their own. They compound.
01 / 03
Kirkland weather patterns are not changing. Without the right structure, the views and the lot you paid for keep going to waste from October through May.
02 / 03
Pergola from one company, screens from another, kitchen from a third. Nobody owns the design. Every time you look outside you see what it still is not.
03 / 03
Material costs move in one direction. The outdoor entertaining season you are missing keeps passing. Every year you wait is a year the space is not working for you.
From First Call to Finished Space
One call. No pressure. Describe the space you have been thinking about. We ask the questions that turn a vague idea into a clear picture for your property and budget.
FSI comes to your property and designs the full outdoor room in 3D. Pergola, screens, kitchen. You see the finished space before any tool shows up.
One proposal. One price. Our licensed team installs everything in sequence. Final walkthrough with every system on.
The space is done. The season does not decide whether you go outside anymore. You do.
FSI Outdoor Living is a fully licensed outdoor living contractor serving Kirkland, WA and the surrounding Eastside communities. This section is written to help Kirkland homeowners searching for outdoor living contractors, pergola builders, deck contractors, and patio shade installers find FSI in search results. If you found us that way, we are glad you did.
Kirkland is one of the most distinctive outdoor living markets in the Puget Sound. Waterfront properties on Lake Washington, hillside homes with Cascade views, and a homeowner culture built around outdoor entertaining make Kirkland a primary FSI market. Kirkland homeowners want a backyard that works on a Friday in October — not just in July. Most outdoor contractors here build one piece of the space. FSI builds all of it.
Waterfront and hillside positions create specific requirements: wind exposure, moisture, structural considerations for drainage on elevated lots. Every FSI specification for Kirkland properties accounts for those conditions.
Every service FSI offers is designed to keep you outside longer — in October, November, and March, not just July and August. A covered pergola handles the rain. Motorized screens close out the wind. A built-in outdoor kitchen means you stay outside instead of going in to cook. Infrared heaters extend the evening. Decks provide the structural foundation the whole room sits on. It all works together because it is all designed together.
Pergola installation in Kirkland WA: Azenco louvered pergola systems — R-BLADE motorized, R-BREEZE, R-SHADE, and K-BANA — installed by Azenco's certified installer. MagnaTrack motorized patio shades in Kirkland WA: FSI is MagnaTrack's preferred dealer in the Puget Sound region. Custom outdoor kitchen construction, TimberTech composite deck installation with cable, glass, and composite railing options, outdoor lighting, infrared heaters, gas fire features, and outdoor AV. Every element available as part of the complete package or as a standalone service.
Design engagements include a full written proposal. For homeowners who want to see the finished space before work begins, FSI offers optional 3D renderings of the complete outdoor room at the design stage.
Outdoor technology — AV, landscape lighting, infrared heaters, and smart controls — is wired during construction, not retrofitted afterward. FSI's background in systems integration goes back 20 years, before the outdoor living category existed. We work primarily with Josh.ai and Bond Bridge for smart home control. If you have an existing system already in your home, we integrate with it. If you are starting fresh, we help you find the right solution for how you want to use the space.
Permit coordination across applicable Kirkland and King County jurisdictions is handled by FSI as part of every project. You do not manage the permit process. FSI does.
FSI has been building complete outdoor living spaces in the Puget Sound since 2005. One call. One site visit. One proposal for the finished outdoor room — designed so you can live outside comfortably every month of the year.
