How much does a custom outdoor kitchen or BBQ island cost?

Cost depends on size, appliances, countertops, veneer, and complexity. Simpler BBQ islands cost less than full outdoor kitchens with multiple appliances and premium finishes. We walk through options and pricing during consultation so you know the direction before we build. Contact us for a free quote based on your layout.

How long does a project take?

Timeline varies with design complexity, material lead times, and schedule. After design approval, builds are planned around fabrication and delivery. We give a realistic range for your project during the design phase.

What materials do you use?

Core structure: steel frame with cement board sheathing (mold- and fire-resistant) and automotive-grade primer on the steel. Finishes may include tile, stucco, stone veneer, and a range of countertop options depending on the design.

Do you design in 3D?

Yes. We design and model projects in 3D before production so you can review layout and equipment placement first.

Do I need a permit?

Many cities require permits for gas, electrical, or permanent outdoor structures. Requirements vary by city. We can discuss what is typical for your area; final permitting responsibility depends on how your project is contracted and your local rules.

Where are you located?

We are based in Covina, CA, and serve Southern California including LA County, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. Serving Southern California since 2021, with nearly 20 years of combined industry experience on the team.
