Custom Outdoor Kitchens & Grill Stations in Atlanta

Outdoor kitchen costs range from $15,000 for a basic built-in grill station to $90,000+ for a full resort-style kitchen. A compact grill island with granite countertops and gas hookup typically runs $15,000-$30,000. A mid-range kitchen with a grill, sink, fridge, and countertop space lands in the $30,000-$55,000 range. Large L-shaped or U-shaped kitchens with premium appliances, pergola covers, and bar seating go higher. We provide free, detailed estimates for every project.

Yes. We frequently build outdoor kitchens on existing patios, and we can also install them on composite or wood decks with proper structural reinforcement. Stone kitchen islands are heavy, so if your deck wasn't framed to handle the load, we'll add support beams and footings. For patio installations, we verify the existing base can support the weight and make improvements if needed. We can also pour or build a new patio as part of the outdoor kitchen project.

A natural gas line is the most convenient option — you never run out of fuel mid-cookout. We coordinate with licensed plumbers to run a gas line from your home's existing supply to the kitchen island. If running a gas line isn't practical for your yard, propane is a solid alternative. Many built-in grills are available in both natural gas and propane versions. We help you figure out the best option for your specific setup during the design phase.

Granite and quartzite are the most popular choices. Both handle heat, rain, UV exposure, and humidity without staining or cracking. Granite is widely available in dozens of colors and is very heat-resistant — you can set a hot pan right on it. Concrete countertops are another durable option that offers a more modern look. We don't recommend marble or standard quartz for outdoor use — they don't hold up well to direct sunlight and temperature swings.

Most outdoor kitchens take 2-5 weeks to build depending on the scope. A basic grill station can be done in 1-2 weeks. A full kitchen with gas, electrical, plumbing, countertops, and a pergola cover typically takes 3-5 weeks. Appliance lead times can add to the timeline — some high-end grills and refrigerators take a few weeks to arrive. We order appliances early in the process and coordinate the build schedule so everything lines up. You get a clear timeline before we start.

Stainless steel and marine-grade polymer are the only cabinet materials we recommend for outdoor kitchens. Standard indoor cabinetry — even "moisture-resistant" versions — will swell, warp, and grow mold within a season or two in Georgia's humidity. Stainless steel cabinets are the most durable and offer a professional kitchen look. Marine-grade polymer cabinets are lighter, come in more colors, and resist UV fading. Both handle rain, humidity, and temperature swings without deteriorating.

It depends on the scope. Gas line installation, electrical work, and plumbing all require permits in most metro-area counties. If your outdoor kitchen includes a roof structure or pergola, that may require a separate building permit as well. We coordinate all permitting and inspections as part of the project so you don't have to deal with county offices. If you're in an HOA community, we also help you navigate architectural review requirements.

Yes — pizza ovens are one of our most popular add-ons. We install both wood-fired and gas-fired pizza ovens that integrate into your kitchen island or stand separately nearby. Wood-fired ovens reach higher temperatures and give you that authentic smoky flavor, while gas ovens are more convenient for everyday use. We build the oven surround with the same stone veneer or finish as your kitchen island so everything looks cohesive.
