Modern outdoor kitchen with grill and bar seating
OUTDOOR KITCHENS

Custom Outdoor Kitchens in Houston.

From built-in grills and prep space to bar seating, storage, and architectural finishes, we create outdoor kitchens that feel naturally connected to the way you entertain and live outdoors.

ELEVATED ENTERTAINING

DESIGN AND COST

What an Outdoor Kitchen Costs in Houston — and What Goes Into One.

An outdoor kitchen is priced by its length, its appliances, and whether it sits under a roof. These 2026 ranges cover the three tiers most Houston projects fall into.

Ranges are 2026 Houston-area market figures for planning, not a quote. Appliance brand, counter length, and utility runs move the total most. Every quote we write is free and itemized.

Layout: Hot, Cold, Wet, and Dry

A kitchen that cooks well is organized into zones: the grill and burners, refrigeration, the sink, and prep counter. We size each to how you cook and keep enough counter on both sides of the grill to land a tray.

Bar seating faces the cook, not the grill smoke, and the whole kitchen is placed so whoever is cooking can still see the pool.

Appliances and Storage

Built-in grills, side burners, smokers, griddles, pizza ovens, refrigerators, ice makers, and kegerators are all options. We help you choose by how often each would be used, then build the island to the exact cutout dimensions.

Sealed drawers and access doors keep tools, propane, and trash out of sight and out of the weather.

Materials That Hold Up to Houston Humidity

Outdoor kitchens here take heat, humidity, and sudden rain. We build on masonry or steel frames and finish in natural stone, stucco, or porcelain, with granite or concrete counters.

Stainless and marine-grade components go wherever there is water, so doors and drawers still close properly years later.

Gas, Water, and Electrical

A kitchen is a utility project as much as a masonry one: a gas line sized for every appliance, water and a drain for the sink, and dedicated circuits for refrigeration and lighting.

When the kitchen is built with a new pool, those runs share trenches with the pool plumbing and are inspected together.

Covered Kitchens and Ventilation

Putting the kitchen under a patio cover or pavilion makes it usable in the rain and in August sun. A grill under a roof needs a vent hood sized to it, and we plan the structure around that from the start.

Ceiling fans, task lighting over the grill, and a television wall are typically part of the same structure.

Planned With the Pool

The kitchen, the patio, and the pool work best as one plan — matching stone and tile, a clear path between them, and seating that serves all three.

If you are adding a kitchen to an existing backyard, we design it around the deck and utilities you already have.
