Having an outdoor kitchen installation might be a great idea but what are some of the considerations that we should think about before we’ll go for it? Outdoor kitchen installation is a big work hence having a proper preparation is a must before proceeding to the installation.

Outdoor Kitchen Installation Costs

First and foremost, we have to calculate the estimated outdoor kitchen cost because through this, we will be able to allot the right funds for the project. Also, we can modify the project in relate to the budget we can provide for the project.

Grill installation cost

One of the most important appliances we can find in an outdoor kitchen is the grill. A grill comes in different types such as the electric, gas and coal. The cost for the grill would depend on the brand and quality of the item which will range from $1,000 to $15,000.

Outdoor countertop installation cost

A countertop is also necessary in an outdoor kitchen but the countertop can be the most expensive item in an outdoor kitchen where we can spend from $3,360 up to $5,070 for the countertop itself. Apart from the countertop, we can also place a sink that costs for about $350 that would complete the equipments in an outdoor kitchen.

• Other Necessities

We also have other equipments that we may also place in an outdoor kitchen such as an eating area where we can comfortably sit outdoors which costs $600 for a set of six chairs and a table. A refrigerator can also be placed in an outdoor kitchen where we can easily get the food and drinks that we rather than going inside the house back and forth just to get them.

Labor cost for installing outdoor kitchen

If we are not that experience with construction duties then we may opt to hire carpenters to do the job for us. The costs for the general construction work for the outdoor kitchen installation in Los Angeles is $5,000 to $12,000 where 70% of the cost will be the labor cost and the remaining 30% is for the installation materials.

Aside from the carpenters, we will be hiring electricians and plumbers as well when having an outdoor kitchen installation. The electrician will be in-charge for the wirings of the kitchen that usually charges $65 to $85 per hour but the total number of hours that the electrician can finish his job is around 10 to 100hours so expect to pay a total of $650 to $8,500.

Plumbers on the other hand will be in-charged for the piping and what’s good with plumbers is that they will be able to hide those pipes so our outdoor kitchen will look neater. Hiring a plumber usually costs $45 to $65 and they can do the whole job for 6 to 100hours hence we can pay the plumber from $270 to $6,500.

Outdoor kitchen improvement costs

There are also others who would like to have a complete outdoor kitchen where they have to go inside anymore and just stay outside having fun with everybody else. Great equipment that you can place in an outdoor kitchen is a luxury sitting area.

We have already included on our list the sitting area that costs $600 but we may also upgrade this sitting area to a luxury sitting area where we can surely have a very comfy time in our outdoor kitchen that costs between $5,000 to $50,000 depending on the quality of the set and how many person can sit on it or its capacity.

Apart from the grill, we may also have deep fryers in an outdoor kitchen which costs for about $500 to $1,000. A deep fryer is a perfect equipment who wants to have more cuisine in the table other than the barbeques made from the grill.

Do you think that your outdoor kitchen lacks some color? If we wanted to have a greater outdoor kitchen and we have more funds then we can also enhance its appeal through having a special outdoor lighting. There are a lot of ways on how we can install lighting to our outdoor kitchen such as the bar-top and counter lighting that costs $500 to $1,500.

Another way to install lighting to our outdoor kitchen is through the trees around the area which would serve as moonlight lights that costs for $500 but may go higher if we will be covering a bigger area.

If we are planning to only make a simple outdoor kitchen installation with only the grill and a little remodeling and no too much appliances, equipments and construction work then we may also do a DIY outdoor kitchen installation where we can save a lot of money from the labor costs.

Working on the outdoor kitchen installation without any contractor might be challenging but it would only costs us $900 for the whole installation which is a lot cheaper compared to the $5,000 to $12,000 cost for the general construction work.

When it comes to the maintenance of our outdoor kitchen, what usually damaged the equipments and appliances in an outdoor kitchen is the too much heat from the sun hence if we aren’t using them, we can simply make sure that they are well covered and protected. A cover would cost us $100 to $200 per piece but it can already help us a lot in preventing any additional repair cost.
