The cost of an outdoor kitchen in Arizona can range anywhere from $8,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on size, materials, and features. A simple BBQ island with storage and a countertop will cost less, while a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with appliances, stonework, utilities, and a pergola cover will be on the higher end.
💡 Tip: During your design consultation, we’ll create a detailed estimate based on your layout, materials, and appliance selections so there are no surprises.
Arizona’s extreme sun and temperature changes require durable, heat-resistant materials. The best options include:
Steel framing instead of wood to avoid warping
Stucco, stone, or tile finishes that withstand UV rays
Granite or porcelain countertops that resist heat and cracking
Stainless steel appliances rated for outdoor use
These materials hold up well year-round and maintain their appearance with minimal maintenance.
Most outdoor kitchen projects take about 3 to 6 weeks from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity of the build.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
Design & material selection: 1–2 weeks
Permitting (if required): 1–2 weeks
Construction & installation: 1–3 weeks
Every project is custom-built, so timelines vary slightly, but we always keep you updated at every step.
Yes, in many Arizona cities, permits are required for outdoor kitchens that include gas, plumbing, or electrical lines.
Our team handles the entire process — from submitting permit applications to coordinating with licensed trades — to ensure everything meets local building codes and safety standards.
Maintenance is simple if your kitchen is built with the right materials.
Here’s what we recommend:
Wipe down countertops and stainless steel regularly to prevent mineral buildup.
Cover appliances when not in use, especially during monsoon season.
Seal natural stone surfaces annually to protect against heat and moisture.
Schedule seasonal checkups for gas lines or electrical connections if your setup includes them.
With proper care, a high-quality outdoor kitchen can last decades in Arizona’s desert climate.
