Custom Outdoor Kitchens
Built-in grills, pizza ovens, and BBQ islands designed to live with.
Custom outdoor kitchen design and construction across Northern California — built-in grills, pizza ovens, refrigeration, sinks, and pergolas.
Outdoor kitchens turn a patio into a living space you'll actually use most of the year — Northern California's climate is built for it. A1 Designing designs and builds full outdoor kitchens: built-in grills, pizza ovens, refrigeration, sinks, counters, and pergolas.
Most custom outdoor kitchens we build run $12,000–$35,000 for a built-in grill island with stone facing and counters; larger setups with pizza ovens, refrigeration, and pergolas run $40,000–$80,000+.
What you need to know.
A built-in outdoor kitchen with grill, counters, and stone facing typically costs $12,000–$35,000 in Northern California; full setups with pizza ovens, refrigeration, and pergolas run $40,000–$80,000+.
Outdoor kitchens recover 55–70% of their cost at resale and extend the usable season of a backyard by 4–6 months in Northern California's climate.
Gas line, electrical, and water rough-in must be permitted in California — A1 Designing handles all permits and inspections in-house.
