You will love your new Outdoor Kitchen

Thanks for clicking! Outdoor kitchens are the "hot new thing" for people who want the most out of their outdoor living spaces. Imagine cooking outside for your family and friends at a real kitchen with a refrigerator, grill, countertops, and even bar-style seating space.

There are as many options in cabinets and features as there are for an indoor kitchen. You can get sinks, bread warmers, trash pull-outs, rotisseries, griddle plates, steamers, fryers, smokers, warming racks, pizza ovens, regular ovens, small refrigerators, big refrigerators, beer taps... and anything else you can think of.

Each element of an outdoor kitchen is designed to withstand the rigors of living outside in Minnesota. You don't have to be concerned about weather hurting your investment. When winter comes, you put a hat over your grill and let the kitchen hibernate until spring.

INSTALLATION

Most kitchens require both electrical and gas hookups. Before installation of your patio space, licensed contractors will install the lines we need. Then we build the patio space over the top of them. If you want to add a kitchen to an existing space, it just takes more creativity to get the lines to where they will be needed--- but we can do it!

People have added kitchens to their decks, pool areas, gazebos, four-season porches... you name it. This equipment looks and works great wherever you put it.

The options for finishing the sides and back of the cabinetry are also endless. The cabinet manufacturers make matching stainless-steel backplating, and also synthetic natural stone coverings. If we're making you a sitting wall or firepit, or you have existing block products already, we can use the same material to surround your kitchen products so it all ties together. We can also use block to add counter space.

PRICING

If you've ever remodeled your kitchen, or watched HGTV, you already know that kitchen cabinets can be a significant investment. You also know that there is a huge range of quality and style differences which affect the price. You can put cheap laminate cabinets and Formica countertops in an entire kitchen for a few thousand dollars... or you can get some rare, handmade, imported cabinets, top them with imported natural stone countertops, and spend $50,000+.

There is also a huge range of prices in outdoor cabinets, and the equipment you choose to go in them. Smaller grills with fewer features cost less than huge grills with many features. The kitchen shown at the left, with a high-quality grill, refrigerator, smoker, cabinets, drawers, and custom countertop, costs around $25,000. Simple kitchens with minimal cabinets and more economical grills can be had for as little as $5,000-7,000.

You can also purchase individual pieces of equipment, if you want to have stainless kitchen accents without the cost of an entire outdoor kitchen. Examples are shown below.

HIGH END KITCHENS

Kitchen pricing also depends on the landscape or masonry elements you choose to go around it. Here again the options are literally endless. If you have the budget and want the Outdoor Kitchen To End All Outdoor Kitchens, we can do it. Want to make your friends' jaws drop to the floor? No problem. Just give us a call and we can make it happen.

FINAL MESSAGE

We can work with big or small budgets to come up with an incredible outdoor kitchen space for you. Outdoor kitchens are about as exciting as it gets for outdoor living. Hot tubs are fun for many people, but they're becoming more and more common. If you want to set yourself and your home apart from anything else your friends and neighbors have seen, an outdoor kitchen is as good as it gets.

Future buyers will drool over it, too. Anything that adds livable, usable space increases your property's value and ease of resale. How many houses are people going to look at that have a custom outdoor kitchen, installed and ready to go?

Below are some additional photos from the manufacturer, to give you more ideas for what is possible in outdoor kitchens. Enjoy!
