An outdoor kitchen transforms your backyard from a place you visit into a place you live. In Los Angeles, where the weather invites outdoor entertaining nearly every day of the year, a professionally designed and built outdoor kitchen becomes the social hub of your home - a fully functional cooking and gathering space where meals are prepared, drinks are poured, and memories are made under open skies.
ACE Design & Build creates outdoor kitchens that go far beyond a simple grill station. Our designs include built-in gas grills, side burners, pizza ovens, smokers, refrigerators, ice makers, sinks with hot and cold water, storage drawers, and premium countertop surfaces. Every component is specified for outdoor use, constructed with weatherproof materials, and connected to proper gas, electrical, and plumbing systems by our licensed crews.
The construction of an outdoor kitchen involves the same level of structural and utility work as an indoor kitchen. Concrete block or steel-framed islands must be properly built to support heavy countertops and appliances. Gas lines must be run safely and to code. Electrical circuits for lighting, outlets, and appliances must be properly sized and protected. Drainage for sinks and ice makers must be routed correctly. Our team handles every one of these elements with the precision and professionalism that defines all ACE projects.
Whether you envision a compact grilling station with bar seating, a full outdoor kitchen with dining for twelve, or a complete entertainment zone with kitchen, bar, fire pit, and television, we design and build it as a cohesive space that reflects your lifestyle and elevates your home's outdoor living experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Kitchens
Outdoor kitchens in Los Angeles typically range from $20,000 for a well-equipped grilling station to $80,000 or more for a full outdoor kitchen with premium appliances, countertops, lighting, and covered dining area. We provide a detailed proposal based on your specific design and equipment selections.
We strongly recommend a natural gas connection for outdoor kitchens, as it eliminates the need to replace propane tanks and provides consistent fuel supply. Our licensed plumbers install dedicated gas lines from your home's main supply to your outdoor kitchen, permitted and inspected per local codes.
Granite is the most popular choice for outdoor kitchens due to its durability, heat resistance, and natural beauty. Concrete countertops offer a modern aesthetic and can be custom colored. Tile countertops provide design flexibility. We help you select the right material based on your style and maintenance preferences.
Most outdoor kitchens are completed in three to six weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and utility requirements. Simple grill stations may be completed in under two weeks, while large kitchens with extensive features take longer.
In many cases, yes. If your existing patio is structurally sound and properly sized, we can construct an outdoor kitchen on the existing surface. If the patio needs to be expanded or reinforced, we handle that as part of the project.
