Covered Patio Outdoor Kitchen

Purpose & footprint

• A covered back-patio outdoor kitchen on a Texas home: a warm red-brown brick counter base with a leathered grey granite top holding a built-in stainless grill with a plain unbranded face, a cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling with a dark bronze ceiling fan overhead, brick columns supporting the cover with the home's composition-shingle roofline visible above, a long cedar dining table with woven chairs, a sealed concrete floor in a soft natural tone, black lantern sconces on the brick, the view beyond opening to a St. Augustine lawn edged with steel and shaded by a mature live oak in late-afternoon Texas light.

Design details

• Covered patio outdoor kitchen — roughly 240 sf
• A covered back-patio outdoor kitchen built on a warm red-brown brick counter base with a leathered grey granite top and a built-in stainless grill. Overhead, a cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling carries a dark bronze fan between brick columns that frame the view to a steel-edged lawn under a mature live oak. A long cedar dining table with woven chairs sits on sealed concrete, and black lantern sconces mark the brick. Late afternoon light slants under the cover. The intent is a true second kitchen that shrugs off Texas heat and hosts long dinners.

Project assumptions

• Existing patio cover and slab structurally sound
• Grill at a mid-spec built-in allowance
• Dining furniture is an owner-selected allowance
• No sink or refrigeration in this scope tier

Options

• Keep sound existing components where compatible.
• Compare stock, semi-custom and custom selections before ordering.
• Confirm samples in the room’s natural light.

Trades & site requirements

• Carpentry and finish installation; confirm any specialist trade needs on site.
• Check access, working clearances, occupied-home protection, waste removal and delivery space.
• Check substrate condition, moisture and concealed services before installation.

Permits & engineering

• Verify local permit requirements and HOA restrictions before work; this concept does not establish an exemption.
• Confirm anchoring, concealed wiring and applicable fire-clearance requirements.

Sequence & duration

• Measure and inspect → confirm scope and selections → check approvals → order materials → protect the site → install → inspect and finish.
• 2–8 weeks
• Installation window excludes design, approvals, fabrication lead times and unforeseen repairs.

Estimate basis & inclusions

• $25,125–$70,875
• Adjusted sample planning allowance. Feasibility at this budget has not been verified against current supplier and trade quotes.
• Covers only the stated quantities and installation scope; decorative objects and adjacent rooms are not included.
• Site condition, access, material choice, waste, permit requirements and concealed damage can change the written quote.

Exclusions & unknowns

• Exact product selection and current availability are unknown.
• Concealed damage, structural repair and utility relocation are excluded unless explicitly scoped.
• Permit and engineering fees, taxes and contingency require confirmation; they are not guaranteed included.

• Final maintenance instructions depend on the products selected.

Next steps

• Save the concept and note what you want to keep or change.
• Bring room dimensions and existing-condition photos to a walkthrough.
• Confirm a written scope, selections, permit needs and site-specific quote before work.
