Outdoor Kitchens

Stop Hosting From Inside

The entire night — cooking, conversation, music, the game — never has to move back inside. Full outdoor kitchens designed for how you entertain.

Outdoor Kitchens

Stop Hosting From Inside

An outdoor kitchen transforms your backyard from a place you visit into a place you live. Instead of running inside for drinks, plates, and condiments, everything is at your fingertips — grill, side burner, refrigerator, ice maker, bar, and storage. It's the difference between a backyard with a grill and a true outdoor living space.

Blue Tide Exteriors designs and builds outdoor kitchens as integrated elements of your overall backyard design — not standalone islands dropped on a slab. We coordinate the kitchen with your pool, patio, pergola, and screen enclosure so that gas lines, electrical, drainage, and traffic flow all work together. Our team handles the masonry, cabinetry, countertops, gas plumbing, and electrical — all in-house, all under one warranty.

We build with stainless steel cabinetry, stone veneer, brick, and stucco finishes. Countertops come in granite, concrete, quartz, and tile — rated for outdoor exposure. We source grills and appliances from industry leaders and install them to manufacturer specifications so your warranties are fully intact.

Questions

Frequently Asked

How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?+
A basic grill island with a built-in grill and counter starts around $8,000-$15,000. A full kitchen with grill, fridge, side burner, bar, and stone veneer runs $20,000-$50,000. Premium builds with pizza ovens, kegerators, and high-end appliances can exceed $60,000.
Do I need a permit for an outdoor kitchen?+
Yes — if your kitchen includes gas lines, electrical, or plumbing (which most do). We handle all permits and inspections as part of your project. Don't work with a contractor who skips this step.
Can you build an outdoor kitchen under a pergola or screen enclosure?+
Yes, and we recommend it. Shade and bug protection make your kitchen usable year-round in Louisiana. We design the kitchen and structure together so clearances, ventilation, and lighting are all coordinated.
What's the best countertop for outdoors?+
Granite is the most popular — it's heat-resistant, UV-stable, and available in hundreds of colors. Concrete is excellent for custom shapes and integrated features. Quartz can work but requires UV-rated varieties. We'll show you samples during your consultation.
Can you plumb a sink in my outdoor kitchen?+
Yes. We run water supply and drain lines to code. A sink with hot and cold water makes your outdoor kitchen fully functional — no more running inside to wash up.
What grill brands do you recommend?+
We install all major brands — Blaze, Blaze Professional, Twin Eagles, Fire Magic, and Big Green Egg. We'll help you choose based on your cooking style, budget, and warranty preferences. All installed to manufacturer specifications.

★★★★★

They replaced our patio cover which we lost in the big ice storm. It took us a year and a half to find someone to fix it. It was Blue Tide Exteriors. It took them 2 days and it is so pretty. They worked with our budget. They did a great job.
