Custom outdoor kitchens with built-in grills, sinks, refrigerators, bar counters, and licensed plumbing, designed and built by MIA Remodeling for Miami year-round outdoor entertaining season. Serving Miami, Coral Gables, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and all of South Florida. Free on-site estimate.
Outdoor Kitchens
South Florida homeowners grill outdoors more than almost anyone in the country: year-round warm evenings, weekend gatherings every season, and a lifestyle that naturally extends into the backyard. But a standalone grill on a concrete pad is not an outdoor kitchen. It is just a grill.
A real outdoor kitchen built for Miami changes how you use your backyard. Integrated appliances at the right height. Counter space for prep and serving. A bar for guests. A sink so nobody carries dishes inside. Covered by a pergola so the afternoon thunderstorm does not end the party.
MIA Remodeling builds custom outdoor kitchens across Miami, Coral Gables, North Miami Beach, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Boca Raton, and all of South Florida. We are a licensed general contractor (CGC1535875) and licensed plumbing contractor (CFC1434602), meaning gas lines, water supply, and sink drains are handled by our own licensed crew. Never subcontracted.
Every component specified for Miami's salt air, UV intensity, humidity, and year-round use.
Gas or charcoal built-in grill in stainless steel with a dedicated gas line. Most popular: 36 to 42 inch gas grills with an infrared sear burner. Brands: Lynx, DCS, Wolf, Napoleon, Weber.
Side burner for sauces and sides, warming drawer, rotisserie kit, or integrated pizza oven, configured around how you actually cook outdoors.

Marine-grade polymer, stainless steel, or weatherproof aluminum cabinetry rated for South Florida's humidity, salt air, and UV. Custom sizes and configurations.
Porcelain slab, concrete, quartzite, or granite, all selected for UV resistance, nonporosity, and coastal durability. Porcelain slab is our top recommendation for Miami outdoor counters.
LED strip and in-cabinet lighting, overhead pendants under the pergola, plus a dedicated GFI-protected outdoor electrical circuit for appliances and outlets.
Design Styles
White or light concrete countertops, coastal-tone cabinetry, stainless appliances, nautical hardware, natural wood pergola, and travertine pavers. Popular in Miami Beach, Aventura, and Sunny Isles.
Charcoal or slate cabinetry, porcelain slab counters, matte black hardware and faucets, integrated LED lighting, and a louvered aluminum pergola. Common in Brickell and Doral.
L-shaped bar with barstool seating, outdoor kegerator, built-in speakers, thatched or slatted pergola, and artificial turf. Popular in Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, and Coral Springs.

Outdoor kitchen integrated into the pool area, pool-adjacent counter with wet bar, beverage fridge, and built-in grill, so you never leave the deck to serve food.
An integrated gas firepit or fire table adjacent to the kitchen, the centerpiece for South Florida's cooler winter evenings.
Planning ranges based on completed MIA outdoor kitchen projects across South Florida.
Best for: First outdoor kitchen, budget-conscious build, smaller patio footprints.

Cost depends on size, appliance selection, countertop material, plumbing scope, electrical, pergola integration, and paver deck. Written estimate provided after a free on-site consultation.
Materials
Fully nonporous, UV-resistant, heat-resistant, and zero maintenance. The best outdoor counter for Miami, looks like natural stone, performs better than any natural material outdoors.
Custom poured concrete with a sealed finish for a modern industrial look. Requires periodic resealing in Miami's UV and humidity. Popular in Wynwood and contemporary builds.
Natural stone with excellent heat resistance and beautiful variation. More durable than granite outdoors; requires sealing every 2 to 3 years in South Florida.
The traditional outdoor surface, heat-resistant and durable when properly sealed. We advise on porosity and sealing schedule before specifying for coastal properties.
The most weather-resistant cabinet material for outdoor use, will not rot, warp, or corrode in humidity and salt air. Many finishes and colors.
Corrosion-resistant stainless for a professional look (best under cover), or a lightweight rust-proof aluminum frame with weatherproof door panels as a mid-range option.

Outdoor Kitchens
South Florida year-round warm climate makes outdoor cooking and entertaining a daily reality, not a weekend hobby. A true outdoor kitchen built for Miami coastal conditions is very different from a grill on a concrete pad. Every MIA outdoor kitchen includes a built-in grill with dedicated gas line, an outdoor-rated refrigerator, a stainless sink with licensed plumbing (CFC1434602), a bar counter with seating, marine-grade or stainless weatherproof cabinetry, integrated LED lighting, and dedicated GFI-protected electrical circuits.
Countertops we specify, porcelain slab, concrete, quartzite, and granite, are all selected for UV resistance, moisture impermeability, and coastal salt air durability. All gas lines, water supply, and drains are handled by our own licensed plumbing crew, never subcontracted.
