Start with the right scope.
Draw the routes between the house, dining area and cooking area. Mark utility access and places where water collects. A flat-looking yard may still need grading or drainage work. For an outdoor kitchen, finalize the appliance dimensions before committing to a built-in surround.
What could it cost?
These illustrative ranges are Remodaro planning assumptions. They have not been calibrated against local contractor bids and are not quotes for your ZIP code. Choose your scope and size in the estimator to see how the calculation works.
| Project | Remodaro base range | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Paver patio | $10–$17 | Per sq ft |
| Pre-built outdoor kitchen | $7,000–$16,000 | Per project |
| Custom outdoor kitchen | $10,000–$35,000 | Per project |
Read the model assumptions and limitations. Major grading, retaining walls, long utility runs, covers and premium appliances may be additional.
What changes the price?
- Ground preparation and drainage
- Distance to gas, power and water
- Appliance specifications and weather protection
Before you choose a contractor
- Ask for the drainage direction and base preparation in the proposal.
- Specify the outdoor appliance models before the surround is built.
- Confirm who locates utilities and coordinates gas or electrical work.
Check applicable licensing with the relevant state or local authority, request current insurance information, and ask for recent references. Reviews are one input; compare written scope, schedule and payment terms too.
Common questions
Is this an exact quote for my home?
No. The result uses Remodaro’s illustrative planning assumptions and the project details you select. Local labor, materials and conditions can move the final price outside that range.
Can I compare a smaller project with a bigger one?
Yes. Select up to two scopes in the estimator. They are shown as separate alternatives, so the costs are not added together.
Do I need to request contractor contact?
No. Your estimate is yours to keep. A phone number is requested only if you separately ask for contact where coverage is available.
