Pricing & Process

How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in South Florida?

Outdoor kitchens at Luxa Patio range from $25,000 for a focused build (grill, sink, storage) to $200,000+ for fully custom installations with premium appliances from Lynx, Hestan, or Twin Eagles, fire features, refrigeration, and architectural elements. Most clients fall between $40,000 and $90,000. We give a transparent line-item quote within 2 business hours of your consultation.

How much does a custom pool cost in Miami?

Custom in-ground pools at Luxa Patio start around $80,000 for a focused build and reach $300,000+ for premium pool-and-spa combinations with full landscaping and decking. Our Poolins above-ground alternative starts at $45,000 and installs in weeks instead of months. Final pricing depends on size, materials, equipment, decking, and permitting complexity.

How long does a typical outdoor kitchen project take?

From signed contract to final install, an outdoor kitchen project at Luxa Patio takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on appliance lead times, permits, and scope. Design and engineering: 1-2 weeks. Permitting: 2-4 weeks. Fabrication and install: 2-6 weeks. Custom or imported pieces extend that.

Do you handle permits and engineering?

Yes. Luxa Patio handles all permitting and engineering in-house through our licensed engineers. Every project includes engineered drawings, NOA-compliant specifications, and permit submittal to your municipality (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, or Monroe County). You don't deal with the county; we do.

02

Pergolas

Are Luxa Patio pergolas hurricane rated?

Yes. All Luxa Patio aluminum pergolas (R-Series, X-Series, K-Nopy) are engineered to 190 MPH wind load and carry Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) approval, the highest standard in Florida. Every install includes the engineered stamps your municipality requires for permitting.

Are pergolas waterproof?

Yes. Luxa Patio's R-Series motorized aluminum pergolas have fully sealed, watertight roof systems with integrated gutters and louvers that close to fully waterproof. K-Nopy and X-Series include retractable canvas tops with high water resistance. You can use the space comfortably during South Florida storms.

What's the difference between R-Series and X-Series pergolas?

R-Series is the premium aluminum pergola line with motorized louvered roofs (R-Blade, R-Breeze, R-Shade), LED lighting integration, retractable screens, and complete weather control. X-Series is a more budget-friendly aluminum pergola with classic open-roof or canopy options. R-Series starts higher, X-Series is the entry into engineered outdoor structures.
