Thinking of building an outdoor kitchen
0:02
but worried about the installation cost?
0:04
The good news with RTA, we’ve got three
0:07
options for you to choose from. [music]
0:08
Doing it yourself, hiring one of our pro
0:11
installers, or hiring one of your local
0:14
trusted contractors. Hey, it’s Daniel
0:16
here with RTA outdoor living. And once
0:19
you finalized your outdoor kitchen
0:21
design and details, the next big
0:22
decision is how are you going to install
0:25
it and what is it going to cost? If
0:27
you’re a hands-on weekend warrior
0:29
comfortable with some basic tools and
0:31
the assembly, doing it yourself could be
0:33
a great option and the lowest cost
0:35
route. You’ll handle opening the crates,
0:37
unloading them, moving the panels,
0:42
and building your island.
0:45
And of course, installing the
0:46
countertops and the appliances. We do
0:50
recommend having a few extra hands. And
0:52
the biggest investment for this method
0:54
is your [music] time. Doing it yourself
0:56
can save you the most, but you’re going
0:58
to want to make sure you understand the
1:00
project scope and have the manpower
1:02
ready. Your dedicated RTA project
1:04
manager will be happy to help you every
1:06
step of the way. Don’t worry [music] if
1:08
DIY is not your style or you want to be
1:11
a little bit more hands-off. We’ve got
1:13
you covered. Let’s talk about hiring one
1:15
of RTA’s pro installers. That means less
1:17
on your plate,
1:19
and the installers will handle all of
1:21
the heavy lifting from opening your
1:23
crates
1:25
to setting you up with a readytouse
1:27
outdoor kitchen. Some pro installers can
1:30
tackle the utilities such as gas,
1:31
electrical, and plumbing, but it would
1:33
be best to speak with them directly so
1:35
that they can understand your project’s
1:36
specific needs. [music] Of course, this
1:38
convenience comes at a little bit of a
1:40
higher cost, but you’ll have a hands-off
1:42
installation and work with a
1:44
professional that works with RTA
1:45
products regularly. They’ll also have
1:47
the manpower needed to get your project
1:49
completed. This route is ideal if you
1:52
want your project handled from start to
1:53
[music] finish. If you already have a
1:55
trusted local contractor or want to hire
1:58
somebody in your area, this is a great
2:01
alternative. You’ll manage the
2:02
relationship with that contractor from
2:04
the project scope, the scheduling, and
2:07
the cost. Your RTA project manager will
2:09
be able to give them the resources
2:11
needed for a successful installation or
2:14
coach them through anything that might
2:15
be needed. [music] The cost will vary
2:17
based on your market and contractor’s
2:19
rates. It’s often comparable to a
2:22
pro-installer installation rate and can
2:24
be ideal if you’re already working with
2:26
a contractor on other elements for your
2:28
project or if you have a relationship
2:30
with a contractor that you trust and
2:33
want to use. Here’s a few things to
2:35
consider to help pick the right
2:36
installation option for your project.
2:38
DIY. If you consider yourself handy,
2:41
want to build it yourself, and also have
2:44
the manpower and tools needed. Go with
2:46
the pro installer. If you want the
2:48
convenience and full support of an
2:50
experienced professional, or you just
2:52
want a hands-off experience, work with a
2:54
local contractor if you’re already
2:56
working with a contractor on other
2:58
aspects of your project or have a
3:00
relationship with a trusted local
3:02
contractor. If you would like more
