Built-In Grill Sales & Replacement in Los Angeles

Most built-in grills in LA were installed ten or twenty years ago into a block-and-stucco or stone island, with an opening cut for that specific model. Grill makers don't share a standard cutout size, and many have changed their own dimensions over the years. Buy the wrong grill online and you find out when it arrives: an inch too wide, a half inch too short, or a depth that hits the back wall of the island.

That's the problem we solve. We measure the opening, the depth, the gas connection location and the clearance under the counter, then compare it to the current cutout specs for the brands we carry. Often there's a near-exact fit. When there isn't, we'll tell you what it would take. A little extra depth or height can be finished with stainless trim, but a grill narrower than the opening isn't a good answer, because trim strips don't hold the grill up. Sometimes the right fix is a small amount of masonry work on the opening. You know before you buy.

• The firebox or bottom pan has rusted through
• The housing is warped or cracked from a grease fire
• The model is discontinued and valves or manifolds can no longer be found
• Repair quotes add up to most of the cost of a new grill
• The grill works, but you've outgrown it (you want a rotisserie, an infrared sear zone or more cooking space)

If you're not sure, it's often worth having us look first. Plenty of grills that seem done just need restoration. We'd rather save you the money than sell you a grill you don't need.

If you live within a few miles of the ocean, the grade of stainless matters more than the brand name. 304 stainless throughout (including burners, fasteners and the inner housing) holds up much better to salt air than grills that mix in lower grades. We'll point out which models are built that way. Our guide to picking a grill for a coastal home goes deeper, and premium brands compared covers the bigger picture.

We connect the new grill to the existing gas supply at the grill. If the island needs a new gas line, a larger line for a higher-output grill, or new electrical for lights and a rotisserie, that's work for a plumber or electrician, and we'll tell you up front if your setup needs it. Masonry changes to the cutout itself, beyond simple trim and filler panels, are also handled by a mason. For a brand-new island or a grill going into a space that's never had one, see built-in grill installation.
