Smart backyards, pool decks and multi-family courtyards across the country now feature sleek, weather-proof phone charging kiosks. Homeowners appreciate the convenience, property managers love the added tenant value, and guests never ask “Where’s an outlet?” again. Before you order your first unit, however, you’ll want a clear understanding of outdoor phone charging kiosk installation cost. At CountBricks, we combine AI-powered takeoffs with on-site expertise to deliver dependable numbers—often in minutes.
The hardware itself can range from simple two-port pedestals to solar-assisted towers with digital signage. Expect equipment prices anywhere from $650 to $4,800 per unit.

Installing on an existing concrete pad is quick; setting new footings or pavers adds labor and material. CountBricks AI estimates pull current regional prices for concrete, crushed stone and rebar to keep you informed.
Local jurisdictions treat kiosks like any other outdoor electrical device. Fees average $150–$450, but coastal or wildfire zones may impose additional requirements. CountBricks.com/services details how we streamline approvals for homeowners.
Many owners request Wi-Fi monitoring or app-based load shedding. Our electricians configure smart relays that sync with popular residential hubs, adding 5–10 percent to the total.

• Premium hard-wired kiosk: $2,800 – $5,600
