Kitchen remodel projects can vary greatly depending on the extent of the project. A full remodel often includes new cabinets, countertops, a tile backsplash, new flooring, paint, ceiling repair or re-texture, appliances, lighting, and plumbing. Here is a sample timeline:
Day:
1-2: Demolition
3-4: frame
5-8: HVAC, plumbing, electrical rough-ins
9-10: Inspections
11-16: Drywall work
17-20: Flooring install (before or after cabinets depending on flooring)
21-24: Cabinetry install
25: Countertop measure
26-28: Paint
29-30: Install Trim

46: Countertop install (approx 3-6 weeks after measure)
47-48: countertop installation
49-51: backsplash installation
51: final plumbing
52-54: final electrical
55: Appliance installation
56: Final touch-ups and punch list items
57: final inspections
In conclusion… plan approximately 8-12 weeks depending on countertop lead time and issues that may arise once walls are opened up.
Living through any type of remodel can be very stressful and challenging. It is invasive – you are opening your home up to strangers coming in and out of your home every day. It will be messy and dusty. It takes preparation – planning meals in another space using small appliances or take-out. It’s expensive – we do our best to stay on budget but sometimes there are unforeseen situations that occur that require additional funds so it’s best to build in a contingency into your overall budget.
