How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Take?

Kitchen remodeling is one of the most popular renovations that can be made to the home — and for good reason. As one of the most-used parts of the house, upgrading your kitchen cabinets can provide a high-value facelift that greatly enhances the functionality of the space. As part of preparing for this work, homeowners are often concerned about how long the remodeling will take. Here are some things to consider.

General Timelines For Cabinet Remodeling

The timeline for updating your cabinetry and taking care of other remodeling tasks will generally depend on the size of your kitchen and the scope of the changes you want to make. For example, if you are planning a custom cabinet installation, you should typically plan for about 10 days for the cabinets to get put together after a design is finalized. A new countertop can be installed a few days after the new cabinets, and backsplash, flooring, and other updates can be added after that.

If you are planning for major renovations — such as reworking the layout of your kitchen and installing new plumbing and electrical fixtures — you may need to plan for a longer remodeling period.

Tips to Prepare For the Remodel

During the remodeling process, parts of your kitchen will be inaccessible at times. You can make this easier by planning meals ahead of time and ensuring you still have access to the refrigerator and microwave. Using disposable plates and utensils or eating out can also make it easier to adjust to the temporary disruption to your space. Communicate with the remodeling team so you will know what to expect and can plan accordingly.
