How Long Does a Kitchen Renovation Take
A kitchen renovation can be an exciting project with transformational results for your home and your personal enjoyment. You’ll be thinking about new storage spaces, appliances, and plentiful meal prep space. It’s a large undertaking that is well worth the time and cost, but before you dive in, it’s wise to understand what’s involved so that you can prepare and manage expectations.
A kitchen renovation is complex project, that involves demolition of your existing kitchen and starting from scratch. This type of renovation usually takes 6 to 10 weeks – barring any issues or complicated design features. The whole experience, no matter how small or big you go, will flow more smoothly with plenty of planning and advanced decision making.
What Affects the Timing of a Kitchen Remodel?
The more prepared you are before you start the renovation, the more smoothly – and quicker – the whole process will go. We recommend that you have a clear idea of what styles and materials you want and order them way in advance of your project start. Why? Because delays in materials extend your project timeline.
You should select and order the following before your project start date:
- Cabinetry
- Hardware
- Sink
- Faucet
- Tile
- Countertops
- Appliances
- Lighting
The addition or relocation of plumbing and kitchen appliances will take some time, especially if there are other major changes such as switching from gas to electrical or from an oven/range combo to a cooktop range and wall oven.
Plan Ahead
Given these timelines, you’ll spend significant time without access to any part of your kitchen. So, you will want to make arrangements for how you will handle your meals, whether that be relying on microwaves and slow cookers, take-out, or eating out.
