What Mainly Changes This Kitchen Remodeling Process
Scope of work. If you only want to remodel parts of your kitchen it’ll take less time. The timeline then depends on what exactly you want to remodel. You can also remodel in sections, which further extends the timeline.
Damages. It isn’t uncommon to find damages before or during the project, such as wood rot or moisture damage. If we find any we’ll reach out to you to discuss what you’d like to do next.

What Mainly Changes This Kitchen Remodeling Timeline
Scope of work. Projects that have us do more or work with harder-to-find materials will extend the kitchen remodeling timeline. Less complex projects should take less time.
Size. Smaller kitchens usually need less labor and materials to remodel. More complex small kitchen remodels can still take weeks. Larger kitchens tend to take more labor and materials, and thus more time.
Change orders. You can change materials, layout, and other aspects of your project. This may change the cost and will change the timeline. We’ll need to place the order, wait on the delivery, and maybe bring in different equipment or *tradespeople.
Material choice. Some materials take longer to ship than others. This could be because they’re harder to come by or are so popular they’re on backorder.
Damages. If we find any damages and you want to fix them (which we highly recommend) that can lengthen how long it takes to remodel a kitchen.
