How Long Does It Take to Remodel a Kitchen?



You can never rule out the possibility of delays in kitchen remodeling. Fortunately, a bit of planning can go a long way toward keeping your project on track. To help you prepare, the kitchen remodel contractors at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Tyler share what a realistic kitchen remodeling timeline looks like. 

Designing Your Kitchen (1 to 2 months)

It might be tempting to speed up the planning phase of your remodel, but don’t. Make sure to go through every detail of the kitchen layout and proposed timeline with your design consultant and project manager, respectively. After the contract is signed and the timeline is finalized, your remodeler will then start working on your kitchen. 

Actual Remodeling (5 to 7 Weeks)

The remodeling process varies but in general, a contractor will follow this timeline: 

  1. Demolition – The crew will start by removing old appliances, cabinetry, countertops and flooring to make way for the new installations.
  2. Evaluation – They’ll then check the walls to see if there are any underlying issues to fix. If they find any, you should receive a report detailing the problems and the proposed remedies.
  3. Electrical rewiring – The crew will first mark the location of electrical outlets to lay out where they will be placed and then install new wiring. 
  4. Plumbing & HVAC – Setting up plumbing and HVAC units normally takes about five days. 
  5. Drywall, insulation & flooringKitchen remodeling contractors need to replace drywall and insulation as well as the flooring before installing the new cabinets and countertops.
  6. Cabinets & countertops – It usually takes 10 days for fabricators to finish granite countertops, but delays can be avoided by ordering them in advance. 
  7. Electrical fixtures & clean-up – Your contractor will put the finishing touches on your new kitchen and then clean up debris. 

It’s important to hire a contractor you trust. Remember: a remodeling project is essentially a collaboration between you and the contractor, so constant communication is important to achieve success.
