Even though kitchen remodeling is fun and exciting, most homeowners are eager to get done with the project and resume their normal life. The kitchen is every home’s central hub. It is where meals, great conversations, and interesting deals are born. Very few people will feel at home if their kitchen is working at its fullest. This is why the ‘how long will my kitchen remodel take’ is the first question most people will want to address before embarking on a project.
On average, a kitchen remodeling project will take three to six weeks assuming that all the planning and design is already in place. Needless to say, the time will vary drastically depending on a couple of crucial factors like:
Every kitchen remodeling project is different from the other. One homeowner might be interested in replacing the cabinetry, the floor, and a single counter top while others will be looking to change the kitchen layout. The latter needs more time to take everything out and put it back again in the right format as opposed to the simple surface remodel project that could take days with the right number of people working simultaneously.
Complexity addresses how many underlying things have to be done to come up with the surface look your want in your kitchen remodel. Replacing your dishwasher with a new one without changing placement isn’t as complex as taking the dishwasher to a completely new location in the kitchen. The last renovation project will need new plumbing and electrical wiring to work hence the extra complexity.
The time spent on the actual kitchen remodel is a reflection on how well you planned the whole project. Good planning will outline what must be done and come up with a non-obtrusive chronology that will not only save on time but also spare you the frustration of having to backtrack and fix something you forgot.
Proper planning ensures that you have those pipe conduits to extend the plumbing for the dishwasher long before you start remodeling. It will ensure that all the handles to your new kitchen cabinets are close at hand and that the granite counter tops are in your garage on the exact day you want them installed.
This fluid clockwork-like coordination saves precious minutes by ensuring that everything runs on schedule. Saving on wait times during the project will definitely sheer off a couple of days off the project.
Always shop for a contractor who has a good history with kitchen remodel projects. You wouldn’t want someone fumbling and making mistakes along the way when time is of essence. Moreover, an experienced kitchen remodeling contractor can go through your needs and the plans you create together to come up with an accurate time to completion. This is by far the best answer you will ever get to the question of how long it will take to handle the kitchen remodeling project.
Once you have a time estimate from the contractor, it is up to you to decide if you will hang around or relocate to give the contractor ample space and time to work on the remodeling. The good news is most contractors can split the project into modules that will leave you with a still functional kitchen at the end of each day. This is great news for homeowners who want to renovate but cannot afford to relocate as the project goes on.
We used Lifestyle Cabinetry and Millwork for a complete master bath remodel. The workers were friendly, cooperative, and showed up on time every day. The work was high quality and we are so pleased with the end results. We would definitely recommend them to others.
This team is absolutely amazing!! I could not be happier with the way my kitchen turned out. I had a vision and they were amazing in building exactly to what I had pictured. They were on time, a pleasure to work with, efficient and kept right on schedule. Kurt made sure that we were happy at every turn and acted immediately on every request. Thank you!!!
Kitchen and bath remodels are complicated projects that require good up front planning and experience. Zayne and his crew have delivered excellent projects for me on repeated occasions. Each time the work has been completed on the agreed schedule and above my expectations. Most importantly it is critical to work with someone you trust and that has the knowledge and experience required – Lifestyle truly fits this description.
Zayne and his professional staff are absolutely the best in home renovation.
Zayne’s crew are professional, courteous, prompt, polite and offer suggestions while on site. The quality of the workmanship and materials are first class. Zayne will work diligently with you to develop your vision of your project and point out the constraints of your home and how you can proceed to achieve the end result.
Zayne expresses serious concern about your budget and how to accomplish your ideas without spending unnecessarily. His sub-contractors and suppliers are all equally welcoming and patient when you are working with them to find the cabinetry, trim, stone, paint and other materials that are not “cookie cutter”.
We highly recommend, without reservation, Zayne and Lifestyle Cabinetry and Millwork to anyone with a large or small project.

This is a professional company in every sense of the word! We hired them to completely remodel our kitchen when we purchased a 20 year old house. They did an amazing job! They were there when they said they would be. They worked full days with few breaks and the quality of their work was superior. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again on future planned projects!
What a great experience to have such a reliable, professional company come to work in our condo! Zayne was so nice and helped us find the perfect cabinets for our kitchen. Dion, who works for Zayne did a wonderful job in completing the projects. We also had electrical, painting, and additional carpentry completed. Everything went just the way we wanted. We could not be happier. We are also going to get additional pricing for more work that we want to have done in our condo in the future.
Lifestyle Cabinetry and Milwork re-constructed our kitchen and bathroom in 2013. They were meticulous, very professional and friendly. We are very pleased with the workmanship and wouldn’t hesitate to hire them for another project in the future.
