Planning a kitchen remodel? Understanding the timeline helps you prepare for the process and set realistic expectations. Here's what to expect when remodeling your kitchen with Bradie's Custom Construction.

Typical Kitchen Remodel Timeline

Most kitchen remodels take 4-8 weeks from start to finish. Here's a week-by-week breakdown:

Week 1: Design & Planning

  • Initial consultation and measurements
  • Design finalization and material selection
  • Permit applications (if needed)
  • Order materials and fixtures

Week 2: Demolition & Preparation

  • Remove old cabinets, countertops, and appliances
  • Address any structural issues
  • Update electrical and plumbing as needed

Weeks 3-4: Installation Phase 1

  • Install new electrical and plumbing
  • Drywall repairs and painting
  • Install flooring
  • Begin cabinet installation

Weeks 5-6: Installation Phase 2

Weeks 7-8: Finishing Touches

  • Install hardware and fixtures
  • Final painting and touch-ups
  • Install lighting

Factors That Affect Timeline

Several factors can extend or shorten your kitchen remodel timeline:

  • Scope of work: Minor updates vs. complete gut renovation
  • Custom elements: Custom cabinets may take 6-8 weeks to manufacture
  • Structural changes: Moving walls or plumbing adds time
  • Material availability: Some materials may have longer lead times
  • Permit requirements: Permits can add 1-2 weeks

Tips for a Smooth Remodel
