Remodeling Timeline

Are you planning to have your kitchen revamped for the next big family gathering like Thanksgiving or Christmas? You may be wondering what the timeline would be like for remodeling and what are the steps involved.

In general, a kitchen remodeling timeline takes about six to eight weeks, excluding the pre-planning and design stages. This is also assuming that there are no unforeseen delays in the shipment of materials, and last-minute changes from both parties. As there is the lead time involved for obtaining all the materials like kitchen tiles, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and lighting, custom kitchen cabinets would definitely take a longer time than simple remodeling. Certain permits would also need to be obtained before starting the remodeling work. Overall, a kitchen remodeling could stretch up to 12 weeks if there is a major overhaul and that could be a big inconvenience to you to not have a kitchen for that amount of time!

As such, it is crucial to have a well-drawn plan before you embark on your kitchen remodeling to ensure a smooth process. Here are the key steps to take and take note of:

• Design and planning stage – Carefully consider what is your ideal dream kitchen like and research ideas from magazines or the internet so that you can share your vision with the designers on your preferred look and feel. This is indeed the most important stage, and you should communicate your ideas and specifications clearly so that your designer can plan and feedback any challenges accordingly.
• Ordering of materials – For materials that require a longer lead time, such as granite, it is useful to select them first so that the process can be kickstarted without delays later.
• Demolition – The existing kitchen setup will be demolished so that the condition of the existing floors, walls, and ceiling can be inspected. Modifications and repair works will be done if required, and remodeling works can then proceed.
• Electrical layout – It is most likely that your existing kitchen’s electrical wirings and light fixtures need to be upgraded or fixed to match your new kitchen’s look. This step is also crucial as it is difficult to shift the electrical points in the process later.
• Flooring installation – The new floor tiles are installed right before installing the new kitchen cabinets.
• Countertop and cabinet installation – Your dream kitchen is about to be completed as you see your new cabinets and perfect countertop being set up in this stage.
• Painting and touch-ups – The last stage will involve installing any plumbing fixtures, decorative backsplashes, and painting of the kitchen walls. Small touch-ups and cleanup of the kitchen will be done to complete the project.
