That’s great! How long it takes to remodel a kitchen depends on numerous factors, but generally, a straightforward remodel could take six to eight weeks.
It depends on the changes you have in mind, but if all the products and materials you want are well-stocked and get delivered on time, and with the help of an experienced
contractor
, six to eight weeks is generally a pretty reasonable timeline to expect.
Factors that could extend the amount of time a kitchen remodel takes are:
  • Construction delays
  • Complicated electrical work
  • Plumbing issues
If you need to send back an appliance, or you discover additional changes or repairs are needed, these could draw things out even more.
More complicated changes, like adding or removing walls, can also end up taking more time. While most remodels should be complete in six to eight weeks, it’s also a good idea to prepare yourself to extend that timeline if issues arise.
Enjoy your new and improved kitchen once it’s complete! If you’re looking to pair your kitchen updates with an updated home insurance policy,
