How long does it take to remodel a kitchen?
Depending on its size and scope, a kitchen remodel can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a year or more.
For a major renovation involving changes to the structure and layout of the space, a realistic remodel timeline is 6 to 12 months. That includes the time it takes to plan and design your space, hire a contractor, order products, demolish the existing kitchen, and then build-out the new kitchen.
Home renovation projects like a kitchen remodel are complicated because important steps must happen in a very particular order. Disruptions to that order, such as a contractor or subcontractor falling ill, or the weather delaying a product shipment, lengthen the entire process. Anticipate these hiccups by building buffer times between each step.
Define your project’s scope.
Begin planning your kitchen remodel by envisioning your end-goal, your dream. Gather photos and design inspiration. Refine the style until you feel like you know exactly what you want. Will you replace cabinets, countertops, flooring and appliances? Add a sink or range hood? Move a wall? Dream big, and then ask yourself what is a must-have and what is nice-to-have. The larger the scope of your remodel, the more important it will be to develop and stick to a detailed plan.
Create a budget.
The industry rule-of-thumb for a major kitchen remodel is to create a budget of 10-25 percent of your home’s total value. But regardless of the dollar amount you’ve determined for yourself is appropriate, knowing and sticking to your budget is critical. To be safe, include an extra 10-15% safety cushion into your budget, in the case that unexpected problems or issues arise.

- Consult a kitchen designer.
- Select your cabinet door style and color.
