Keeping a realistic timeline can go a long way if you want to give a fresh new start to your kitchen or do repairs around it. So, you might ask, “How long does a kitchen remodeling service take?” To answer that, here is all you need to know about creating and managing a timeline for your kitchen remodel.
How Long Will It Take?
Kitchen remodels are not quick, even though the result is spectacular. This post is a continuation of the previous one, describing the factors that affect your timeline, the project size, and your planning power.
Project Scope is King
- Minor Refresh (4-8 weeks): Consider new paint, hardware, or a new backsplash. These updates are quicker as they require less demolishing and less time to acquire the materials.
- Mid-Range Remodel (2-4 months): Replacing cabinets, countertops, and appliances takes longer but provides a much greater change.
- Major Overhaul (4+ months): This means changing the layout, which may require permits and structural changes and takes more time.
Beyond Project Scope
- Material Selection: Some options, such as custom cabinets or specialty tiles, may take longer to source than the more common ones.
- The Contractor Crew: Teams working for a long time and optimizing their processes can do the work faster.
- The Planning Power of You: The more decisions and selections made in advance, the fewer hitches there are, and the process is faster.
First Time?
First-time remodelers should be very cautious and plan well to achieve the best results. Spend time on the selection process, do not hesitate to ask questions, and make mood boards. The more you are prepared, the fewer problems you will have during your remodeling process.
Picking Your Remodel Partner
Having a good team of contractors is important when remodeling your kitchen. A building supplier may be adequate for simple modifications that do not require a lot of change, such as cabinet refacing. However, you may want to hire a general contractor for significant modifications. Ask for references, compare the estimates, and ask to show the portfolio.
Permits and Approval
This step can take some time and differ in speed depending on your municipality. This is especially important if you are excited to start your project and do not want to be bogged down by a lengthy application process. The sooner you submit your request, the easier it will be to go through the planning phase and move on to the construction phase.
Budget Management
The budget is the core of any kitchen remodel and is the first thing that must be addressed. It prescribes the team and the type of materials to be used in the construction. It is also important to note that it will affect the value of your home should you decide to sell it. In addition, learn more about budgeting strategies to determine the optimal point that will give you the kitchen you always wanted at the best value for your money.
Selecting and Ordering Material
However, several considerations should be taken into account, such as the budget. Do not forget that some materials, such as tiles or custom-made cabinets, may take a long time to arrive. The earlier you order, the better construction can proceed and stay on schedule for your project.
