Typically a kitchen remodel can take anywhere from 14-30 days depending on how extensive the work is. Keep in mind that half this time is hours spent off-site cutting measurements for counter materials and fabricating cabinets etc. A kitchen remodel will consist of two phases. the planning phase where we choose layout design & materials such as cabinets & countertops, propose 3-d sketch and pull permits.

Once all decisions have been finalized and material is ready to install, then we begin phase two which is the construction. By using this process we minimize the amount of time you are without a fully functioning kitchen. Structural changes can sometimes double this time because it involves getting plans approved by the city, plan to check submissions, corrections, and proper permitting. Partial vs Complete: a complete kitchen gut-out will always mean a longer timeline where a partial remodel consisting of maybe just cabinet refacing, flooring, and tile can be done within two weeks.

Everyone’s first question is “how much will this kitchen remodel cost me?”. Well, we are going to do our best to clear up any grey areas when it comes to this topic.

For starters, the size of the kitchen is the biggest factor in price as well as the amount of cabinet and counters. Structural changes can guarantee a fluctuation in cost due to structural engineering plans and city fees. Wall removals can be costly at times if any electrical or plumbing work needs to be redone.

The biggest expenses in a kitchen remodel come from the cabinets & countertops. Of course, each offers a wide range of materials to choose from that can either drastically increase or decrease your budget. Tile and flooring can become big-ticket items depending on your style choices. In the end, what it comes down to is the choice of materials and scope of work. A partial remodel can run anywhere from 6-20k whereas a complete kitchen remodel can be anywhere from 25k and up.
