Planning a kitchen remodel can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. While transforming your space is incredibly rewarding, the process involves a lot of moving parts. One of the most common questions we get from homeowners is: “How long will my kitchen remodel take?”
We’ve put together this guide to walk you through what to expect from start to finish in today’s remodeling process..

How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Take in 2025?
The short answer? Anywhere from 10 to 16 weeks of construction time—but the full process, from initial design to final walkthrough, can span 4 to 6 months.
Why the long timeline? Product lead times—especially cabinets—are the biggest factor. Our most popular cabinet line currently has a 16-week lead time, due to high demand and ongoing supply chain slowdowns. We do offer a few faster options (2–3 weeks), but those are limited in terms of style and finishes.
What You Can Expect
-
1–2 months: Design & material selections
-
2–4 months: Product ordering and delivery
-
10–16 weeks: On-site construction
🕒 Planning to remodel this year? The earlier you start, the better. If you're aiming for a fall completion, now’s the time to begin.
What’s the Correct Order for a Kitchen Remodel?
Understanding the order of operations for a kitchen renovation helps keep your project on track:
-
Demolition & rough-in work
-
Cabinet installation – must be done before countertops
-
Countertop templating & install
-
Flooring – installed after cabinets to avoid damage
-
Backsplash & trim work
-
Plumbing & electrical final hook-ups
-
Appliance install & finish carpentry
➡️ Why is timing important? Your countertops are measured based on your installed cabinets. Flooring should be done after cabinets to protect your materials and investment.
✅ Kitchen Remodeling Tips for 2025
-
Start early: With current construction timelines and lead times, plan at least 6 months in advance.
-
Work with professionals: Choose a kitchen remodeling contractor who manages design, product sourcing, and installation.
-
Keep flexibility in mind: Backorders and shipping delays can impact your schedule.
