How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Take?
A realistic phase-by-phase timeline for a North Texas kitchen remodel.
Most full kitchen remodels take about 6 to 12 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, though planning and ordering materials beforehand can add several weeks. Simple refreshes go faster; layout changes, custom cabinetry and permitting extend the schedule. Cabinet lead time is usually the biggest variable.
