Before construction begins, you’ll need to decide on the layout, materials, finishes, and overall budget. This is also when cabinets, countertops, flooring, appliances, and fixtures should be selected.

Making these decisions early helps prevent delays once the work begins.

Some products can be picked up quickly, while custom cabinets, specialty tile, and certain fixtures may take several weeks to arrive. Ideally, major materials should be ordered before demolition begins.

Once everything is ready, the existing kitchen is removed. Depending on the size of the space and the amount of work involved, demolition may take a few days.

If you’re changing the layout, moving appliances, adding lighting, or removing walls, this work happens before the new finishes are installed. Inspections may also be required during this stage.

Next comes drywall, paint, flooring, cabinets, countertops, backsplash, fixtures, and appliances. This is usually the longest part of the remodel, but it’s also when the new kitchen really starts coming together.

A straightforward kitchen update may take several weeks, while a larger renovation involving layout changes or custom materials can take a few months. Product availability, inspections, design changes, and unexpected issues can all affect the schedule.

The best way to keep your project moving is to finalize selections early and work with a remodeling contractor who communicates clearly throughout the process.
