HOW LONG WILL YOUR KITCHEN RENOVATION TAKE? WHAT TO EXPECT
Knowing how long your kitchen renovation project will take enables you to plan yourself out well throughout the duration.
While you would prefer a faster project, remember that it all depends on the amount of work needed to be done. Another main determinant is the contractor you hire. All these are if your budget doesn’t interfere.
Let’s see the main works that go into a kitchen renovation project and how long they are likely to take.
Upgrading to a New Custom-made Kitchen
Going for a kitchen built from designing, there would be two stages. The design stage that will last from 6 to 8 weeks and construction stage that will last from 4 to 12 weeks. A professional kitchen designer will take necessary measurements after consultation and draft the most fitting design for you.
A cabinetmaker takes up the second stage of the process after you hand over the design to him. After construction, installation of the appliances follows. If you go for imported materials, the construction process is likely to take longer. Laminate is easy to produce and takes less time.
Buying a Pre-Constructed Kitchen
The installation of a purchased pre-constructed kitchen will take just 1 to 2 days. The only delay might come from making a proper selection of cabinetry and appliances. After checking out, you’ll get the delivery of your flat-kitchen or IKEA directly to your doorstep.
The main problem with preconstructed kitchen is that the different components will likely have different finishes. Moreover, you cannot compare it in quality with the custom-made kitchen.

Other activities that can take time is choosing custom stone or engineered countertops.
