How long does a typical renovation take?

A kitchen remodel takes 4 to 8 weeks. A bathroom remodel takes 3 to 5 weeks. A basement finish takes 6 to 12 weeks. A whole house renovation can take 4 to 8 months. Lead times for materials, especially custom cabinets and appliances, can add weeks. Always build buffer time into your schedule.

Why It Matters

Renovations always take longer than expected. A realistic timeline helps you plan your living arrangements and manage expectations.
