How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Last Updated June 24, 2026

A remodel isn’t just construction. The process moves through three phases: design (typically 12-16 weeks), permitting (6-8 weeks), and construction (12-20 weeks). From first meeting to finished project, most kitchen remodels take somewhere in the range of 7-11 months, though every project is different. The scope of your project, the complexity of your home’s existing conditions, the jurisdiction you’re in, and how quickly decisions get made along the way all factor into the final timeline. If you have a target completion date in mind, that’s a great place to start the conversation with your designer.
