What causes remodeling projects to run over schedule?
Last Updated June 24, 2026
Even the most carefully planned remodel can encounter delays. The most common culprits are permitting timelines, material lead times, and unexpected conditions discovered during demolition — things like rot, outdated wiring, or structural issues that couldn't be seen beforehand.
Some of these factors are outside anyone's control, which is why Neil Kelly builds flexibility into every construction schedule and doesn't begin demolition until materials are in hand and every trade partner is confirmed. If anything does shift, your Project Manager will communicate promptly and work with you on the best path forward to mitigate suprises.
