Renovation timelines, explained room by room

A realistic guide to how long kitchens, bathrooms and whole-home renovations take, and where projects usually slip.

Design takes longer than you think

Allow six to ten weeks for design and approvals before anyone lifts a hammer. Decisions made early save weeks on site.

Lead times drive the schedule

Custom millwork, stone and imported lighting can take twelve weeks or more. We order long-lead items as soon as the design is signed off.

Build in a buffer

Old houses hide surprises. A 10 percent time and budget contingency keeps a small discovery from becoming a crisis.
