Timeline Expectations in 2024

Planning ยท March 10, 2024

"It will be done in two weeks." Those are famous last words in construction. Reality is often slower, especially in today's supply chain environment.

Kitchen Remodel: 6-10 Weeks

This includes demolition, rough mechanicals, drywall, and finish. The biggest hold-up? Cabinetry. Custom cabinets can take 12 weeks to arrive, so do not demo your old kitchen until the new boxes are sitting in your garage.

Bathroom: 3-5 Weeks

Smaller space, but high density of trades (plumber, tiler, electrician, painter). Coordination takes time. Drying times for waterproofing and tile mortar cannot be rushed.

Room Addition: 3-5 Months

This is major surgery for your house. Foundation pouring is weather-dependent. Framing goes fast, but inspections at every stage (footing, framing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, insulation, final) add weeks of downtime waiting for city officials.
