What to expect, week by week — and what changes the price
The one page every competitor we researched leaves off their site. Here is the real schedule, and the real list of what moves the number.
The schedule
A typical full kitchen remodel
- 01
Weeks 1–2: demolition and the rough-in. If plumbing or electrical is moving, that work happens now, behind the walls — you still have a working sink most of this stretch, usually relocated to a laundry room or a temporary spot.
- 02
Weeks 3–5: the kitchen is genuinely gone. No counters, no sink, sometimes no floor. This is the stretch to have a folding table and a microwave set up somewhere else. Cabinets go in first, then countertop templating and install.
- 03
Weeks 6–8: backsplash, appliances, fixtures, punch-list items, and the final walkthrough. By the end of this stretch the kitchen is fully back — every job ends with a walkthrough where anything that is not right gets fixed before we call it done.
A bathroom or basement job runs shorter — we give you the specific schedule for your project at the design consultation, not a generic range.
The price
What actually decides the price
Two projects the same size can price very differently. This is the real list of what moves the number.
- Whether the layout changes — moving a sink or a wall means real plumbing and electrical work; keeping the footprint doesn't
- Cabinet tier — stock, semi-custom and custom are three different price points before install labor is counted
- Countertop material — laminate, quartz and natural stone price differently and wear differently
- What's under the old flooring — subfloor repair is common once it's exposed, and isn't optional once it's found
- Permits — a structural or electrical change needs one, which is real added time and cost, not padding
