Project Timeline


Depending on the size of your project, availability of materials and contractors, and your natural decision-making process, your kitchen remodel timeline may last a few weeks or a few months. (It doesn’t happen overnight like those home makeover shows make it appear.)

Get to know the steps to remodel a kitchen and the activities in each, so you understand what to do now, what comes next in the order of events, and what a typical bath or kitchen renovation timeline looks like.


Kitchen and Bath Remodel Order of Events

 

Plan graphicKraftMaid Timeline icon Line

Typical Time Frame: As long as you need

  • Gather ideas
  • Set a budget
  • Take measurements
  • Meet with a kitchen planning professional
  • Order Masterpiece cabinetry door and finish samples
  • Refine design plans
  • Get contractor quotes

Tips:

Revise and adjust your design plan as many times as it takes. It’s easier and far less expensive to try out ideas on paper than it is to change course after you order materials and begin construction.

Typical Time Frame: VARIES

  • Order cabinets
  • Purchase fixtures, flooring and appliances
  • Box up your dishes
  • Set up a temporary kitchen

Tips:

Your cabinets will take a minimum of 4 weeks to arrive. While you’re waiting, plan ahead for life during construction. What meals you can make with a slow cooker? Where will your kids eat? How will you keep pets safe?

Demolition is dirty and dusty. Protect floors and walls leading to and from your kitchen. Expect surprises and delays in this phase. They’re part of every remodeling project.
