One of the most common questions we get at Aligned Kitchen and Cabinets is: "How long will my kitchen remodel take?" And it’s a great question — knowing the timeline helps you plan your life, minimize disruption, and set realistic expectations.

While every project is unique, there are general timeframes you can expect. Here’s a look at the typical phases of a full kitchen renovation and how long each one usually takes.

1. Initial Consultation & Kitchen Design Planning (2–3 Weeks)

Your journey starts with an in-home consultation where we learn about your needs, take measurements, and explore your kitchen design style. From there, we develop 2D plans and 3D renderings.

We also help you select materials like custom cabinets, countertops, and fixtures — and finalize the design with your feedback.

Tip: The more prepared and decisive you are during this stage, the faster it can move.

2. Quoting & Approval (1–2 Weeks)

Once the design is finalized, we prepare a detailed quote covering everything: materials, labor, trades, delivery, and installation. When you're ready to move forward, we lock in your project start date.

3. Product Ordering & Lead Time (4–6 Weeks)

Custom cabinetry and select finishes can take several weeks to arrive. During this time, we schedule all trades, organize your home renovation timeline, and make sure everything is ready for install.

Note: Cabinet lead times can vary — especially during busy seasons or for highly customized orders.

4. Demolition & Prep (1 Week)

Once we’re on site, the first step is removing your old kitchen. We handle all demolition safely and efficiently and prepare the space for construction.

5. Construction & Installation (3–5 Weeks)

This is the heart of the renovation. It typically includes:

• Cabinet installation
• Countertops and backsplashes
• Electrical, plumbing, and lighting work
• Flooring, painting, and trim

Each phase is managed carefully by experienced remodeling contractors to avoid delays and maintain quality.

6. Final Touches & Walkthrough (1 Week)

After installation is complete, we go over every detail with you. Any last-minute adjustments or touch-ups are taken care of before we hand over your beautiful new kitchen.

Total Estimated Timeline: 8–12 Weeks

From first consultation to final walkthrough, most full kitchen remodels take about 2 to 3 months.

Remember: It’s not just about speed — it’s about getting it done right. Rushing can lead to costly mistakes and long-term regrets.
