The duration of a kitchen remodel depends on the complexity and scope of the project. According to ACN Construction, homeowners should generally expect the following timeframes:
- Standard Remodels: Typically take 4–8 weeks.
- Complex Projects: Those involving structural changes can extend to 10–12 weeks.
Several factors can influence this timeline, including:
- Permitting: Obtaining permits through the City of Centennial or Denver’s permitting office can add several weeks to the schedule (typically a 1–3 week review period).
- Material Lead Times: Custom cabinetry often has lead times that may stretch 4–6 weeks beyond initial estimates.
- Integrated Design-Build: Using a design-build approach helps keep timelines predictable by coordinating all phases—from initial concept drawings to final inspection—under one roof.
- Inspections: The schedule must account for rough-in and final inspections to ensure code compliance, particularly before cabinet installation can begin.
