How Long Does a ConnecTicut shoreline Kitchen Remodel Take?

On average, a kitchen remodel takes 2 to 3.5 months. Proper design, planning, and ordering items early are the main factors impacting a remodel's efficiency.

The timeline for your remodel also depends on the project's complexity, which we'll discuss later in this blog.

 

The Process of Kitchen Remodeling in Connecticut

A seamless kitchen remodel begins with careful planning and clear communication.  Below is an overview of the kitchen remodeling process with Craft Design + Build.

 

1. Initial Consultation and Design Planning

Every successful kitchen remodel in Connecticut begins with an in-depth consultation to discuss your goals, vision, and budget. This initial step ensures we fully understand your expectations and design preferences, setting the stage for a well-organized and efficient project.

 

2. Measure Meeting

Our team will visit your home to take precise measurements and assess the current conditions. This step ensures that construction drawings are accurate and tailored to your space, reducing the potential for delays or errors once the build begins.

 

3. Redline Meeting

In this meeting, we review the initial design concepts with you and make adjustments based on your feedback. This ensures that the final design aligns perfectly with your vision and requirements, leaving no room for surprises.

 

4. Selections Meeting

You'll meet with our selection specialist to choose the finishes, fixtures, and materials that bring your dream kitchen to life. As professional kitchen designers in Connecticut, we guarantee no price markups on your selections. You can confidently explore high-end options that reflect your personal style and preferences without worrying about unnecessary increases to your kitchen remodel budget.

 

5. Engineering and Construction Drawings

If your kitchen remodel involves structural changes, we work closely with engineers to ensure everything is safe and code-compliant. Once reviewed, we finalize detailed construction drawings that will guide the build process to keep everything aligned with regulations.

 

6. Trades Day

Before construction begins, we walk through the project with our trusted trade partners to confirm all the final details and align schedules. This coordination ensures that every team member is on the same page, which helps prevent delays during the build.

 

7. Build Agreement

The build agreement provides a clear roadmap for the construction phase. It outlines the full scope of work, costs, and timelines, ensuring complete transparency before the remodel begins.

 

8. Construction Phase

This is where your kitchen vision becomes reality. Our experienced team will work efficiently, maintain a clean job site, and stay on schedule. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed with real-time updates via our project management app, ensuring open communication every step of the way.

 

9. Final Walk-Through and Project Completion

Once construction wraps up, we'll conduct a final walk-through with you to ensure that every aspect of the remodel meets your expectations. If any final adjustments are needed, they’ll be handled promptly. With our 5-year warranty, you can be sure that our commitment to quality craftsmanship extends long after your kitchen remodel is complete.

What Impacts the Connecticut Kitchen Remodeling Timeline?

Several elements can impact the overall timeline of your Connecticut kitchen remodeling project. Here are some of the most common factors to keep in mind to help you plan your remodel better:

 

New Cabinets

Installing new cabinetry can vary in complexity. A simple cabinet swap is much quicker than designing and fitting custom cabinets, which can add to the timeline, especially if intricate designs or layout changes are involved.

 

Installing New Flooring

Flooring installation generally takes an additional week to lay and cure the material. The type of flooring you choose—hardwood, tile, or luxury vinyl—can also influence the timeline.

 

Changing Window Locations

Altering window placements or adding new windows introduces structural changes. These can extend your timeline, especially if you need to account for permits or structural reinforcements.

 

Structural Changes

If your remodel includes moving walls or making other structural modifications, you can expect a longer timeline. These changes highly impact a remodel's design and require careful engineering to ensure they are safe and compliant.

 

Plumbing and Electrical Layout Changes

Updating plumbing and electrical layouts takes time, especially in older shoreline homes. Complex rerouting or installing new systems can take several days or even weeks.
