When it comes to home improvement projects, one of the most common and initial inquiries, aside from budget, is time. Homeowners want, and need, to know how long a remodel or project is going to take for the sake of their personal schedules and obligations. From taking the kids to school to planning birthday parties and more, many people want their remodels done in a timely fashion to get back into their normal routine.

These time estimations are simply averages, and can differ depending on several variables. Hiring the right crew, weather conditions, parts delivery, and more can affect the amount of time needed to complete a home remodel or renovation. For example, the average timeline for cabinetry installation is 3 weeks, however, custom cabinets average 5 weeks for completion while cabinet re-facing or refinishing generally takes 2 weeks. Accordingly, basement remodels are always long, and can take more than 2 months depending on the size of the crew and the square footage of the space. In fact, the top 20 percent of basement remodels averages 16 weeks for completion.

The best way to ensure your remodel stays on a convenient timeline is to hire a reputable and licensed general contractor. They have the tools, resources, and know-how to effectively manage your home improvement projects in a budget that works.
