Understanding Your Remodeling Timeline
The individual timeframes above are estimates and are provided to give you a general understanding of how a complete kitchen or bathroom remodel progresses. They should not be interpreted as a guaranteed completion schedule.
A typical project of this scope requires approximately 14–16 days at a minimum, with many projects taking 14–32 days from start to completion, depending on the size, complexity, materials, and scope of work.
Because remodeling involves multiple specialized trades, there can be some downtime between stages while one crew completes its work and the next trade is scheduled to begin. Certain materials may also require fabrication or lead time before they can be installed. We coordinate these stages as efficiently as possible, but some scheduling flexibility is necessary in a properly managed remodeling project.
Unexpected Conditions & Permissible Delays
During demolition and construction, conditions that could not reasonably be identified beforehand may be discovered. For example, we may uncover an improperly installed or deteriorated pipe inside a wall, hidden water damage, mold or damaged drywall concealed behind existing cabinets, outdated electrical components, structural issues, or other concealed conditions.
When unforeseen conditions require additional work, repairs, materials, inspections, or specialized services, they may affect both the project schedule and cost. Any necessary additional work should be evaluated and addressed before the project can proceed with the affected portion of construction.
Weather, material availability, fabrication schedules, inspections, permitting requirements, and other circumstances outside of our reasonable control may also result in permissible delays.
Bathroom Remodeling Timeline
For projects that include a bathroom remodel, additional time may be required for specialized work. As a general guideline, allow approximately 1–2 additional days for shower waterproofing and approximately 1 additional day for shower door installation, depending on the specific system, materials, and project requirements.
Our goal is not simply to complete your remodel as quickly as possible, but to complete each stage correctly and in the proper sequence. Quality workmanship, proper installation, adequate preparation, and coordination between trades are essential to achieving a finished kitchen or bathroom that looks exceptional and performs properly for years to come.
Curbless showers
Curbless showers are not only trending because they are safe & stylish – but are also required for ADA access. It is not that expensive to complete a zero-threshold walk in showe. If you are converting a tub to shower or simply remodeling your existing stand up shower, you might want to consider a curbless shower. No need to worry the shower pan is sloped properly to prevent water from building up.

We are here to help you feel at ease and worry-free during your remodel.- hire us and you can just sit back and watch your dream kitchen and bath becoming a reality.

Need to know the difference between prefab granite & custom granite?
Prefabricated granite slabs
Custom granite slabs
(which is the original way of installing granite counter tops) require more fabrication labor & almost always you are buying more material then you need. Going prefab eliminates both of those elements, which basically means more money in your wallet!
This process is still very effective if you are looking for an exotic stone, and if you would like a custom edge. Custom granite 3cm thickness is extremely popular on the East Coast, on the West Coast 2cm thickness is more popular. 3cm is thicker which allows for a more custom edge & with 3cm, you do not need a plywood sub top..
Top 3 reasons
why some homeowners decide to go with a custom slab instead of a prefabricated slab:
1) The style of the edge – there are only a three different edges that are manufactured in a prefabricated counter top; round, square, square mitered (quartz only) & single step ogee.
2) If you are concerned about multiple joints / seams for a particular unique shaped island cabinet or even a perimeter cabinet, then a custom slab may reduce the seams.
3) There are thousands of custom slab colors to choose from. Prefabricated granite counter tops have about 300-400 colors to choose from. To better understand what the term prefab means, google it!
Radon
Recent articles have come out about the prevalence of radon in granite. According to the Marble Institute of America, this concern has been very overblown. “Calculations show that, for an average counter top containing an average uranium concentration of 4 ppm, the concentration of radon that is given off by the counter top into household air is 0.00000074 pCi/L, an amount that is 270,000 times less than the level of radon in outside air! The granite counter top typically emits a radiation level of 5-10 R/hr. So the maximum contact radiation level that you would receive over one year if you were to sit on counter top all the time would be about one quarter of the annual radiation dose from all sources. If you were just a few inches away from the granite (e.g. when doing the dishes), then the dose would be too low to measure.
Natural Variation in Granite & Natural Stone Products
Always remember – Granite is a natural product with natural variations. These variations are inherent from piece to piece. No two pieces are identical, similar yes, identical no. If you are looking for consistency or a fixed simple pattern in regards to counter tops, then please visit our quartz page.
We can assist you with all of these services. It is extremely convenient, time & money saving to let one company / contractor coordinate all of these services for you.
