What Drives Your Kitchen Renovation Timeline in NJ?
Every kitchen remodel is different, but the biggest factors that affect duration are the extent of structural changes, the complexity of cabinet and countertop fabrication, and how quickly permits are approved. Cosmetic updates like refacing cabinets and replacing countertops can take 3–5 weeks, while a full gut renovation with new layout, plumbing, and electrical work often runs 8–12 weeks.
