So, how long do projects typically take? When you’re planning a home renovation project, there are a bunch of factors that come into play. Your budget is typically at the top of the list. However, time is another incredibly important variable. This is due to the fact that many home improvement jobs require you to close certain areas and or rooms in your home for extended periods of time. The bottom line is that every type of project will interrupt your daily life in some form or another. It’s important for you to understand and be well prepared for the timing of the project in order to make your life easier during the construction phase.
Of course, one of the first questions that clients ask us is how long do projects typically take? The answer varies depending on the size and scope of your particular project. You also need to factor in how long it will take to deliver the finished products. For example, if you order a special tile for your bathroom floor from overseas, it may take a lot longer to arrive than a standard tile that’s already in stock. It’s obvious that a bathroom remodel will take less time than a home addition. In the same fashion, a simple bedroom home addition will take less time to complete then a multi-room addition.
There’s another important aspect to consider. It can take a bit of time to apply for and obtain the building permits. Depending on the city or town, it can take a few weeks or even a few months. However, a top-quality renovation contractor should be able to secure the building permits faster than you can. So, when all is said and done, using our home addition example, it should take anywhere from 2-3 months to complete a 1,000 square foot home addition once all of the paperwork is in place. On the other hand, a bathroom renovation typically takes anywhere from 6-8 weeks to complete, and a kitchen renovation project can also take 6-8 weeks.
Of course, the exact time frame of your project depends on the various factors that are involved with the process. You need to keep in mind that a high-quality home improvement project will not happen overnight. In essence, it’s going to take time in order to accomplish the quality results that you deserve. Factors such as the budget and the construction schedule are both important to the home improvement process. The good news is that you will receive a far more dependable process when you choose to work with a highly experienced building professional.
