How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Really Take? Here’s the Timeline

One of the first questions homeowners ask before starting a kitchen remodel is:
“How long will it take?”

It’s a great question — and the answer depends on the size of the project and how prepared you are. At Alma Granite, we aim for speed without sacrificing quality. Whether you’re doing a full kitchen renovation or just replacing countertops and cabinetry, here’s a look at how the timeline typically breaks down.

“ With the right planning and professional team, your kitchen remodel can be fast, smooth, and stress-free — and yes, it can be done in weeks, not months. ”

Step 1: In-Home Consultation & Measurements (1–2 Days)

Every project starts with a visit to your home. We take exact measurements, assess the space, and talk through your design goals. This step ensures your new kitchen fits your layout and lifestyle perfectly.

Time estimate: 1–2 days to schedule and complete

Step 2: Design & Material Selection (3–7 Days)

After measurements, our team creates a preliminary 3D design and helps you choose your materials — granite, quartz, marble, cabinetry style, and layout details.

Tip: The faster you approve designs and selections, the faster we can start fabrication.

Time estimate: 3–7 days depending on your schedule

Step 3: Stone Fabrication & Cabinet Prep (7–10 Days)

Once designs are locked in, we fabricate your countertops using CNC technology for exact cuts and polish. If cabinetry is included, we also prep the layout and coordinate all parts.

Time estimate: 7–10 days (can overlap with design approvals if fast-tracked)

Step 4: Demolition & Site Prep (1–2 Days)

If you’re replacing old countertops, sinks, or cabinets, we’ll remove them and prepare the space for new installation. This is quick, clean, and carefully done to avoid disruption.

Time estimate: 1–2 days

Step 5: Installation (1–3 Days)

This is where the magic happens. We install the stone countertops, sink cutouts, backsplashes, and cabinetry. Everything is checked for level, fit, and finish.

Time estimate:

• Countertops only: usually 1 day

• Full kitchen: 2–3 days

Step 6: Finishing Touches & Walkthrough (1 Day)

Final sealing, hardware placement, cleanup, and your walkthrough. We answer questions, give care instructions, and make sure you’re completely happy.

Time estimate: 1 day

Total Estimated Timeline: 2–3 Weeks

Yes, you read that right. With Alma Granite, many full kitchen remodels can be completed in just 14–21 days — depending on complexity and how quickly design decisions are made.

We coordinate everything in-house to keep the process fast and efficient — no delays, no confusion, just results.
