How Long Does a Remodel Really Take? What Homeowners Should Expect

Planning a home remodel? Whether it’s a single room or the whole house, understanding the real timeline of a renovation is key to budgeting, scheduling, and staying sane.

At Vorsaw Remodeling & Construction, we walk Rockwall homeowners through every step of the process — from planning and permitting to construction and cleanup. Here’s what to expect.

1. Design & Planning Phase: 2–6 Weeks

This includes:

• Initial consultation and project goals
• On-site measurements and layout planning
• 3D renderings or sketches
• Material selection (flooring, cabinetry, countertops, etc.)
• Final proposal and contract signing

Pro tip: The clearer your vision and faster your decisions, the quicker this phase goes.

2. Permits & Approvals: 1–4 Weeks (or longer)

Depending on project scope and location, permits may be required for:

• Structural changes (wall removal, additions)
• Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC
• Exterior remodels or ADUs

Vorsaw handles all permitting and code compliance to keep your project legal and on track.

3. Demo & Prep: 1–2 Weeks

Once approved, we begin:

• Site protection and material delivery
• Demolition of old flooring, cabinets, fixtures, etc.
• Framing and layout adjustments

This phase is quick but messy — we keep it contained and communicate daily.

4. Construction: 3–12+ Weeks (Depends on Project Size)

Estimated timelines:

• Small bathroom remodel: 3–4 weeks
• Full kitchen remodel: 6–8 weeks
• Home addition or ADU: 8–12+ weeks
• Whole-home remodel: 3–6+ months

Vorsaw provides realistic scheduling and weekly updates, so there are no surprises.

5. Final Touches & Walk-Through: 1 Week

This includes:

• Paint touch-ups and finish carpentry
• Fixture and hardware installation
• Punch list corrections and quality checks
• Final clean-up and client walk-through

We ensure everything is finished, functional, and beautiful before handing back the keys.

6. Total Time Estimate: 1–6+ Months

Your timeline depends on:

• Project size and complexity
• Permit wait times
• Product availability (especially custom items)
• How quickly decisions are made early on

Vorsaw keeps things moving with a clear schedule, consistent communication, and experienced crews.
