A bathroom remodel takes 3 to 6 months, a kitchen remodel 4 to 7 months, and a full home build or major addition 12 to 18 months. Always add 10 to 20 percent buffer time for permit delays, material backorders, and weather. If your contractor quotes a 12-month timeline, plan for 14 to 15 months. Most homeowners underestimate permit approval by 4 to 8 weeks, especially in jurisdictions with architectural review boards. Kingdom & Co. factors permitting and material lead times into all quotes and communicates these delays transparently upfront, so homeowners don’t experience surprise delays mid-project and can plan temporary accommodations accordingly.
