While the timeline in Kitchen Remodel Timeline: Your Week-by-Week Gu… is a good overview, I think underestimating the time for custom countertops and final inspections is common. These phases often have unexpected delays that can push the completion date out further than anticipated, impacting the overall project length.

A full kitchen remodel typically takes 6 to 10 weeks, extending to 2-3 months for extensive projects. Demolition and rough-ins occur in weeks 1-2, followed by walls, flooring, and cabinet installation in weeks 3-4. Custom countertops add 2-3 weeks, with final touches and inspections completing the project.

It's interesting that the article mentions "custom countertops" but doesn't really go into what makes them custom or what the lead times typically look like for different materials. Are we talking about granite, quartz, or something more unique like concrete or butcher block? Each of those can have wildly different fabrication and installation times, which would definitely mess with the timeline.
Custom countertops are definitely a variable. I found granite took about three weeks from template to install.
