Most full-home remodels take 3-6 months from demolition to final walkthrough. Timelines vary based on scope, structural changes, custom features, material lead times, and whether you phase the work room by room.
It depends on the scope. For phased remodels where we work room by room, most homeowners stay in their homes. For gut renovations affecting kitchens, bathrooms, and major systems simultaneously, temporary housing may be more comfortable. We discuss options during planning.
