Kitchen shown took 5 days from start to finish.
Q. I am interested in doing my kitchen, but am unsure as to how long my home will be torn up? How long does a job take?

A: It depends on the scope of the job, but generally for a standard kitchen refacing, you can expect to be without your kitchen for three to five days. All new cabinetry or significant remodeling can take longer. Of course, some contractors will want to space those days out over several weeks, leaving your kitchen unusual between visits. Be sure you use a company like Kitchen Magic, that installs on consecutive days to minimize disruption.
You will want to dine out or eat take-out during that time, and you may want to have bottled water on hand. Paper plates and disposable utensils are a good idea, since you will not be able to wash dishes until the kitchen is finished.
Make sure pets and kids are kept out of the way while the job is happening. They can interfere with work and may be injured; workmen will be too busy to keep an eye on them.

I agree. It really depends on how big the changes you would like to have on your kitchen. Great advice here. I had my kitchen renovated and added some few counters and new sink it and it took few days. The picture you’ve shared looks great by the way and looks great!
