When you hire Corso Construction for your Arizona home remodel, we’ll make sure you understand the remodeling process every step of the way. Our team is committed to balancing efficiency, attention to detail, and quality craftsmanship so your project is completed with as little disruption to your daily life as possible. That said, every remodeling project is unique. While smaller renovations, such as a bathroom remodel, often follow a more predictable timeline, larger projects involving multiple rooms, kitchens, or primary bathrooms typically take longer due to their complexity, custom materials with extended lead times, and the need to carefully coordinate multiple trades throughout the project. Understanding these factors ahead of time helps set realistic expectations and allows you and your family to plan accordingly. If you’re wondering, “How long does a remodel take?” the week-by-week breakdown below provides a general overview of what you can expect during a typical small remodeling project.
Week One: Phase One
The first phase of your home remodeling project is site preparation and demolition or tear-down. This can take up to a week, and includes:
- Demolition of cabinets, flooring, walls, and fixtures
- Setting up plastic tarps, dust barriers, and flooring protection
- Hauling away debris and construction materials
- Addressing any underlying damage or pre-existing issues uncovered
Weeks Two to Three: Phase Two
This is where much of the behind-the-scenes work happens. It can take one or two weeks, and includes:
- Framing, or building new walls, headers, and window and door frames
- Mechanical rough-ins, or installation of plumbing, electrical components, and HVAC equipment
- Structural and infrastructure upgrades
Week Four: Phase Three
This is a transitional week during which we handle inspections and compliance requirements. We’ll take care of:
- City or municipal inspections of plumbing, electrical, and structural framing
- Insulation installation
- Drywall installation
- Priming walls and other surfaces
Weeks Five to Six: Phase Four
This is when you’ll see the most dramatic progress for your project. During these two weeks, we’ll handle:
- Flooring installation
- Millwork and cabinetry installation
- Countertop fabrication
- Painting and trim
Week Seven: Phase Five
This is when you’ll see all the details start to come together. This one-week process includes:
- Countertop installation
- Installation of doors and trim, including baseboards, molding, and window casings
- Finishing electrical and plumbing elements, including outlets, light fixtures, and appliances
- Installation of tile walls, flooring, and backsplashes
Week Eight: Phase Six
This is the final phase of your home remodeling project. We’ll ease your transition from a construction zone to a newly upgraded, comfortable and functional living environment. This one-week process includes:
- Hooking up new appliances
- Completing deep construction cleaning
- Going through the post-construction punch list
- Doing a final walkthrough and inspection
