A kitchen remodel can take several weeks or months to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your project. During this time, you’ll be coordinating with contractors, designers, suppliers, and other professionals involved in the renovation. With all these moving parts, scheduling kitchen remodels into your calendar can be half the challenge.
Here are some tips on how scheduling your next kitchen remodel.
