One of the most common questions we hear from Hamilton-area homeowners is simple: how long will my renovation take? Timelines depend on scope, permits, material lead times, and inspection scheduling — not just crew size.
Kitchen and bathroom renovations
Smaller bath refreshes may take a few weeks. Full ensuite gut remodels with custom tile, glass, and relocated plumbing commonly take longer.
Kitchen projects with structural openings or custom cabinetry lead times extend schedules — especially when multiple trades must pass inspections in sequence.
Basement and addition projects
Basement renovations often take 4–12+ weeks depending on suite compliance, moisture remediation, and mechanical scope.
Home additions — especially second-storey expansions — frequently run 3–6 months or more from permit to completion.
Full home renovations
Whole-home projects span multiple months because structural, mechanical, and finishing work happens in coordinated phases. We publish a clear schedule before construction begins.
Key takeaways
- Permits and inspections add necessary time — plan for them upfront.
- Structural work and custom materials extend timelines.
- A written schedule prevents surprise delays.
