From First Call to Final Walkthrough—We've Got You Covered
One of the first questions we get from homeowners in Maineville, Mason, Lebanon, and throughout Warren County is:
"How long will this take?"
A perfectly fair question. Remodeling your home is an investment—not just of money, but of time. Whether you're planning a kitchen upgrade, a bathroom refresh, or a full basement transformation, knowing what to expect helps you plan better (and stress less).
Here at RGV Contracting, we've completed remodels of all shapes and sizes. Below, we're breaking down realistic timelines for the most common projects we handle.
🛁 Bathroom Remodel: 2–4 Weeks
A Smaller Space, But a Lot of Details
Bathrooms may be small, but they require plumbing, tile, cabinetry, lighting, and ventilation—all in one tight space.
Typical timeline includes:
- Demolition: 2–3 days
- Plumbing & electrical updates: 3–5 days
- Flooring, shower, and tile: 4–7 days
- Fixtures, painting, and final touch-ups: 3–5 days
Pro Tip: Custom vanities or special-order tile can add a few days—our team helps you plan ahead to avoid delays.
🍽️ Kitchen Remodel: 4–8 Weeks
The Most Valuable (and Involved) Room to Renovate
Kitchens take longer because of their complexity: layout changes, plumbing, appliance installation, cabinetry, and finishes.
Typical timeline includes:
- Design & planning: 1–2 weeks (overlap with permitting)
- Demo & rough-ins: 1 week
- Cabinets & countertops: 2–3 weeks
- Flooring, backsplash, fixtures, paint: 1–2 weeks
- Inspections & final walkthrough: a few days
RGV Tip: Cabinet lead times can be 4–6 weeks—ordering early is key.
🧱 Basement Remodel: 6–10 Weeks
Turning Unfinished Space into Functional Living Area
A basement remodel adds valuable square footage but usually involves more construction, moisture-proofing, and systems work.
Typical timeline includes:
- Framing, insulation, electrical: 1–2 weeks
- Drywall, flooring, lighting: 2–3 weeks
- Bathroom/kitchenette installs: 2–3 weeks
- Painting, trim, final touches: 1–2 weeks
Add time for egress windows, sump pumps, or permits depending on local codes.
🏡 Whole-Home Remodel: 3–6+ Months
Full Renovation? Plan for the Long Haul
These projects typically include major layout changes, multiple trades, permitting, inspections, and often require temporary relocation.
How we keep it smooth:
- Dedicated project manager
- Clear phases with weekly check-ins
- Priority scheduling with trusted local crews
At RGV Contracting, we know communication is everything. We'll walk you through every step—and stick to timelines as closely as possible.
🧰 What Affects Your Project Timeline?
Every remodel is unique, but here are the biggest time factors:
- Permit approval delays
- Backordered materials (cabinets, tile, fixtures)
- Scope changes mid-project
- Weather conditions (especially for exterior work)
- Availability of specialty trades
We minimize these risks through smart scheduling, clear communication, and reliable vendors.
