Because “It Depends” Isn’t a Helpful Answer

If you’re thinking about remodeling your home, chances are you’ve asked the big question:

“How long is this going to take?”

The answer? It does depend—on the size of the project, the materials you choose, and even Ohio’s unpredictable weather. But don’t worry—we’re not leaving you with a vague shrug.

At RGV Contracting, we’ve completed remodeling projects of every size across Maineville, Mason, Lebanon, Springboro, and beyond. Today, we’re giving you a realistic timeline breakdown for the most common types of home renovations so you can plan with confidence.

Average Remodeling Timelines (Start to Finish)

Let’s break it down by project type 👇

1. Kitchen Remodel

Estimated Time: 4–8 weeks

Includes: Cabinet replacement, new countertops, appliances, layout adjustments, flooring, lighting

Factors that affect timing:

• Custom cabinets vs. stock
• Appliance availability
• Plumbing or electrical changes

2. Bathroom Remodel

Estimated Time: 3–6 weeks

Includes: Vanity, tile, tub/shower upgrades, plumbing fixtures, lighting, flooring

Quicker if: You keep the original layout

Longer if: You're moving plumbing or adding luxury features like a custom shower system or soaking tub

3. Basement Remodel

Estimated Time: 6–10 weeks

Includes: Framing, drywall, electrical, flooring, bathroom install, entertainment zones, or guest rooms

Timeline tip: Basement work is less impacted by weather, which helps us stay on schedule even in winter.

4. Whole-Home Renovation

Estimated Time: 2–6 months

Includes: Multiple rooms, layout changes, flooring, HVAC, bathrooms, kitchen, interior finishes

These larger projects require more planning, more permits, and often include phasing to allow you to remain in the home during the work.

What Affects Remodel Timelines?

1. Scope of the Project

A quick refresh? Faster. A full gut and rebuild? Expect longer timelines.

2. Material Choices

Some countertops, flooring, or custom cabinets can have longer lead times. We help you choose smart to avoid delays.

3. Permits & Inspections

RGV handles all the local permitting for towns like Maineville, Mason, and Lebanon, but they can still take time depending on the project.

4. Change Orders

Changing your mind mid-project adds time. We recommend finalizing all your materials and layout before we start swinging hammers.
