Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel?
Cosmetic replacement — cabinets in the same location, countertops, appliances, paint and flooring — typically does not require a permit. You do need one as soon as you move plumbing or electrical, add circuits, or alter walls.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A cosmetic refresh runs 3-5 weeks. A full gut with layout changes and permits typically runs 8-12 weeks, with cabinet lead time as the most common bottleneck.
