There are plenty of opportunities to put the pedal to the metal<\/em> in this life, but during the life cycle of your dream kitchen<\/a> isn\u2019t <\/em>one of them. You may want to sit down for this: when a kitchen remodel or rebuild is done properly, it could easily take from 6-8 months to complete, all dependent on the scale of your plans, and the unseen hurdles that WILL inevitably pop up. Potentially altering aspects of your home\u2019s plumbing, electrical components, structural elements, and major aesthetic considerations are critically important undertakings, and take time.
