In my business, seasonal moments are often milestones my clients are eager to celebrate—such as a graduation, Thanksgiving dinner, a 50th birthday, or a 25th anniversary. They want their kitchen ready in time for these big events. When meeting a new client, I explain that to complete the project on schedule, we need to work backward from their desired completion date.
The design and planning phase typically takes about 3-5 weeks, followed by a cabinet lead time of 6-8 weeks, depending on the style, finish, and other factors. Discussing lead times upfront helps clients plan their remodels effectively and ensures their kitchen is ready for the celebration they envision.
