Kitchen Renovation Timeline

A clear renovation timeline is one of the most powerful tools you can have.

This tracker outlines each phase of your kitchen project — from early planning to final styling — with realistic lead times for key milestones like cabinet design, appliance orders, and construction steps.

You can use it as a reference, a planning guide, or customize it to reflect your exact project. The goal is to help you understand what happens when, what decisions need to be made in advance, and how to pace the process without unnecessary delays.

Tips:

• Always build in buffer time — especially for cabinets, appliances, and permitting

• Plan your decisions before your contractor needs them

• Never assume items are available — confirm lead times before locking in your schedule

• A good timeline prevents stress, missed orders, and rushed choices
