How Long Does a Full Home Renovation Really Take
One of the first questions homeowners ask when planning a
renovation is: “How long will it take?” It’s a fair question —
remodeling impacts your daily life, and timelines matter when
you’re investing serious money into your home.
At Takes Two Construction, we believe in being
transparent about the process. The truth is, timelines vary
depending on scope, complexity, and whether clients add
changes along the way. To give you clarity, let’s break down
what influences a renovation timeline — and how our Carrollton
project demonstrates both eViciency and flexibility.
Typical Renovation Timelines
While every home is diVerent, here’s what North Texas
homeowners can generally expect:
• Kitchen Remodel:
2–4 weeks
• Bathroom Remodel: 2–4 weeks
• Full Interior Remodel:
4–6 weeks
• Whole-Home Renovation (interior + exterior):
12–16 weeks
These timelines assume standard scope
— meaning the project is defined at the start and completed
without major design changes.
What Extends a Timeline?
1. Design Revisions – If homeowners request changes
after construction has started, it can mean reordering
materials or revising plans.
2. Scope Additions –
Adding new work mid-project (such as fencing, patios, or
outdoor kitchens) naturally extends duration.
3. Permits & Inspections –
Certain upgrades (electrical, structural, irrigation) require
city approvals that may cause brief delays.
4. Material Lead Times –
Specialty items like custom cabinetry or imported stone can
take weeks to arrive.
Case Study: Carrollton Renovation
Our Vasquez Family Renovation in Carrollton is the
perfect example. Originally scoped as an exterior renovation,
the project expanded into a full interior remodel, outdoor
kitchen, irrigation, fencing, siding, and a double-tiered
retaining wall.
• Timeline: April – September
2025 (6 months total)
• Typical Duration for Similar Scope:
3 months
• Reason for Extension: Homeowners added
multiple scopes of work and design changes throughout the
process.
By staying flexible and communicating
clearly, we delivered every addition seamlessly — ensuring the
clients got their dream home without sacrificing quality.
Why Timelines Matter:
A clear timeline benefits both contractor and homeowner. It:
• Sets realistic expectations
• Reduces stress
during construction
• Helps coordinate budgets and
temporary living arrangements
At TTC, we build
project calendars with buler time for inspections and material
delays. This proactive planning prevents surprises and keeps
projects moving eViciently.
The TTC Dilerence:
Our approach combines premium subcontractor partnerships with dedicated project management. That means even when timelines extend due to add-ons, our crews stay accountable, and homeowners are kept informed every step of the way.
Planning Your Renovation:
While no two projects are identical, the key takeaway is
this:a typical full-home renovation takes about 3 months,
but scope changes and additions can extend it.
At
Takes Two Construction, we work with you to create a realistic
timeline — and adapt when your vision evolves.
