Remodeling FAQs
What’s the difference between remodeling and renovating?
While often used interchangeably, remodeling and renovating technically refer to different processes. Remodeling involves changing the structure or layout of a space—for example, tearing down a wall to create an open-concept kitchen. Renovating, on the other hand, means restoring or updating what’s already there—like refinishing cabinets or replacing outdated flooring. Most home improvement projects include a mix of both remodeling and renovating to achieve the desired result.
How long does a typical home remodeling project take?
The timeline for a remodeling project depends on several factors, including the size and scope of the work, permitting requirements, and material availability. A kitchen remodel might take 6–8 weeks, while a room addition or whole-home renovation could take several months. Design planning and permitting may add time upfront, but a well-organized contractor will provide a realistic schedule and keep you informed throughout the process.
How should I prepare for a home remodel?
Start by clarifying your goals, budget, and must-haves. Then work with a licensed contractor or design-build team to develop a clear plan. Before construction begins, remove personal items from the work area and consider how your daily routines might be impacted—especially if the project affects key spaces like kitchens or bathrooms. Good communication with your contractor can help you stay comfortable and informed during the process.
