Kitchen Remodeling FAQs

expert answers from the greenwich kitchens team

What homeowners
ask us most.

Planning a kitchen remodel comes with plenty of questions, and that’s a good thing! Every home, every family, and every project is unique, so understanding the process before you begin can help you make informed decisions and feel confident every step of the way. From choosing cabinetry and countertops to understanding timelines, budgets, and installation, we’ve answered many of the questions we hear most often from homeowners. If you don’t see your question below, our team is always happy to provide personalized guidance.

How much will a kitchen remodel cost?

If we had a nickel every time someone asked us that question!

The cost of a kitchen remodel depends on many factors, including cabinet selection, the number of cabinets, construction costs for wall removals or openings, layout changes, and more. However, a good rule of thumb is that a kitchen remodel typically costs between 10% and 20% of your home’s current value.

For example, if your home is currently worth $500,000, a kitchen remodel may range from $50,000 to $100,000, depending on the factors mentioned above.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

To answer this question accurately, several factors need to be considered.

For example, if we’re removing a load-bearing wall, an engineer will need to evaluate the structure before a beam can be ordered and installed. That process alone can take up to two weeks. Cabinet lead times can range from two to eight weeks, depending on the manufacturer and product selection. If flooring needs to be removed and replaced, that can add another week to the schedule.

On average, a full kitchen remodel takes approximately 7–9 weeks from the time construction begins in your home.

Can I select my cabinets, countertops, and finishes?

Absolutely!

Our designers are here to help create a functional layout and guide you through the selection process. If you already know what you want, we’ll help bring your vision to life. If you’d like more guidance, our designers can provide options and recommendations to help you make confident decisions about how your new space will look, feel, and function.

What if I just want cabinets and countertops installed in my already empty space?

No problem.

Greenwich Kitchens can help design your empty space to maximize functionality while creating the look and feel you envision for your new kitchen. Once the design is finalized, we can order, deliver, and install the cabinetry and coordinate countertop fabrication and installation through our local partner,

Do you renovate other rooms?

Yes!

While kitchens are our specialty, Greenwich Kitchens also has extensive experience remodeling primary bathrooms, hall bathrooms, powder rooms, mudrooms, laundry rooms, bars, craft rooms, and home offices.

Be sure to visit our website and social media pages to see examples of the many different spaces we’ve transformed.

Can I live in my home during a remodel?

Many of our clients choose to remain in their homes during the remodeling process.

For kitchen remodels, we can move your refrigerator to a designated area and help create a temporary kitchen space. For all remodels, we install plastic zip walls to help contain dust and debris within the construction area as much as possible.

At the end of each workday, we clean the work area and remove all debris and trash from the site.

While living through a renovation can be challenging at times, we do everything we can to make the process as comfortable and livable as possible.

How do I choose which cabinets to order?

Greenwich Kitchens offers several cabinet lines to accommodate a variety of styles, needs, and budgets. All of our cabinet manufacturers produce quality cabinetry and stand behind their products with warranties on craftsmanship and materials.

Cabinet costs can vary based on factors such as available sizes, finishes, colors, construction methods, and organizational accessories. Generally, the more customization and options available, the higher the investment.

No matter your budget, we’re confident we can help design a beautiful, functional kitchen you’ll love for years to come.
