How long should a basement renovation take?
The amount that is reasonable to spend on your kitchen renovation depends on your purpose to renovate.
If you plan to increase the value of your home for resale, only spend as much you suspect will be made back when it is time to sell.
On the other hand, if you’re remodelling for a more functional or eye-catching space, decide what fits comfortably within your current financial situation. This answer will be different for everyone. It’s important to understand your objective and make a decision based on what your desired outcome is.
At the end of the day, your new renovation isn’t going to feel good if the cost is beyond what is reasonable for you. That’s why at InnovationReno, our experience and guidance will help you design a beautiful and functional kitchen that is kind of your wallet.
How much should a basement renovation cost?
We’ve all seen the 24 hours extreme makeovers on TV. As efficient as this would be, real-life renovations can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
The length of any renovation depends on the scope of the project, the specific requirements of the space, and the availability of products and materials.
As a general idea, the length of time under construction can be 6-8 weeks for a straightforward and average kitchen. For a more elaborate or larger kitchen, the project can last up to 3 months. This can vary greatly and is dependant on many factors.
