Realistic on-site durations
These ranges assume materials are selected and on hand before demolition starts, which is exactly how we run projects. Selection-first scheduling is the single biggest timeline protector in this industry.
| Project | Typical on-site time | Add for permits/HOA |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom remodel | 3–6 weeks | 0–2 weeks |
| Kitchen remodel | 6–12 weeks | 0–2 weeks |
| Whole-home remodel | 3–6 months | 2–6 weeks |
| Room addition | 4–8 months | 4–8 weeks |
| Outdoor living / patio | 3–8 weeks | 2–6 weeks (HOA) |
What actually causes delays
Three culprits cause most overruns: materials ordered too late (cabinetry and windows carry the longest lead times), surprises behind walls in older homes (we scope with inspections up front and carry a contingency), and decision changes mid-build. A written schedule with milestones, agreed before demolition, keeps all three under control.
In The Woodlands, HOA review for exterior work adds lead time, not build time. We file early so approvals arrive before the crew does.
