Kitchen FAQs

Here we address common concerns regarding kitchen remodels.

How long does a kitchen remodel typically take?

/in /by

Depending on the scope of the job, the average kitchen remodel takes 8 to 10 weeks.

But here at Ayars, we often achieve the task in half the time by having all materials on hand (appliances, cabinetry, and products) from the start — which allows us to work continuously without delay.

It’s important to note, however, that the timeline might be extended by complex trim details, intricate cabinet layouts, complex or commercial-grade appliance installations, significant layout or structural changes, or custom range hoods.

You’ll be given a realistic estimate of that timeline prior to the project kickoff.

How long should I expect a kitchen remodel to take?

/in /by

Most kitchen remodels that do not involve moving the plumbing locations can be completed in 4 to 5 weeks. More involved kitchen renovations that include gutting the kitchen completely, possibly moving sink and appliance locations, and/or implementing more elaborate cabinetry and finish trim details can push the timeframe out several more weeks. All of this is discussed in the planning phases and a complete schedule will be finalized prior to the project start. Setting clear and honest expectations is a priority of the Ayars team and a hallmark of our reputation for exceptional service.

What is the “kitchen triangle?”

/in /by

The kitchen triangle is the working path between the sink, stove, and refrigerator — the three most-used stations during meal prep. The National Kitchen and Bath Association recommends each leg be no shorter than 10 feet and no greater than 25 feet, and that the path remain clear of obstructions. Every kitchen is different, and although this is a good rule, lifestyle and the needs of the client will often suggest the best layout.
