A complete kitchen remodel with custom cabinets typically takes 8 to 16 weeks from design approval to completion.

Stock cabinet projects move faster, typically 4 to 6 weeks total.

Quartz (engineered stone) offers the best combination of durability, stain resistance, and low maintenance. It does not require sealing and resists chips and cracks. Granite is extremely hard and heat resistant but requires periodic sealing. Quartzite is the hardest natural stone option. Marble is beautiful but softer and more prone to etching from acids. Each material has trade-offs between aesthetics, maintenance, and durability.

Yes, cabinet refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts, and applies new veneer to cabinet boxes while retaining the existing cabinet structure. This costs approximately 30 to 50 percent less than full replacement and takes less time. Refacing works well when the existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the current layout is functional. It is not suitable if you want to change the kitchen layout.

Clean daily with mild soap and water or a stone-specific cleaner. Seal granite and marble every 6 to 12 months (water drop test: if water soaks in within 5 minutes, resealing is needed). Use trivets for hot pans and cutting boards to prevent scratches. Blot spills immediately, especially acidic substances like lemon juice, wine, and tomato sauce that can etch marble and limestone.
