What to Expect During a Home Remodel: A Week-by-Week Timeline
By Sonoma Enterprises – Remodeling Experts on the Treasure Coast
Planning a remodel can feel overwhelming. One of the first questions homeowners ask us is:
“How long will this take, and what happens each week?”
At Sonoma Enterprises, we believe in full transparency. That’s why we build and follow detailed timelines — so you always know what’s happening next.
Here’s a realistic week-by-week guide to what you can expect during a full home remodel — including flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, and trim work.
🗓️ Week 1: Demo + Prep Work
Full demo of flooring, kitchen cabinets, and bathrooms
Popcorn ceiling removal
Begin ceiling refinishing with sprayed knockdown texture
Prep surfaces for flooring install
What to expect:
It’s loud, messy, and essential. We keep it tight and clean as possible.
🛠️ Week 2: Floor Tile + Shower Prep
Install porcelain plank flooring (we typically use 9x48 throughout)
Begin master shower prep: hang cement board, waterproof, build curb, install PVC liner
Coordinate tile layout for entire home
Why it matters:
Getting floors in before cabinets ensures clean lines and no awkward cuts later.
🧱 Week 3: Kitchen Cabinet Install + Tile Showers
Install kitchen cabinets (uppers and base)
Tile shower walls in the master and guest bathrooms
Begin prepping backsplash area
Pro Tip:
Cabinets sit perfectly atop tile — better aesthetics and longevity.
🪚 Week 4: Countertops + Trim
Install kitchen countertops (quartz, marble, or granite)
Begin installing baseboards and door trim
Final tile work on shower floors or accent walls
Timing Note:
Backsplash tile starts after countertops are set for precise alignment.
🧼 Week 5: Backsplash + Final Details
Install kitchen backsplash
Finish carpentry touches: window trim, door casings, closet detail
Begin punch list of touch-ups
🧹 Week 6–7: Final Paint + Fixtures
Final painting throughout
Install bathroom vanities, mirrors, lights, and plumbing fixtures
Clean all surfaces and prep for turnover
🏡 Week 8: Walkthrough + Handover
Final punch list review
Deep clean of all remodeled areas
Turnover day — your fresh, new space is ready!
