Kitchen Renovation Timeline & Tips with TNA Renovations

The kitchen is the heart of the home—a space for cooking, gathering, and making memories. When it’s outdated or inefficient, it can impact your entire lifestyle. That’s why a kitchen renovation is one of the most rewarding investments you can make. But success hinges on planning, scheduling, and choosing the right renovation partner.

At TNA Renovations, we pride ourselves on delivering stunning kitchens on time and within budget. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the typical kitchen renovation timeline and share our top professional tips, while also showing you how we stand apart from our competitors in Ontario’s renovation industry.

Average Kitchen Renovation Timeline

Samson+3+After

Every renovation is unique, but here’s a general timeline you can expect with TNA Renovations:

Week 1–2: Consultation & Design Planning

  • In-home consultation to understand your vision
  • Initial measurements and scope evaluation
  • 3D design concepts and layout planning

TNA Advantage: Many competitors offer basic sketches or static ideas. TNA provides immersive 3D renderings so you can visualize the final result before construction even begins.

Week 3–4: Material Selection & Permitting

  • Choose cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, fixtures
  • Confirm project details and sign off
  • Apply for necessary building permits

TNA Edge: We work with trusted suppliers and manage all permits for you. Some competitors leave clients to handle paperwork, causing unnecessary delays.

Week 5–6: Demolition & Prep Work

  • Safe, efficient removal of old cabinetry, flooring, and appliances
  • Site prep for new construction
  • Structural and plumbing assessments

TNA’s in-house team handles demolition with precision. Many contractors outsource this phase, risking inconsistent results and timelines.

Week 7–8: Rough Construction

  • Plumbing and electrical updates
  • HVAC or venting improvements
  • Wall framing or modifications (if required)

We ensure all work is code-compliant, unlike some competitors who may rely on unlicensed labor to cut costs.

Week 9–10: Cabinet & Fixture Installation

  • Custom cabinetry installed
  • Countertops measured and fitted
  • Fixtures and lighting added

TNA Quality: Our craftsmanship ensures flawless finishes and attention to detail. Competitors may rush this phase, leading to poor alignments or hardware issues.

Week 11–12: Finishing Touches & Final Walkthrough

  • Backsplash, painting, and trim installation
  • Appliance installation
  • Final inspection and client walkthrough

We take care of every final detail before handing over your kitchen—ready for use and enjoyment.

Kitchen Renovation Tips from the Experts at TNA

Plan for the Unexpected

Even the best plans can hit a snag—like hidden water damage or delayed materials. Build in buffer time and trust a contractor that communicates openly.

Set a Realistic Budget

Account for both labor and materials. Don’t forget to include a contingency fund (10–15%) for unplanned costs.

Tip from TNA: We provide clear, upfront estimates—unlike some competitors who underbid and surprise you later.

Choose Quality over Trends

Trendy designs fade quickly. Instead, focus on timeless finishes that complement your lifestyle.

TNA guides you toward lasting value rather than quick fads—many others push expensive upsells for flashy designs.

Stay Involved but Trust the Experts

Be part of the decision-making process, but don’t micromanage. A trusted contractor like TNA Renovations will keep you in the loop while expertly managing the work.

Think Function First

Your kitchen should be more than beautiful—it should function seamlessly. Prioritize storage, workflow, and accessibility during planning.
