What a kitchen week actually
looks like.
Day one is protection, hardware off, and doors out. Frames and boxes get prepped and coated on site. Doors and drawer fronts often go to the shop for spray work so the house is not a paint booth. Then coats, cure, hardware back on, and a clean kitchen. A compact 15-door job sits at the short end. A 30-door custom color with repairs sits toward 7 days.
We give you the timeline on the estimate, not after we start. Process detail: kitchen cabinet refinishing.
What a bathtub day
looks like.
One crew, one day. Mask, prep, repair chips, coat, leave you with cure instructions. Light use in 4-6 hours; regular use in 24 hours. Do not fill it for a long soak the first night. Tile walls in the same visit add hours, not another week.
Same-day is why landlords use this between tenants. Details: bathtub refinishing.
What slows a
job down.
More doors. Doors that need filling or re-veneer decisions. A color you have not locked. HOA freight elevator windows in a San Francisco condo. A hillside driveway that changes how we stage. None of that is a reason to promise 3-5 days on a kitchen and miss it.
Weather and humidity matter more on tubs than on shop-finished doors. We plan for Bay Area marine air on coastal jobs instead of pretending every house is a warehouse.
Can both rooms run
together?.
Yes. A kitchen plus bathtub combo is scheduled as one project so you are not hosting two trades in two months. The kitchen still needs 3-7 days; the tub is still a same-day piece inside that window. Combo pricing lives in the cost guide.
