# How Long Does a Remodel Take?

> Realistic timelines for shower replacements, tub-to-shower conversions, full bathroom remodels, kitchen updates and handyman jobs in Central Arkansas, and what can slow them down.

Timelines depend on the size of the job, the condition of what is behind the walls and how quickly selections are made. Use this as a planning guide, then confirm your schedule during your [free in-home quote](https://allstarreno.com/contact).

## Typical timeframes

| Project | Typical on-site time |
| - | - |
| [Shower replacement](https://allstarreno.com/bathroom-remodeling/all-star-shower-systems) | Often 1-2 days\* |
| [Tub-to-shower conversion](https://allstarreno.com/bathroom-remodeling/tub-to-shower-conversions) | Often 1-2 days |
| [Walk-in tub](https://allstarreno.com/bathroom-remodeling/walk-in-tubs) | Depends on plumbing and electrical needs |
| [Full bathroom remodel](https://allstarreno.com/bathroom-remodeling) | Longer; depends on layout changes |
| [Kitchen updates](https://allstarreno.com/kitchen-remodeling) | Depends on scope (refacing, counters, backsplash) |
| [Handyman jobs](https://allstarreno.com/handyman-services) | Many are completed in a single visit |

On-site time does not include the planning, selection and ordering period before work begins.

## What can extend a timeline

* **Hidden damage.** Rot, mold or leaks found when old materials come out must be fixed first.
* **Layout changes.** Moving a drain, toilet or wall adds plumbing and framing work.
* **Special-order products.** Custom sizes or colors can take longer to arrive.
* **Changes mid-project.** Decide on finishes before work starts to keep things moving.
* **Permits and inspections**, when required. See [Permits in Conway and Faulkner County](https://allstarreno.com/docs/planning/permits-conway-faulkner-county.md).

## Frequently asked questions

> **How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?**
>
> Most tub-to-shower conversions by All-Star Renovations are completed in 1-2 days\* once materials are on site.

> **Can I use my bathroom during the project?**
>
> Not the area being worked on. For short shower projects, plan on another shower for a day or two. For longer remodels, plan for a second bathroom or alternate arrangements.

> **When should I start planning?**
>
> Reach out a few weeks before you want work to begin, and earlier if you are planning around a holiday, a move-in date or a family visit.
