The duration to install custom cabinets can range widely based on various factors. A professional contractor typically can install new kitchen cabinets in 5 to 7 days. If the project is part of a larger remodel, like new countertops, the process can take up to 14 days or more​.

The size and complexity of the cabinet project can significantly affect the timeline. For a larger space requiring more cabinets, the installation process may extend. The nature of the project itself is another important factor that can influence the duration​​.

Generally, installing custom kitchen cabinets might take a few days, around 3 days on average. However, if the installation is part of a complete kitchen remodel, the whole process could take about eight weeks from start to finish​.

Keep in mind that custom cabinetry on its own can take anywhere between 2 and 7 days for complete installation. This timeline is not set in stone and can vary based on specific project requirements and circumstances​.

If the cabinet installation is paired with countertop installation, the timeline might extend. After the cabinets are installed, which typically takes two to three days, countertops can take an additional two weeks from template to install​.
