For a typical 150–250 sq ft kitchen, cabinet installation takes 2–4 days. Counter templating follows 1–3 days after cabinets are fully leveled and finalized. Stone countertop fabrication takes 3–10 business days after templating, depending on the material and the fabricator. Total timeline from cabinet installation start to countertops installed: 1–3 weeks for typical quartz or granite; allow additional time for specialty or custom natural stone. RainFire Builders manages the full timeline — cabinet delivery, installation, templating, fabrication, and countertop installation — so you have a single point of accountability for the kitchen schedule.
