What Does a Kitchen Remodel Include?
A kitchen remodel can range from a finish-level refresh - new cabinet fronts, countertops, backsplash, and lighting - to a full renovation that changes the layout, moves plumbing and gas, and opens the kitchen to the rest of the home. The right scope depends on what's frustrating you and what your walls and floor plan will allow.
Kitchens are the most coordination-heavy room in the house. A single project can involve cabinetry, stone or quartz counters, plumbing, electrical, gas, ventilation, flooring, and appliances - each with its own trade and its own schedule. Getting the sequence and the lead times right is what keeps a kitchen from stalling halfway.
Below you'll find the kitchen projects we take on, what they cost, how long they take, and how our process keeps every trade and material moving in the right order.

Every kitchen is different, but this is a realistic picture of the timeline for a typical kitchen remodel in the Indianapolis area.
Estimate Visit & Feasibility Range
We meet, look at your kitchen, and follow up with a feasibility budget range within a few days of the visit.
Design & Selections
We design the layout and help you finalize cabinetry, counters, and appliances, then lock in a detailed quote.
Cabinet & Countertop Lead Times
Cabinets and stone are the longest-lead items, often several weeks, so we order them before demo begins.

Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most kitchens run about 4 to 8 weeks of active work once materials are on site - a finish-level refresh is faster, while a full layout change that moves cabinetry, plumbing, or walls takes longer.
Add a few weeks up front for design, selections, and ordering, since cabinets and stone have real lead times. Your project manager gives you a realistic roadmap and keeps you updated at each phase.
How do cabinet and countertop lead times affect the schedule?
Cabinets and stone countertops are the long-lead items on most kitchens, so we finalize those selections early and order them before demolition - then build the install schedule around their delivery dates.
Planning ahead here is what keeps a kitchen from stalling halfway through, and your project manager tracks every lead time so the trades show up in the right order.
How does pricing work?
Free estimate visit: We meet on-site at no cost to understand your goals, scope, and timeline.
Feasibility range: After the visit, we provide a realistic budget range for free so you can decide if the project is in the right neighborhood before going deeper.
Design + detailed quote: If you're comfortable with the range, we move into design and selections (a design fee applies), then deliver a detailed quote based on the finalized specifics.
Can I use my kitchen during the remodel?
Your kitchen is out of use during the main phase of the work, but wherever possible we help you set up a small temporary kitchen - fridge, microwave, and coffee - so daily life keeps moving.
We sequence the job to keep the rest of your home livable, protect surrounding areas with dust barriers, and do daily cleanup, and we walk through the timeline up front so you can plan around the days the space is offline.
Do you handle plumbing, electrical, and appliances?
Yes. A kitchen touches plumbing, electrical, gas, and ventilation all at once, so we coordinate the licensed trades, can relocate sinks and islands, add outlets and lighting circuits, and set your appliances during install.
We pull any required permits and your project manager keeps every trade on schedule, so you don't have to chase anyone down.
Can you build from designs I already have?
Absolutely. We're glad to be the builder on a kitchen you've already designed, whether you have a designer's plans, drawings, or detailed ideas of your own.
We do review the designs first and prepare our own quote from them, so the pricing reflects our scope, materials, and quality standards. That keeps the estimate accurate and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
What kind of warranty do you provide?
A 1-year workmanship warranty on all work performed by ISI Construction and our trade partners.
- Covers defects in workmanship.
- Does not cover damage caused by vandalism, homeowner neglect, or theft.
- Many products include manufacturer warranties (varies by item).
“We had a couple of warranty issues that they were right on top of. Extremely satisfied with the whole remodel.”— Ralph B., Whole-Home Remodel

“Homeowners Deserve Better”
Frustrated with the lack of transparency and quality while working for large production builders, Joe and Tyler felt unable to enact the changes their Christian values demanded. In April 2022, they took a leap of faith and founded ISI Construction.
Our mission is to bring integrity, honesty, transparency, and exceptional craftsmanship to your home remodel project.
“We knew homeowners deserved better. That's why ISI Construction exists - to protect clients from bad practices and deliver high-quality work at a fair price, without ever sacrificing our morals or values.”
