Need a Realistic Remodel Calendar?
HomeStyle allows 15 months after closing to finish financed work — your commitment letter sets the exact clock. Scope, permits, and contractor capacity determine whether that window feels comfortable or tight.
A practical sequence that keeps draws and the completion deadline aligned.
A cosmetic kitchen refresh may wrap in weeks. A structural gut with new systems, roofing, and interior finishes can consume most of the 15-month window — especially with permit backlogs or long lead-time materials.
FHA 203(k) Limited allows 9 months; Standard allows 12 months. HomeStyle's 15-month completion window is one reason borrowers with heavier scopes lean conventional when credit and occupancy allow.
