A professional contractor can provide a more accurate timeline after assessing the specific project.
What factors should I consider when planning an entryway renovation?
Key factors to consider include the overall style of your home, your budget, the functionality you desire (e.g., storage space, seating), and any existing architectural features. Additionally, it's essential to think about the flow and how the entryway connects to other spaces in your home.
Do I need permits for an entryway renovation?
Whether permits are required depends on the extent of the renovation and local building codes.

It's best to consult with a professional contractor or local building authority to determine the necessary permits for your project.
Can I live in my home during the entryway renovation?
It is often possible to remain in your home during an entryway renovation, especially if the project is limited to the entryway itself.
