This completed kitchenCRATE is all about the details. New LED recessed lighting replaced the dated box light, and the new beautiful stainless steel farmhouse sink perfectly ties in the cabinet hardware, backsplash, and countertops!
But don’t just take our word on how well this job turned out. Look below for the project specifications and extensive before and after pictures of this Stockton kitchen remodel!

Day by Day Progress
(Note: We added a few extra days to our normal 7-day process to accommodate the owner-request add-ons, like these.)
Here’s how we did it:
Day 1 – Demo Day! On this first day, we set up plastic walls to protect the home from dust, protected the path from the entry door to the kitchen with building paper, and then went to town removing the appliances, countertops, backsplash, plumbing fixtures, out-dated light box, and cabinet doors and drawers. We also reinforced the plywood sub-tops with steel straps to support the new quartz counters and cantilever bar top. Toward the end of the day, we created the template for the new quartz countertops, which take a few days to fabricate off-site.
Day 2 – The electrical team began the wiring for the new LED recessed lighting and the new under-cabinet LED lighting. Six six-inch LED can lights were placed strategically around the kitchen to optimize the lighting over work spaces. Next, we used metal-stud framing to sheetrock the old light box and then hung and taped the sheetrock. The team also modified the cabinets at the sink to accept the new Kohler Strive tall apron front sink.
Day 3 – The sheetrock was repaired and made ready for the new tile backsplash.
Day 4 – Since all the walls and the ceilings had been protected, our painters began preparing and priming the cabinets in the kitchen. Using a high-grade, oil-based primer every inch of the kitchen cabinets were caulked, sanded and primed. This is the first (and perhaps most critical) step of creating a durable paint finish.
Day 5 – The painters then began refinishing the kitchen cabinets in this Stockton home. Two coats of Kelly-Moore Dura-poxy semi-glass paint in Swiss Coffee were applied to the thoroughly sanded and primed cabinets. This same priming and painting process was used on the doors and drawers, which are painted off-site in a climate-controlled paint booth for the highest possible quality.
Day 6 – The painters were on site to paint the walls and ceiling. Kelly-MooreGhost Town paint with a Satin finish was applied to the walls and the ceiling was painted to match the existing color.
Day 7 – The countertop installation team arrived to install the beautiful Kohler Strive tall apron front stainless steel sink and the Bedrosians Boston Shores quartz countertops with a mitered edge detail.
Day 8 – The tile backsplash artisans were on site to install the Bedrosians Grace Sabbia 4″ x 12″ glass tiles on the backsplash. This was grouted using Bostik Mobe Pearl grout.
Days 9 & 10 – Lastly, the kitchenCRATE team installed the homeowner’s appliances. The transformation then hit the home stretch with the installation of the freshly-painted new cabinet doors and drawers. The final day of the project included an array of “touch-up” items: all outlets and switches were replaced, the Moen Nori high arc faucet in a Spot Resist Stainless finish was installed and the entire project was cleaned, top-to-bottom.
