Enter kitchen & bath CRATE, whose kitchen CRATE Custom remodel package delivered on all fronts—offering a stylish, function-forward redesign that reflects modern living at its best.
Let’s take a closer look at the thoughtful updates behind this Modesto kitchen remodel, from cabinetry to countertops, paint, tile, and fixtures—each carefully selected to bring beauty and practicality into harmony.
Cabinets
One of the standout features of this kitchen remodel is the brand-new custom cabinetry from Falton Cabinets. The full-overlay Shaker-style doors are built from solid maple with slab-style top drawers for a clean, contemporary look.

These cabinets offer an elegant, streamlined aesthetic while providing the durability and storage efficiency this active Modesto household needed.
Countertops & Backsplash
The kitchen countertops feature a luxurious slab of quartz—a material known for its marble-like veining and high durability, perfect for busy families. The backsplash was chosen in a “Picket” pattern for some visual intrigue in a matte white finish to present an elegant and clean look.
- Countertop Material: Polished Calacatta Milan
- Backsplash: 3″ x 12″ Matte White Tiles in a Vertical Picket Pattern
This surface adds both visual interest and practical functionality, pairing beautifully with the white cabinetry to brighten the space and give it a light, modern feel.
Sinks
The remodel included the installation of a spacious undermount sink designed for seamless integration with the quartz countertops. Pairing this with a new garbage disposal and a sleek new faucet really helped upgrade the functionality of the kitchen.
- Sink: Kohler Whitehaven 32-3/4″ Undermount Single-Bowl Farmhouse Kitchen Sink in White
- Faucet: Signature Hardware Amberley Single-Hole Pull-Down Spray Kitchen Faucet in Polished Nickel
- Garbage Disposal: InSinkErator 1/2 HP Badger 5 Compact Disposal
This stainless steel workstation sink comes with integrated accessories like a bamboo cutting board and multipurpose grids—giving the kitchen enhanced functionality without compromising style.
Flooring & Paint
The flooring throughout the kitchen was upgraded to match the existing wood from adjacent rooms. However, the mud room got a brand new look with an intriguing pattern to level-up the aesthetic.
- Mud Room Flooring Material: Montana 2-1/4″ x 10″ Brick Field Tile in Matte in a Double-Stacked Straight-Set Herringbone Pattern
- Grout Color: Laticrete 57 in Hot Cocoa
The matte finish and warm wood tones anchor the room and provide a timeless foundation that complements both the cabinetry and quartz surfaces. Color also played a crucial role in bringing this Modesto kitchen remodel to life. The selected Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams tones enhance the room allowing the finishes to shine while also being a prominent feature.
- Cabinet Paint (Uppers, Oven, and Full-Height Cabinet): Benjamin Moore OC-24 Wind’s Breath in Eggshell
- Cabinet Paint (Lowers and Island): Benjamin Moore 1545 Iron Gate in Eggshell
- Cabinet Paint (Mud Room): Benjamin Moore 2140-30 Dark Olive in Eggshell
- Wall Paint: Sherwin-Williams SW7551 Greek Villa in Eggshell
- Ceiling, Baseboard, and Trim Paint: Sherwin-Williams SW7551 Greek Villa in Semi-Gloss
This varied palette keeps the space airy and open while adding some dark, earthy contrast to make this space truly custom and unique.

Why This Modesto Kitchen Remodel Stands Out
This isn’t just another home improvement project. This remodel reflects a shift in how we live, gather, and cook. From high-tech faucet options and stunning quartz to clever storage and upgraded lighting, every inch of this kitchen was purposefully designed and flawlessly executed by kitchen & bath CRATE.
The result? A space that’s not only beautiful but thoughtfully equipped for modern life.
If you’re planning a kitchen remodel in Modesto, this Sunrise Avenue project is proof that with the right design team, even a dated kitchen can become a centerpiece of the home.
We are very impressed by the professionalism that Bath Crate had as they took care of us and our project. They were punctual, informative, and friendly at every point of the remodel.
