When it comes to enhancing a home, few projects make as significant an impact as a kitchen remodel. This Modesto kitchen remodel on Via Giardiano showcases how kitchen & bath CRATE can transform an outdated space into a functional, beautiful, and modern heart of the home. From cabinetry and countertops to sinks and fixtures, every element of this kitchen was meticulously redesigned to meet the needs and tastes of the homeowners.
Here’s how this transformation unfolded, detailing every aspect of the remodel while highlighting the remarkable changes that brought this kitchen to life.

Countertops
The countertops were upgraded to AZ Tile Metropolis Grey quartz with a honed finish. Known for its durability and understated elegance, quartz is a perfect choice for a busy kitchen. Features include:
- Mitered Eased Edge: This edge detail enhances the countertop’s modern appearance.
- Extended Island: A 12-inch cantilever toward the living room creates additional seating and prep space.
The consistent use of quartz throughout the kitchen ties the design together while providing a surface that’s both beautiful and easy to maintain.
Sinks, Faucets, Fixtures
The sink area received a significant update with the installation of a Blanco Performa Medium 1-3/4 Bowl undermount sink in Truffle. This spacious sink is both stylish and practical, offering ample space for washing and food prep. The sink was paired with:
- Custom Faucets: Supplied by the homeowner, these fixtures complement the kitchen’s sleek aesthetic.
- Soap Dispenser: Thoughtfully placed accessories maintain a clean, uncluttered look while adding convenience.
The fixtures chosen for this remodel emphasize functionality without sacrificing style. From the under-cabinet lighting in a daylight glow (4000K) to the InSinkErator garbage disposal, every detail was selected to enhance the kitchen’s usability. Additional electrical modifications included:
- Adding outlets in the pantry for small appliances.
- Modifying plumbing and electrical systems to support the new island layout.
Appliances
The appliance suite was updated to include high-end, modern options that enhance both the functionality and style of the kitchen. Highlights include:
- Wolf 36-Inch All-Gas Range: This professional-grade range ensures exceptional cooking performance.
- Viking French Door Single Wall Oven: The addition of a 30-inch wall oven provides flexibility and convenience for baking and roasting.
- Landmark Under-Counter Wine Fridge: Perfect for entertaining, this wine fridge adds a luxurious touch to the dry bar area.
The homeowners opted to reuse their refrigerator, integrating it seamlessly with the new cabinetry using a custom trim kit.
Tile
The backsplash features AZ Tile Shibusa Grigio porcelain tiles in a horizontal straight-set orientation. The sleek, modern design is complemented by:
- Schluter Jolly Termination: In Stone Grey, this detail ensures a polished finish.
- TEC Power Grout in Mist: Chosen for its durability and clean appearance.
These elements bring texture and depth to the space while tying together the cabinetry and countertops.
Paint
The color scheme was thoughtfully selected to enhance the kitchen’s modern aesthetic. Paint choices include:
- Cabinetry: Uppers in Sherwin-Williams Mindful Gray (SW 7016) and lowers/island in Gauntlet Gray (SW 7019).
- Walls and Ceiling: Touch-ups in Mega Greige (SW 7031) ensure a seamless look throughout.
This neutral palette creates a bright, open environment while allowing the kitchen’s other design features to take center stage.
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.
