This white and gray kitchen came together in just 9 days and the details of this kitchen are what make it unique and fun. The Bedrosians Dimensions tile backsplash is a great alternative if you’re not a fan of subway tile, and looks great with the new quartz tops!
But don’t just take our word on how well this Riverbank kitchen remodel turned out. Look below for the customer testimonial, project specifications and extensive before and after pictures!
The Homeowner’s kitchenCRATE Experience in Riverbank, CA
What was your favorite part of the kitchenCRATE process?
The part of the process I loved the most was that there is one point person that you talk to regarding all aspects of the project.
What was your favorite part about the kitchenCRATE team?
My favorite part of the kitchenCRATE team was their friendliness. Willy and Jake were great to work with. I enjoyed working with your team and have been spreading the word.
Was there anything about the process or project that surprised you? If so, what was it?
The part of the project that surprised me was how fast the team was able to accomplish the project. There were a few bumps in the road with the backsplash going in, but Jake was able to get it corrected right away.

Day to Day Remodeling 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 and cabinet doors and drawers. We also reinforced the plywood sub-tops with steel straps to support the new quartz counters. Toward the end of the day we created the template for the new countertops, which take a few days to fabricate off-site.
Day 2 – The electrical team began the wiring for the new pendant lights and new LED undercabinet lighting while the team removed the desk to make room for the new hutch and modified the cabinets at the cooktop and oven to accept the new slide in range.
Day 3 – The sheetrock at the countertop 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 Riverbank home. Two coats of Kelly-Moore Dura-poxy semi-gloss Not My Fault paint were applied to the thoroughly sanded and primed lower cabinets and Kelly-Moore paint to match Dunn Edwards Cottage White was applied to the upper 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 walls and ceiling in the kitchen also received a fresh coat of paint to match the existing colors.
Day 7 – The countertop installation team arrived to install the beautiful Blanco Diamond Super Single Bowl sink in Cinder and the Arizona Tile Lyskamm quartz countertops with a mitered edge detail.
Day 8 – The tile backsplash artisans were on site to install the Bedrosians Dimensions Silver hexagon pattern 12″ x 24″ tiles. The tile was grouted using Laticrete Light Pewter grout.
Days 9 & 10 – Lastly, the kitchenCRATE team installed the homeowner’s new appliances. The transformation then hit the home stretch with the installation of the freshly-painted cabinet doors and drawers. The final day of the project included an array of “touch-up” items: all outlets and switches were replaced, the pendant lights were hung, the Kohler Simplice faucet and Transitional soap dispenser, each with a vibrant stainless finish, were installed and the entire project was cleaned of all construction debris.
