The Homeowner’s KitchenCRATE Experience
What was your favorite part of the kitchenCRATE process?
It was such a delight to find a company that was not only up-to-date on style and decorating, but also mindful of living conditions and the remodeling process. The kitchenCRATE team dazzled me as a wife with their vast selection of granite, quartz, tile, and backsplash options and catered to my husband’s remodeling timeline. From day one, the team worked with our vision and made our dream kitchen become a reality in less than two weeks!
What was your favorite part about the kitchenCRATE team?
The kitchenCRATE team was intelligent, respectful of busy households and schedules, and above all, professional. Each and every member who visited our home was mindful to greet us with a smile and conversation, or an update on the daily work and progress being made.
Was there anything about the process or project that surprised you? If so, what was it?
The demolition day was a breeze. Well, maybe not for the workers—but definitely for us! We left our house one morning and came back to a completely different kitchen that night! The brown cabinets had been removed, the old square tile is gone, and the new farmhouse sink already installed. This type of efficiency only comes with a group of professional men who know their demo business!

Day by Day Progress
(Note: We added a few extra days to our normal 7-day process to accommodate the owner-request add-ons)
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 and then went to town removing the appliances, countertop, backsplash, plumbing fixtures, 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 undercabinet LED lighting and a new pendant light above the sink.
Day 3 – The sheetrock was repaired and prepped 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 Manteca home. Two coats of Kelly-Moore Dura-poxy paint in Picket Fence 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 painting team was back on site to paint the walls and ceiling.
Day 7 – The countertop installation team arrived to install the beautiful Kohler Whitehaven Tall Apron front sink in white, the MSI Montclair White quartz countertops with a mitered edge.
Day 8 – The tile backsplash artisans were on site to install the Daltile Urban Putty 3″ x 6″ gloss subway tiles with an accent of Bedrosians Manhattan Fifth Avenue random interlocking mosaic tiles on the backsplash. This was grouted using Laticrete Marble Beige grout.
Day 9 – Lastly, the kitchenCRATE team installed the homeowner’s 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 Kohler Simplice faucet and Transitional soap dispenser, each with a vibrant stainless finish, were installed and the entire project was cleaned, top-to-bottom.
