Today’s kitchenCRATE features: new shaker-style cabinet doors, MSI Coronado quartz countertops, and Bedrosians Torreon Tumbled Travertine tiles on the backsplash. The neutral-toned colors and new flooring are the perfect combinations, tying in the completed look.
But don’t just take our word on how well this kitchen renovation in Turlock turned out. Look below for the project specifications and extensive before and after pictures!

Kitchen Renovation Timeline
(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then went to town removing the appliances, countertops, backsplash, plumbing fixtures, cabinet doors and drawers and outdated lightbox. 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 quartz countertops, which take a few days to fabricate off-site.
Day 2 – The electrical team began the wiring for the new can lighting. Five six inch can lights were placed strategically around the kitchen to optimize the lighting over workspaces.
Day 3 – We used metal-stud framing to sheetrock the old lightbox and then hung and taped the sheetrock. The sheetrock at the countertop was also 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 Turlock home. Two coats of Kelly-Moore Dura-poxy semi-glass paint in Frost were applied to the thoroughly sanded and primed cabinets. This same priming and painting process was used on the new shaker doors and drawers, which are painted off-site in a climate-controlled paint booth for the highest possible quality. The walls and ceiling in the kitchen also received a fresh coat of paint. Kelly-Moore Wise Owl with a satin finish was applied to the walls and Swiss Coffee was applied to the ceiling.
Day 6 – The countertop installation team arrived to install the beautiful Blanco Diamond Biscuit double bowl sink with a low divide and the MSI Coronado quartz countertops with a beveled edge detail.
Day 7 – The tile backsplash artisans were on site to install the Bedrosians Torreon 3″ x 6″ tumbled travertine tiles with an accent strip of Bedrosians Eclipse Espresso mosaic tiles on the backsplash. The backsplash was grouted using Laticrete Antique White grout.
Days 8 & 9 – Lastly, the kitchenCRATE team installed the homeowner’s new appliances. The transformation then hit the home stretch with the installation of the freshly-painted new shaker 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 Bellera faucet and Transitional Design soap dispenser, each with a vibrant stainless finish, were installed and the entire project was cleaned.
