Day by Day Kitchen Remodeling 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, out-dated light box, 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 can lighting. Five six inch can lights were placed strategically around the kitchen to optimize the lighting over workspaces.
Day 3 – Next, we used metal-stud framing to sheetrock the ceiling at the old lightboxes 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, 5, 6 & 7 – Since all the walls and the ceilings had been protected, the painters began the process of striping the cabinet boxes to prepare them for the new stain. Once the cabinets boxes were stripped of their original finish, the cabinet boxes were stained with a beautiful Old Masters American Walnut stain. This process entails a spray application of the stain, followed by a clear coating for the utmost durability. This same process was used on the doors and drawers, which are stained off-site in a climate-controlled booth for the highest possible quality.
Day 8 – The walls and ceiling in the kitchen also received a fresh coat of paint. Kelly-Moore December Rain with a satin finish was applied to the walls while the ceiling received a fresh coat of Kelly- Moore Swiss Coffee
Day 9 – The countertop installation team arrived to install the beautiful Blanco Diamond Double Bowl sink in cafe brown and the Silestone Copper Mist quartz countertops with a bullnose edge detail.
Day 10 – The tile backsplash artisans were on site to install the Bedrosians Venato Travertine 3″ x 6″ natural stone brushed tiles with an accent of Bedrosians Manhattan Broadway glass mosaic tiles set in a staggered pattern on the backsplash. The tile was grouted using Laticrete Latte grout.
Day 11 & 12 – The tile team was back on site to install the Bedrosians Chesapeake Light Cherry 8″ x 36″ porcelain floor tiles. The flooring was grouted using Laticrete Desert Khaki grout.
Days 13 & 14 – Lastly, the kitchenCRATE team installed the homeowner’s appliances. The transformation then hit the home stretch with the installation of the freshly-stained 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 of all construction debris.
