Day by Day Progress Breakdown
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 granite counters and cantilever bar top. 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 sheetrock was repaired and made ready for the new tile backsplash while two roll-outs were added to the cabinets under the cooktop.
Day 3 – 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 4 – The painters then began refinishing the kitchen cabinets in this Modesto home. Two coats of Kelly-Moore Dura-poxy semi-glass paint in Swiss Coffee 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. The painters also applied Kelly-Moore Raw Sugar with a semi-glass finish to the walls and painted the ceiling.
Day 5 – The countertop installation team arrived to install the beautiful Kohler Bakersfield single bowl sink in White and the MSI Chakra Beige quartz countertops with a mitered edge detail and a waterfall edge at the peninsula.
Day 6 – The tile backsplash artisans were on site to install the Daltile Almond 3″ x 6″ gloss tiles on the backsplash. This was grouted using Laticrete Almond grout.
Days 7 & 8 – 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 Bellera faucet and Transitional soap dispenser, each in Oil-Rubbed Bronze, were installed and the entire project was cleaned, top-to-bottom.
