It’s hard to believe this kitchen was originally built in the 1940s with it’s new modern and sleek look. The new quartz countertops and glass tile backsplash pair beautifully together against the white cabinets!

But don’t just take our word on how well this kitchen remodel in Lodi, CA turned out.  Look below for the project specifications and the project complete pictures!

Day by 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then went to town removing the appliances, countertops, backsplash, plumbing fixtures, cabinet doors and drawers, and outdated light fixture. 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.

Days 2 & 3 – The electrical team began the wiring for the new can lighting.  Four six inch can lights were placed strategically around the kitchen to optimize the lighting over workspaces while the cabinets were modified to accept the new wine refrigerator along with four new pull out shelves.

Day 4 –  The sheetrock at the countertop was repaired and made ready for the new tile backsplash.

Day 5 – 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 6 – The painters then began refinishing the kitchen cabinets in this Lodi home. Two coats of Kelly-Moore Dura-poxy semi-glass paint in Navajo White 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 Braun with a satin finish was applied to the walls and Light Frost was applied to the ceiling.

Day 7 – The countertop installation team arrived to install the beautiful Blanco Diamond Cafe Brown double bowl sink with a low divide and the Bedrosians Sequel Brown Lefan quartz countertops with a mitered edge detail.

Day 8 – The tile backsplash artisans were on site to install the Arizona Tile Skylights Cashew 3″ x 6″ glass tiles on the backsplash. The backsplash was grouted using Laticrete Desert Khaki 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 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 of all construction debris.
