Revitalized Kitchen Remodel – Redmond Ave, San Jose, CA

Outdated Cabinet Finish and Color Contrast
The original cabinetry had a worn, uneven finish with clashing tones between upper and lower cabinets. The lack of cohesion made the space feel visually cluttered and dated.

Worn Countertops and Inefficient Layout
The counters showed signs of age, and their dull surface didn’t reflect light or match the client’s desired aesthetic. There was also limited prep space and awkward transitions between zones.

Poor Lighting Conditions
A single overhead light left dark corners around the work areas, especially under the upper cabinets. This made food prep and cleanup harder and created visual shadows across the counters.

Revitalize the Cabinetry While Retaining Structure
Deliver a clean, updated finish without replacing all cabinet boxes, to stay within budget and reduce waste.

Install Durable and Beautiful Surfaces
Replace countertops with something long-lasting, bright, and neutral that wouldn’t overwhelm the space.

Incorporate Practical Lighting for Everyday Use
Improve visibility in key prep zones by adding sleek, unobtrusive under-cabinet lighting and modern fixtures.

Maintain Existing Layout with Upgraded Functionality
Keep plumbing and major appliances in place, but elevate every element around them with better materials and finishes.

Balanced Two-Tone Cabinetry
The updated palette of soft green and white adds visual interest while still feeling cohesive and fresh.

Elegant and Functional Surfaces
Quartz counters and backsplash improved both form and function, offering durability and visual clarity in the space.

Modern Flow Without a Full Gut
The original layout was retained, but the kitchen now feels like a complete transformation thanks to new surfaces and appliances.

Client Delight and Everyday Comfort
The homeowners now enjoy a kitchen that feels spacious, practical, and timeless—perfect for daily use and entertaining.

Cabinet Refinishing:

• Bottom cabinets were refinished in a soft pastel green to introduce subtle color and warmth, while upper cabinets were painted in bright white for a clean, open feel.

• We used a high-quality spray application to deliver a factory-grade finish with no brush marks.

• All hardware was upgraded to brushed chrome pulls and handles, adding a modern touch without overpowering the cabinetry.

Countertops & Backsplash:

• Installed white quartz countertops with soft veining for a clean, timeless aesthetic and easy maintenance.

• We included a 4″ integrated backsplash lip to provide splash protection while keeping the look minimalist.

• Seamless fabrication meant no awkward transitions or bulky seams, giving it a continuous, polished finish.

Appliances & Fixtures:

• Integrated a professional-grade range and matching vent hood with clean lines and stainless steel finish.

• Relocated the microwave to a built-in cabinet shelf for more counter space and a sleeker look.

• Upgraded sink and faucet to brushed nickel with deeper basin and pull-down sprayer.

Lighting:

• Installed under-cabinet LED strip lighting with dimmable controls to highlight workspaces and improve functionality.

• Replaced overhead bulbs with soft daylight recessed cans, balancing the cool undertones of the quartz and white cabinets.
