A recent Sugar Land kitchen remodel pulled almost every category from our catalog into one room. Here's how it came together — and what we'd do differently next time.

The brief

The homeowner wanted a quiet modern kitchen with matte black cabinetry, a white waterfall island, and built-in appliances. Footprint stayed the same; everything else changed.

What we supplied

  • Flat-panel matte-black cabinets (custom-built to room dimensions)
  • Calacatta-look quartz counter top with waterfall ends on the island
  • Bookmatched natural marble backsplash (a single 36×60 slab)
  • Counter-depth 36" french-door refrigerator (panel-ready)
  • Slide-in gas range & 24" built-in dishwasher (44 dB)

Three things we'd do again

  1. Order all materials at the same time. Counter and cabinet manufacturers are running 6–8 weeks; aligning lead times kept the install on a single 10-day window.
  2. Specify a panel-ready fridge early. Cabinet doors had to be sized to the appliance, not the other way around. We caught this in the shop drawings — barely.
  3. Spend on the backsplash. One book-matched slab does more than any tile pattern.

One thing we'd change

We specified soft-close on every door but forgot the toe-kick drawers. The homeowner asked about it after install. We'd add it by default now.
