Kitchen Remodeling
This Woodbridge kitchen is proof that two-tone is more than a trend when it’s done with intention. We paired a deep indigo island with soft nickel-gray perimeter cabinets, wrapped the whole room in MSI Calacatta Ultra quartz — countertops and full backsplash in the same stone — and rebuilt the space around how the family actually cooks: cooktop on the island, double wall ovens, a microwave drawer on its own dedicated line, and seating for the after-school rush. Beyond the finishes, we removed the old pantry walls, took down a section of soffit, and replaced the flooring across the entire main level.
Project at a Glance
The Design
The heart of this kitchen is contrast used with purpose. The island — the room's workhorse, with the cooktop, prep space, and seating for three — wears Fabuwood's deep Indigo, while the perimeter stays in soft Nickel gray so the room reads bright and open. Both are classic shaker fronts from the Allure Galaxy line: all-plywood boxes, solid wood frames, soft-close hinges and drawer rails, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
MSI Calacatta Ultra quartz does double duty as countertop and backsplash — the same stone runs from the pencil-edged counters straight up to the wall cabinets, so the veining flows uninterrupted with no grout lines to scrub. Radius corners soften the island where the family traffic wraps around it. Satin nickel Hayworth pulls, under-cabinet LEDs, and a run of HALO recessed lights finish the room; a new pendant hangs over the dining table.
What Work Was Included
- Demolition & prep: full work-area preparation, demolition and debris removal, including a section of soffit at the end of the cabinet run, with all deliveries and multiple trash pickups handled by our crew.
- Cabinetry: Fabuwood Allure Galaxy kitchen installed per the approved drawings — Indigo island, Nickel perimeter.
- Countertops & backsplash: MSI Calacatta Ultra quartz throughout — fabrication, transport and installation, pencil edging, radius corners, and all cutouts (sink, cooktop, faucet), plus matching stone backsplash between the counters and wall cabinets.
- Appliance hookups: refrigerator, island cooktop, double wall ovens and microwave drawer connected, with a new dedicated electrical line run for the microwave drawer's relocated position.
- Electrical package: HALO 6" LED recessed lights, under-cabinet LED lighting on a new switch, GFCI-protected island outlets, new Leviton Decora switches, a client-supplied pendant installed over the dining table, and a new surface-mounted light in the mudroom.
- Pantry removal: pantry walls opened up with new shelving and wiring; all related walls patched, sanded and primed.
- Flooring: new hardwood across the main level (~700 sq ft) with baseboards and shoe molding, and Happy Floors Iron Glacier porcelain tile in the kitchen and mudroom (~450 sq ft) with 4" white wood baseboards and wood thresholds.
- Paint: walls, trim and ceiling of the entire kitchen in Benjamin Moore — white ceiling and trim.

Two-tone works when the contrast has a job to do. Here, the indigo island anchors the room's center while the nickel perimeter keeps the space bright — and because both are classic shaker doors in a quality line (Fabuwood Allure Galaxy, all-plywood boxes with soft-close hardware), you can repaint a wall color long before these cabinets look dated.
Yes — this project included both. We removed the pantry walls, added new shelving and wiring, took down a section of soffit at the end of the cabinet run, and patched, sanded, and primed every affected surface. As a Class A licensed design-build contractor, structural checks, electrical, and drywall all happen in-house.
We do, and this kitchen shows why it's worth it: the Calacatta Ultra quartz runs from the countertop up to the wall cabinets with no grout lines to clean and no tile pattern competing with the stone's veining. It reads calm, custom, and seamless.
