Kitchen Renovation: A Complete Product List.

A complete kitchen renovation involves coordinating product specifications across 8 to 10 distinct categories, each with its own supply chain, lead time, and decision tree. This guide lists every category that gets specified during a kitchen renovation in the order decisions typically need to land, and links to the relevant Crateworks category for direct-sourced supply.

The complete product list.

Cabinets: doors, drawers, boxes, hardware, and any specialty pieces (corner units, pantry, full-height). The largest spec decision and typically the longest lead time. See kitchen cabinets.

Countertops: quartz, quartzite, marble, granite, or solid surface. Decided after cabinet plan because counter dimensions depend on cabinet layout. See tile + stone for slab options.

Flooring: hardwood, engineered hardwood, LVP, tile, or large-format porcelain. Often decided alongside cabinets to coordinate visual relationships. See flooring.

Backsplash: tile (subway, large-format, mosaic), stone (marble slab matching countertop), or glass panel. Decided after countertop. See tile.

Lighting: pendant fixtures over island, recessed ceiling lights, under-cabinet task lighting, and any decorative chandelier or sconce. See lighting.

Plumbing fixtures: kitchen faucet, pot filler (if specified), under-sink water filtration, instant hot water tap. See sanitary faucets.

Sink: stainless, fireclay farmhouse, granite composite, or copper. Decided based on counter cutout and aesthetic. Specify before counter fabrication.

Appliances: refrigerator, range, hood, dishwasher, microwave, wall oven if applicable. Appliance dimensions drive cabinet spec.

Hardware: cabinet pulls, knobs, hinges. The finish should coordinate with lighting and plumbing fixtures.

Optional: built-in shelving and millwork, banquette seating, breakfast nook, pantry door (Dutch or barn). See cabinets and interiors.


Common questions.

What is the right order to spec a kitchen?
Cabinets first (drives every other decision through layout), then countertops, then flooring, then backsplash, then lighting and plumbing fixtures, then hardware. Appliances run in parallel because dimensions affect cabinet spec.
Can I get all kitchen products from one source?
Yes through Crateworks coordinated direct sourcing across cabinets, countertops, flooring, tile, lighting, sanitary, and hardware. One quote, one shipment coordination, one product family.
What is the typical kitchen renovation lead time?
12 to 24 weeks from final spec to install-ready delivery, depending on volume and category coordination. Cabinet lead time usually controls the schedule; coordinating other categories on the same lead time reduces install delays.
