Sometimes, it’s the small projects that make the most significant difference.This West Sacramento homeowner wasn’t dealing with a leak or a remodel — they just wanted their kitchen to feel fresh again. The old sink and faucet worked fine, but after years of use, they were ready for an upgrade that looked as good as it functioned.
Out with the Old, In with the Sleek and Shiny Kitchen Sink Upgrade
The homeowner had already picked out their new setup — a Kohler Verse double-bowl, top-mount stainless steel sink, and a matching Kohler Vibrant Stainless pull-down faucet. Sleek. Clean. Timeless. The perfect kitchen sink upgrade.
It was a like-for-like replacement, so no countertop modifications were needed — but there was one little surprise: the new sink didn’t come with a pre-cut hole for the dishwasher air gap.
No problem. Our team grabbed the right metal drill bit, carefully bored a smooth, perfect opening, and installed that air gap just the way it should be.
Once everything was fitted, we sealed the sink with clear silicone caulking for a watertight, professional finish. The whole project wrapped up in just a couple of hours, start to shine.
A Quick Check Turned Into Smart Preventive Care
While connecting the new faucet, we took a peek under the sink — because that’s where the real story often hides. The angle stops (the small shutoff valves under the sink) had clearly seen better days. These little valves shut off water to your faucet, and they’re among the top causes of surprise household leaks when they fail.
We explained what we saw, let the customer decide, and they opted to upgrade all three — hot, cold, and dishwasher — with DAHL brand solid-brass valves. These premium valves are built to last and come with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty, giving homeowners real peace of mind that their new setup won’t become a future headache.
